Please remove this post immediately. This is nothing more than speculation. You are making a very strong accusation based on very weak evidence. You are free to ask any questions you'd like if you are suspicious of our legitimacy, however outright declaration of our exchange as a scam is slanderous.

Well, since when having fake team members is considered a weak evidence? Almost every project that has used other people identities is or turned out to be a scam. Why would it be any different with you?



Can you name these 30+ popular exchanges you are connected with?

Being able to offer transactions 10 times faster than other exchanges means you have hard working devs. It's just that your github is basically empty:
https://github.com/Bitsmo/Bitsmo

On your website, you claim that you have raised more than $2 million dollars, any proof of that?

And the advice gave from me to guys.

enomcoin - They are a massive scan, Scrap my info profile and used, i report this to local policy on my country and cyber criminal division . They stolen my info. this guys never contact me.
 I never join icos as a team member directly, !!!!!  cto, developer or other, I never join on ico..


bitsmo - i advice to this guys - As i said before , as i said to you in linkedin. Just advisoring.
utpay - i advices to this guys - As i said before , as i said to you in linkedin. Just advisoring.

1) The numerous threads posted here on bitcointalk which you linked above are made by the accounts "dimcoin1", "nikkyBTC", and "futureICOs". These threads were NOT authorized by Bitsmo. These accounts are NOT representatives of Bitsmo.

2) You use the fact that members of our team have photos linked to stock photo websites as conclusive proof that we are a scam. However, here is evidence that our "fake team" is legitimate. I am a part of Bitsmo's marketing department and I am listed on the website. I have met several of the team members personally including Ken Riley, who you claim is not a real person. I'm linking a photo of part of the team which includes myself (Joe Coburn), Ezra Bergstein, and Ken Riley among others not listed on the Bitsmo homepage. Clearly, we are an actual team of actual people.

Understandably, the team is not able to come together physically in its entirety. Moreover, it would be unreasonable to expect that a project in the blockchain/finance/tech space wouldn't consult and communicate with advisors primarily over the internet. Take Felipe Teixeira for example, who we paid as an adviser and communicated with him online.

3) It is far from conclusive proof to say that Bitsmo is a scam because the advisor's photo is also listed on a stock photo website. As shown above, you were wrong about one of the team members whose photo appears on a stock photo site. I am neither confirming nor denying any of the following reasons, however there are many explanations for the stock photos:
It is not unreasonable to believe that some of our advisors may have sent us stock photos to use on our website for the sake of their own anonymity, or that they simply had professional photography done, which they posted to stock photo sites and also used for their bio on our site. I am awaiting more information regarding this specifically and will provide the details as soon as they are made available to me.

4) I see no conclusive proof that Felipe Teixiera is a scammer. The threads that you linked contain only your accusations and insinuations that he is as you claim. If you are going to make these serious accusations, you must provide definitive proof.

All of our advisers have been legitimately paid for their services and have contributed significantly to the project.

I'm criticizing this argument: "Premise: the advisor's photo is also listed on a stock photo website. Conclusion: the adviser is fake and therefore the team is fake."  Weak evidence leading to a bold conclusion. In other words, there is no conclusive proof that there are any fake team members and for this reason it is unfair to assert that we are a scam.  


Some of the top exchanges included in our Community Network are Gemini, Poloniex, Binance, GDAX, Kraken, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, KuCoin, and OKEX.


We are partnered with Modulus Global, who is handling development for the platform and enabling us to reach those transaction speeds.


The data on ethplorer is not accurate because we used internal wallets for the ICO.

I couldn't find Louis Colton and Bill Hogland's names as ICO advisors anywhere on the web. Likely identities are fake, which means that you have submitted false information both on your website and ICOBench.

Modulus Global has partnered with companies/banks like ING, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase etc. but I couldn't get any information about Bitsmo (if we don't count fake shill websites like newsbtc, crossroadstoday where scam projects usually dump awful articles for pennies). I would like to see any kind of documentation that proves your partnership with Modulus if it's not too much trouble for you.

---

If you don't mind please share these internal wallet addresses so that we can check for ourselves. All I see is 42 BTSM holders with approximately $240k raised in ETH, correct me if I'm wrong.

Your name and image are listed on those scammers website, which makes you part of the scam.



Again, where is the report?


We are not stealing your image. Your name and image ARE LISTED on the scammer's website. We will do you a favor and remove the visual part, but we will keep the links.

Really? why are you complaining about this 2 months later?

It was posted on the thread created by you (November 2) you should have made some comments about this long time ago.
" IF I posted ANN thread on BEHALF of them, does that make me partner of them? "  =  YES it does make you a scam promoter/supporter because you were warned about them, and you took no action. You could/should have blocked/suspended/ the thread. Evidence was provided - They had a fake team. But you preferred to remain silent and complain later once their ICO is over. Sorry, but we can't help you. Ask a DT to remove the red trust.

Buddy, did you even checked your inbox? You were the one who gave me negative feedback for Arbitao. I posted content about them, and I removed it 24 hours later after I received your complaint, but yet I NEVER received your reply over it or the negative feedback removed. So, can you tell me what was my fault exactly?

So, ICOEthics, can you please tell me what was my FAULT here? You said that I didn't took action, but I did for Arbitao and that WITHIN 24 hours of the POSTED time and only FEW hours after receiving the complaint, yet nothing changed.
