I want to start this article with a quote from the Douglas Lions post on LInkedIn :
Sour Grapes......
Mr. Vladimir Udartsev... banned from icobench for selling ratings for pay...
Yet Mr. Udartsev continues to promote himself as an expert despite the embarassament of being banned from the platform in December of 2017.
What makes this situation worse is that Mr. Udartsev continues to post FUD on different forums, writing articles about how you can sell ratings, how experts sell ratings and other negative comments regarding icobench. None of which are true by the way...
Mr. Udartsev is a scammer and a liar by posting such ridiculous accusations without any other proof other than he got caught.
Please share with your networks so everyone knows the allegations this person makes are based on false accusations >and SOUR GRAPES...
And here is just one of the examples, how that scammer is still damaging the whole ICO industry:

And, what is interesting, even thought it is a proven fact, that he was extorting projects (several projects claimed extortion attempts, at least 1 projects provided proofs - VINCHAIN). But he is still functioning as an ICO professional and is taking part in some conferences posing as an ICO expert. What a shame!
