Message to all Arbitrade/Cryptobontix Token Holders
Arbitrade, June 22, 2019 – Good day to all Arbitrade/Cryptobontix token holders.
We know it has been a long wait for any news, and we wanted to provide a brief update for everyone today related to Cryptobontix and its tokens.
Arbitrade Ltd. never closed on the purchase of Cryptobontix, as set in the original agreement, due to timing issues and regulatory approvals. Troy Hogg has been diligently working to close the sale of Cryptobontix Inc. to Sion Trading FZE. There have been many moving parts with many parties involved, which has delayed the negotiations. SION Trading FZE’s owners and Troy have now separated themselves from everyone else to finish the final details necessary for closing the sale of the company.
The board of directors, employees, and partners of Arbitrade Ltd no longer have any involvement in this negotiation nor operations of Cryptobontix Inc., its tokens, or the mining operations.
Following the completion of the sale of Cryptobontix to Sion Trading FZE, it is understood that Sion Trading FZE will then move the company to another cryptocurrency friendly country where they can move ahead with the plans and operations on the following tokens.
Dignity (DIG)
Namaste (NAM)
Orectic (ORE)
Honor (HNR)
The original agreement for the gold shall be transferred to Cryptobontix as SION Trading FZE moves to take over control and proceed with conducting business. Cryptobontix, under the new ownership, will continue procurement of gold, precious metals and further developments of its crypto-mining program, as set forth when the project began.
Both parties have agreed to use Canadian based law firms to complete the transaction, and all parties are committed to the completion of the sale as quickly as feasibly possible.
Despite there being several individuals posting claims online regarding the status and details of the sale, none of the claims being made are factual and are merely based on speculation and conjecture.
In a deal of this magnitude, there are many actions/tasks that both SION Trading FZE and Troy must accomplish in order to complete the transaction and both parties have been working together to accomplish this as quickly as possible. In fact, Sion completed the first task today, and Troy has sent the first installment of tokens to Sion. As each additional task is completed, a small transfer of assets will occur until the deal is completed.
All profitable mining rigs have been sent to CoinMint, and all previous mining facilities have been terminated due to lack of service, high fees, or closing of those facilities. All the S9’s have been successfully deployed and are actively earning. The AMD 12 card rigs will be deployed as soon as the new power supplies arrive from China, which is expected any day now…
Please stay tuned for more information soon.
Sincerely,
Cryptobontix Inc.

Arbitrade Completes the Purchase of the First of the Mandela Golden Hands Artifacts
A solid gold cast of Nelson Mandela’s iconic raised fist sold for $2 million
NEW YORK, May 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mr. Leonard Schutzman, Chairman and Chief Executive of Arbitrade, a leading coin and cryptocurrency exchange, said today the company had purchased the first item of the Nelson Mandela Golden Hands Collection. It was, he said, a solid gold cast of Mandela’s fist made during his lifetime by the Harmony Gold company at his home in Johannesburg in 1964.
Arbitrade had made the purchase in accordance with the contract drawn up with the seller, Mr. Malcolm Duncan, a South African businessman in March 2018, whereby the company had agreed to buy the iconic collection that includes 3 life size impressions of Mandela’s hand and 2 others of his palm and the fist. The contract calls for Arbitrade to buy one item of the collection at quarterly intervals throughout the course of this year. Each of the three remaining will cost $2.5 million.
Mr. Schutzman said, the company was pleased to have agreed to purchase the collection and was especially pleased to have acquired the 1964 cast of Mandela’s fist.
It’s interesting to note that when it came to casting the fist, Mandela insisted on placing his thumb next to his fingers as opposed to in front. He deemed it a less aggressive representation of his victory of apartheid. It was typical of the man.
Mr. Schutzman went on to say that apart from it being an expression of the company’s deep admiration for Mandela in this, the 100th anniversary year of his birth, it was also an expression of the company’s attachment to gold and all that South Africa has done through the years in supporting the gold industry. We intend to acquire significant amounts of gold in the coming months in order to back the coins that Arbitrade will be producing. In acquiring the collection, we feel we had made an exceptional investment and that it is singularly appropriate that we should mark our company’s interest and our intentions through the acquisition of this iconic collection.
Mr. Schutzman said Arbitrade intends to show the fist in the coming weeks and even before taking possession of the entire collection, had pledged, with Mr. Duncan’s support, to exhibit the artifacts in various overseas capitals. We want as many people as possible to see the collection and to recall Mandela and his life and times
, he said.
Mr. Schutzman said, it was Harmony’s intention to make a full set of artifacts including the fist, to mark each of the 27 years Mandela has spent behind bars. Our set is dedicated to 1964 and 1990, marking the year Mandela was first incarcerated on Robben Island and the year he walked through the prison gates a free man.
He confirmed the complete set and the fist had been authenticated by Harmony Gold and is in the possession of Arbitrade together with several photographs of Mandela making the cast at his home in Johannesburg. He said these artifacts are believed to be part of an only surviving set. All others having been destroyed by order of Nelson Mandela.
Arbitrade announced three new board members, May 2018, including a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Senior Vice President of Technology, and President of ArbiPay, a subsidiary of Arbitrade
UK, May 10, 2018 Crypto Buyers Club — Leonard Schutzman made the announcement via a Press Release at Globe Newswire. All three have a wealth of experience at leading consultancy, financial, and IT firms…
Arbitrade’s New Directors, their Profiles:
Brent M. Longnecker
Appointed as Chairman of the Compensation Committee
Longnecker has over 30 years of experience in consultancy, working with both public and private-sector organisations. His executive management consultancy, Longnecker, is well-reputed both domestically and internationally. His successes are evidenced in the fact that he was selected by Consulting Magazine in 2005 as one of the Top 25 Consultants in the US. Longnecker also serves on the board of the NACD
Bob DeRodes
DeRodes boasts 46 years of IT experience with multi-national corporations and industry leaders such as:
- Target : Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Information Officer (CIO)
- The Home Depot : EVP and CIO
- Delta Airlines : CEO Delta Technology
- Citibank : CTO Global Cards

Analysis of the 3 New Board Appointees – Arbitrade
This is a very impressive board indeed. Longnecker’s consultancy acumen will be invaluable in the negotiations such an ambitious operation such as Arbitrade will find themselves engaging in. DeRodes’ IT and Financial experience, especially his specific work at Citibank Global Cards, puts Arbitrade in an excellent position regarding its promised debit cards offerings.

Mandela Golden Hands Collection Sells for $10 Million USD at PDAC 2018 Conference
NEW YORK, March 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Board of Arbitrade, a new coin and cryptotoken currency exchange, has announced it will purchase the Nelson Mandela Golden Hands Collection. Made from 20 lbs, 99.999 of pure gold, it includes 3 life size impressions of Mandela’s hands and two others of his palm and fist. It was cast in 2002 by South Africa’s Harmony Gold mining group, one of the world’s leading gold producers, 12 years after Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
The seller, Malcolm Duncan, a South African businessman now living in Calgary, Canada, knew Mandela. He said that Harmony’s intention was to make one full set of gold artefacts consisting of a fist, a full hand and a palm impression of his right hand for each of the 27 years Mandela had spent behind bars. Duncan had purchased the sets dedicated to 1964 and 1990, marking the year Mandela was incarcerated and the year he walked out of the Pollsmoore prison gates a free man.
The set has been authenticated by Harmony Gold and is believed to be the only surviving set. The others, having been destroyed by order of Nelson Mandela.
An agreement was struck by Mr. Duncan and representatives of Arbitrade at the PDAC 2018 Conference, held in Toronto on March 4 – 8, 2018. It was the first time the collection had been on display to the general public anywhere in the world since the Letter of Authenticity had been received from Harmony Gold and we felt it was singularly appropriate that we should have met to purchase the collection at the famed PDAC Conference, one of the largest gold and metals events in the world
, said Arbitrade’s Chairman, Len Schutzman.
“The collection celebrates not only the remarkable contributions of Nelson Mandela to humanity each year, but also all that has been done by South Africa in supporting gold and the mining industry though the years. Moreover, our timing in buying the collection is especially significant since we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Mandela’s birth in this unique way for the first time in North America,” said Mr Schutzman, who noted that the purchase of the Mandela collection will be paid for with Bitcoins.
It is our honor and privilege to celebrate the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela. As President Obama shared in one of his tributes to this great man – Mandela is a man who took history in his hands and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. In the global tour we shall be making with the collection, we will be celebrating his life, which has been a gift and a shining light for us all to remember and to follow for ages to come
.
“Arbitrade’s management felt that these extraordinary artefacts served as a great representation for our company and that our announcement of this wonderful purchase will be the first of a series of announcements we shall be making in regard to gold that will back our cryptotoken currency, Dignity (DIG) which trades on Livecoin.net,” Mr. Schutzman said. “The company plans on orchestrating a global tour exhibiting the Golden Hands in National Museums around the world to celebrate the life and legacy of a man that meant so much to so many.”
In responding to Mr. Schutzman, it was said by Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources, Mr. GG Oliphant, MP, The display and exhibition of the Mandela Golden Hands at the PDAC 2018 Conference was an appropriate moment to reflect the roots, strength and resilience of the South African mining industry. Nelson Mandela was a mineworker at some stage in his long walk to freedom, and was also later elected as the Honorary Life President of the National Union of Mineworkers in South Africa. It is therefore, within this context that, in his honour, we pay tribute to all mineworkers and ex-mineworkers around the globe who have sacrificed so much to produce gold and other mineral commodities over the years. It is therefore befitting that in this year, as we celebrate the centenary of Mandela’s birth, that we could display his actual handprints in gold as an embodiment of lasting peace and prosperity for our country. Our congratulations to Arbitrade in keeping Mandela’s legacy alive
.
Mr. Nyameko Goso, South Africa’s Consul General in Toronto added, We thank Arbitrade for helping us celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 100th Anniversary in this very special way and keeping alive his great legacy. At the same time, the purchase of this remarkable collection made of South African gold, is also a tribute to South Africa’s gold mining industry who have contributed so much to the gold market and mining over the many years
.
Mr. Schutzman said Arbitrade will be inviting one person from each of the countries where they will be exhibiting the collection to join with them in celebrations at the museum, “I urge everyone to be looking out for our special release next week and to click on to our web page and provide their details. We hope that a great many people want to join us and come see for themselves the powerful and inspiring collection.”
Google takes stance on Crypto-currency a great perk for Arbitrade
Arbitrade to benefit and gain big advantage from Google ban of crypto-currency advertising on Google’s very own platform. The Google restrictions will help weed out the false, exploitive, risky and scrupulous crypto systems and managers. A safe and secure approach that the public at large will discover about Arbitrade will enhance the popularity of the Arbitrade Token Ingots and products. The timing for this approach by Google couldn’t be better and bodes well for Arbitrade Exchange Inc. and its plans.
Google bans crypto-currency adverts
U.K., March 14, 2018 (BBC NEWS) — Google has moved to ban crypto-currency advertising from its platforms. The move will affect promotional campaigns for initial coin offerings, Bitcoin exchanges, digital wallets to store the assets and trading advice. A notice said the policy would be introduced in June 2018, but did not give an explanation why.
The BBC understands that Google decided to act because it felt there was a lack of appropriate consumer protections for highly speculative and complex trades. It follows a similar move by Facebook in January 2018, which said many firms in the sector were acting in bad faith.
The value of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple all dipped after the news emerged at about 04:00 GMT.
Google certification
Ahead of the announcement, some users of Google’s AdWords service had reported a drop-off in the performance of their crypto-currency campaigns, although the tech giant denied having made any policy changes at that point.
Google has also said it will tighten its rules for ads relating to other financial products including spread betting and contracts-for-difference – in which sellers promise to provide compensation for an asset’s gain in value over a set period of time, and buyers to cover a loss.
It said AdWords users would have to be licensed by the relevant regulators in the countries they are targeting and be certified by Google itself.
This is all a good move
, commented crypto-currency sceptic David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain.
It’s about tackling the kinds of risky investments that verge on gambling
.
“If you’re a proper trader or an accredited investor then fine – it means you’re rich and your money is your own problem. But these things shouldn’t be targeted at ordinary people.”
Google’s move followed a warning about crypto-currencies published by the International Monetary Fund’s managing director on Tuesday.
Christine Lagarde wrote Money laundering and terrorist financing is only one dimension of the threat
.
The rapid growth of crypto-assets, the extreme volatility in their traded prices, and their ill-defined connections to the traditional financial world could easily create new vulnerabilities.
We must welcome their potential but also recognise their risks
.
Arbitrade Exchange Inc. plans to acquire Cryptobontix Inc.
NEW YORK, March 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Arbitrade, a cryptocurrency exchange and mining company, will acquire its partner company, Cryptobontix, in an acquisition that will be completed later this month.

A spokesman for Cryptobontix explained it will tie traditional mining for bullion to cryptocurrency mining. The first four tokens in that which Cryptobontix refers to as their Ingot Family of Tokens is Dignity Token DIG (formerly Unity Ingot UNY), Namaste Token NAM, Orectic Token ORE, and Honor Token HNR.

Each of these four tokens will commence operations starting with 5,000 mining rigs each and the company hopes to have all 20,000 in operation not later than May of this year. More details regarding Dignity (DIG), Namaste (NAM), Orectic (ORE) and Honor (HNR) are found in these front pages of CCC.
Describing its mining formula a spokesperson said the company uses 50% of daily mined proceeds which is used to pay for the backing of the token whether bullion or alternative cryptocurrencies; meanwhile, 20% is used to purchase more mining rigs – which creates a growth factor – while 15% is used to support the token’s markets and a further 15% is used for operational expenses.
The company expects to have over 1,500 cryptocurrency mining rigs operating online by April 1, 2018. At today’s earnings and current cryptocurrency prices, the 1,500 mining rigs have the potential to generate approximately $250,000 per month according to the company’s mining consultant. Given yesterday’s announcement, Arbitrade is aggressively seeking as many cryptocurrency mining rigs as possible to fulfill all 40,250 rigs planning to officially launch entire operation.
