Best of Exit Scams in Crypto

Here is a Toplist of Exit Scams in 2018

Bitconnect - #BCC $BCC

bitconnect

  • Bitconnects ATH was in December 2017 at 2.910.000.000 USD Market Cap.
  • Some days later we dropped to 2.711.750.000 USD, a lot of people cashed out at this point.
  • We are currently at 23.200.000 USD now. Thats only 0,86% from the ATH in January.

Bitgrail


Actually we can't speak from an exit scam here. But i thougt it would still fit in here.
Bitgrail had / have a security problem and attackers were able to steal 17 Million Nano.
17 Million Nano are 170.000.000$. Rumors say, Bitgrail is bankrupt now.

Davorcoin - #DAV $DAV


Davorcoin is a "lending" platform with a "guaranteed" ROI of 200%-300%. You guessed right, we know this system from somewhere else (Bitconnneeeect). They had some legal issues in the end and the coin dropped from 180$ to 0.5$ in 2 days. Coinmarketcap don't deliver any further information on the total lost here.

Embercoin - #EMB $EMB


I don't want to spread FUD here, but the CTO dissapeared completly. He left all Discord Channels and deleted his Social Media Accounts. This happened a month ago.

Prodeum - #PLU $PLU


This is the best Exit Scam in my opinion. The Owners from Prodeum had a Softcap of 2100 ETH and a Hardcap of 5400 ETH. At around 18% of the Goal, the Exit Scam started.
~Calculation: 970 ETH * 1000$ / ETH= 970.000$
Funny Fact:

It wasn't enough for the owner to steal your money. They left a little message for you guys:

Confido - #CFD $CFD


Confido collected 375.000$ in their ICO Phase. Right after the ICO, they left with the Money.

Monero Gold - #XMRG $XMRG


Everybody knows Monero, so cheap Monero Gold Tokens were way to good to be left behind. A lot of people bought some, days later the Devs left the Country with your money.
Some 4Chan User left this behind:

Loopx - #LPX $LPX

Loopx_Scam
This one hurts. 276.20 BTC and 2,446.70 ETH were stolen. LoopX is a trading System with guaranteed profits.
The Devs deleted everything and left the Country.

So, what do we learn?

Do yourself a favor and check ICOs at least 5 times before you invest. Hold your earnings on secured wallets on your own computer if you don't plan to sell them soon.

Stay safe my friends.

Die Gier frisst irgendwie meinen kompletten Blockchain Bekanntenkreis die Haare vom Kopf. Ich habe die Hoffnung, dass damit die Leute aufmerksamer werden.
