was voted Time’s Man of the Year in 2006."

1. Is it possible one of Jawad's family members has a spouse that is authorized to live in the barracks?

2. I can't seem to find the source for the frequently-cited "millions and millions of pounds" audio clip. It seems to be no longer available.

https://clyp.it/h1nan1uz

Is there another source for it?

Ok, I've gone through the whole recording and Jawad basically spends the entire time after instructing Ish to tell Nick from Vanbex to go fuck himself about his 3btc crowdsale investment, complaining about Ish having gone away for two weeks without telling him and repeatedly slagging Vanbex off for "fucking us over".

Ish, why does he feel Vanbex screwed him over?

Because I bet this article of theirs http://www.econotimes.com/Razorminds-DeOS-Crowdsale-Raises-US-$19M-in-Bitcoin-241414 helped him collect a lot more than the six thousand dollars they were being paid.

This:
JAWAD 38:55 : "I have literally got millions of pounds, more money than I have ever had in my entire life. [sound abruptly cuts at this point to Jawad then talking about how Ishmail wasn't around when he needed to get advice from him]"

Pretty much is what we suspected all along, that Jawad considers that 'crowdsale' (ICO) money as his.

Also, going back to the beginning of the call, at 4:50 Ish ask if Phil (Sturgeon) is going to be coming into the office and Jawad answers in a somewhat dismissive way, "Yes, he will, so will [Adams?] and all the others. . .just . . ." but then redirects the focus to something he's doing on his desktop, "Let me just check this thing, tokens are going out . . ."

It is almost as though he doesn't want the topic of the discussion to remain on the issue of Phil and others coming into 'the office'. Listen for yourself, you'll see what I mean.


Correct, this bullshit 'it was a crowdsale not an ICO' excuse doesn't cover for the fact that people would have bought into this 'crowdsale' under the impression that Razormind was a substantial operation with hundreds of staff and offices all over the world and that DeOS was already a legitimate platform with 27,000 active users. As he intended through his intentionally fraudulent website and interviews.

That it netted him several million dollars in bitcoin elevates it to an SFO-level response at the very least.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Monday announced the indictment of three co-founders of a cryptocurrency start-up once promoted by the boxer Floyd Mayweather, accusing them of fraudulently raising more than $25 million from investors in an initial coin offering.

Sohrab “Sam” Sharma, Robert Farkas and Raymond Trapani, who co-founded Centra Tech Inc, were each charged with securities fraud, wire fraud and two conspiracy counts, according to an indictment filed with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Prosecutors said the defendants, who live in Florida, misled investors in Centra tokens that they had formed partnerships with Visa Inc (V.N), MasterCard Inc (MA.N) and Delaware-based The Bancorp Inc (TBBK.O) to issue debit cards, lied about having money transmitter licenses and created a fictitious chief executive officer.

Lawyers for the three defendants could not be immediately reached for comment.

The three men were arrested last month and the FBI seized 91,000 “Ether units” consisting of digital funds currently worth $60 million, according to a release announcing the indictment.

Authorities around the world have attempted to rein in the global boom in trading cryptocurrencies - a form of digital money created and maintained by its users.

“As alleged, the defendants conspired to capitalize on investor interest in the burgeoning cryptocurrency market,”

Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami said in the release. “Whether traditional or cutting-edge, investment vehicles can’t legally be peddled with falsehoods and lies.”

Dear Sir,

In relation to the case a report was forwarded to legal advisors which outlined the facts that were known about the case and they took the view that the chances of a successful prosecution were slim to none as the company was still operating and at that point we would be unable to prove that Razormind was not going to produce the platform as advertised.

Things have now taken a turn and we are now in a position to say that the company was set-up solely to commit fraud.  I have also been in conversation with HMRC (Tax men) who have requested that I identify any assets connected to Jawad to allow them to make a further move on him.

Unfortunately  I have to also inform you that even if we get him prosecuted the chances of the recovery of any of his victims finances will be very difficult at best with a high possibility that none will be recovered.

In order to put a full interview in place I am emailing you to ask if you would make a full Statement of evidence in relation you involvement with the company.

Unfortunately I require a hard copy signed by yourself.  This is required by our court system.  I also need to ask if you are willing to attend Court in the event that this case would go to a full trial. (This is all dependant on the defendants plea).

A statement can be made either by you attending your local Police Station and getting them to record a statement and posting a copy to me or recording a statement yourself on the documents I have attached. (It would be best if you send me a draft version via email first in order that it can be reviewed to ensure we have all the relevant points required)

I have included both formats of the statement form for you as I was unsure whether you wanted to type or hand write the statement. Please email me a copy before you post the original so that I can review it to be sure we cover all the points.

Please commence the statement by introducing yourself and giving detail of your profession.  DO NOT GIVE DETAIL OF YOUR ADDRESS.  Just state the you live at an address known to Police.  Do not paragraph or leave gaps. Also complete the witness detail form.

In the main body of the statement would you be so kind as to give detail to cover the following.

1.    How did you become aware of the existence of Razormind and what lead you to deal with this company.

2.    Detail of the product and its function you were hoping to purchase from this company.

3.    The choices given to you as method of payment. Include details in relation to transfer of funds, include details of wallet numbers. Please include total amount paid to Razormind.(This is essential to show the transfer of funds from your wallet to his.)
 
4.    If possible please include detail of any conversation with the company and with whom.

5.    Details of any agreement that you entered into with Razormind.

6.    A copy of the end user agreement in relation to the product.

7.    Detail in relation to what product if any you have received.

8.    Detail of any subsequent conversation or correspondence with Razormind in relation to you investing with the company. Include the result of any questions you asked.

9.     Please provide any email correspondence that was made between you and Razormind and refer to it in your statement. (Important to show what contact there was with Razormind).

Please email me a draft for review before committing to a full statement, this way we can be sure we have all points covered.

I know that is not ideal but probably the best we can do.

Any problems please do not hesitate to contact me.

 
Kind regards

SEC Halts Fraudulent Scheme Involving Unregistered ICO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2018-53

Washington D.C., April 2, 2018 —

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged two co-founders of a purported financial services start-up with orchestrating a fraudulent initial coin offering (ICO) that raised more than $32 million from thousands of investors last year.  Criminal authorities separately charged and arrested both defendants.   

The SEC's complaint alleges that Sohrab “Sam”� Sharma and Robert Farkas, co-founders of Centra Tech. Inc., masterminded a fraudulent ICO in which Centra offered and sold unregistered investments through a "CTR Token."�  Sharma and Farkas allegedly claimed that funds raised in the ICO would help build a suite of financial products.  They claimed, for example, to offer a debit card backed by Visa and MasterCard that would allow users to instantly convert hard-to-spend cryptocurrencies into U.S. dollars or other legal tender.  In reality, the SEC alleges, Centra had no relationships with Visa or MasterCard.  The SEC also alleges that to promote the ICO, Sharma and Farkas created fictional executives with impressive biographies, posted false or misleading marketing materials to Centra’s website, and paid celebrities to tout the ICO on social media. 

According to the complaint, Farkas made flight reservations to leave the country, but was arrested before he was able to board his flight.  Criminal authorities also arrested Sharma. 

"We allege that Centra sold investors on the promise of new digital technologies by using a sophisticated marketing campaign to spin a web of lies about their supposed partnerships with legitimate businesses,” said Stephanie Avakian, Co-Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.  “As the complaint alleges, these and other claims were simply false."

"As we allege, the defendants relied heavily on celebrity endorsements and social media to market their scheme,”� said Steve Peikin, Co-Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.  “Endorsements and glossy marketing materials are no substitute for the SEC’s registration and disclosure requirements as well as diligence by investors.”

The SEC’s complaint, filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, charges Sharma and Farkas with violating the anti-fraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws.  The complaint seeks permanent injunctions, return of allegedly ill-gotten gains plus interest and penalties, as well as bars against Sharma and Farkas serving as public company officers or directors and from participating in any offering of digital or other securities.  In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York today announced criminal charges against Sharma and Farkas. 

The SEC's investigation, which is continuing, is being conducted by Jon A. Daniels, Luke M. Fitzgerald, and Alison R. Levine of the SEC's Cyber Unit and New York Regional Office, and supervised by Valerie A. Szczepanik and Robert A. Cohen.  The litigation is being conducted by Mr. Daniels, Mr. Fitzgerald, and Ms. Levine, and supervised by Ms. Szczepanik.  The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Investors in the Centra ICO who believe they may be a victim should contact www.SEC.gov/tcr.  The SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy has issued an Investor Bulletin on initial coin offerings and additional information is available on Investor.gov and SEC.gov.

Instant Real Time, BitPay for example is a load feature, Centra is a instant feature, where it takes market rate at the moment of the swipe.

- That is correct, and that is how the system works.

When you, as the user, makes a swipe/online transaction, at that instant moment we are giving you a market exchange rate to fiat conversion that allows the charge to be approved. We also have a formula to configure slippage as we use numerous exchanges connected to CCE via APIs to always perform the safest/closest transaction exchange.

Well I logged in today after not being on here for while to see my account flagged untrusted, (which really blows)  and also I see something bout this lust ico..i do not and would not support this.

Needless to say I changed my password but now this accountnis forever scarred with the posts of that piece of shit.

Wish this forum had 2fa but then again it's most likely my fault not making my pass word 60 characters .


Sigh

This would require that the payment process interact with your application somehow, I genuinely do not see where this is taking place in the transaction flow. I'm going to have to assume that the issuing bank is offering a service whereby its systems provides for that prior to the authorisation message.

In any event, my concern is regarding the exchange rate being fixed prior to the transaction by way of the user 'selecting' it in the app, as opposed to a real-time rate, and is both confirmed by you,


...and then contradicted


So which is it? Does the 'selection' process fix the rate to be whatever Centra is offering until the cryptocurrency is 'deselected' by the user, or does it provide for a real-time exchange rate at the time of the transaction?

When the user swipes their card, our application checks the "active" asset selected and if the user balance in that asset, for example bitcoin, is greater or equal to the transaction, the card instantly will be credited the amount from our Mastercard Settlement Account held with the issuing bank to pay the transaction (Real-Time Loading + External Authorization Method), and then deducted from our "active" selected asset.

- That is correct, and that is how the system works.

When you, as the user, makes a swipe/online transaction, at that instant moment we are giving you a market exchange rate to fiat conversion that allows the charge to be approved. We also have a formula to configure slippage as we use numerous exchanges connected to CCE via APIs to always perform the safest/closest transaction exchange.

They just run the program through the issuing bank whom facilitates all of the charges that get approved/declined by the card issuer in this case Mastercard.

Also I have personally seen the patent application and form. If you want to contact me present your ID and sign an NDA I'm sure they can show you too to prove you wrong.

Exactly, we just have a FUD master in this thread, I choose not to delete his topics this time because they had relevance but his tone makes sense on the direction he is leading.

There is no "load" feature when they use the wallet to use their card, just select the asset your using and let CCE do the rest.

It's very simple:

Deposit Crypto

Select Asset

Open or Close app it's up to you the asset selected remains active until switched.

If your balance = greater than the charge on the active asset = approved
If your balance = less than the charge of the active asset = declined

Is the Centra Card a debit or a prepaid card?

You don't work for banking, you have no clue what your talking about. Please go look at how a REAL Authorization flow chart looks and you'll see how you got that one wrong.

I for one have sat in on one of the phone conferences with the company and heard how the model works and it makes all the sense in the world that is why they actually FILED For patent for it as the CCE didn't exist  before. Only time will show you wrong . But your too busy policing cryptos to know that.

Their will be standard PIN to use just like a typical debit card. Your assets are always stored as cryptocurrency. The way CCE works is through its patent-pending technology which when the user swipes it'll convert it into real time fiat to approve the charge and deduct your cryptocurrency as the result of the purchase.
