Re: Dear moderator of EXCHANGES it's impossible to tell users about scammers
but there seems to have been a couple of uses complaining about a similar thing recently.
So please make a little investigation who send reports to my posts and whyThere was one more post in my own topic
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4647308.0
This obviously can not be a flood. Yes, this text is also in the starting post. But this is not a flood. New facts emerged and I created a new post, and also added these facts to the very beginning of the topic. This can not be a violation.

DEAR MODERATOR, please do not delete this post. All the evidence given here is extracted from open sources. All this is very easy to verify.
But brazen scammers use your kindness and sweep their tracks at this time. They have already corrected their PDF WhitePaper (they removed last page with the names)
This is previous version:

Evidence that Roman Lapin and Sergey Sokratilin are the main persons in ChangeNOW.io
Let's open whitepaper of their tokens.

Team
Roman L, CEO, has 12+ years of development experience on the edge with management
skills. He has built 2 development companies from scratch. Has more than two years in
experience in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. His background allows him to improve
ChangeNOW service daily while building the most handy exchange interface ever.
Sergey S, Product Manager. Having a degree in physics, Sergey has some brilliant skills in
product management. This outstanding mix allows Sergey to improve ChangeNOW on a
daily basis. The team calls him simply Socrates.
Peter S, Lead Developer, is a blockchain enthusiast...
Denis K, Full Stack Developer, with 3+ years of experience in the blockchain industry...
I did not touch the developers, since I think they hardly understand what their leaders are doing.
Roman Lapin:

As it is characteristic of all cowardly scammers, only after sensing the danger, they immediately began to sweep the tracks. But since I have been on the Internet for a long time and I met a lot of such scammers, I knew this and made screenshots before notifying them about the imminent publication of these materials:

As you see, this person appears himself as CEO of this service.
It was easy to find his pages in social networks

This man is from Petersburg. He also leads the small IT company Evercode Lab
https://evercodelab.com/
St. Petersburg, Ligovsky prospect, 50, building 13, office 28, +7 812 646-96-32
I am absolutely sure that the exchanger ChangeNOW.io is developed and managed from this office in the center of St. Petersburg.
Sergey Sokratilin:
And let's move on to one more person. Obviously, this is the second person in the organization and it is he who answers by email on behalf of Sergey.

Roman Lapin and Sergey Sokratilin are mutual friends in social networks.
I think no one will doubt that these people, being in Russia, run the illegal for Russia crypto-exchanger ChangeNOW.io.
You ask me what I plan to do with all of this. I do not know yet. Of course, I'm considering only legitimate ways of fighting. Also, I would not like to participate in some courts in person, but this option is not excluded. In the end, they may come to their senses and return what they do not own.

Very interesting discussion! Do you have any other ideas about how im being payed? =)
Nah you tell me, I am not the one working for scammers.Really? So why this thread is the only serious thread youve been involved in?
Only offtopic, politics and bitcoin is better than paypal
Because your amazing intellect fascinates me. A scammer defending scammers and pumping his chest. It must be worth your while.
Good. Thank you for your opinion.
You bore me man, I thought you had better game. Now go suck on your pay masters.
Yes man, my kids also always win when we play =)
I feel sorry for them.
the site looks very legit
All scammers seem legit to their victims and changenow.io are no different.They are from operating Russia without a license, illegally, while doing their best to obfuscate that. Their exchange is unregulated, and they are a power unto themselves. In that regard, they can decide to do as they please with your funds and that includes keeping it for themselves.
