Ich bin Spyweb Cyber Security so dankbar. Ich bin so glücklich, einer der wenigen Glücklichen zu sein, die mein gestohlenes Geld zurückbekommen. Ich weiß, dass viele Leute nichts über diese Betrügereien mit Kryptowährungsinvestitionen wissen, aber ich wurde Opfer eines Betrugs mit einer Investitionsplattform. Ich habe insgesamt 349.000 Euro in Bitcoins auf ihrer Investitionsplattform namens Bitflip investiert, sie haben immer mehr Geld verlangt, bis mir klar wurde, dass es ein Betrug war, ich war bei allen und der Bank verschuldet, bis ich einen Artikel über Spyweb gesehen habe, sie sind Experten für die Wiedererlangung gestohlener Bitcoins und Gelder von diesen Betrügern. Ich kontaktierte sofort Spyweb Cyber Security und gab ihnen alle notwendigen Informationen. Sie garantierten mir mein Geld in zwei Tagen zurück und in weniger als 48 Stunden bekam ich mein ganzes Geld zurück. Ich bin so aufgeregt und möchte dies mit allen teilen, die schon einmal betrogen wurden. Sie können sich an das Cybersicherheitsteam von Spyweb wenden.

After itBit, Antony privately consulted to clients mainly in the finance and consulting sectors, writing papers and running workshops to explain this new technology to curious professionals. In 2016 Antony joined R3, a financial industry consortium created to collaboratively explore the benefits of blockchain technology.
