Another search of the public prosecutor's office in Vienna, search for new investors for Cointed probably difficult. CLLB represents injured investors.
Munich, Berlin August 2, 2018: The Austrian start-up Cointed is still under pressure.
Only on Tuesday last week, the Austrian Public Prosecutor for Economics and Corruption conducted another search of the premises of Cointed GmbH in Vienna. Among other things, several hard disks were confiscated.
Since the beginning of the year, the Austrian public prosecutor's office has been investigating Cointed on suspicions of serious commercial fraud, the operation of a chain letter and pyramid game and the violation of the prospectus requirement in connection with the ICO of the start-up.
As CLLB Rechtsanwälte already reported, one of the founders of Cointed, according to press reports, was also involved in the possible fraud at Optioment, in which more than 10,000 investors were allegedly cheated by around 85 million euros with a pyramid game. Recently Charli Aho, shareholder at Cointed, confirmed to FinTelegram.com that Rieger was involved in the fraud at Optioment. Suspicion of embezzlement was now added via the Vienna public prosecutor's office.
For weeks now, Cointed customers can no longer access their accounts on the Exchange portal.
Since then, there has been a suspicion that Cointed is insolvent and the founders have taken the money away from their customers - a view that is now probably shared by the Austrian public prosecutor's office according to press reports.
On July 16, 2018, the current CEO of Cointed, Mr. Wolfgang Thaler, spoke up via YouTube video and announced that he was currently in China looking for new investors who wanted to take over Cointed and save the company. All Bitcoin vending machines will also be sold and a new operator for the Exchange platform will be sought.
With the proceeds from the sales of the vending machines and the platform, a new start of Cointed should then be implemented, whereby the company wants to concentrate on the mining business in the future.
However, the video itself is very vague, no concrete statements are made.
Whether Mr. Thaler is really looking for new investors for Cointed can only be guessed at the moment. What is certain, however, is that both Cointed's clients and the investors who invested in Cointed's ICO have to fear for their money.
