This project was set up from the beginning to launder money for Russian syndicates. Our charges aren't that they stole from just us -- it's that they defrauded every investor from the ICO on. The failure to refute this is itself an admission of guilt; Exscudo's founder is both a coward afraid to answer to a woman and hoping against hope that the member of our group who specializes in asset recovery won't file.
Regardless, I've been getting a lot of messages from non-programmers along the lines of "finally, aren't they're doing something real? Maybe it's not a scam?". For a company of "100 people" to take four years to do nothing other than launder a whole lot of the ICO money -- that, they've done a lot of -- this "project" is a bad joke. They're entirely incompetent.
An analogy: Can you, whomever is reading this, build an IKEA desk from their crap directions in less then four years? I'm guessing so. If not you can pay someone a couple pounds to do it for you. Similarly, blockchains, exchanges, they're all well-understood technology for any competent programmer. Personally, I could launch a closed-source JAVA-language "NION" chain in about 30 minutes. About half a day for an exchange, another day to integrate the previously launched "NION" coin into said exchange and make some pretty graphics. And I'm just a single retired chick.
Anyone actually paying attention: Exscudo's failure to reveal their Data Controller upon request (three posts above) is itself an indisputable crime -- both having a public data controller and disclosure of that person's real name/contact information is required in the EU. That person is personally and financially responsible for violating data control procedures. Failing to abide by the GDPR while committing fraud makes the GDPR charges criminal -- this in addition to (separate) criminal charges of overall fraud.
Hopefully our partner who initiated the charges will be well enough within the next month... ...best wishes in recovery M.T.!
If Exscudo were legitimate, with the amount of BTC they raised (ostensibly meaning they should still have hundreds of millions of pounds in BTC left to litigate) they'd file a defamation suit against me and our group. But they haven't, and they won't.
Because any such suit would require them to prove they didn't launder money from the ICO, thus disclosing where the ICO money went and, additionally, why they chose to defraud our group. The latter of which is wholly indefensible -- once disclosed publicly you'd be surprised at the arrogant, circular logic Exscudo used to steal. After years of excuses why "successfully submitted" withdraws never sent any BTC back, they wrote broken 2FA code, immediately admitted in writing it didn't work, then claimed a long history of it working (no, that doesn't make sense, new code that's broken can't have a long history of working) and somehow blamed us for their 2FA code not working. Tired of their lies contact information for their personally liable data controller was politely requested, as a response Exscudo blocked our account/login. It's utterly ridiculous, entirely indefensible.
So, @exscudo, you violated the law to acquire my protected data. Changing the terms of consent is another indisputable crime, made criminal by holding our mining groups' funds. You have my home address. Use it to file suit and prove me wrong.
