It happened on 23rd Aug 2022 and this matter lasted almost one month without any process. Masterbucks.com declined my fund withdrawal and disabled the button of fund withdrawal. And I contacted Epik.com and got no further action even if Rob Monster got involved in it for two weeks. All the time I was told in email by management review.

What is wrong with Epik.com? Do you think it is normal to disable fund withdrawal? How can I get back my fund from Epik.com? Thanks for your suggestion.

So, my challenge continues with Brian Royce at Epik, with trying to get paid for my sale of Candida.com which occurred on September 27th, 2022. I sold the domain for $100,000, and was told I would pay Epik a 9% commission, and funds were supposed to be a direct deposit to my bank account. I have still not received a penny. (I owned the domain for personal reasons, as I suffered from the condition for nearly 8 years, and went flat broke due to medical bills. I bought it to help others with the condition. Selling this domain was my one hope for financial recovery so that I could retire one day).

I am attaching the letter that Brian Royce sent to me on December 5th, 2022, after I spent over 2 months chasing him and others at Epik to get my funds. After I posted my youtube video on December 3, 2022 (
), Brian sent me the letter below. He also sent me numerous texts in December, leading me to believe I may be paid by the end of December. It didn't happen. Over the past 2 weeks, he has led me to believe he will get me paid, and last week asked me if I would settle for $50K, or take a payment plan. I declined on settling. I am not interested in settling for $50K. The estibot value on the domain is $173K and I sold it for $100K. He then said that he would wire funds to me me $50K by Friday 1-20-23, or today, Monday, 1-23-23, and pay the balance to me by the end of February 2023.

I sent the below letter to him this morning, as I am skeptical that I am going to get paid this week, and I am preparing for next steps. My attorney had advised me to give them until the end of January to make payment, so I gave them this time, only to be disappointed over and over again, misled, lied to, and stalled. I am not a domain broker nor am I in the domain business. I was just a regular customer who owned one good domain, and this is how Brian Royce at Epik is treating me.

Also, at this point I think it is reasonable to expect $100K in payment, not $91K.

Epik did absolutely nothing to earn their commission.

They have not paid you in months and keep screwing you around.

They have forfeited their right to a commission for this "sale".

Also, while Rob obviously is to blame for much of this debacle, @Kathleen Kalaf transaction happened after Rob left as CEO.

Brian has no one else to blame for this transaction.

Brad
Yep, I can hear Monster now, but your honor I was forced out of the company by these meanies. I don't know what they were doing but didn't approve of the way they were doing things but I couldn't stop them.

Royce's only rebuttal will be, but your honor, it was all his idea.

If you lay down with pigs, you’re going to get dirty.

It's like they feel guilty and want to get punished at this point.
I feared before that you have too much faith in the self-knowledge of these people.

Fact is, they're now offering University Classes to teach other entrepreneurs how to play this game.

Exactly, they should feel fortunate to not get charged interest on money/asset they held.

Is there no honor among grifters?

Interestingly, all these Masterwallets were originally invented to create a pyramid and steal money?

Of all the brands in the Epik ecosystem, the majority of domain names are now for sale. They are not even trying to sell the business and goodwill, just the domain names. Very clever.

Another one for sale: CloudChase.com ("Bunker Hosted resilient servers that will guarantee resource exclusivity").

Another one for sale: CustomerSupport.co ("Cost-effective and versatile solution for online chat support with integrated ticketing system").

Another one for sale: DNEncrypt.com ("DNEncrypt leverages the market-leading hosting and domain services of Epik and the SSL expertise of Sectigo to provide you with the best possible website security services.").

Another one for sale: DNProtect.com ("The Internet's leading risk management service for internet domain names.").

Another one for sale: eRise.org ("eRise Innovative Partnerships for Digital Empowerment – is a non-profit organization that has been established to Digitally Empower communities with little or no internet connectivity").

Another one for sale: FullVenue.com ("FullVenue.com is an online event booking platform with features for running events of any size").

Another one for sale: LiteReader.com ("LiteReader allows you to transform a PDF and a domain into an interactive, hosted flipbook").

Another one for sale: NameBrokers.com ("NameBrokers.com finds, acquires, and places high value digital assets for complete market domination. NameBrokers is backed by Epik.com").

Another one for sale: NameInvestors.com ("NameInvestors, The World's first powerful All In One Widget Toolbox for domainers, absolutely free.").

Another one for sale: PetitionBook.com ("Making petitions fair, reliable and free is our goal").

Another one for sale: WatchMask.com ("A tool for watching online videos without being tracked, and part of the Anonymize.com family of privacy products").

Another one for sale: Websites.org ("A free online service to download optimized versions of entire websites for fast and private offline viewing").

Another one for sale: WhoQ.com ("WhoQ.com is a GDPR-compliant solution for WHOIS records that works for conventional and blockchain domains which leaves registrants in control of their public data").

It should come as no surprise that Epik's portfolio has a particularly large overlap with Kingdom Ventures' portfolio. Unfortunately, most of the assets mentioned have no value whatsoever, except perhaps for some of the domain names that are currently for sale.

The ultimate commingling of assets between Epik, Rob, Kingdom Ventures, and who knows what else.

Look, even DNProtect.com made the list.

The "market size" is pretty funny as it is completely irrelevant to these projects.
How many of these are even original projects vs. just white label brands?

A bunch of these domains are for sale at the moment, by Epik. It seems clear they are not owned by Kingdom Ventures.

Also, I see Intelliname there. Isn't that Rob Davis?

I can tell you that DNProtect was never ever involved with Kingdom Ventures. It should never have been included there.

I noticed on the bottom of the page it shows -

"© 2023 All Rights Reserved | 2022 Kingdom Companies, LLC"

I can see that company is registered in Wyoming, because it is using the same principal address as Epik Holdings Inc., in Washington.

Let's take a look at the current status of Kingdom Companies LLC -

Inactive - Administratively Dissolved (Tax)

Standing - Tax
Delinquent

Standing - RA
Delinquent


All this business information is publicly available on the Wyoming SOS website.

Look at that, we also see "Lifeverse" listed. Epik supposedly sold Lifeverse.com for $1M, according to this article.

https://www.criticalhit.net/technol...count-before-selling-lifeverse-for-1-million/

EXCLUSIVE – Epik Had $128k in Their Bank Account Before Selling “Lifeverse” for $1 Million – But The Lifeverse Website Has No Organic Traffic & Didn’t Exist This Time Last Year….​

Isn't it very interesting that Epik supposedly sold that domain for $1M, when the name is listed on Kingdom Ventures.

Clearly no funny business went on there. :xf.rolleyes:

Page 2 of this PDF states that the information is highly confidential, but the document is prominently linked on the KV website. Furthermore, it would be "not a solicitation for investment", while that is contradicted in the wording on pages 14 and 16.
It's highly confidential, meanwhile there is a prominent download link on the website. :ROFL:
At that point it just becomes public information.

Page 2 -

"This is not a solicitation for investment."

Page 14 -

"Kingdom Ventures Fund seeks investments across the Kingdom ecosystem that deliver both Kingdom impact and sustainable financial return. We seek investments both from within the KV Studio portfolio and the broader Kingdom entrepreneurship ecosystem."

It is probably as confidential as sharing a portfolio of domains by any other domainer.

Does KV have a profile on DAN.com already?
