DeOS (by Razormind) is most likely a scam! EDIT: Ongoing investigation!!!

[Gleb Gamow]

Just going back to the OP of https://www.reddit.com/r/icocrypto/comments/50sh1h/razormind_deos/ it strikes me as strange how Jawad and Phil set about promoting Razormind as having multiple 'Leadership' personnel, such as Ish Malik, Feda Muhasen, Adil Iftikar and David Mondrus, as of the beginning of August, but according to this reddit thread "this post was submitted on 02 Sep 2016" yet only has:

Team:

    Jawad Yaqub, Enterprise Architect.
    Phil Sturgeon, Director.

No mention of the people he awarded 'field promotions' to the previous month!


Now, as for this libellous claim:

Firstly, Jawad and/or Phil, googling that email address brings up ONE hit. One single fucking hit. Do you know what it brings up for that email address? You probably do seeing as you are intentionally posting libellous statements in order to deflect from your fraudulent astro-turfing of your two-man-band residential-address-registered-office sham corporation. It brings up the very same reddit post which makes the false claim in the first place. Oh my. So soon a millionaire and you're already guilty of so many infractions!

Secondly, and at this time this is the real eyebrow-raiser, claiming that 'paid trolls from Ethereum' have actually 'attacked' staff and family members and that these attackers have been traced back to Israel. Because apparently it wasn't good enough to simply lie that your 'staff' (who?) had been attacked by ConsenSys 'trolls', no, because what you actually did was get *real* fucking specific and claim they were 'paid trolls' from Tel Aviv, Israel.

Letting something slip there, Jawad? Mr "Feckin' white people, do you know what I mean?".

I think I do, Jawad, I think I know *exactly* what you feckin' mean.

Oh, my freckin Allah!



Here's the plan: Hunt down Prophet Jacob and stuff him inside this giant hog.

unrelated to Deos scam allegations per say but more of an insight into Jawad mind found this radio interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1uaqsPG18g


where he is being praised about an article he wrote here in 2013
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jawad-yaqub/the-muslim-story-of-chris_b_4454290.html

it is innocent religeous stuff, but then I found the same article  earlier in 2011, yes you guessed it by another author
http://justaskamuslim.blogspot.co.uk/2011_12_01_archive.html

did he copy it? more than likely given the track record of lies and copy-paste he's shown. What I found confusing is how genuine and thoughtful he can come across  on the radio. Am no shrink, but I wonder if we are dealing with some mental issue nowaramsayin? like double personality, or someone who creates a world of self importance then starts to really believe in it and shit like that ....

I honestly believe that we're dealing with a terrorist here -Jawad Yaqub - and that the UK version of the NSA (et al.) should pick him up for questioning along with Phil Sturgeon so to find out exactly where the money came from (if not from real non-investors) and where the money went. You or I can't go and make a purchase over $10K USD here in the US without having a microscope stuck up our asses, but are you telling me that a Muslim who doesn't give a shit about white people or Jews is able to amass millions sans having the same microscope stuck up his freckin brown ass while residing the UK? Look at what the fuck they did to Burt Wagner and his family for simply trading bitcoins as a quasi-hobby. (with apologies for injecting "quasi-")

:facepalm:

Yes, of course he just plagiarised somebody else's work, that's pretty much what he does. Incessantly.

He's a narcissist, which isn't uncommon amongst men who are raised to believe themselves 'special' in the eyes of their omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent super-being.


What is personal religion if it isn't the belief that your very particular brand of bronze-age goat-herder mythology is the 'right' one, thereby rendering you to be 'more special' than those silly fools who don't believe in your very particular brand of bronze-age goat-herder mythology?

It saddens me to now learnt that my fellow sleuths evoked "goat" and didn't invite me to the party. I see what's happening here. You want all them goats to yourselves. HA! Well guess what? I'm now here and you're now forced to share. That said, I forgot my boots at home. Can any one of you dudes lend me a pair? It'll be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You'll give me a heart attack...

You're in luck. Blood was recently donated for your future stay in some Bulgarian hospital thanks to https://www.facebook.com/pg/nebatauk/about/?ref=page_internal Since you fuckers opted to not invite me to your goat fest, I'll leave it up to my fellow sleuths to connect Jawad Yaqub (Prophet Jacob) to Nebatauk. To boot, I'm not even gonna give you fuckers a hint like https://twitter.com/nebatauk/followers or http://reversewhois.domaintools.com/jawad-yaqub or especially not https://who.is/whois/nebata.co.uk.

With regards to the 'Leadership' page of profiles, now they've had to finally remove Ismael let's scrutinise who is left. First up we have Mr James Ferguson

or, to give him his proper title, Doctor James Ferguson.

According to Jawad and Phil, Doctor Ferguson's 'key skills' are user engagement and building effective brands. Which I'm sure would come as quite the surprise to him, seeing as most people would likely describe Dr Ferguson's key skills as, well, being a fucking doctor!

So I kinda wondered if there was a connection between James Ferguson and Jawad Yaqub. It turns out, there is! They both follow each other on Instagram, which again left me puzzled as to how on earth a Belfast fraudster would happen to know a NY medical professional enough to both be following each other.

Turns out there is a shared connection they both have:

Dr Ferguson's leaked mac.com password (don't worry it has been changed since) tells you what connects him to Jawad:

So, @Noziak, do you *still* not want to 'go there'?

Oh, my freckin Allah!

NOOOOOOOOOO! Let's go there. I just got off the phone, a call from <redacted>. Rest assured that Jawad Yaqub and some (not all) of his close associates affiliated with DeOS (among other entities) WILL be investigated to see if there is a terrorist connection. When I got off the phone, I did Google the phone number from whence the call originated and it did checkout to be from the right agency (unless there's a way to substitute one number for another on the cell phone ID thingy).

Looks like I nailed it again thanks to my and, yes, fellow sleuths' Google-fu prowess. Ironic, how some have been trying to downplay the let's-not-go-there aspect when, in fact, it's now a major part of what Prophet Jacob is behind. I suggest he start now to goatsiefy his freckin brown asshole for his extended stay at Gitmo where he can brag to the outside world of how his [2]60 employees from seven continents are running the place on contract from the US government, advancing the block chain aspect to a whole new level.

A wise bearded man once said:

Justice should be swift, clean, total, and should leave all observers in no doubt that any member of society is as safe from attack as possible and in retribution the state will be firmly on the side of the victim. That is not to say that the accused has no rights! Before any punitive measures are even considered, the person must have been proven guilty under evidence laws that are tougher than they are in most western countries, including the UK. Once it is proven that the person is guilty then the state should pass judgement on the criminal, exact punishment on behalf of the victim, and also exact reparation for the victim.

I'll leave it to my fellow sleuths who didn't invite me to this goat fest to cite the source who may or may not have commented on the following page: http://everything2.com/title/mr100percent?lastnode_id=1514711 (keyword may or may not be: Excellent wu and long overdue. - Don't bother Googling the phrase because it will only produce one result which may or may not reveal its author).

The bearded freckin brown ass man also penned the following as a reply to I'm white, upper-middle-class in the richest country in the world-what need have I for God?

And yet...
You are nothing.

An innocent white lamb left to stagger and cry on the rocks, far away from your mother as the dark wolves come ever closer to their dinner.

For I have dark skin, little one. I work for my place in this world, and come from the poorest country in the world. And I will devour you, at my leisure.

Why would I do such a thing you may ask? Take your beauty, your innocence from the world?

I am hungry, my eyes will reply.

You made me hungry.

And now I will feast.

But hey, let's not go there.  

Note to self: Scotland is the poorest country in the world.

Another note to self: I wanna fuck this bearded freckin brown ass man's sister.

How far back does the relationship between James Ferguson (became a doctor after being inspired upon meeting the real Patch Adams) and Jawad Yaqub go, you ask?

I'd say prior to April Fools Day, 2003: http://everything2.com/user/mr100percent/writeups/Paradoxes+of+Islamic+Fundamentalism

Islam isn't bad, it's just that you've only seen one side to it. Untold millions of Good Muslims are all over this planet, but you only hear about the one or two bad apples. Catholics griped over the same thing when scandals involving priests caused only negative coverage of the Vatican and some say Catholicism itself. I myself am a Muslim, and what the extremists do sicken me. I know better than to blame my religion for what was committed, because I have about as much in common with them as I do with Jack the Ripper (thanks Jaez for the allusion). Islam rejects violence except as a last resort and for self defense. Completely. Totally.

My takeaway: Jack the Ripper isn't bad, it's just that you've only seen one side of him. Wait till you get to meet Jack's sister. Rumor has it she'll eat your heart out. But hey, that's only one side of her.

Which is why we are left scratching our head wondering what a practising New York Doctor is doing allowing his name to be used to present him as something he is not for a company which has a proven history of presenting itself as something it is not and which just collected several million dollars in bitcoin through a fraudulent 'crowdsale'.

From the desk of Brother, can you spare a few satoshis or: Brother, you up for a new token scam to fleece the cryptocurrency community?

http://everything2.com/user/mr100percent/writeups/ummah

There is something aweing about it. We are one Ummah, we are bound together. When Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, and Indonesia suffer, we feel their pain. I found myself sobbing at a total stranger's funeral, though I doubt I ever met him before and there was no eulogy on him. I've spent hours on the phone counseling my brothers, although we are not related by family. That's something I still can't describe in words, the Ummah is a family, perhaps even stronger than a blood one. My brothers earnestly care for me, and I love them as much as or more than family, despite being the only son in my family.

We are Ummah!

[Gleb Gamow]

I just wonder those scammers are related to terrosim?      Shit, hope no retarded donate money to them.

I may be a slow reader but at least I'm not a slow reader.  Yes, this is as far I've gotten so far in this thread, been dedicated to this bitch since my first arrival the other day. I now see that somebody quasi-echos my sentiment.

Expanding on cryptodevils post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1564499.msg16569396#msg16569396

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/aug/14/explosion-mi5-headquarters-northern-ireland-police-investigate

Police confirmed they were investigating an explosion inside Palace Barracks in Holywood, Co Down. The base on the eastern edge of Belfast is home to British army regiments as well as an important regional centre for the security services.

...

The Guardian understands that the explosion went off 200m from the door to the MI5 compound. As well as housing up to 1,000 MI5 operatives, Palace Barracks is home to the Royal Scots Borderers of the Royal Regiment of Scotland who have been stationed there since August 2014.

You tell me how a white-hating, Jew-hating, brown-ass lying piece of shit Muslim is able to have a flat within this highly secure gated community, Jawad Yaqub's home literally walking distance from a police station also located on Clive Rd (Clive Road).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_Barracks,_Holywood

Palace Barracks has been the Regimental Headquarters of the Royal Irish Regiment since 2008 and the home base of several squadrons of the 152 (North Irish) Regiment RLC. In March 2010, it was the site of a bombing, one of several attacks carried out by "hardline Republicans" in 2010; other attacks included the Newry car bombing. Since 2014 it has been the base for the The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland.

In 2006, Arousa Yaqub (most likely Jawad's sister since he's on record stating that he wasn't married at the time) used 55 Clive Rd as her mailing address for a woman's charity concern: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/M6rHINYwO3T0wJ2O9VZxCKI41lY/appointments



PDF Link from --> https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/NI050558/filing-history?page=3



My take is that either Jawad Yaqub lied about the mailing address, simply using an old address where at least one member of the Yaqud clad once resided, or MI5 figured out a way to finance its covert operations.

[plastick]

Tell MI5 I want my fucking American money back!

Are you guys telling me this actually made 6,000 BTC?

This blows my mind, is it possible they inflate the wallet so when people invest it looks like legit? The wallet being funded by previous scams? It just seems amazing to me that something this stupid looking could part people of 6000+ BTC.

Well, I personally suspect that they are a lot less and some fake transactions were made, but I never bothered to check that since Razormind screams scam right from the start.

[Gleb Gamow]

On the ~middle of page 14, just now seeing this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1564499.msg16579606#msg16579606 I'll say it again: fuck you guys   for not inviting me to this goat fest, hence posting shit that has already been addressed, albeit I did bring to light some new shit.

<mentioned in the very next post>

https://www.reddit.com/r/icocrypto/comments/50sh1h/razormind_deos/

Note to self: Muslims don't know an investment from a hole in the ground, namely invest early, get mucho; invest late, not so mucho; invest really late, adios mucho.

1. Razormind/DeOS is an MI5 operation
OR
2. Razormind/DeOS is not an MI5 operation

2.1: Razormind is a terrorist organization attempting to raise money and using this fake address as a "fuck you" to MI5.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/palace-barracks-explosion-at-mi5-headquarters-and-army-base-in-northern-ireland-caused-by-device-hidden-in-postal-van-31451937.html

Maybe somebody should contact the base and let them know what is going on.

Me so sad! Me first thought that me was originator of the terrorist scheme. 

[Gleb Gamow]

So, the scammer may split collected BTC to two streams that 1) routed to Antshares ICO 2) routed to Jawad wallet.

is this the case?

No, it is more likely that the address posted by 'Rippleme' was incorrectly identified as Razormind's when it was actually the Antshares escrow.

'rippleme' said he had traced the payments made by his friends, but he also didn't know that a bitcoin address beginning with 3 denotes a multisig address, so it suggests he is not overly familiar with the blockchain.

Either that or his post was an intentional 'red herring' to mislead us.

Given some of the evidence coming to light back here it would not surprise me.

Totally screwed up on that. I was given that info, searched on here and found this thread and thought I'd share the info.
I HATE SCAMMERS and in this space there are plenty. When one or more are found they need to be exposed!
I had confidence one of you guys could do more research than me, as cryptodevil says I'm not technical nor an expert.

So I checked in with my friends (2 cousins and not so sharp) after seeing the few pages of comments since last time I posted, and literally told them WTF have you given me?
One of them said they got confused as they did participate in the Antshares sale, but mentioned something went wrong there too but it was their fault... Didn't quite get it...
Long story short I asked for the DEOS TX Ids, but they are away right now on holiday... It wasn't much money they can't be bothered.

If I manage to get hold of the TX Ids I'd definitely come back to post them.
Apologies if I have wasted your time. As a community member I appreciate the time you guys spend looking into and exposing scammers!

Hey guys, good to see this thread.

I have a couple of friends who have been burned by the DEOS SCAM, they sent small transactions and the team answered they are not going to give them tokens because they are dust... They also stopped writing back. How odd. There was no mention of that at the beginning of the crowdfund but the page kept on changing over time where new rules applied. I hope someone here has kept copies and screenshots of the pages.

Timeline:

- My two friends got burned. Here are the addresses.
- My two friends quit replying to me. ODD!
- My two friends are my cousins. They got confused, hence the wrong addresses
- My two friends are now on holiday (unless they or I am mistaken).
- My two cousin friends got scammed and wanted me to look into it, but now it's not much money and don't want to be bothered with the details.

MY TAKE: There sure as fuck seems to be a lot of misinformation on this DeOS scam. <waves at MI5>

[Gleb Gamow]

... aaand he's gone (he blocked me on Twitter). Guess that he and Jawad indeed has something in common. Maybe he still remembers my posts (which came AFTER the red flags in RZR): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=644498.msg10483732#msg10483732

Of course I blocked you.  You are a prime example of the very toxicity that so many have noticed plagues this industry.

You think you're wise, but you're not.  You think you know what's going on, but you proved you don't with your own words.  You're a troll with a twitter feed.

I have no further time to invest in your fantasies.  I'm glad for this opportunity to drag all this out into the open.

DeOS and FAILCommunity deserve each other.
