Identifying a scammer who has stolen millions

{A friend asked me to post this to protect his identity}

Alright first, I just want to say that Reddit is very much interesed in keeping the scammer's identities hidden. My previous post were removed because I disclosed the scammer's identity.

Does everyone WANT to get scammed? Here I am trying to bring him to justice and my posts get removed due to some stupid rules. Anyway, now, I will be telling you exactly how to figure his identity out yourself. If the scammer is reading this, he's probably laughing at me.

​

No wonder a decentralized message board platform is desperately required.

​

This person has been involved in fraud amounting to multiple millions.

​

Initially, I came across this website: https://ocen.network/ Knowing it was a pre-sale scam, I ran metadata analysis on each file using https://exiftool.org/. The litepaper displayed the name “XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXX” as the author.

​

To prove that I did not alter the original documents, please check the link below, download the litepaper and run exiftool on it.

Amount he’s currently hoarding to steal:

https://bscscan.com/address/0x4d50471035d65810cdb9b34550d46b31bf398cb8

​

At time of writing, it holds over 24000 dollars. Once withdrawn, the addresses where he received the money can be seen under “Internal Tnxs”.

Head to:

​

You’ll see someone accusing him of being involved in https://e-usd.network scam.

​

Here he withdrew near about 3500 BNBs:

​

Both the websites are an exact replica. And running metadata analysis, you can see that both websites were originally designed by a certain developer called M_Adnan whose code from https://themeforest.net/user/m_adnan was used for illegal use.

​

I urge all crypto trading platforms to freeze his assets. Currently he’s involved in another project https://moonvest.network/index.html.

​

He has publicly stated in Linkedin that he's involved in moonvest network, so putting its whitepaper through exiftool shows the exact same author “XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXX” and both the whitepapers look exactly the same.

​

Report him to the authorities: USCIS, FTC, SEC, FBI, Seattle Police, all crypto trading platforms, Amazon(his employer), etc.

​

Edit 1: Alright, few things I want clear up:

I do not want any kind of mob justice for him, it's the sole reason I urged you guys to report him to the authorities.

Secondly, the web dev mentioned has nothing to do with this. His code was used for illegal purposes. He probably has no idea what's happening. Don't point this at him.

Third, by mentioning decentralised platform, what I mean is a platform where every single community decides their own rules. No site wide restrictions. In a crypto subplatform, nobody gets to dox. In a scams subplatform, you can dox with proof. Then it's forwarded to the authorities. That's my idea.

​

Anyway, I asked you guys to report him because I'm not even from the US to begin with. There's no way for me report with US details to the FTC, IC3, Seattle Police, etc. This reddit post was my last resort. You think I didn't try to report to the authorities?

Why would I want to make my friend's account known when it can be traced back to me? I'd rather directly send this to the authorities and let him decide what to do with him and that way, I could even guide the authorities as to what I did. They can even seek help from Binance to track the BNBs. That's the best case scenario.

​

People saying that they can't see a scam are probably not aware of how BSC shitcoins work. They take money from you on the pretense of presale and run away from it. The 25k you see is them accumulating to rug pull. The ~3500 BNBs you see are them running away with the BNBs.

​

Note that I did not invest in this scam. The ocen one was forwarded in a WhatsApp group and everyone was asked to take a look at it. I looked at the solidity code and knew for sure it was a scam. Anyway, I of course didn't care much about 24k since that happens every other second. What really interested me is the fact that the scammer was also involved in scams involving millions. Then I tried to dig up everything and anything I could. When I compiled everything, I tried to forward it to the authorities. Turns out not only do they not accept emails, they also need me to enter my US details. Of course I couldn't do that since I'm not from the US.

​

How I linked the three scams:

Ocen's whitepaper's author is XYZ.

Moonvest's whitepaper's author is also XYZ.

Ocen's website design is same as moonvest. Ocen's whitepaper design is also same as moonvest.

He doxxed himself in moonvest. He stated that through his LinkedIn.

​

Eusd's website source and design is same as ocen.

​

There may be more but this is what I found.

​

Let's say I'm wrong but that doesn't negate the fact that I have provided reasonable cause for the authorities to investigate.

​

Prosecuting someone is not my job but I'm free to provide information to the authorities. I've told you everything I know. I can't do shit with the authorities. I hope you guys will be able to report this to the authorities. And they can ask for Binance's help.

That way, he gets a fair trial and we'll see if I'm wrong.

​

​

Edit 2: In any minute, he will try to shut down the project or change his LinkedIn. Do not worry, the website and the whitepapers are here to stay through the web archive and I have saved a screenshot of his LinkedIn (but not reliable) so when and if authorities investigate him, they can ask LinkedIn if he indeed had the tag of being a co-founder. So yes, if at any time he removes it from LinkedIn or he shuts down his scam, you will still be able to find the data. Honestly, I don't even know why I even posted this.

After reading your comments, I agree that doxxing is not a good idea. All I want is for him is to be investigated by the AUTHORITIES (FTC, Seattle Police, etc).

​

​

Edit 3: I realize I might've given tons of scammers clues on how they might get caught. That's my biggest regret about this post. Now they'll be making the necessary corrections before hosting.

​

Edit 4: Comments are locked so it's probably a matter of time before these posts removed. So I'll just say this:

I tried. If nothing comes out of this and that man is not investigated by the authorities, I'll at least know that I tried. To all the scammers out there, have your fun I guess. I'll stop investigating your scams since nothing will come out of them and I'll simply be wasting my time.

I tried to send this to the authorities but not being able to show US citizen details, I wasn't able to. The authorities can seek the help of Binance in tracking down the BNBs. I've given them data proof and reasonable cause. They can request the hosting providers of all three websites for information. Once they have these three and it matches, that's it, they now have a case where they can prosecute. That's what I'll be hoping for.

Thank you everyone for going through this.

​

Edit 5: For those you want me to delete this post, let's make a deal, you report this to the concerned authorities, send me a DM with proof that you've sent it and I'll delete this post. I'm not deleting this post till the authorities get to know about this.

​

Edit 6: Turns out, to report this to the authorities, I'll have to be a victim and provide my details. I don't need to be US citizen, that was wrong on my part. I'm not a victim and I don't want to divulge my identity. I would've gone ahead and provided my details if I lost a lot of money on this but I didn't so I'm not willing to take the risk of me being targeted by scammers later.
