Direct Crypt steals money

Another company that uses cryptocurrencies to steal money from naive investors. If you invested with them demand return of your money and file a police report. Don't be in the shoes of my friend by giving these cast of characters any money. There are multiple people involved and hope to see all wearing handcuffs soon. Go read more reviews on the internet about this business. Again, if you invested go get your money and invest it with a respected company.

Hi.

Please kindly continue to help end the trail of terror by Formally Reporting your experiences. Written detail needs to be sent to the proper agencies, and it must come from you. The SEC, FBI crime departments, and State Attorneys ARE interested in what you have to say about the loss of your investment. This is just a landing board for others to find support, but the action must go through to the correct agencies. We trust you will do all in your capabilities as it supports all that were wronged. Thank you for standing up for justice!

Direct Crypt scam artists

Scam artist! Sent money and not heard from anyone and calls aren't being returned. I should of waited for history on them to be established. Trusted a friend!

David Distefano the founder has negative reviews online about being a scammer. The website is all one page and founders like Stanley Lomas have been removed from the site after I invested.

I have no doubts it's a scam, have no doubts my money is gone and this is a genuine and flat scam.

Direct Crypt david distefano / doesn't pay back loans

Few years ago, we withdrew money from our savings and gave David DiStefano a loan. He hasn't even paid $1 to be applied towards the loan in 3+ years. He says his companies change people's lives and that is true. Our lives have been changed as my husband is working a second job so we can replenish our savings. He is a man who cheats and tricks people by gaining their trust and persuading them to believe he is an accomplished entrepreneur in order to get them to loan or invest money with him.

We are aware of a gentleman with great credibility who loaned him a significant amount of money. Not surprising, they haven't received $1 dollar. If this man is so successful as stated on Direct Crypt's website and social media accounts then why is he borrowing money and not making payments. However, he has no issues posting photos on social media with his girlfriend showcasing their expensive clothing, elaborate trips, and illegal drug use.

Message if you have given this man any money and not been paid. We are contacting the US Security and Exchange Commission to make them aware of a potential Ponzi Scheme.

Willowbend4 - Hang in there! Droves of others are turning in their information to the SEC and Red Flags are going up FAST! Their (David and his puppet Morgan who he's convinced to make her own joke of a website) have another investment scheme, and currently it is gaining only the interest of the Trade Commission and multiple State Authorities. Please do NOT give up on ..his time is coming to a close.

Direct Crypt direct crypt / david distefano /

We are publishing this for all future investors and purchaser of tokens with Direct Crypt and its founder, David DiStefano of Miami, Florida.

Direct Crypt was registered as a limited liability corporation in Wyoming on February 27, 2018. The corporate address used was DiStefano's residence 892 Gallery Course Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89148. Upon attempts to serve DiStefano a civil suit at this address it was discovered by Court records that he was evicted from the property due to non-payment of rent.

Direct Crypt utilized 303 Tisch Way, 110 West Plaza West, San Jose, California 95128, which is a virtual office purchased online. DiStefano uses this technique so potential investors would believe his operation has an actual office. DiStefano received $100, 000 from an investor to be utilized in the initial development of cost incurred for the platform. DiStefano misappropriated these funds for his own personal finances in lieu of paying for services in the development of the website and block chain technology. DiStefano defaulted in payments owed, defrauded equity holders, and moved Direct Crypt's operation to Miami, Florida.

DiStefano is now using 78 SW 7th Street, Suite 500, Miami, Florida 33130 again to mislead potential investors that Direct Crypt has a physical office. DiStefano utilizes the same technique with Direct Crypt's phone [protected], which is a Non-Fixed VoIP, which is a disposable Internet created number that can be associated with any address.

It states on Direct Crypt's website ‘DiStefano is an accomplished entrepreneur who has founded, capitalized, and managed several successful companies and currently sits on several boards.' Our investigation discovered that those statements are inaccurate and not factual. The facts are DiStefano has a poor credit rating, various court proceedings, evictions, owns no real estate, merchant account closures, failed businesses, removed from management positions, and opens shell corporations.

If you don't know what you are talking about then shut up, My daughter is David's girlfriend
and the mercedes was a graduation gift from her father and I, and we have all the documentation and where the money came from, not that it is anyone's business, so stop hating on a beautiful young women. Some people's lives are so sad that they have to try and put down others.
