COIN SCAM ALERT -- Beware of Monkey Capital and Its Head Monkey Daniel Harrison!
Last month, a new deal seemingly came out of nowhere, into the crypto space - MONKEY CAPITAL - a new kind of innovative deal brought to you by a Mr Daniel Harrison with some of his Monkey Capital crew (which has had high turnover in the following weeks).
Daniel presented this Monkey Capital deal and its familia of coins (COE MNY ZUR ) to us with such confidence, big deals, promoting a Monkey Capital ICO with pre-invested millions and anticipation of much more. But in the weeks to follow, Monkey Capital and mostly Daniel produced only hype and lots of hot air using catchy phrases suckering buyers into a cultist like frenzy!
There was NO August 8 $MNY ICO, but a dumping of MNY coins into the market instead!
What the heck happened??
There are millions and billions of dollars of "easy money" being made in crypto space and it attracts some undesirable characters. I now believe that Daniel Harrison and his Monkey-team to be among them and their destiny is more likely to be one of a COiN artists who has taken millions from hundreds of people already, who knows how many more will fall for the dreams they sell, pumping stories that CONSTANTLY change with no transparency or success, and a history of connections that prove further that they are up to no good.
(MONKEY or $MNY started trading about a week before the August 8 ICO (which was cancelled) date.
1-BILLION MNY coins and they were sold into the market at desperate prices. The ONLY ones who had the MNY coins were its creator, DANIEL HARRISON and his monkey "team" who created $MNY from nothing! Like printing money!
So NO ICO, 600M and 200M MNY token transfers from Daniel's / Moneky Capital account wallet into another wallet, dumped on the market (they didnt want control of their MNY??) as you can see above, then the profits from the BTC's moved to another wallet. That wallet took the BTC's and transferred them out from what I can tell and info. provided.)
I have confronted Daniel publicly on social media (their monkey.capital site and his personal website offline for many days now w/ the countdown clock to ICO date going into negative territory -- 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable) and he will never address the real questions like:
-- Who dumped Monkey coins MNY - crashing its price in a selling frenzy? (no public or official updates from them since pre ICO mega pump up the volume on market then -- TOTAL SILENCE except to some private chat updates some other monkeys get to see)
--- and why does the public wallet data show that they moved from your account to another which sold the MNY and got BTCs, then moved those BTC's to another wallet which then moved them out of the Waves platform.
...you know, some REAL questions after they went SILENT and suspiciously sites offline (or forwarded)
No updates just the only information coming from the MNY market activity which is pretty clear what that means.
But Mr. Daniel Harrison just turns nasty, DEFLECTS and no answer given. He goes on attacks on character, which is why I have reacted this intensely back towards him!
(He really wanted GoldSeek to work with him on building this revolution in crypto but once we discovered Daniel's lies come about, we withdrew support and started to ask real questions.
Daniel's first response was to suggest a $5,000 to $10,000 payment to market them on our websites. We refused and continued to be very public about what he was doing, why he was not buying $2 million of his own product that he said he would but selling it all onto others who were told by him to BUY!)
But why DANIEL HARRISON will not just answer the BASIC questions.. the MOST IMPORTANT ONE(s)!
-- Why did you / your team dump $MNY and cancel the ICO?
Because the truth is not to be TRANSPARENT!!
Well here is some transparency (if you spend more time you could extract a lot more useful MNY-> BTC data):
MNY goes out of this wallet:
http://www.wavesgo.com/account.html?3P5yhciJb6DBax4JirviviKWRUsbU4zjL2s
600,000,000 MNY transferred on August 3 (August 8 was supposed to be MNY ICO date):
http://www.wavesgo.com/transactions.html?6B5thEuAch8n6WrL4Wd9wSDQGR8mef6CVCkuaGRKNros
200,000,000 MNY moved to another wallet:
http://www.wavesgo.com/transactions.html?HnufTqeQ8RNnKttw4RkqUvSXi1vjyKSd38YbQSBNoTsz
This wallet sells for $BTCs
http://www.wavesgo.com/account.html?3PCNsdieiXiLbgVAz5WbKm7UUgb3w8DMrA4
moves them into another wallet -- here is 40 Bitcoins being moved as an example:
http://www.wavesgo.com/transactions.html?GhQKRMnVmwHWaJS81f7gjCG7dCxvvT2uURmy3xHSKTDN
This account moves the BTC's out of Waves to where?? (no transparency so no idea)

If you look into his social media side, he has many people who support him. If you look at these accounts, they are new, no history and most likely Daniel or some of his COiN-ster buddies creating social media noise. It is very easy to find this out, but he banks on most people are too lazy to actually dig into deals, past the dreams.
Now this is where I get suspicious, after removing his EDITOR IN CHIEF title at Coin Speaker, he was not that and the Coin Speaker site said all he had as a log-in, he is now an "INDEPENDENT Contributor". He says he was a "self appointed editor in chief"
Why did he make up this title, who claims to be something that they are not? Trying to build CONfidence or just a lousy resume trying to find new people who would buy into your dreams? Certainly a red flag:
"Disclosure: Daniel M. Harrison is not Coinspeaker editor-in-chief. He has access to the site only as guest post author. Coinspeaker has never had common projects with Mr Harrison and never received any revenue from him." -- OUCH!
https://www.coinspeaker.com/2017/08/10/update-waves-comment-on-monkey-capital-ico-situation/
In the comments, Daniel JOKES about this and actually replies with no apology but instead a joke, that indeed he is NOT the EDITOR In Chief but he remarks:
"In name only more recently, but that was a sort of self-appointed thing :)"
But he has been using it and other titles that appear on his LinkedIn account (along with other titles that misrepresent the truth of what he has been REALLY doing over the past years) to other deceitful lies about his successes? I believe he is OVER-representing himself to convince others.
I starting to follow the COE/MNY more as their aggressive hype that they are doing something new and big here, might be a great opportunity to invest in someone with big visions and touting his knowledge and history of deals and titles. But it took only a little time on google searching to find many yellow and some red flags!
Here are some public comments I made about Daniel, his replies -- he has now blocked me and still will not address the questions raised.
"So Monkey coins were dumped at 10's of millions, even 100M at a time on the market at the best bids. It was a fire sale of hundreds of millions. Big red flag. Daniel hires programmer associated to One Coin scam. Red flag. Hopefully horrible amateur mistake right. Daniel calls himself editor in chief at coinspeaker dot com but is only someone with a log-in to post, according to the site's owner. His linkedin still shows editor in chief. Just b/c you say it doesnt make it true Daniel. And that is where your integrity comes more into question. (on the article Daniel Harrison explains he is self appointed in name only by himself as editor in chief... what does that mean?). Today it says Independent Author. Okay. That is odd?
There is not a huge amount of history of yours or success we can find out there, specifically in building a "decentralized hedge fund". Your twitter has limited history too. Just a lot of quotes from some years ago. I found limited amount that gives me confidence, but I dont have time to or interest to prove something you need to!
Give us some facts, some real concrete evidence of deals, of progress and then we can start to build some real trust. Otherwise I think this is a joke. Prove otherwise Daniel. I wanted to believe for the few days I was sold some pipe dreams of yours -- excellent at marketing and hyping people up, but it didn't take long to lose my faith as things transpired with MNY. Right now, at best, this is amateur hour.
...........
Then on his twitter account, which has no real history except years of (auto?) posted quotes with very few interactions despite a MASSIVE 38.4K following (oh shoot, did I mention that almost all of those are FAKE twitter accounts)
I replied back to another marketing promotional lie Daniel Harrison posted to lure more people into his scheme:
He will likely delete this tweet but I took a screenshot
https://twitter.com/dmhco/status/895986186472177664
You can go to the waves wallet tracker and see how they moved MNY around, dumped it on the market, pre-ico, moves the BTC's around then transfer them out of the platform. So the August 8 ICO never happened, instead they list the MNY coin early, dump hundreds of millions of coins of the 1B coins, AT THE BEST BID, raise no $$ from funds or whatever lies he was selling in the weeks before, and now the BTC's are in an account controlled or owned by Daniel Harrison and / or his monkey teammates!
The question now is, will these coin pump and dumps end or will Daniel change his ways and start being honest with what is happening, transparent and take these newly found millions for something good?
No. Daniel is now doing a new marketing SCHEME. he instead going bananas andis ready to GIVE AWAY MONEY to You!! Yes.. FREE BTC's!!
ONLY CAVEAT. You, the sucker COE holder, need to keep your COE until September 9th and you might get 0.01 btc or .015btcs. Amazing deal except how the heck do you pay out a few million when you NEVER raised the tens of millions for your bs "decentralized hedge fund"?! (** UPDATE: FREE BTC PROMO DEAL IS CANCELLED **)
Meanwhile, NEW Daniel Harrison coins and new promotions are underway! Always something new to distract and get excited about:
Now let's get back to Daniel's associations, but first there is this piece about his "background"
-- Meet Daniel Harrison, the man behind magic money machine Monkey Capital…
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Gh9edp9yZ0AJ:https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2017/07/21/2191727/meet-daniel-harrison-the-man-behind-magic-money-machine-monkey-capital/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=cz
If you go to 2015, you can find Daniel interviewing the ONE COIN (scam: http://kusetukset.blogspot.cz/2017/05/onecoin-white-paper.html) .. Marcelo Garcia Casil. He was also part of the monkey team until people noticed and then he "disappeared"
Harrison, who can talk for hours without saying anything useful -- "While intelligent people can often simplify the complex, a fool is more likely to complicate the simple" -- but still throwing out key market terms and things that make him seem so intelligent that you must give him your money, continues to convince people that despite being deceitful, he will make them millionaires. Space x supply contracts. Decentralized hedge fund, synthetic ....
Daniel is not stupid though. He is actually quite intelligent using his skills towards getting people to listen for a long time to his thoughts, ideas and all this excitement and key terms and HYPE!
So I have believe Daniel to be deceitful and intentionally lying about ICO deals, plans and have to believe that this could really turn out to be a coin scam.
But do not discount this likely from being the end of the pumping!
He will do more coins or more promotions on COEVAL and now his new ZUR coins and there was another hybrid synthetic.. and more people are likely to follow his hype around stuck in the fantasies he sells to them. The make millions dream!
His character is at best very poor considering how many people were on the receiving end of the coin dump, from what I have experienced in the past weeks and it is a shame I had to encounter the monkey crew, the crypto space having to be distracted from people looking to enrich themselves while not actually doing anything useful.
I really hope Daniel will get a moral conscious and start to behave in a respectable way, but for now, his history and associations are filled with yellow & red flags.
If you want to keep up-to-date, there is a good twitter account helping to counteract Harrison's hot air:
https://twitter.com/Silvercryptocat
Also an update from Blockchain WTF:
THE MORAL OF THE STORY and one that I have learned since investing since a young teenager in the early 1990's until today, INVEST IN PEOPLE!!!
**** IT COMES DOWN TO THE PEOPLE **** !!!
My advice is to STAY AWAY or you have a very high chance to never see your Monkey-money again!
**** UPDATE ****
I have edited this article a bit to make this less personal and focus on the MONKEY MONEY. I have not followed the ZUR coin pump and dump but others have provided this:
Thanks for the info
its amazing what can be found out when we dig for information
I wonder if this venomous article is a way to appease your audience who were told about the monkey capital project and subsequently invested? The interviewer expressed genuine awe at what was being proposed and his enthusiasm was hard to ignore.
Have you tried asking Harrison with an attitude of genuine curiosity, instead of coming at him on the attack?
I invested in MC at a high price and subsequently went through a roller coaster of emotions . It was my first ICO and the goldseek interview was a huge factor in my decision to invest.
Am I disappointed at the way it's panned out? Sure. I was a very vocal critic until I joined the MC slack group and saw that Harrison isn't running into the hills with bags of btc...
Take these facts into consideration:
A $500k domain investment.
The purchase of an existing and stable block chain platform to host all monkey capital assets. (ZUR)
Appointment of a media manager.
Daily updates to investors in the slack group.
White paper updates.
A coding project to create a platform to interface with the new MC blockchain. No expense was spared to find someone with proven results (pipdroid trading app) and they're working round the clock to get the platform up and running.
And there's more..
Why would a scammer do any of this?
Chris, I urge you to call a truce and spend some time getting to know the guy that you are insulting in this article. Maybe even another interview?
You might be surprised at what you find out re: the work going on behind the scenes.
"Venomous articles" are the perfect response to venomous ICO's like MC's. Totally appropriate response to an unfunny joke such as Monkey Capital.
Hello Daniel Harrison and/or Monkey Capital. Nice new account, welcome to Steemit! you are creating lots of accounts, sorry for all the extra work!
Nice new promo material for the next pump. Still not interested.
hahaha hows all these fake fucking accounts. all clearly monkey capital. so much effort involved
They are mostly DANIEL HARRISON. He is fuming upset because he does not want the attention as he is working on a NEW COIN!
Threatens the amount of new people he can scam.
Spread the word
i have been man. i hate this guy so much
Nope, real person and supporter of MC and so is Pilot and countless others. Here's my fb: facebook.com/peteyballs
This shows the type of person you are, immediate bias while doing a google search to try to find all the FUD posts compiled into one.
Go bury yourself in the sand, you and your company are traitors to your own audience.
Not sure if theres a point talking to him, he did deleted some tweets already, badmouthing monkey capital.
I do not understand idiots who buy HIGH, and then cry when it drops.
not sure who you are speaking of, I did NOT delete ANY tweets. probably referring to DH? he is deleting a lot of stuff, changing his background and resume and blocking and hiding his sites and taking them offline and on and on and on
Keeping drinking the kool-aid! You make a great cult follower.
And Petey, when you have something useful to share, please come back and answer what happened with MNY ICO, why did it start a week before and why is there evidence of them dumping their hundreds of millions of coins onto the market?
I ask simple questions. I get attacked. That is the expose I am giving. I'd love to make a positive post but Harrison only gives out lies and new stories to his groupies.. he preys on the weak and hopeful. Not the ones who look beyond the hopium he sells to them.
I don't understand why people invest in unknown coins ☺

STOPThank you for letting us know of that con artist. We work so hard for our money and don't need to lose it to some greedy pig :)
First, I want to say I am and have been a loyal listener of goldseekradio.com for as long as I can remember. I once gave $250 to the show to keep it on the air, and became a subscriber to the services a month ago mainly for the ICO etc. advice. Chris really backed Monkey Capital so I jumped in too. So I am surprised to come here and see this from you, and Chris backing off on Saturday's broadcast. I thought I did my due diligence by buying into the subscription of yours, believing you do the due diligence as why I pay for the sub.
Peter, I'm really impressed with all of the links, so I am doing my due diligence off of your article here. It's like the bad stuff that you found too late? I did what you said, google his name ("who is daniel mark harrison") and look at what comes up on first page. When I saw some stuff, I am just matching up representations, but here goes (so far only):
"There is no history of any verifiable successes of yours, your twitter has limited history too. Just a lot of quotes from some years ago. If you were an editor in chief, where is all your public info.. all your work? I found limited amount but I dont have time to or interest to prove something you need to. Share with us all you history.. not much out there wouldnt you say? What about Motley Fool.. and elsewhere, where is all of your public info? Your personal website is offline so not sure what is going on there and all I hear now is there is another coin."
I'm not going to stick my neck out too far yet, but so far I find that Mr. Harrison has written a book, maybe a trilogy, and I am not an avid book reader so I can't go any further, but it sounds interesting and is sold on Amazon.com. Even has (mixed) reviews by readers, and professional reviews there. I also found his articles for Street.com in 2008, many many, I gave up after a few pages. He is listed on Forbes.com as a "Contributor" with a short bio. The "Wayback" internet archive link you have in the article above is empty, so I could not research that. It has his twitter and linked in and facebook, but so far, the only bad thing is a "ripoff report" I read a couple days ago and looked up some of the facts there, which in my opinion exonerated him, but maybe I missed some things. (I could not find a binding contract or proof of a bankruptcy, for example, and I have legal skills, I really debunked someone on this on Waves complaint independently because I was offended by the misreps as he did not care to read the content like I did.)
There was a website too, https://www.monkey.capital/, but maybe it was not there when you looked. This is the first time for me seeing it.
I'm intimidated from saying anything hopeful or positive from my due diligence so far right now given your vitriolic responses I read above and name calling or accusations of others (ad hominem attacks, why do this instead of just dispassionately presenting actual facts or opinions supported by facts), but I will try to follow the crypto crumbs of the wallet movements you posted, and that is something I don't really fully understand. It will be a good learning experience. It will open my mind up a little, we all have biases.
I have 100 of your "cryptogoldseek" and "cryptosilverseek" (I paid $100 I think for its ICO) held in my Waves wallet I opened (and Chris sent me 9 waves to start), and according to Waves, your tokens are unverified just as the MNY and COE I bought (it sounds like not as high a price as you paid luckily).
So with little but growing rapidly knowledge so far on these things, but knowing how COE/MNY were created out of thin air at Waves and lost that authentic green "verified token" checkmark recently, I'm a little bit concerned that your tokens must have also been similarly created and not being verified authentic either. Now I have to ask, on behalf of your paid subscribers, whether we need to be concerned. Does it not trade or have any place to redeem, and for what value? I don't intend to trade it if it has future (gold and silver-backed) value anyway, just asking since your article here has really opened my eyes to what your broadcast got me into and, it seems, anyone can create a token like the Fed creates $USD and ICO-sell it on Waves (I used Paypal to buy yours so it was just cash). It's really remarkable. I'll try to complete my due diligence soon.
You need to ask this question to Chris of the radio show. I am sure that he has whatever you paid for as I have known him over a decade and to be an honest hard working individual unlike Daniel Harrison.
Personally, I have absolutely not involvement or goldseek has no official coins or involvement in this. Chris wanted to promote a great crypto idea with silver but we are not participating in developing it further at this time.
Please speak with Chris and he will certainly be able to answer these questions. If you do not get the responses you need, I will get them for you.
A normal argument in backing MC is this "They are doing so much work behind the scenes, and building the MC future."
.
.
.
How do you really know that is true?
.
.
Those are just words on a Slack Messenger screen. Dan and Josh could be playing everyone like a fiddle. All we have to go by is the facts that the ICO's crashed horribly. Dan tells you to buy MNY, it crashes. Dan tells you to buy COE, it crashes. Dan tells you to buy ZUR, it crashes. Do you see the pattern?
.
.
.
"transfer this." "Stay in waves." "Move COE to cryptopia." "We're moving to Bittrex."
.
"Dont use waves." "You can use Waves if you need to." "stop buying." "start buying."
.
.
The people 'behind the scenes' seem like this is their first attempt at being a business. Like little experience-less children that are trying to scramble to build a tree house only for the tree house to collapse on them later. Up to this point many things have just been talk with no real product.
.
.
There is talk on the cyber net of one of Dan's friends who is setting up a stock brokerage like 'call center' in Bangkok that will be based on getting investors to invest in Monkey Capital's ICO's. Really? Is that really happening? Or is that just "drunken Slack talk?"
.
.

Daniel M Harrison..... look i don't ever use the word "Hate" but i think i hate that dude so much. absolute weasel!
For someone to go out of their way to try and upset peoples lives is so fucked up.
I hope you read this you piece of shit! you are one the most hated people on the internet you low life dog. I hope that one day, whatever country your in someone kicks the shit out of you, actually... i hope the whole country kicks the shit out of you and then spits on you.
