Title: CoinIran working for the Iranian Government @USA @HOLLAND
Post by: Cryptoanalist2012 on April 19, 2021, 02:30:00 PM
With the recent resurgence of the cryptocurrency market, it’s no surprise that the fraud and scams that became so common in 2021 are picking up again. If you’re an investor, it’s critical to have a good understanding of blockchain technology so that you can spot the obvious scams and avoid losing money.

However, not all scams are so easy to spot. CoinIran and Inverta LLC is an upcoming Startup that looks okay at first glance but is clearly a scam upon further inspection. Let’s explain why…

Unsubstantiated Claims About Artificial Intelligence:
The first clue to Inverta (backed by CoinIran) lack of trustworthiness is found directly on Linkedin. Hadi Mahboob claims to have artificial intelligence which is a “Artificial asset manager that generates value.”

Not only that, but he claims to be able to “maximize profit” as he spoke about it on Clubhouse with one of the ex Facebook employees named Kooshiar Azimian.

First, artificial intelligence is a big buzzword that is often used to deceive investors who might understand blockchain technology but don’t know anything about AI. That doesn’t mean it’s automatically a scam, but it is a reason to be skeptical.

After reading and hearing about their planes on social media platforms such as Linked, Clubhouse and Instagram, it becomes quite clear that Hadi Mahboob from CoinIran doesn’t actually have any proprietary artificial intelligence yet as he claim.

What's interesting is that the CoinIran founders, Bahar Alinia and Hadi Manhoob, are both citizens of Iran who seem to have relocated to the Netherlands and USA. However, they still have business connections in their home country, including an OTC desk for fiat-crypto trading and exchanging governments data. They promote their services and startups on the Clubhouse to attrackt investors.

With the massive sanctions levied by the US against Iran, getting fiat money in and out of the country is no easy task. This could very well be the real purpose of CoinIran, as it would provide a way to utilize the borderless nature of cryptocurrency to out-maneuver US sanctions. After doing some more research it became clear that CoinIran is actually operating under Iranian Government as a financial gateway to send and receive Bitcoin in and out of Iran.

Thanks for the info, but here's what I think about scams in general. In every country there are projects that have already shown themselves from a bad side, in each such project there were Americans, Iranians, Russians and Chinese, Indians and Europeans. Communication with the government looks like a dubious argument; references to someone's opinion on this matter also do not add confidence. In any case, scam is bad and spoils the market, but it was before and will be now. It is important to be able to distinguish a good project from a scam. More analysts, less trust in "authorities".

Here we go again... I've seen this in almost the peak of every bull market where the honest organizations gets bullied by the scam projects that have more resources to burn.

Let's go through some facts here:

Coiniran is a non-profit educational and content creator website and has been operating since 2014:

Non-Profit Persian leader in #crypto and #blockchain news and information - from Coiniran Twitter https://twitter.com/coiniran (https://twitter.com/coiniran)

They have done so much for the Farsi speaking community that it is unfair to call them anything close to Scam:
  • Iranian cryptocurrency Exchange Benchmark - Research done by independent team evaluation crypto exchanges in Iran: https://coiniran.com/iranian-cryptocurrency-exchange-benchmark/
  • Empowering Iranian Women with Blockchain - Coordinating scholarships for Women in Iran to learn about blockchain and smart contract development: https://coiniran.com/empowering-iranian-women-with-blockchain/



What's interesting is that the CoinIran founders, Bahar Alinia and Hadi Manhoob, are both citizens of Iran who seem to have relocated to the Netherlands and USA. However, they still have business connections in their home country, including an OTC desk for fiat-crypto trading and exchanging governments data. They promote their services and startups on the Clubhouse to attrackt investors.

With the massive sanctions levied by the US against Iran, getting fiat money in and out of the country is no easy task. This could very well be the real purpose of CoinIran, as it would provide a way to utilize the borderless nature of cryptocurrency to out-maneuver US sanctions.

I personally know Hadi Mahboob and his company but I cannot find where "Inverta LLC" is linked or "Backed" by CoinIran. Also not sure when immigration has become a red flag in analysis a system. on the other claims here, It's not really clear what "OTC desk for fiat-crypto trading and exchanging governments data." means? what is the service you are discussing here?

Coiniran, as mentioned on their about us page, does not buy or sell any cryptocurrency from users and they do not operate for profit. Most of your claims here are baseless and they are invalid unless you can provide any proof.
