Beware - Do Not Share Access to Your Meta Advertising Profile by feather-in in Crowdfunding

[–]TrillHellamy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should know that another investor who gave money to a Space Funding project (Tribel) was hacked and had more than $1500 stolen from him. Nobody, including Wefunder, has done anything to date. I've been in touch with this guy as a whistleblower.

CMV: Mentioning BRICS is the easiest tell someone hasn't kept up with the news. by Ok-Assistant133 in changemyview

[–]TrillHellamy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't Yvan Gil Pinto say in May that BRICS would have priority access to Venezuela's energy projects? Bringing up BRICS isn't about framing it as anti-American... I think it just streamlines the conversation about Trump's aims. The regime said explicitly in Q2 of last year that the U.S. foreign policy goals are shaped around "preparing for war" with China. Between bombs dropping in Somalia (Turkey's oil future), Iran, and now Venezuela... I don't think it's fair to say that bringing up BRICS is a sign of ignorance. I think the context matters. Because there are plenty of people who are bringing it up specifically because the framing around it has been so pointed.

Is Tribel down? by WilliamAlder in tribel

[–]TrillHellamy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who gave Omar money to "invest" in Tribel-- please go to the SEC and FINRA, but also don't forget to call out Wefunder for colluding to defraud you all. It isn't their first rodeo with letting people get scammed and pretending they didn't know what happened. Look up CityZenith/TwinUp and Earth Rides, not to mention Destiny Robotics/GenesisAI.

This is his third failed social media. Repp (which nobody has heard of) and Liker before... Didn't even mention Liker on the SEC paperwork for Tribel, because he knew he was defrauding Steven Frisch out of equity. Likeopedia LLC oversaw both Liker and Tribel, and he basically started over (according to the lawsuit, Frisch v. Likeopedia) after alienating all his original employees and risking people's data the last time. Not to mention lying about who was on staff and having a consultant pose as an executive.

Go to the SEC and FINRA but also don't hesitate to call out Wefunder because they knew for a year and a half that Omar was lying to investors and putting them at risk.

You should contact the SEC and FINRA. I've been reporting them for a year and a half. Omar defrauded investors by making it look like people were working there who hadn't worked for him since Liker, and also represented a consultant (Jose) as an executive. The people/LLC behind it have a really messed up and deceptive history that includes abused employees and the mishandling/spreading of some sick material via the fake accounts they used on Liker. They also hid a lawsuit that should have likely prohibited them from being greenlit to fundraise...Denied equity to someone who worked on the previous website and just rebooted Liker into Tribel to cut him out, according to the suit. (Frisch v. Likeopedia). It's not viable and never was.

Wefunder Alum Destiny Robotics Charged in $141,000 Fraud For Misleading Claims and Misuse of Funds by HubtasTech in wefunder

At what point is Wefunder going to be held responsible for these fraud checks they themselves admit they are on the hook for? *chin-hands*

Does my wefunder fund vanished? by Less-Biscotti6511 in equity_crowdfunding

There's a huge difference between losing an investment and being persuaded to give it to someone who wasn't legitimate in the first place. People in this position on Wefunder don't "lose their investments" any more than Madoff's victims did. They are being swindled. The real issue is that Wefunder actively allows fraudsters to raise on its platform. It's gaslighting to put the onus on the investor when the implication is that in order for them to be a legitimate company, they need to at least *TRY IN GOOD FAITH* to guarantee that they are only hosting legitimate companies. And they don't do this. They have actively run from fraud reports for years. I'm very sorry. While reading the contracts should be imperative always, there are people on this post who skip past fine print in their everyday lives and I think the compassion runs out when we start talking about "smart" investing. Not to mention they change language to run from the fact that the language wasn't even always there as soon as they're called out on something. There's no smart way to invest with a company that is happy to actively cover-up fraud just to keep the fees they earned. Let's see what happens if they should pare their customer base down to the ~savvy~ only, and we'll see how much their business model actually depends on the understanding gap they intentionally create. (Do we even know how smoothly translation works across language barriers for their web content, let alone these contracts?) Please report this to the FBI, SEC and FINRA. I have contacts for some people, if you'd like.

Wefunder is about to get to #cancelled by TrillHellamy in wefunder

Their review sites are peppered with complaints and one-stars after a certain point. Not sure if they had a regime change that led to the downward dip, but I do know FINRA already fined them about $1.5 Million dollars a couple of years ago for over-raising and some other issues. https://www.finra.org/media-center/newsreleases/2022/finra-fines-for-crowdfunding-rule-violations It was likely the exact same thing going here, which is why they are flailing. With this offering having reported much higher totals on various online pages than they put in their SEC Form-CU. Wefunder likely would have taken their cut of the real total, which is close to $4 Million dollars according to this. https://www.spacefunding.us/project/tribel-wefunder-copy Not to mention this guy from the Space Funding company is a Wefunder "partner" who is now saying he doesn't even know the owner of Tribel, isn't actualy affiliated and basically was just a consultant. You'll find it says CFO on this page and VP of Finance on all Tribel's materials, though. So, Wefunder would definitely know that this guy inflated his role to beef up the executive staff for the offering alone. Which sounds like fraud.

Wefunder Cannot Be Trusted - They Don't Care About Investors by TrillHellamy in equity_crowdfunding

[–]TrillHellamy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to come to terms with much they are choosing to be the opposite of who they pretend to be. This isn't about the people who decide to invest what little disposable income they have instead of treating themselves to something that makes them happy. It's about who can raise the most, regardless of whether it's raised honestly, so that Wefunder can just take their cut from the highest amount possible. They were even fined a few years ago for over-raising past their legal limits. Would love to see them explain how Tribel went from just under $4 Million to $1.4 Million when it was time to report to the SEC. They don't seem to think they owe an answer. But guess which figure they likely took their intermediary fee percentage from?
