Savedroid: Worst Prank in Crypto History or a Reckless Publicity Stunt?

in #bitcoin7 years ago


The crypto house imploded yesterday as one of many hottest ICOs within the trade was deemed as a cleverly organised rip-off. The headquarters of Savedroid had been empty, the CEO of the agency, Yassin Hakkir appeared in a Youtube video saying that the static show on the web site stating that the corporate has disappeared with the cash of 35,000 traders was a farse.

Mr Hakkir is drastically underestimating the intelligence of his traders if he thinks that this PR stunt which he calls “drastic campaign” shall be considered positively by the neighborhood. Not solely has he undermined the belief of his traders, but in addition has drastically impacted the views of any potential cooperators within the crypto house.

But let’s pause for a second and entertain the thought of the corporate not being busted. After all yesterday Bitcoin fanatic Theo Goodman posted a video of the corporate’s workplace. On the video and from a few photos posted right now, we see that the workplace of the corporate continues to be empty and no computer systems are current wherever close to the LCD displays.

In a weblog submit, Mr Goodman explains that no person was current on the workplace of the corporate when he arrived there yesterday. The CEO, Yassin Hakkir, was supposed to talk at a Frankfurt occasion on the 17th, however didn’t present up.

According to the blogger, no individuals had been current on the workplace of the corporate right now, and a few individuals had been cleansing up the premises yesterday. All the whereas, some those who have left the agency are nonetheless listed on the web site of Savedroid.

One factor is definite, Mr Hakkir managed to piss off loads of traders and a few companions too.

All belongings from the @savedroidAG ICO are protected and on no account might have been withdrawn as a result of #escrow. @BankFrick fails utterly to grasp the PR stunt of savedroid’s CEO @YassinHankir as we desire working with professionals. @RA_Hellinger @PNDally pic.twitter.com/UnQMbvH5kR

ICO Consultancy

In a 5 minute Youtube video posted on the web site of Savedroid, the CEO of the corporate explains how he was making an attempt to lift consciousness about fraudulent ICOs and the entire fiasco was a marketing campaign to lift public consciousness about scams.

I can’t think about lots of people will purchase this, particularly after Mr Hakkir has defined how he now plans to begin an ICO consultancy. I for one can’t imagine that anybody shall be trusting this man with something remotely near this trade, not to mention one other ICO undertaking.

Granted, the factors raised by Mr Hakkir in a manifesto which he printed on the area anditsg.one are legitimate. The crypto trade wants a drastic overhaul with a view to be thought-about as a official funding vacation spot. However is executing doubtful pranks going to assist it in any manner? We don't want a reminder what number of fraudulent entities have engulfed the crypto house, we solely want to take a look at a Youtube business that has been circulating round currently.
