I tried to edit my original post to include the apology, but I think the topic is locked. We are very sorry about the incident that happened a year ago. Already sent a direct message to David Irvine for an apology. I had to process the refund for NVO before posting the apology so it took some time before I could post this public apology.
David Irvine and his team has been right all along. @happybeing predicted everything. If a mod can tag this apology post to the main/original NVO topic it would be great. I donât think there needs to be an explanation here since it was obvious to the community. Just a quick recap:
I have been a safenetworkâs follower for years and wanted to build a project using this technology. I brought along technological cofounders and their roles were to verify and build the requirements. One of them was very problematic and lied his way into the project and caused trouble with Maidsafe. He used the established trust as being a cofounder to cause problems for everyone. I didnât stop him due to ignorance and defended him because I didnât want him to be humiliated by the Maidsafe community even though it was obvious he was in the wrong and was indeed humiliated through no one else but his own faults and shortcomings. He is removed and everyone is refunded and no one will ever work with him again.
I donât think mentioned person needs to have more attention. He acted the way he did to David Irvine because he is a small person who couldnât stand being ignored as David was busy and didnât reply to him even though David didnât owe him anything and didnât need to reply to him. He isnât worthy in any way with questionable morals and ethics which should have been detected since day one. Sorry again to the community and especially David Irvineâs team.
Well, isnât that nice. The fact remains you walked away with crypto worth millions of dollars of the original investorsâ money. Fortunately, just a very small fraction of that crypto was mine. I took a chance and lost a little. So be it. Nothing to cry about.
Whatâs worse is, after a year of constant lying through your teeth, you still keep censoring your forums and delete any comment doubting or criticizing you even in the slightest, just like you did before. Are you âsorryâ about that too? If so, how about you just stop doing things you will later be âsorryâ about. Like right away. Like, letâs say, now.
Just âsorryâ doesnât really cut it for me. I do, however, need somebody to chop me some wood for the coming winter. If you come over and do some extremely good chopping, I just might consider taking your apology seriously. I could house and feed you together with the chickens while you do some real work for a change.
The price of faith can be a terrible one. I hope @tonbi has refunded 100% of the remaining funds here. If so then there is little else that will help. It was a travesty to watch and hopefully will not be so easy to happen again. I know how hard it is to stay true and honest (itâs not a choice), but at the same time, you do need to understand the human cost of actions and they can be immense.
The apology is great, the refund, wonderful, but there are a lot of hurt people about. Perhaps more can be done? I am not sure, but if not then it is worth saying so. If more can then there is no question, it must be so.
Always remember " The honest man, thoâ eâer sae poor,Is king oâ men for aâ that." There is no need to keep anything back, the more you give the more you will get back, in spades. I am a testament to that one for sure.
If you do by chance interact with your escrow on any level in the future please pass on the personal disappointment I think many long termers in the space here feel towards him.
Alex with his position in the industry simply should not be allowed to blissfully go off into the good night which is what is going to happen.
Deceit, lies and theft are things all humans are guilty of but the silence from his end tbh was a great big giant middle finger to both this project and the space in general which is to me a lot worse than what you and Imed pulled.
Hi all how has this refund been processed ? I would expect for e.g. returned to the BTC / DASH / ETH addreas that any funds were sent from via the initial ICO right ?
I can check. My transfer was on the 3rd of September, and it should be for around half of what you originally transferred to NVO in BTC terms (basically full refund in fiat terms).
Possibly - theyâd need to calculate their own capital gain & pay accordingly. Proceeds from the NVO refund minus value if initial investment at the time would be a taxable gain.
Hello, It is late to the refund, But I never received Bitcoin in return of my NVST/NVO tokens. Is there a way to access this, the tokens have disappeared but I do not see the Bitcoin in return?
Hello all,
Dont suppose there is anyone here with the actual whitepaper for nvo? I need documentation concerning the role of the escrow, is there anyone who can either send me that documemtation or guide me in the right direction.
