Just curious, did any of you read the whitepaper? If you did then why invest? It seems poorly written and very vague.

What concerns me is the ICO rating sites have this thing a really good rating when it should have been warning signs. I guess when the gold rush fever sets in people just dismiss red flags.

I hope you guys get your money back.

You are correct of course, but you must remember, with hindsight comes clarity!
It took me almost two years to accept the reality that Keplertek was a scam from the beginning! Looking back now I can see the obvious warning signs, and I kick myself to have been so stupid as to buy into this con, and it hurts!

You must remember that the original white paper was changed several times shortly after the pre-sale, so it was more awe inspiring and inviting in its original form. I know now that the hundreds of ICO ratings agencies giving them full marks, are nothing more than paid shills! The same goes for all the publications in crypto media, painting a picture that this project will one day take on Silicon Valley.
And they had a large bounty campaign promoting them across the board in every sphere.

Like any successful con, they spent most of resources on building a public image of grandeur. They had countless videos featuring themselves and employed an impressive team of staff, of whom more than half of them were oblivious to the fact that they are part of a scam, and later became victims themselves of this scam, some even more so than investors.

One thing that struck me ass odd at the beginning, but also made me fall for this con, was that they always insisted on speaking to investors on video chat, showing off the team and providing full access to the CEO and team members. They did this up to the point where it became annoying chatting to these bunch of Georgians almost daily. So this should have been a huge red flag to me too!

And if had read all these articles about Reuben Godfrey before, instead of all the good things found in a google search, I would never have invested:

So to add to your post, yes we should have checked and known better as investors, but without hindsight, things are not so obvious.

I doubt we will get our investments back, but at least the world will know who these two scammers are, and they will have a hard time fooling future investors in their new scams.
