The name of the Itapemirim group will not disappear anytime soon. Since Friday (17), the company has been in the eye of the hurricane after announcing that it would "temporarily" suspend all operations. The effect has been harsh so far.
However, now another agglomeration controversy is emerging. Sydney Piva de Jesus, businessman and owner of the company, is accused by several investors, along with some companies, of not returning almost 400,000 Rls that were invested in CrypTour, a cryptocurrency created by the operator in July this year.

Another complaint from investors is the difficulty in accessing the Extrading platform, which has been taken off the air, making it impossible to recover funds and making it difficult to access information.
The 30 million tokens for sale were worth $ 1 each, and the deal promised 600% for every dollar invested in the token in the first six months, up 3,600% in a year.
Piva denies that the company is owned by Itapemirim. However, the documents indicate that the CrypTour project originated from the internal technological innovation initiative of Itapemirim Airlines.
Since September, investors have complained that it is difficult to check balances or recover amounts invested in the cryptocurrency.
A group was formed on social networks to contribute to communication among those affected by the scheme.
Beva considers himself the victim of the scam, not the perpetrator. However, the videos on the CrypTour channel indicate that 85% of the project is owned by the owner of the Itapemirim group.
