Venti®

Venti is a Roblox cafe group offering a wide variety of different foods, drinks, and snacks. Founded in 2018 by Vitalious & dayyseeker. Venti currently holds over 200,000 members, alongside it is one of the most popular roleplay groups within the Roblox industry.

Revival / Timeline
Venti was first established in 2018, when this group was discovered, there wasn't much activity to it. This was during the era of V1 & V2. The group had Version 3 incoming which would be a potential sign of hope in expanding activity.

When V3 released in June 2019, activity significantly spiked within the group. There were over 30-50 players playing on a daily-basis. The group continued to flourish and a whole new era commenced.

Up-to today this establishment now has over 200,000 community members, 100+ players in their main-game, and 100+ trainees at sessions.

25,000 Members / Hacking Incident
On March 30, 2020, Venti® obtained 25,000 members. The day after, on March 31, 2020, early morning at about 3:00 AM Eastern Time, Venti® was hacked. The hacker was known as vermcool which targeted many developers and groups, this individual previously fooled a variety of developers including Vitalious in downloading a specific file pertaining to "protecting the game" - this didn't necessarily bring up any suspicion as it seemed legitimate. However, when the file was activated, Vitalious's account was compromised along with Venti® being taken. The ownership changed to "vermcool", funds were stolen, games were made uncopylocked which allowed many to take the game, affiliations were deleted, and most especially all the members being exiled. Vitalious's account was also terminated from Roblox after the account theft, this occurred due to the hackers adding malicious content to one of the games and or account.

A Discord server code was presented in the group shout, along with the statement "JOIN THE VERMSQUAD", a server to discuss future targets and filled with many companions associated with vermcool. It was later discovered that vermcool was only an alternative account, but the main account was called "Natey_7" whom defines himself as a "trusted" developer on the platform.

Furthermore, once the problem was brought up to the leadership team, mutuals began working on the issue from department to department sorting everything out in an urgent manner. The first step was having the Venti® Discord being deleted to prevent any further disputes or tension developing in the channels. The next step they took was contacting Roblox Support immediately and informing individuals via social media regarding the issue, Venti® stated on Twitter "Currently working with Roblox and our mutuals to solve the on-going issue. Please follow @RealVitalious for more updates." It took approximately a month for Roblox to contact back with further details due to the large amount of e-mails they may have been receiving, mainly towards the incident that happened not just with Venti® - but other developers as well. Whilst waiting, hope was then lost, although many things were recoverable, but not the member count of the group - certainly, the team fought through this devastating journey together and hoped for the best.

Meanwhile, many unofficial Venti groups were being created thinking it would bring light to the situation, which it wouldn't, one group which was in the center of attention entitled Venti X was created, the group ran several advertisements that brought attention to the community, obviously it did get criticism for being unofficial and their horrible acts of taking credits from the actual game developers. The owners offered 50,000 Robux to use the brand name, in which Vitalious declined. They also offered him partial ownership, which Vitalious also declined. They continuously claimed the group as their own, and even after Vitalious informing his own community regarding it - Venti X kept hesitating to comply. No authorization was granted to form a new Venti® group whatsoever. Whoever would state "Fake Venti" or any true criticism towards the group, they'd either be jailed or automatically banned from the game.

Venti X eventually became inactive after a week, it didn't have any potential in flourishing for conspicuous reasons. They only made it to 1,000 members, and afterwards it wasn't relevant anymore. With that, the official Venti® Discord server was created. Then, after a month Roblox responded and the fortunately many priorities were recovered (including the group). Now is when the team began getting back to work gathering partnerships, initiating operations, creating a new agenda, and having hope for the best in the future. Once the group retrieved, it was growing significantly more than the previous rate, and they were back at where they left within just a few days. Other groups like Outlander Studios owned by HS_7 were retrieved as well.

The accounts Natey_7 & vermcool were deleted from Roblox after being reported numerous times.
