For new people reading this tread. I will enumerate the red flags me and MrsPiggy researched. In this tread and in the following
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7ygz0b/socratescoinio_sapis_very_likely_to_be_a_scam/ you can find all statements. I will give each statement a personal subjective scam indicator vote from 1 to 5. 1 is little red flag 5 is scam evidence.
1.) Website and channels launched after ico start. 4
2.) Whitepaper copy paste with many actual mistakes 3
3.) Informations of the involved organisations (Nauka) is rare or not tracable or launched during ico 4
4.) People involved comes from or had connections to dark activitys even proofed scams (Hasselbacher, Kozlevčar) 4
5.) Website is programed very simple, no connections to blockchain apis where anybody can proof money raised is seroius 3
6.) After asking to disclose the raised amount on the btc eth chains no answear. (Its very simple to do this)
But having time to write long texts for excuse other arguments 4
7.) Registrationaddress not existant 4
8.) Each serious project presentation movies content try to answer the 3 following main questions: 1. What is the problem?,
2.How will the problem get solved by the project?, 3. How does the investor benefit? In socratescoin presentation
movies you just see people fliping coins and drinking vine. Looks like a bad joke for a potential investor 2
9.) They claim to have partnership with big known organisations. After asking this organisations and affiliation get refused
by them, moving references from website. (One for now but probably more coming soon) 5
10.) Instead of fighting arguments they try to manipulate cirical statements on treads 5
11.) Suddenly strange activitys on btctalk. Obvious planed actions. Accounts are new or making many post in other threads
without any weighty content. 5
12.) ICO not stopped yet, still going on for one month. 4
UPDATE TO POINT 9:
AFFILIATION REFUSED OR NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT BY MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY
AFFILIATION REFUSED OR NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT BY UNIVERSITY OF BRASILIA
AFFILIATION REFUSED OR NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT BY DUBNA UNIVERSITY
