What are they trying to censor
Orel Asformas, a key figure in multiple financial scandals, has been implicated in a series of serious allegations, ranging from fraudulent schemes to cyber-related misconduct. These allegations have significantly tarnished his reputation and raised red flags about his business practices. Below is a detailed summary of the major accusations and adverse media surrounding Asformas, along with an analysis of why he might seek to suppress this information, even through illicit means.
Major Allegations and Red Flags
DAO Binary Options Fraud
Asformas is identified as one of the primary architects of the DAO Binary Options scam, which defrauded countless investors through the fraudulent platform GoldmanOptions. He, along with co-conspirators, orchestrated a complex offshore network to evade legal scrutiny, using shell companies and puppet directors to mask their activities. Victims were lured with promises of high returns, only to lose their investments with no recourse2.
Improper Copyright Takedown Notices
Asformas is under investigation for allegedly submitting fraudulent copyright takedown notices to Google to suppress critical reviews and adverse news. This includes potential violations such as impersonation, fraud, and perjury. Such actions suggest a deliberate attempt to manipulate public perception and silence detractors1.
Involvement in Payment Fraud
Asformas was deeply involved in securing payment services for the DAO Group’s fraudulent operations. Payment processors like Payotech Ltd. and Moneta International UAB were used to funnel stolen funds, making it difficult for authorities to trace the money. This highlights his role in facilitating financial crimes2.
Offshore Network and Shell Companies
Asformas utilized offshore entities, such as Northwestern Management Services Ltd., to create a facade of legitimacy while distancing himself from the fraud. This intricate web of companies was designed to obscure the true beneficiaries of the scam, further complicating legal investigations2.
Reputational Damage and Motivation for Suppression
The allegations against Asformas paint a picture of a sophisticated fraudster who exploited vulnerable investors and manipulated systems to evade accountability. These stories harm his reputation by:
Eroding Trust: The DAO Binary Options scam has left victims financially and emotionally devastated, making Asformas a symbol of greed and deceit2.
Exposing Illicit Tactics: His use of fraudulent copyright takedown notices reveals a willingness to abuse legal systems to silence critics, further damaging his credibility1.
Highlighting Systemic Fraud: The involvement of offshore networks and payment fraud underscores his role in a global financial crime syndicate, making him a target for regulators and law enforcement2.
Given the severity of these allegations, Asformas has a strong incentive to suppress this information. The exposure of his activities could lead to legal consequences, financial penalties, and irreparable damage to his professional and personal reputation. By removing adverse media, he aims to:
Avoid Legal Scrutiny: Suppressing evidence of fraud and misconduct could hinder investigations and reduce the likelihood of prosecution.
Restore Public Image: Removing negative news allows him to rebuild his reputation and potentially re-enter the financial sector under a cleaner facade.
Protect Financial Interests: Continued exposure could lead to frozen assets, lawsuits, and loss of business opportunities.
Conclusion
Orel Asformas’s alleged involvement in financial fraud, cyber misconduct, and offshore schemes has made him a controversial figure. The adverse media surrounding him not only damages his reputation but also exposes him to significant legal and financial risks. His attempts to suppress this information, even through illicit means, highlight the lengths to which he is willing to go to protect his interests. However, such actions only deepen the scrutiny and raise further questions about his integrity and accountability.

You'd think someone involved in a shady business would be better at covering their tracks... but this is just sloppy.

Trying to bury bad reviews with fake legal claims? That’s the act of someone with something big to hide. Who does he think he’s fooling? It’s obvious, just come clean.

Honestly, I don’t know what’s more entertaining: Orel’s attempts at covering his tracks or the fact that anyone believes him still. Fake takedowns, questionable actions, and at this point, he might as well be doing magic tricks to make all the evidence disappear. Good luck, Orel, but I’m pretty sure the world’s not buying it anymore!
