ENVION is the 16th largest ICO of all time and has raised $100 million via its tokenized crowdfunding. Thousands of people have invested to advance ENVION’s idea of green mining. But instead of developing a product (at a time when mining was still profitable), the founder teams are performing a public battle about the control of the company and the project. Fintelegram has been reporting on this case for five months.
Our Position
Fintelegram has a clear point of view and yes, a clear bias – we are siding with the many thousands of investors who are very likely to lose everything. And we are siding with the whole crypto industry which depends on honest actors. Hence, if we uncover the failures and shortcomings of one side, we are not taking sides with the other.
First of all, we would like to say that so far we have compiled and published a lot of information that was very critical of Matthias WOESTMANN’s founding team. Among other things, we brought the details to the background of the Canadian BIG. The article, including a graphical presentation of the context, was posted on both the ENVION Founders’ blog and the ENVION Investors’ blog (meanwhile closed down for whatever reason). Also the FinTelegram in Research Report #1 of Felix G. (see video) was provided as a reliable source of background information. This Felix G. is close to the founding team around Michael LUCKOW. Meanwhile, we have also brought fact-based critical reports about the founding team around Michael LUCKOW. In short, we have always analyzed the ENVION case with a critical distance and to date, we have no personal or financial links with any party. We also hold no EVN tokens and have no other conflicts of interest.
The FinTelegram Poll
A few days ago we voted online on the question “Who is to blame for the ICO mess” in connection with an article about the media activities of the founding teams. Thereupon we were accused by the founding team around Michael LUCKOW and their “meme warriors” by commentary and telegram channels of having received money from the “White Collar Crime” network around WOESTMANN and VAN AUBEL. In addition, founder team spokesman Martin LAURENT called on his Meme Warriors to manipulate the vote and also gave the appropriate instructions such as deleting cookies to be able to vote multiple times.
The manipulation attempts of public opinion in the #Envion case continue. Latest example is #Trado’s Laurent Martin re @FinTelegram’s poll. https://t.co/WfFD8StAQx pic.twitter.com/I2AN7lwlmA

Consequently, this manipulation also happened. After this call to action, the result of the poll changed.
Before this call to action, the majority of the participants did not think that the team around WOESTMANN would bear the blame for the ICO disaster. At that time, “only” 48% were of the voters said that WOESTMANN would be to blame for the ICO mess. After Martin LAURENT’s appeal, this scenario has changed within just a few hours and now almost 55% of voters believe that WOESTMANN and friends are to blame for this.
It is remarkable, however, that despite the massive mobilisation to manipulate the vote and despite the intensive media work that has been going on for months, almost 45% still believe that either the founding team around Michael LUCKOW (35%) or both teams (10%) are to blame for ENVION’s ICO disaster.
Conclusion: despite massive efforts to mobilize their fans, many investors and observers are of the opinion that Michael LUCKOW’s founding team is not so easy to blame. It can now, of course, only be speculated what the result would look like without the ongoing lobbying of the founding team.
What an absolute joke of a ‘story’.
There was no ‘call to action’. The statement had been made it was an utterly pointless poll and it was easy to manipulate, so it wasn’t worth the time anybody took to fill it out.
You’re becoming a laughing stock now.
Thank you for your comment. We along with many other people interpreted this differently. The way the founders are handling their case is definitely not in line with any ethics or law in our view.
I’m not sure if you didn’t monitor this poll closely or you’re deliberately spreading false informations, but those of us who monitored the poll minute by minute saw that it was manipulated by the MW side, as there was a 50 votes jump in just a few minutes. And there is a proof of that (screenshots). Anyway this poll was a joke from the start. Btw ask your CEO what was he doing at the time of the poll…
Hi Skomi, if you do have screenshots that prove that those MW guys manipulated the poll pls provide it and, promised, we publish that. We would be more than happy to do this!
And, actually, we never claimed that our poll is a “high quality” research thing. But it was meant as a joke. You guys made a political question out of this matter.
It was us that disclosed the strange BIG connection the Luckow founders are working with until today. It will be us that will provide more background information on this case. Laughable it may be to you, the crypto scene has a right to discuss this case publicly and maybe laugh about it.
“Fintelegram has a clear point of view and yes, a clear bias – we are siding with the many thousands of investors who are very likely to lose everything.”
replace “many thousands” with the 550 odd in the Sue-Envion telegram group… There are 4000+ of us actually still here supporting the actual reality tho, so… ?
C’mon. Those founder guys are using their funds to bribe all the world. Don’t you see this? It’s so obvious. This self-proclaimed #1 investigator Felix is laughable at best. Of course, this Woestmann and his friends are corporate raiders. That’s for sure but that’s not illegal in the first place. The really important question here is if there has ever been a viable business model or was it a scam from the very beginning. If there is really a Cointed connection then you have your answer. Right?
but is it not the CEO of FinTelegram that has the “Cointed connection”?… is that correct @Felix
Yes, it was our FinTelegram CEO who fired the later Cointed shareholder Charli AHO back in 2016 because of his business behavior.
