Another tweet below talks about ICOs https://twitter.com/alee/status/1181784770902016000 https://twitter.com/alee/status/1181784770902016000 " My friends and I invested $1M in Lucas’ @wirelineio ICO in 2018 I haven’t heard from Lucas Geiger in months Lots of false promises made by their advisor @zaoyang - such as @JUN_Omise would lead their marketing, @ethereumecf would be their investor "

  I've never heard of Wireline before, but looking at the above tweet and a quick glance at their website (https://www.wireline.io https://www.wireline.io) makes this whole thing smell like a team of amateurs running a scam. Why anyone would think it would be a good idea to dump a million USD into any ICO is beyond me.

    hey hey it was me :) 1. they promised this would be ethereum community fund's first ever investment 2. they promised q2 2018 token release guidance 3. they promised jun hasegawa would mentor Lucas Geiger to lead a huge marketing campaign 4. they promised other investors were in the round: golem, augur, matt mullenweg, wendell davis, david lee (refactor), dhvc, hashed, qtum and others are investors. i never confirmed if they really were all invested, but this is what was marketed to me
    - andrewlee500 7y ago
      since then - i simply cannot reach lucas geiger or the advisor sizhao, who was the creator of farmville and has a ton of followers on twitter for thought leader type posts. sizhao said he invested in wireline, but now the company denies he ever did. he has since blocked me and doesn't respond

        Pretty good demonstration of why at least SOME regulation of the ICO space is a good idea.

        again i take full responsibility for the losses. i invested with the selfish motive of making a return, for my personal benefit, and it didn't go as planned. however, they did falsely market the investment to me and that is something i do feel is illegal and not okay absolutely they're under the jurisdiction of the SEC as they took money from US citizens

        That's terrible. Good luck to you, hope you get your money back.

        If you have records of these conversations can you not sue them?
        andrewlee500 7y ago
        i have all of the records, yes suing is definitely a consideration at the moment, the new ceo has promised to find middle ground / some sort of resolution after devcon
