OFFICIAL UPDATE
Dear Angel Token Holders,
It was a long time since we posted an official update here on Bitcointalk, and most of our communications have been taking place inside the ATPIC community. However, this is an important update that affects everyone who purchased Angel Tokens during our initial token sale.
In the past months the entire world has changed due to the Covid19 pandemic.
The pandemic has hit the team behind Angel Token extremely hard. For several reasons we can't go into details of what has happened to our team in the last few months, both personally and professionally, but the pandemic has been absolutely devastating to us.
We want to re-assure all of you that our intentions have always been to treat everyone who trusted us fairly and honestly, and we remain committed to doing so.
In 2019 a vote was cast by the ATPIC community requesting that we liquidate the funds that are still left, (most funds were lost in the crypto downturn due to bad investments) and return them to Angel Token holders and investors. As outlined in our update in January we had planned to initiate this process in mid-March 2020. However, the Coronavirus pandemic put an abrupt stop to that for reasons we can't go into details about. Our ability to initiate the liquidation process was stopped in its tracks.
We also lost a huge amount of important data and information relating to the Angel project, as well as our main technical person who was responsible for handling the technical parts of this process in a safe way. We are now in a difficult position where we have very limited resources to initiate the liquidation and refund process. We may need to hire someone from the outside to assist with this process, but trust is a major issue here of course as everyone understands.
We have a request for the Angel community that would help us get started on re-building our data and help us get re-started with the liquidation process. We would like to ask everyone who purchased Angel Tokens during our initial token sale in 2017 to do the following.
Send a private message to here on Bitcointalk with the following information:
1. The total number of of Angel Tokens that you personally hold and control.
2. The date these were acquired and if they were originally bought on the initial token sale or acquired at some later point on an exchange or elsewhere. (PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THIS POINT WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANYONE WHO ACQUIRED THEIR ANGEL TOKENS OUTSIDE OF OUR INITIAL TOKEN SALE, (ON AN EXCHANGE FOR EXAMPLE.)
3. The number of Angel Tokens you currently hold on the ORIGINAL ADDRESS where they were allocated to you during the initial Angel Token sale.
4. The number of Angel Tokens you hold that have been moved to another address after the initial Angel Token sale, whether because you have personally moved them or because you acquired them from an exchange or somewhere else at a later date.
5. Each of the above messages should be accompanied by the addresses that you are referring to.
Please send this information as a private messages to me and use the numbering system I outlined above.
Please try to keep each message as short as possible, so for example:
"1. I hold a total of xx,xxx Angel Tokens that I hope to get refunded during the liquidation process."
"2. xx,xxxx of these tokens were purchased during the initial Angel Token sale."
"3. xx,xxx of these tokens are held on this original address: XXXXXXXX they were sent to me during the initial Angel Token sale, and have never been moved."
"4. I also hold x,xxxx Angel Tokens that I bought on an exchange a few months later. They are held on this address:XXXXXXX"
WE ASK THAT EVERYONE TRY TO SEND US THIS INFORMATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
The above information will help us establish approximately how many Token holders we are dealing with during the liquidation process, and how many different addresses etc. The entire liquidation process will now have to be done manually, and because of some events that has happened during this pandemic it will be harder and more difficult than we anticipated.
However, we will get through this and do our utmost to keep our commitments to the Angel Token Investment Club and to the entire Angel Token Community following the vote to liquidate, but it will take longer than we had planned. We appreciate your patience and understanding in these difficult times.
On a personal note we want to ask you all to take this disease very seriously, and to try and stay safe from infection. The SARS-Cov2 virus obviously affects people differently, but we have seen first hand the consequences of this disease and it is very bad, even for some younger people.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT BE ANSWERING QUESTIONS IN THIS THREAD OR PROVIDE FURTHER UPDATES AT THE MOMENT. IF YOU PURCHASED ANGEL TOKENS DURING OUR TOKEN SALE IN 2017 WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU RECEIVE AT A LEAST PART OF YOUR FUNDS BACK, BUT WE ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME. OUR AMBITION IS THAT THE LIQUIDATION PROCESS BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE END OF 2020.
