CZ is a good boy. BNB recovery pump in action now.

This is a wild story.

"Per the agreement, Nerayoff was ennoscriptd to 22.5 percent of all the cryptocurrency tokens sold during the ICO as well as 22.5 percent of all the funds raised by Company 1 “regardless of the method and manner in which [the funds] are raised.

The ICO raised 55,677 ETH during the pre-sale of the token. A crowd sale the following two months raised an additional 20,000 ETH, totaling 75,677 ETH raised, worth about $32 million at the time. Of the 75,766 ETH raised, Nerayoff received 30,000.

The following March, Nerayoff demanded a 10,000 ETH “loan” from Company 1 worth $4.45 million at the time, the complaint says. Nerayoff also introduced Company 1 to Hlady, his “operations guy.”

Jane Doe instructed a Company 1 employee to pay the 10,000 ETH loan to Nerayoff between March 28 and April 1, 2018. The loan was never repaid by Nerayoff, according to the U.S. attorney."

The figures, timeline and domicile of the project ,along with the fact there was a female cofounder seem to match up with the Storm ICO

Nerayoff has already been removed from the Casper Labs website...lol.

COTI have released details on their node and staking programs today, stating a target of 30% annualized returns...

- To be eligible to run a Full Node, operators must stake 100,000 COTI for each node and set the fee they wish to charge per transaction.
- An operator may also choose to stake 250,000 COTI to run an Advanced Node and guarantee a 25% annualized return.

What makes this interesting is nodes earn a percentage of all transactions that go through them meaning profits for runniing a node will increase as more merchants join the network and monthly turnover grows...

100K COTI is approx $2300 USD and 250K COTI is approx $6000 USD roght now.

Sounds a bit like an ICO business model...

After Binance promoted the fact BEAM was listed for "0 BNB". Do they take the community for fools? 0 BNB doesn't mean they didn't pay $300k USD (plus tokens) 😂

DREP doing DREKT things, delaying further token distribution til after mainnet launch...

Btw this is after DREP set up a pre-mainnet (honestly, wtf is that?) in which users had to convert their old DREP tokens over to new "pre-mainnet" tokens. The hilarious thing about this is that the new contract address for "pre-mainnet" DREP looks to be just another ERC20 address/contract...

How do you swap these old ERC20 DREP to new ERC20 DREP? You have to email them and they process it manually.

"To ensure your asset security, the swap request will be reviewed within 1–2 working days" LOL

What a disingenuous tactic to lock up more of the supply on unsuspecting token holders...

Dear DREPer,

For the token swap request email sent after 16th, September, it requires a longer swap time. DREP team will review your email once a week and send it back to you once a month.

For those people who have sent token swap request email before 16th, normally we will review your email within 1-2 working days. However, there are some abnormal transactions, that’s why some people haven’t received their new token. DREP team will deal with these abnormal transactions by this month. Thanks a lot for your patience.

Btw, if you missed the email on the 6th of September requring you to swap tokens by the 16th (a whole 10 days grace period) your email wil now be reviewed ONCE A WEEK and tokens sent ONCE A MONTH.

Seems like even if you did get in before the 16th, some users still haven't received swapped tokens.

And these guys think they can build a working mainnet? 👀

It's looking like it's over for BQQQ.

After a sordid history since launch, which included promising IEO's yet not being able to deliver a single one, a steadily declining token price, an incompetent CEO, along with many other failed initiative's, it appears they now fired their advisors and have offered them 100% commission based payments to list as many shitcoins as possible.

Problem is, who wants to pay to list on Bitsdaq? LOL. They can't even support their own token let alone others. Pure cashgrab tactics.

Did we mention these advisors hold a significant amount of BQQQ that will now be vested and dumped. RIP.

Other channels like Blockchain Lobsters might tell you this is negative and FUD and that we should all be focusing on more positive things like educating ourselves. Hard to be positive when you're a BQQQ bagholder though, yet another set of duped investors who were promised the world and delivered and atlas. When it comes to education the best lessons in life are the ones that cost you the most...

BQQQ = HybridBlock 2.0
Bittrex of Asia vs Coinbase of Asia...LOL
