Organized FUD - How The "FUD Mafia" Is Plaguing This Industry (Part 3)

Disclaimer: I'm not for sale. I don't take on services and I don't take on personal requests. I don't accept payments nor donations. I'm not a shill, and I will speak my mind. Opinions are my own, and I will not reply to comments. I'm here to expose the truth, what's behind the organized "crypto-mafia" tasked to disrupt what the crypto-community is building.

It's no surprise that fraudsters and scammers plague this industry. It's no surprise that shilling services are a profitable business. In this article, we're going to tap into the world of "Organized FUD".

What does "FUD" mean?

“FUD” stands for "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt", it's a well-known disinformation strategy that plagues all industries, but specifically the crypto-industry as a whole, for its volatile nature. Taken from Wikipedia, "FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear".

There are some notorious players in the industry who operate on a larger scale and that are specifically tasked with guaranteeing that you are misinformed. I'll introduce one of them in this serious of investigations in trying to uncover the truth being "FUD", their "Modus Operandi", “Sensationalist Journalism”, their “vectors of distribution” and “active agents” that help disseminate the "FUD" throughout the industry.

Shills Exposed – Pay-Per-Tweet

We’ve covered a FUDster and scammer with a criminal past. We’ve also covered an extremely obsessed researcher with an appetite for writing very biased academical papers. Now we’re going to uncover one of the breeding machines that is responsible for dissipating FUD and recruiting ignorant sheep – the unsuspecting victims and cannon putter of a grand plan.

On the next article, we’re also going to uncover some of the “active agents” that greatly help dissipate FUD and surgically sew reality and fiction from information that they manipulate to suit their narrative. But for now, we’ll leave you with the CryptoMedication Trollbox.

CryptoMedication Trollbox – A Fraudulent Telegram Channel

This telegram channel was founded by none other than James Edwards (ProofOfResearch), which we’ve covered extensively on Organized FUD - How The FUD Mafia Is Plaguing This Industry (Part 1). This telegram channel was created as a tool to recruit unsuspecting victims to help him spread FUD on projects that refuse to pay for his extortions. The telegram channel is also known to engage in paid-shilling, specifically for new and existing coins.

This is just a very small example of the shilling that happens inside the CryptoMedication Telegram channel. There’re also social media manipulation requests by James Edwards to boost his social media statements.

As well as direct payment and incentives to harbor even more tether negative sentiment.

James Edwards is running a sophisticated criminal operation with his telegram group as his headquarters. If you’re reading this, I urge you to contact regulators to investigate him. We’ve already filled a massive amount of information connecting James Edwards and all his aliases to a numerous amount of unsolved scam and extortion allegations, and we’ve forwarded it to regulators. We’ve also teamed up with some of the affected victims to coordinate a lawsuit and awareness campaign. This criminal needs to face justice.

The Criminal Already Knows About Our Article, Denies Identity

James Edwards already knows about our article, and claims that we’ve targeted his underage cousin. He claims to be Josh Gordon, and posted a video a few months ago of a paid actor to represent as him on twitter. We urge that same paid actor to go live on webcam on a crypto “talk-show” and speak about all events happening in the cryptospace, script-free. Will not be surprised if he denies it, because it’s a paid actor – not James Edwards.

Also, here you have the real Edwards James, also known by his rap aliases “Small Boy Wonder” and “Jamesthebang”, the later is the alias we’ve covered in Organized FUD - How The FUD Mafia Is Plaguing This Industry (Part 1) and proved the connection to that alias. We understand that he may be mistaken by a child, due to his dwarfism and obvious childish attitude, but James Edwards is real, and is an adult.

Also here it is James Edwards AKA “Small Boy Wonder” with Maryland United, an amateur rap group from Maryland.

Running away from your previous online identities and deny the obvious connection is pointless. Just turn yourself in and face your crimes.

You should always investigate your sources thoughtfully, and take your conclusions from your own investigations.
