Rugged By MintGate


JEOI Market (Pronounced: 'Joy'):

Was A public platform on Ethereum & Polygon for exclusive unlockable NFT & Token-Gated content.

RugGate : (Possibly A Short Story About Carpets & Fences?)

This Is A True Story About IP Theft & Rug Pulling Scam Artists & Has Nothing To Do With Carpets Or Fences.


Put Upon Post Kindness:

After Working With These Guys From MintKudos/MintGate For Several Years Doing Promoting & Beta Bug Testing As Their Main Testnet & Bug/Feature Tester & Promoter...


The Original Main Features Such As Social Tokens & Airdrops Became Disabled To Make Way For Use Of The Ethereum Network & Cryptocurrency Running A Lazy-Mint On The Rarible Contract (Which They Edited Values, Removed Unlockable Content, MetaData & Took Other Malicious Actions Against All Users In Secret)

This Too Was Only For A Short Time , But After A Few Months Of Work, Testing, Paying For Services, Domains & Minting NFTs On Ethereum...

This Group Again Disabled The Entire Ethereum Network & Switched To Polygon (2nd Layer Ethereum Chain); Forcing Us To Go To 3rd Party Sites To View & Manage At A Hefty Fee + Royalties To Rarible.com. -- (Source)


This Showed Us Something Else Troubling...

Obfuscated phantasmagoric Micro-Sync Royalties:


Caught In The Act


MintGate & Rarible Would Take Between 13-18.7% In Contract Royalty When It Was Set To 4%. -- (Source)


The Fraudulent Nature Of These People Became To Obvious To Ignore.

Amazing!

They Then Locked Us All Out Of Our Personal Domains (We Are Forced To CNAME To Them) Connected To Our Ethereum Mints To Move Over To Polygon With A False Promise To Allow Us Access To The Ethereum Side Or They Would Use The $1,700,000.00 To Cover The Costs. -- (Source)


Lurking Green-Eyed Evasion Technique:

This Never Happened & Instead They Opted To Start Denying Access To Our Own Marketplaces By Deleting Redirects & Accounts.

After All This, I Was Getting Fed Up And Asked In Our Discord Group Key Questions About The State Of The Markets Features & Access. I Was Told That They Removed Everything & Nothing Would Be Done To Fix Or Refund The Loss MintGate Cost It's Users. -- (Source)


Paging Dr. Crypto...Doctor!?:

Next...

To Add Insult To Injury, They Used Our Art To Promote Themselves Until Caught & Called Out (They Deleted The Post). -- (Source)

They Then Went And Had My Account Banned On Discord Claiming Violent Hate Speech & Denied It. But I Only Went On Discord To That Group, So 1+1=Logic.

(I Posted Screenshots Of Interactions, No Hate, Profanity, Violence Or Threats Of Any Kind, Just Posted My Sadness With These People & How They Go Back On Everything They Promise.)

Conclusion:

After Debating On What To Do, It Was Decided To Deny MintGate Access To The Domain & Close It Completely Since All Features Were Rugged By These Scammers.
