Bitcoin Golem provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Bitcoin Golem website domain (“bitcoingolem.com”) was privately registered on March 23rd, 2017.

A UK incorporation certificate for “Bitcoin Golem Limited” is provided on the company website. Dominic Graham is listed as the sole Director of the company, through an address in London.

Further research reveals the same address is tied to a “Dominic Waters”, listed Director for Lensen Group LTD.

Lensen Group is a Ponzi scheme launched in late 2016. The company solicits investment through plans promising a 110% ROI in ten days.

Despite sharing the same address and first name, the birthdates for Dominic Water and Dominic Graham are different.

Given the fraudulent nature of Lensen Group’s business model, it is highly likely that neither Dominic Water or Dominic Graham exists.

Lensen Group launched and began to collapse after a few months. It appears whoever is running it has now decided to try again with Bitcoin Golem.
