Aureus - BitKingdom Overview

Aureus is a digital cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, litecoin and many more. Initially Aureus is formed by Bitkingdom Leaders (a Bitcoin Trader Community) to compete Bitcoin hegemony, but on the way they fail, due to in-transparency and inconsistency attitude of the leaders, resulting in loss of trust from members of the community.

Members were promised to get a high price during pre-booking, but when aureus was launched instead, It's far below pre-booking price. 

To be known, each member who was booking Aureus at that time get a variety of prices. The pre-booking price were $350, $380 and $410 per 1 AURS  (or 1 AURS = 1 BTC) at that time, but when the AURS (Aureus) issued, it was counted only 0.001 BTC/1 AURS to each member's wallet.

Here is the complete info :

 Most of the users who are expressing their dissatisfaction with Aureus recently are from the failed community lending program called BitKingdom (BK). Aureus is not, by any means, a "get-rich-quick" scheme like BK. BK was a community lending program that paid monthly returns of 30% which eventually depleted all its capital. In the aftermath, community leaders did not flee to new programs; they stood by their victims and searched for solutions with the remaining 15,000 BTC.

In December 2016, they appointed us, a new management team called Cryptocrest to offer a sustainable solution. We analysed BK's remaining ecosystem with a group of experienced financiers and technology consultants who are known experts in their respective fields. The resulting strategies and decisions implemented were not made on a whim but were meticulously put together after months of planning.

We made Aureus into an actual cryptocurrency (it was merely a token denomination in BK) that is the first to issue Bitcoin dividends and backed by the 15,000 BTC which is now known as the Aureus Bitcoin Trust (ABT). We manage the ABT but it ultimately belongs to all Aureus owners.

Consequently, these owners can decide whether to liquidate the ABT via a voting mechanism. A simple majority will result in all Aureus owners receiving the ABT proportionately. Currently, we are doing our best to promote the Aureus and build up its reputation globally. All our activities so far have been duly recorded and posted on several online platforms: Bitcointalk, Facebook, Twitter, and our official website.

We make no promises on grand investment returns or ask that the former BK members 'invest' more money. There are no uplines, downlines, pyramid scheme structures and ridiculous returns on investment. Expecting a constant return monthly will likely cause you to fall for a Ponzi scheme. No real businesses can promise you this. Even the famous Madoff investment scandal back in 2008, that was 'merely' giving 12-15% returns yearly, was clearly not sustainable and ended up swindling billions of dollars.

Today, aureus has indeed officially entered the digital currency market (Coin Market Cap), but the price is still very far from what was promised and the expectations of Bitkingdom's (ex) members. Here's the recent chart of Aureus on Coin Market Cap :

A member of the community, Augustine Leong in responding a post of The Aureus Community Official Facebook Page said :

Voting has completed but the votes still increasing..Aureus management Team..what the fuck in going on.. 

If we refer to the last announcement of the Aureus, they will return its community fund not late than 5 days after the voting result out. It's mean, "the determination day" will be dated on Wednesday (tomorrow).

Now, the question of the members is, how much of their funds will be returned by aureus, whether in accordance with the capital they have invested?
