Hello all!<\/p>\n

I am very emotional right now when writing this page and I dont know what else I should do than tell the community about this. This past week has been a living hell for me. I have been very sad, angry, nervous, curious and emotionally disturbed and I now rarely sleep because of this. Let me all tell you why the cryptoworld can be very harsh and affect your well being both physically and psychologically. Especially when you have a tremendous faith and trust in a project that you and many others in the community believe in. The project that I and many others have invested in and was looking forward to being a part of, the projects name being MOLDCOIN.<\/p>\n

MOLDCOIN and the MOLD project works nearly the same as ENJIN coin as we all know have been a very successful project. How it differs from ENJIN coin is that the MOLD project can be implemented not only in games but many other broader platforms and the gaming industry is only the beginning of their\u00a0growth.<\/p>\n

They have partnerships with a well known cryptoproject known as FIRSTBLOOD. The legitimacy cannot be disputed some or all would say. I wouldn’t even dream of waking of one day to find out that the project I heavily invested in turned out to be very dishonest, scamming, manipulative and very unresponsive to the community and especially betraying the trust I and so many of us have built and not answering when confronted by these\u00a0facts.<\/p>\n

The ICO was set to 15.000\/ether and gradually decreasing to 10.000\/ether, the total sold was 15.726 ether, meaning roughly 200 million tokens. The amount up for sale was 2 billion tokens and since there was no token burn, this would mean every investor would get roughly 10x the amount the paid for. So maximum 150.000\/ether and minimum 100.000\/ether. Hope you are following? This can all be confirmed by their twitter, tg\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n

How and what did I find that would lead to all this headache?<\/p>\n

Since I had invested heavily in this project, I was getting worried about why I still didn’t receive any tokens when the ICO was long over. I started to explore etherscan and was going to check if maybe there was a smartcontract that I have missed and I would need to claim my tokens if I wanted them. Searching a few adresses I found nothing peculiar that had anything to do with interacting with a smartcontract. What I did find was the distribution adress from which the distribution seemed to be done manually. By a distributor in the team. The distribution adress: 0x5c8f033e2a29467d867c664d62baa08c2d332761<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This wasn’t that alarming because ICOs sometimes tend to not use smartcontracts so I, curious as I am, wanted to see which adress bought tons of MOLD tokens ( I am sure many of you get curious about the portfolio the person investing heavily in an interesting ICO has). Anyways, I started looking around and found a 2,110,249<\/strong> distributed tokens from the distribution adress to this adress: 0xca7d74f033c7ec7e068c6372df9a49b3b148e28e<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When I klicked on this I found that this adress had already been distributed the EXACT same amount, 2,110,249, <\/strong>roughly a day earlier, still nothing alarming. He donated twice, no biggie. Going in to the account I found nothing interesting beside the fact that this person had contributed a total of 15 ETHER\u2026.wait\u2026what?! 15 ether and getting a bit over 4 million tokens? That is 4 million\/15=280.000 MOLD tokens per ether. This shocked me very\u00a0much!<\/p>\n

The real maximum (ico bonus etc) MOLD tokens\/ether is as known: 150.000 and contributing 15 ether would get him a maximum of: 15*150.000=2.25 million! Even considering the bounty etc wouldn’t reach him to an amount of 4.2 million! This was very chocking! I suddenly went back and kept searching and found 3 more addresses getting double the amount as in the case\u00a0above:<\/p>\n

0x38e5203f933e635a2c373d363f619289f983793c<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

0xe549f90043a247f166bd3b78b3099b8ba3723c9e<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

0x9628be77fb3dcd890fd93a5d039092fca855d3cc<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When I really confirmed this I didn’t bother looking for more and so I immediately contacted one of the admins on their telegram group in order to talk about this error (manipulation I would say\u00a0now).<\/p>\n

Name of the admin: ??? (J\u00f9n Y\u00e0n\u00a0Zh?ng).<\/p>\n

I am going to upload all of the conversations so you could decide for your\u00a0self:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Initially when he proposed to shut me up by bribing me, I thought that it was an internal error that they needed to fix and was nothing else going on so as you can see I even told him to reconsider his offer yet he still insisted to give it to me. I would of course not decline because as he said, MOLD team had nothing to do with this and it was his personal tokens I was going to receive. But that was not the case since even the 2 million MOLD tokens came from the distribution adress and was sent to an adress that didnt even contribute to the ICO. This meant that yet again he lied to me and wanted to deceive me and bribe me with the communities tokens.<\/p>\n

Notice that he deleted his picture first above in the chat, followed by changing his username and taking away the title of admin in the group and just disappearing. Ill upload the first picture seen right above these 2 paragraph taken from the\u00a0pc:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

When I confronted him with this as you can see, he stopped answering. I immediately took contact with the CEO and he responded yet when I mentioned, as can be seen on the upload of our conversation on slack, the manipulation of the distribution he stopped answering. I became really nervous now and was thinking that this whole thing smells like a huge\u00a0SCAM.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

So I went back to the telegram group and asked the other admin: Jacob\u00a0Daniel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

zjy0319 is (was) the username of ??? (J\u00f9n Y\u00e0n Zh?ng). As you can see he stopped answering me too. My guess is that they put a gag order on everyone.<\/p>\n

Now this made me really angry and super stressed. They not only manipulated the distribution but also lied again and again and then even stopped answering me. What can be found in this conversation with Jacob is that zjy0319 is indeed a member of the team and not only some manager. So I looked at the team members and found that the surname of one of the team members matched the surname of this \u201cmanager\u201d. His name being Chris Zhang. Now everything fell in place, a simple manager couldn’t possibly manipulate the distribution of tokens but a marketing director\u00a0could.<\/p>\n

When you look at the history of the group tg, you can see this now \u201cSenta Claws introducing himself as \u201cChris from MOLD\u00a0team\u201d.<\/p>\n

So I started thinking something huge is happening and maybe the other team members are totally unaware of this and maybe the CEO earlier just didnt see my posts on slack. All these thoughts became nothing but mere wishful thinking as I even went and wrote to the team on bitcointalk, pms etc and waited all this time yet no one took contact with me. What really blew my mind was that they are trying to manipulate the evidence now. First when the \u201cmanager\u201d being Chris Zhang, changed his telegram and took away his position as \u201cadmin\u201d on tg group of MOLD. Then when nobody is answering suddenly and worst of all, deleting Chris Zhang as a team member on their official website. This was unbelievable. They literally deleted his profile on their website. Luckely, I had already taken screenshots of the website when he was still on, and there is also a youtube video with all the teammembers including Chris\u00a0Zhang.<\/p>\n

Earlier version of the\u00a0website:<\/p>\n

Current version of the\u00a0website:<\/p>\n

They seem to be doing whatever they can to make all this just a random FUD attack and just simply get ignored. Yet I present to you proof over proof and full transparency on everything that went down. I only wanted them to clarify themselves and fix this issue. Yet their unresponsive approach to this led to me writing all this. This has been really tough on me physically and psychologically. I rarely sleep nowadays because of all this and am scared that something is going to happen to me. I am giving all this info to one of my best friends as well. I want to stay anonymous but if something was to happen to me, he and you all knows who would be behind\u00a0this.<\/p>\n

Finally I want you, the community, to be the judges and demand justice and clarification on all this from the MOLD team. This kind of manipulation and behavior cannot and will not be\u00a0allowed!<\/p>\n

Kind regards,<\/p>\n

A faithful community member<\/p>\n
