In 2018, members of the Capital Investment Club led by Evgeny Khodulev and Leonid Surkov from St. Petersburg lost about 40,000,000 rubles. Moreover, all these projects were supported by the club's management and were recommended for investment. At that time I was a member of the club and saw the whole situation from the inside, attended meetings, went out into the countryside with the club, took personal consultations, etc. Below are the details that the club management would rather not read, let's go!
ICO BeEasy.io by Alexander Bespalov minus 22 million rubles
The most disastrous project. CEO and founder Alexander Bespalov. At the moment, his site is no longer working. Almost all investments were from the Capital club, about 49 bitokins at the Early Bird stage (pre-ico)... The club's management recommended this project for investment, and Alexander Bespalov was appointed an expert of the club and regularly made reports. Investors were promised the redemption of their tokens at the ICO for an amount 4 times higher than the investment amount.
The timing of the ICO was repeatedly postponed due to the fact that Alexander Bespalov could not attract large investors to place tokens. At the same time, Bespalov spent investors' money on travel around the world, PR, development and other needs. As a result, in the summer of 2018, it became clear that the ICO would not take place, investors would not receive not only X4, but even their invested 22 million rubles.
ICO Export.online founders Natalia Podgoretskaya and Andrey Grachev minus 10 million rubles
The second largest project in terms of losses. The site is no longer working. It was promoted by its founders Natalia Podgoretskaya (CBO, Founder) and Andrey Grachev (CEO, Founder). Almost completely repeats the sad story of the previous project, but on a smaller scale. Podgoretskaya and Grachev were also experts of the club and most of the investments were also from the club. It was planned to buy out x2-x3.
In the summer of 2018, a meeting was held at which Podgoretskaya and Grachev announced that there would be no ICO, but they want to return the money at the rate of the investment amount + 40% per annum. But they will return gradually from September 2018-2018 to December 2018-2018. The question immediately arose - why not return the money immediately? After all, this ICO was not so actively promoted and less money was spent... There were no answers to this. But as it turned out later, Natalya Podgoretskaya bought herself an apartment in Sochi, moved there and registered the children there. At the same time, as of December 2018, according to the members of the Capital club, she gave only 700,000 rubles and nothing else. The funny thing is that Podgoretskaya is currently the head of the Capital club in Sochi, while owing about 10 million rubles to people from St. Petersburg.
Trader Andrey Grachev minus 8 million rubles
The club's management represented the trader Andrey Grachev as a trading guru. He made an investment offer to the club - they were promised a maximum drawdown of 30%, a yield of 120-400% per annum, the possibility of early withdrawal in case of a negative result for 2 consecutive months.
Grachev had 2 accounts on which trading was carried out plus masternodes to support cryptocurrencies. The portfolios were created at the end of May 2018. API trading went into negative territory and deposits began to melt before our eyes, after 3 months about 20% of the initial investment remained. I remind the law of compound interest, in order to reject such a minus to zero, it was necessary to trade at + 450% per annum, which was unrealistic. Investors demanded an explanation. At a meeting with investors on 09/03/2018, Andrey Grachev behaved very arrogantly and retracted his words about a drawdown of 30% and promises to withdraw in 2 months, in fact, breaking all his promises. Then he hid and did not answer calls.
Here's a story. Be careful. The main reason for the problems of the Capital club - the founders (Evgeny Khodulev, Leonid Surkov) have little experience in investments and advertise dubious projects.
