We caught our first scam!

I was about to share a generous $2.8Million Bounty Pool before I knew it was… more imaginary than Santa.

BobTheGrownUp shared the known ICO scam template in this article Satoshi’s 2nd Gift — “Part 3”: ICO Research, and we can now use this weapon to dissect potential scam start-ups.

Did you spot any similarities of this lazy-ass template?

Mindsync! In the beginning, I was like“Wow, these guys are so generous allocating $2.8MILLION for a 3 month bounty campaign!”

I was completely wrong! These guys have so many red flags that if I put it in one article it will take me months to weeks to compile. But let’s get into important details that made me conclude that this “supposed to be Featured Bounty of the Week ICO” is just a money-grab.

Let’s begin, upon checking the Core Members of Mindsync, nowhere to be found regarding a single word about “Mindsync” that they work with to date. If I had to work with something big (ICO), there’s is no way wouldn’t put my project on my LinkedIn Account to enhance transparency — which was the practice of every legit ICO up to date. It just happened that all this fabricated Team Member in this website appears to be working on similar technology, “AI” and “Machine Learning”.

Did I convince you now? No, then let’s proceed!

If you are about to build something big, you should at least start it with a correct spelling and not a series of misspelled Russian names.

Auto-correct is strong in here; from “Milovskiy” to “Milovsky”

Now let’s move to their claimed partners! Partnerships can tell if they whether they are the next big thing or the opposite!

As they’ve mentioned on the website, AGI, Golem, and SONM are their partners. Let’s put them into Lie Detector Test by asking their claimed partners. SONM has the only partner that has a telegram channel so I pick SONM as the star witness!

SONM just denied right then and there about the potential partnership with Mindsync! It a tragic ending for the cover-up lies.

I’ve been throwing a couple of questions in Mindsync Telegram Channel but have no luck and got banned every time I ask for their office exact location.

Now I leave to you to decide whether am I correct or just wasting my time formulating a different hypothesis that isn’t convincing at all. I leave you the decision whether to pass this awareness or just ignore.

In TalkBitcointalk, either it’s good or bad as long as it bears community awareness — we will pass it on!
