Post series: Technical Reviews
As previously announced I will start a post series with a technical review/analysis of the different platforms. You will be able to find them at the Technical Reviews page.
This is the list of the areas I will look into:
- Bad Press: do other bloggers write negatively about the platform?
- Owners/Team public: are the owners or the people working at a platform discoverable?
- Company records: does the company have publicly available records in a business register or similar?
- Technological Analysis
- Webhoster: Is the page hosted on a known cloud or by some other company?
- DNS Records: Are the DNS records public and pointing to the same registered address?
- Available in origin country: Is the platform available for local investors?
- Verdict: Given the information I found, is the platform likely to be a fraud/scam?

After creating my P2P portfolio with 30k EUR in the beginning of January, it’s time to document the second round.
This time around I invested 29.7k EUR (or 31.7k CHF thanks to the free conversion fees from Revolut) in 11 platforms which I personally think have a higher chance of being legit. After loosing 2 000 EUR with the sudden disappearance of Envestio I selected the platforms a bit more carefully.

So it looks like the collapse of Kuetzal triggered some kind of Bank run. The Envestio website is currently not reachable. After some very unprofessional Twitter duelling with a apparent industry insider RPeerDuck (Twitter profile deleted now due to death threats). Are my 2’006 € from Envestio gone then? Very likely. I have yet to filed a Police report with the Estonian Police.
The last message posted on Tuesday the 21st of January 2020 from Envestio :

Kuetzal is effectively shutting down operations. Since I signed up for Kuetzal but didn’t end up investing in the platform I get email updates from them. This is the email I got today:

The plan was set in stone in December. To invest 30k 28k EUR in different P2P Lending platforms at the beginning of January.
But let’s rewind to the week of Christmas. I proactively started signing up with the 15 different P2P lending/investing platforms on Monday 23rd of December and continued on Tuesday 24th of December.

I discovered Revolut in September 2017, the promises sounded great. A free credit card without account/card fees and inter-banking exchange rates on foreign money usage. All transactions are showing up right after card use in the mobile phone app.
