#Post Incorporation Reg.

More unforeseen consequences...
Good news! I fixed that issue from the last post! The one where Regs following Antis too closely could unintentionally collide while making turns!
I had considered adding some kind of timer on the Antis to disable collision detection for a few frames immediately after touching an object that causes the direction to change. But I was worried that doing this would cause issues in certain situations. Such as going over one arrow that points directly into another arrow. Disabling collision after hitting the first arrow would cause it to ignore the next one. Or if an arrow was just too near a wall, the particle might end up going out of bounds!
Fortunately, a friend suggested a more targeted approach. Rather than disable collision entirely, I could set up a state that would specifically disable the fail trigger code of an Anti colliding with a Reg.
So now when an Anti goes over an arrow or bumps into a wall, it enters an invulnerability state for 5 frames, after which the state is turned back off and normal behavior resumes. And Regs now only trigger the fail state if they collide with an Anti AND that Anti is not in its invul state. This allows an Anti to make turns in any direction even while being directly followed by a Reg.
Unfortunately, it also allows for this:
Yeah. Somehow didn't account for that possibility.
The big question NOW is...
Do I try to fix this?
Or incorporate it into the level design as a feature?

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love! Tagged by @estrellami-1 - thank you, my dear! <3 Let's see, fanfic specifically, not original works, I imagine...well, I've got a lot! The question is, which... Okay, these are just my personal favs, not even necessarily the ones I think might be the best-written, and I'm also excluding co-authored fic because that would be a very different list! (For one thing, Amateur Cartography, with Reg....) 1. straight from your heart (Stucky) - lots of people seem to like this one (thank you!) and I do too - I love recovering!Bucky stories, I loved the premise (it was written for a fest prompt), and I love the idea of Steve and Bucky working out what they want to incorporate, and play with, and reclaim, as far as identities (and, okay, some kink; it's me!). 2. Like Sugar (Evanstan; series) - okay, this is probably cheating because it's a whole series, but I can't separate them! This might be the thing people know me for most, maybe, and it was at the time the longest and most detailed story I'd ever written, and one of those that was (mostly) easy to write - words and scenes just turned up and flowed. I sometimes go back and reread my writing and am honestly impressed by myself. I do love this whole giant thing. 3. tempt me, tease me (leave me breathless) & (baby won't you please) run your fingers through my hair (both Evanstan, both sort of gentle kink) - okay, this is also kind of cheating, because they're two separate stories - except they're sort of linked, in my head? They have vaguely similar premises, about Chris discovering some things about Seb's preferences, and love confessions, and kink, and comfort, and...I don't know, they just have a similar 'feel' to my writer-brain. They both have specific lines that I've put on "top ten favorite sentences I've written" lists before, and I love my writing at this point. 4. never mind the why and wherefore (Johnny Storm/TJ Hammond Fantastic Four/Political Animals no-powers AU crossover) - this is an odd random one but I genuinely love it! In the category of "stories I never expected to write"...and then friends made me think about it...and then suddenly it practically wrote itself and I had 45k of story. One of the best and most unexpected and consequently wonderful writing experiences I've ever had, plus of course TJ deserves all the happiness! 5. Know That It's True (Cherik, X-Men: First Class era) - pulling out a real old-school one: this was my first-ever X-Men fic! Well, to be fair, that depends on how you count - it's the first one I started writing, but then I stopped and wrote and finished something else short, and then went back to this one! These days my writing style has evolved a bit, and there're some things I'd do differently - but the sheer sense of fun to it, the absolute joy, the "oh gosh YES" rush of feels while writing, posting, being so nervous about it as a new(ish) writer...oh, I love it. And I tumbled into so many communities and friendships and fan events and fests and, oh, the shared love - really, without this, I don't know where I'd be. So that's always got to be on a list of favorites. *hugs you all* Tagging people, oh, let's see... @musette22 @significantowl @ninemoons42 @thebestpersonherelovesbucky @rozf and anyone else who wants to! love you!

in an oc lore posting mood apparently. I've been wanting to make drawings/infographics or something for this lore for SOO LONG but obviously. I have not yet. so I'm just gonna write it out for nowwww.
humans (regular style) don't have "real" souls. they're basically just like Us IRL where we have the concept of that, but no actual proof. most humans pre-extinction live their whole lives this way, dying without ever having their souls "realized".
Mizrieta have souls. the souls exist, and they exist forever unless you go through the trouble of destroying them. along with their soul is their Base Black, which you can think of like "spirit glue". while souls are nearly 100% incorporeal, base black is "semi-corporeal" which allows it to do it's job of attaching the soul to corporeal physical matter, like a body. this is how Mizrieta shapeshift, they're able to control their base black, which in turn moves around their physical matter.
As I said before, reg. humans don't have souls OR base black, but they do "theoretically"? it's sorta non-existent until it is. humans can have their souls "realized" (which makes their base black "realized" as well). once this happens there is NO going back, ever. it's there until you go through the trouble of destroying it 👍 and human souls only ever become realized through contact with an already realized soul. which means most the time, contact with a Mizrieta. so humans who have souls pre-extinction are described as having "Mizrieta sickness". Humans won't know how to shapeshift, though.
Post-extinction, all reincarnated humans have realized souls. bc that's the only reason they COULD be reincarnated, their forever-existing soul is floating around, ready to be stuck in a new body. Reincarnated humans/humans with Mizrieta sickness are technically more similar to Mizrieta than they are with normal humans, (made of the same parts, body+baseblack+soul) but their perception/identity as humans sorta prevents them from realizing this.
#sorry for my long post swag#this doesnt even get into. where clones fit in on the Mizrieta/human continuum. but its fine shhhh#also . if this story was actually written or something. this would never outright be stated in words but:#humans do become Mizrieta. like. Mizrieta sickness is irreversible and you cant die. all it takes is for you to eventually learn how to#shapeshift. then boom. you are Mizrietaaaaaa. but humans dont really acknowledge this. they like their little humanity divide.#phx news#mvrckposting

𝓦𝓱𝔂, 𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮!
Welcome to my first blog here on tumblr! Thank you for stumbling across my account. While you’re here, allow me to introduce myself.
『About the writer
My name is Sam, and I am the creator of this Semi-selective roleplay account. My pronouns are he / him. I ask that you use that when referring to me. I am 21 years old, and have been writing for over nine years now. I am very passionate about the multiple fandoms I am apart of and am eager to learn more about them to better portray my muses. This is a multi-muse account, you can expect to see a post regarding each muse’s information soon! (Please be patient as this account is under heavy construction)
I write in a 3rd person literate novella style. While my responses may vary from time to time, I will try to keep my replies at least 3 paragraphs long. Please Keep in mind that my replies will vary on how busy I am that day, and how much I am given. Just try your best and have fun!
I personally prefer to write either in discord or in private DM’s, though we could always figure something out if there is another platform you prefer.
You can find me on discord as @haashunter#6005
『Current muses and fandoms
『Rules
1. I will not write with anyone under the age of 18! For my replies 𝘮𝘢𝘺 include;
The use of strong language, graphic violence, and in-depth descriptions of topics not suitable for children. (𝘐.𝘨. 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘴, 𝘦𝘵𝘤.) 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦. 𝘈𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴!
2. Absolutely no God-modding
I will not under any circumstances use my muse nor my writing to force upon a decision or action against your own. I only ask only for the same amount of respect. If there is something you wish to incorporate in the story I would prefer to be contacted outside of writing to figure out a way to interject it into the plot.
3. I will not tolerate any hate speech or bullying.
Out of respect for both of us, I would ask that we keep both politics and religion to ourselves. Especially so if wanting to use it to harm me or any other user of this platform. Unless explicitly left between muses or as a plot device. Which would’ve been given the ‘okay’ to do so beforehand. However, slurs of any kind will NOT be tolerated inside or outside of roleplay.
4. Please be respectful.
I ask that you return the same amount of respect I give you. If one of us feels uncomfortable with certain topics, we will respect boundaries such as these to keep writing fun for the both of us. After all, roleplay is meant as a fun pastime let’s try to keep it that way! :)
5. Please notify me if you will be unable to continue a roleplay, or If you will take longer than 2 weeks to reply.
This is rather self-explanatory. There is no need to notify me that you may be a bit late to reply, or if you are unable to reply within the next few days. We both have a life outside of writing after all! That being said, if at any point you loose muse for the roleplay or decide it is no longer fun please notify me! Maybe we could work something out to fix the issue.
6. I will not write SA or R*pe of any kind.
This is one heavy topic I will never write. Similarly I never want to see or involve it in any roleplay I am in. If at any time there is a mention of S*xual assault within the roleplay it will lead to a reminder.. If it happens more than once I will no longer be writing with you. This topic makes me incredibly uncomfortable, so please try to understand. I will show you the same respect when avoiding any triggers of your own. :)
7. Please no one sentence replies.
I understand everyone’s muse may fluctuate and similarly might the time you can devote to writing. However, I put effort into what I write and have taken time to better my understanding of the lore regarding the universe our characters are apart of. While I do not expect the length of my replies to be matched, I ask that you give me at least 2 paragraphs. So I can give you a reply I am proud of.
With all that in mind, please don’t hesitate to reach out and say hello! I cannot wait to meet you! :)

GST Registration Service Provider in Delhi: Everything You Need to Know
Getting a GST registration is a crucial first step for any Delhi startup, business owner, or entrepreneur. In order to simplify the taxation process in India, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented, substituting a single, uniform tax system for several indirect levies. It is strongly advised to get professional assistance for GST registration in order to guarantee compliance and hassle-free operation. We will walk you through the process of GST registration in this blog, including its significance, eligibility, and how to pick Delhi's top GST registration service provider.
What is GST Registration?
The process of registering your company under the Goods and Services Tax Act is known as GST registration. The business is given a special Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) upon registration, which enables it to collect and send GST to the government.
Who Needs GST Registration?
Any business or individual meeting the following criteria must register for GST:
Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs (for goods) or ₹20 lakhs (for services) in most states.
Businesses involved in inter-state supply of goods or services.
Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons.
E-commerce operators and sellers on platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.
Businesses required to pay tax under the reverse charge mechanism.
Input service distributors and agents of suppliers.
Voluntary registration is also allowed for small businesses below the threshold.
Benefits of GST Registration
Legal Compliance: Avoid penalties and stay compliant with tax laws.
Input Tax Credit: Claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on taxes paid for goods and services purchased.
Business Expansion: GSTIN is a must to engage in interstate trade and e-commerce.
Enhanced Credibility: A registered GST business appears more trustworthy and reliable to customers.
Seamless Operations: Simplify invoicing, returns filing, and tax payment.
Importance of Professional GST Registration Services
While GST registration can be completed online, the process involves document preparation, filing, and verifying data on the GST portal. Even minor errors may lead to delays or rejection. This is where professional GST registration service providers in Delhi play a crucial role:
Expert Guidance: Professionals understand the nuances of GST laws and ensure that the registration process is smooth and error-free.
Time-Saving: Delegating the process to experts saves time and effort, allowing you to focus on core business operations.
Error-Free Documentation: GST registration experts prepare and validate all required documents, avoiding discrepancies.
Quick Approval: Experts handle follow-ups and ensure quick issuance of GSTIN.
Post-Registration Support: GST professionals often provide services such as return filing, compliance, and audits after registration.
Documents Required for GST Registration
To apply for GST registration in Delhi, you need to submit the following documents:
For Proprietorship:
PAN card and Aadhaar card of the proprietor
Passport-sized photograph
Bank account details (a canceled cheque or bank statement)
Address proof of the business place (electricity bill, rent agreement, etc.)
For Partnership Firms:
Partnership deed
PAN cards of all partners
Photographs of all partners
Address proof and bank details
For Private Limited Companies:
Certificate of incorporation
PAN card of the company
Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA)
PAN and Aadhaar cards of directors
Bank details and address proof
Additional Documents for Special Cases:
Letter of authorization for authorized signatory
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for companies
Steps Involved in GST Registration
1. Visit the GST Portal
The application for GST registration begins on the official GST portal (www.gst.gov.in).
2. Filing the Application Form
The applicant must file Form GST REG-01, which includes basic details such as business name, PAN, address, and nature of the business.
3. Uploading Documents
Upload all the necessary documents mentioned above in a specified format.
4. Verification
After submission, the application undergoes verification. If all documents are accurate, a GSTIN will be issued.
5. Approval and GSTIN Issuance
Once approved, the unique GST Identification Number (GSTIN) is provided.
While the process may seem straightforward, many businesses experience delays due to incomplete documents or minor errors. GST registration service providers ensure that every step is handled professionally, minimizing delays.

Exposing The 'FSM SCHEME' - FSM SMART, TRADE12, HQBROKER, MTI MARKETS, MX TRADE
Online trading scam broker called FSM Smart is part of an incredibly large scam group, rarely spoken of or systematically exposed, due to many illegal unconnected brands and quite complicated and fluid network of shells, off-shores, PSPs and BPOs worldwide. Indeed smartly put, the name serves them well. At the time, the Fintelegram did a good job in exposing some parts and initiating the public attention, that was previously restricted to warnings to particular brands and occasional info scattered across many different forums. Apparently, they had problems because of it. However, the full story is yet to be told. We hope to bring more clarity and tie the missing parts. For sure it will not be a complete report, but joint efforts bear fruits, eventually. The full story should be revealed by the Law, not us or others. So far, the representatives of the law have done very little, mainly due to scheme’s multi jurisdictional and transnational nature.
The beneficial owner(s) are well hidden and this vast group obviously has no intention to stop. We shall try to do our best to unmask this ‘giant’ as much as possible. For the purpose of clarity, we shall generically call them ‘’the FSM scheme’’ since its brand FSM Smart is probably the biggest and longest standing one. This thread will be quite long and posted in successive parts, due to the size on info we aim to display on FPA, so you are warned that it will take patience and attention to follow. No shortcuts here or easy solutions.
The named ‘FSM scheme’ is comprised of (up to now known) following scam brands/trading styles: 1. MTI Markets www.mtimarkets.com 2. TradingBanks www.grizzly-ltd.com also t/a www.tradingbanks.com (own trade platform+TradingBanks) 3. MX Trade www.mxtrade.com 4. Trade12 www.trade12.com 5. HQBroker www.hqbroker.com (up to this thread, probably never associated to FSM Smart brand before) 6. FSM Smart www.fsmsmart.com, www.fsmsmarts.com, www.it.fsmsmart.net, www.fsmsmart-ltd.com
We are positive that more brands are involved or were a part of this. This organization is truly like an Octopus. But as any other such group, made the same mistakes when registering various companies and using 3rd parties providers, leaving traces behind. Now days, scammers are much more cautious, in general, as there is more focus on scams, narrowing down their operating boundaries. First brand operator of MX Trade scam appeared to be a 2014 est.&CySEC regulated/FCA-passport company R Capital Solutions Ltd, FCA, CySEC, CY registrar. Owner was a Romanian citizen residing in Cyprus, Mr. Victor Florin Safta, who had another linked company in the UK, F Capital Solutions LtdCompanies House Reg. CySEC regulated R Capital Solutions claimed they never operated MX Trade by issuing a public statement:
Anyhow, whoever the scam operator was, once compromised, quickly switched to 2014 est.&Belize incorporated Lau Global Services Corpwww.lgs-corp.com (now defunct BZ reg.search) operating MX Trade as of April 2015 (per T&C archive) which is a standard next step that all scammers make, when the brand is exposed. Lau Global was a full scam from day one, FB page still online, ASIC warning, CySEC warningIFSC warning, FSMA warning revealing that deposits went to Taris Financial Corp, not present in offshore leaks, Cypriot, Vanuatu, Belize or Marshal Islands registers, but with bank account in Cyprus, meaning it had to be incorporated somewhere to obtain a bank account. Possible best match via google search would be a few companies named Taris from Riga, Latvia, or Sofia, Bulgaria, but it’s just a random speculation with no actual meaning, or any insinuation towards those companies. Whatever it is, it’s obvious that they continued a scam. Lau Global, thanks to ICIJ offshore leaks, can be de-masked fully: Offshoreleaks-LauGlobal. Lau Global was the sole shareholder of 2014 Malta-incorporated Grizzly Ltd. Looks like the entire structure from the start was prepared in 2014 and, once the time came, just relocated, implying a plan/intention, from the start. Grizzly Ltd has one owner, Mr. Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, an Israeli national, with Philippines address, per offshore leaks. This was very indicative to us, as we had the information some time ago to pursue some lawyers and Philippines call centers direction, to get to the bottom of this scheme setup. So we did. Others who looked into this information just continued with having a name from offshore leaks, but no more. Let’s have a look at this Mr Avshalom more, shall we?
In offshore leaks, Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, linked to Philippines and Israel residency addresses, is the director and legal/judicial representative of Malta based Quick Solutions Ltd (2014) and Grizzly Ltd (2015), with his registered address (another company): BSD Trading Service Corp, Office O5M, Berthaphil Compound, Jose Abad Santos Avenue, Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines. Quick Solutions is owned by Belize IBC called High Moon International Inc, while Grizzly Ltd is owned by Belize IBC Lau Global Service Corp. Both Grizzly and Quick solutions have the identical Malta address registered. It looks like this:
Back to business. Following the trail of the lawyer and the Philippines address, we land at Pampanga, PH. A well-known place for numerous call-centers, as well as India for example, again industry-wide known facts. Truly a lot of customer care offices for hundreds of different businesses, an army of cheap multilingual workforce. Over the years, we all witnessed even some police raids to scam call centers, over there they even announce it on TV, with full press conference and detained agent’s close-ups on national frequencies. As for our story, the address in offshore leaks revealed Mr. Avshalom’s Pampanga address for BSD Trade Services Corp or rather, BSD Trading Services Corp. BSD Trading/Trade Serv. Corp is actually a Philippines BPO, a call-center, however incorporated in Singapore: link and maybe Hong Kong: HK search:
Why Hong Kong? We will prove a point shortly. Here we will just complete this sentence with public document where a certain Mr. Avshalom from Israel is indicated as the President (wow!) of GWU MKTG CORP. 08F Clark Center Berthaphil III, JAS Ave., CFZP, pls see: PH alien employment permit filling. GWU MKTG Corp website, domain-big-data tool shows registration from Cyprus (?) in 2015 link, while the company website kind of gives it away, doesn’t it?
Going back to already explained ties to BSD Trade Services Corp issue, a closer look at its nonfunctional website via domain-data tools, after checking this job add: call center job advertisement, one can learn quite a lot. Actually, too much… BSD Trade Services Corp domainbigdata check. The company registered a domain indicating a HK incorporation, domain is not privately registered but via the company (!), name and phone of the registrant also indicated, registrant’s name (2015) Mr. Richard Bula. Mr. Bula holds 31 registrations in his name, per same tool search: R-Bula-domain-registrations and the results are shocking, to say the least. Let’s memorize these information permanently here:
TradingBanks, MXTrade, Trade12 … absolute and pure scams, tied directly to specific PH call center. Also, we encourage you to further check listed domains or check recorded Richard Bula’s mail address ([email protected]) , as you will find this as well link – www.easyoption.us (Israeli Spot Option binary options broker, roof of many, many scams since 2011), tied to link, link, also Mr. Bula’s details are falsely tied to non-existing London address Badenerstrasse 549. It is actually shared-virtual Regus office space in Switzerland link, one of many deceiving attempts of scammers to confuse any investigator. Not happening. Going further with the same checks of www.easyoption.us domain, we get this result:
This Christina Constantinou is Cypriot resident (perhaps AGP Law, maybe some other company), Exo Capital Markets Ltd, Marshal Islands was the declared operator of Trade12.com huge scam, HQBroker brand emerges for the first time tied to the scheme group… however you turn this around, it is always the same group and same crew. Also, here we can identify another company, part of this vast scam group, Eyar Financial Corp Limited, Vanuatu, struck-off in 2018.
PART 2 MTI Markets scam broker was a bit different setup, more Europe oriented, involving directly different people, but ultimately all being connected in this generic FSM Scheme. Allegedly ran via Marshal Islands company MTI Investments Llc (search, closed in 2018). Warnings and reviews: FPA, link with operator names. MTI Markets main domain was registered like this link. 2015 registrant is the Belize company MTI Group Ltd t/a MTI Markets: link, domains screaming with known ‘exo’ and ‘mti’ pretexts. Indicated people were: Mr. Armin Ordodary, (Iranian with Cyprus residency, former Windsor Brokers employee), Mr. Ali Mahmoudi (Iran) and Mr. Mathew Bradley (??). You are encouraged to browse domain big data tools, so you can find them all and see the connections, explore domains etc. We will focus our attention here to Mr. Armin Ordodary now. For a very good reason. Armin Ordodary, an Iranian national, with Cyprus residency, is in the business for a long time. Picture from Windsor Broker celebration link and other publicly available ones:
Benrich Holdings Ltd, Cyprus link
Benrich Trading Ltd, Cyprus link
Bythos Yacht Management OU, Estonia link, link
Siao Ltd, Cyprus (see more domains under this one, incl. Twitter acct link) link
AGFM Ltd, Cyprus link
Nepcore (essentially CRM gateway provider, reg. via A. Ordodary link)
Possibly Orden Capital HK (domain big data, linked to him, typical names like ordencapital, ordenholdings etc) link
BizTech DOO, Serbia link
BizServe DOO, Serbia, formerly known as Upmarkt DOO link
Here is where we get to the FSM Smart scam broker, FB page, LinkedIn page. While Siao, Nepcore, Orden and Bythos were reserved for CRM, PSPs, payment intermediaries, essentially different work within the scam group, Benrich offices, possibly AGFM and certainly BizTech/Serve offices were boiler rooms with agents working primarily on FSM Smart scam, while other 2 brands of the ‘fantastic scam trio’ (Trade12 and HQBroker) were handled via other arms of this vast scheme group (in BPOs located in Ukraine, Albania and Georgia, will be elaborated later on). And since Mr. Armin Ordodary directly holds ownership in both Benrich and both BizTech/Serve, directly or indirectly, this leads to the conclusion that this young man’s role in this scam scheme is for MTIMarkets and FSMSmart scams primarily. In fact, we have verified information that Benrich Holdings Cyprus was or still is a place where agents work, mainly in English and Italian language, while the Serbian subsidiary of Benrich, Upmarkt/Bizserve (allegedly closed due to bad results) was a so-called FTD center, acquiring new clients for FSM Smart scheme.
Serbian boiler room - Upmarkt doo Companies extracts prove Benrich holds stake in Serbian subsidiary and Armin’s ownership of another one, as well as local name change :
Cyprus boiler room – Benrich Holdings Ltd
A place where apparently Retention agents operated. Besides English language, this was or still is a place where most of FSM Smart scams in Italian language happen. Few of the agents operating at one point in that office, between 2018-2019, per LinkedIn reveal that a spinoff facility was probably used for scamming, as well - Topright Trading Limited Cyprus, link:
link retention agent (note previous engagement in exposed boiler Smardis doo)
I have not personally investigated all of the information in this thread. What I can tell you is that someone doesn't want you to see it. Someone went to a great deal of effort to try to get the FPA to remove all the information Scam Reporters posted here.
Another site owner filed a malicious and false DMCA against the FPA after Part 1 of this thread was posted. This site is filled with news items that appear to be borrowed or stolen from major news sites. In the middle of all of the latest major news items taken from news sites, a copy of Post 1 was retroactively inserted.
The complaining site is based on WordPress. WordPress makes backdating a post easy. Years ago, one of ForexGen's many spammers tried to "prove" something at the FPA had existed for more than a short period of time. The scammers behind that backdated a blog post to before the original ForexPeaceArmy.com registration date.
In this case, they first posted a backdated version of Part 1 of this post and DMCAed the FPA, demanding removal of material that was originally published here. The FPA disputed this, and then they followed up with a backdated copy of Part 2.
More details coming very soon.
PART 3
In this part, we will focus our attention to money flow in the FSM part, followed by more close ties between FSM SMART, TRADE12 and HQBROKER, obviously set for Part 4. We actually believe this entire FSM Scheme Thread will have at least parts 4 and 5. Maybe even 6? We told you it would be complicated, so hold on. And stay tuned. A lot more is coming. And a few surprise guests to back us up here with their stories and/or documents.
FSM SMART As we previously stated and proved, all of the 3 brands are part of the same scheme, same, for now unidentified UBOs in the end. Apparently, some dangerous people, as stated already. Ok, noted. We are neither 'impressed' nor frightened. In fact, it should be the other way around, if they have any 'smarts', because of the ongoing investigations. Slow, but getting there...
Now, let's see who are the operators (PSPs, intermediaries and a few more boiler rooms), where does the client money go and who receives it. These information may become crucial for anyone aiming to recover his ''lost'' (stolen) funds.
In the FSM Smart(s) T&C (here:link), bottom of the page 6, FSM Smart declares its operator/owner to be both FSMSmart Ltd (Marshal Islands) and Memphis Investments Sp. z o.o. (Poland).
T&C further point that in case of misunderstanding btw the Company and the Dear Valued Client that was just ripped off by the boiler room staff and FSM's rigged MT4 replenished by Virtual Editor (default losses with FSM usually happen on minors and exotics, like RON/USD or TRY/USD), the first instance would be https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/, followed by the Marshal Islands Court as the final destination.
This Polish legal entity Memphis Investments Sp. z o.o. points to a quite interesting direction. Company details here: link. Authorized person, a lady called Pawluk Patrycja. She holds other nominations in the registrar (link) so she is not that important (a nominee director/holder, so called 'monkey', paid to register a local company, however legally liable, weather she likes it or not). Those registered in the Memphis ownership structure, on the other hand, are important, as they lead to a new direction of the FSM SCHEME environment: Memphis breakdown. As any other similar company used for the same illicit business, first ones registered as owner(s) that committed capital, are quickly removed and an actual person or persons are delegated. They do the actual business. In Memphis Poland case, it was like this:
So, the Suliman's were another intermediary nominees, hence we won't bother with them as well. Mr Rosenbaum is obviously the main guy there. Mr Rosenbaum also holds position in Estonian company Quantum Team OU, link, financial, admin, support activities. This is actually a standard setup for scams, these companies are necessary for either moving the money or registering as a merchant with a PSP or crypto-platform (today its both), to be able to move money deposited by FSM scheme clients to far away destinations. And it's not just reserved for FSMSmart brand, no... Just with a simple google check of Enigma GRC Ltd shows warnings for illegal and fraudulent brands operated by Enigma GRC, hence here and now officially added to FSM Scheme scam list and from direct FSMSmart environment/operators:
- Income Class - True Capital Pro - Profitix
Valuable links of warnings and info: ASIC, NZ.FMA, Consob,...you get the picture. After this relatively short part, it can be more clear why would an offshore FSMSmart require UK arbitration, while at all times they claim to be located in Switzerland (Lucern), although off course they are not. However, Mr Mordechai Moshe Rosenbaum is in the UK. And possibly in the USA/Canada as well. Where actually most of the FSM Scheme client deposits went. But that's the story for the following parts.
PART 4
This part 4 will deal with Trade12, HQBroker and FSMSmart(s) ties more closely. As proved previously, the scams are a part of the same racket. FSMSmart is to some extent covered here. Let's move on to the other 2 ones.
HQBroker scam has many bad reviews and warnings worldwide, link. Google them if you like, here's FCA . Targeted countries mainly Canada, Australia, New Zealand, a bit of UK and maybe some other Asian countries. Operated nominally by Capzone Invest Ltd, Marshal Islands, with fake Hong Kong address on their website.
Capzone Invest Ltd is now defunct/closed, as of May 2020. HQBroker still operates normally.
Capzone's alleged website is also not accessible, www.capzone-invest.com, domain data shows no info. There is (was) apparently a company with the same name in Bulgaria, but official registrar does not show it existed, so possibly a shared space location, under another name:
Exo Capital Markets Ltd, to repeat here again, lists as registrant for many of the scheme scams: Exo on domain big data. Apparently, this Exo Capital Markets ltd is now changed with Trade12 scam to some Turbo Trading Limited
Time does fly...Finally, continuing part 4.
HQBroker brand, equally blatant scam as Trade12 and part of the very same scheme, was meant more for Asia-Pacific regions and the Americas (USA excluded, they were not that stupid). Europeans too but, mainly those regions. Aussies and Canadians were favorite, big money was taken few years ago.
Then 'bad times' hit Trade12/HQBroker scammers. Apparently, Trade12 got greedy and engaged with local people as leads to be scammed. Then in December 2018, an event took place in Ukraine, where the actual boiler rooms were located. Locals started complaining as they were loosing all money and eventually Ukrainian cyber police had to intervene - they raided offices, apartments and arrested many, seized money, IT equipment, drugs, documents and all sort of things a 'normal' boiler room contains.
Ukrainian delegated court was after that overwhelmed with things to process in this case, however it was not important to foreign victims as they could not legally participate, we were explained. Pity.
3 things are interesting regarding this short press release: 2 pieces of information from it and a chain of events triggered by it. First, the news comment section:
So, apparently the scam group walks free, which is not a surprise, as we have reviewed short version of the indictments of the Ukrainian court and it was very confusing, lacks consistency and does not determine who did what and to whom; furthermore, it is restricted only to Ukrainian citizens - victims of a scam, while many foreign victims are not even mentioned. The possible next scam comes in the form of this https://lblv.com/ LBLV Ltd, Seychelles. The broker does have a Seychelles FSA license, check via SFSA (better then nothing) but fails to state where the actual call center is (only registered Seychelles address indicated). This could be the standard business model, where IBs are engaged, which is fine, as long as the IB acts accordingly. Which they usually don't. Many brands were destroyed this way, but also raises the big question - does the broker know what the IB is doing in reality and how does the broker check their daily activities to ensure full compliance with the legal requirements across the globe are met? Finally, the Ukrainian financial authorities have warned the public about LBLV brand, which is in light of these events, very bad: link. But, we cannot conclude this, its just a hear say. Then, at the end of the Finance Magnates news, the reporter concludes with a note: 'After the publication of this article, Igor Pejovic, the alleged Director of HQBroker reached out to Finance Magnates. Pejovic claims that the offices raided by Ukrainian police belonged to an affiliate company, one that HQBroker does not own, which the broker uses to source data and leads. Finance Magnates cannot confirm the veracity of this claim and would add that reviews of HQBroker are overwhelmingly negative and replete with assertions that the broker operates fraudulently.' Although we cannot confirm 100%, the odds are that this gentleman is a Montenegrin citizen, holding a call center in Belgrade, Serbia, called THEIA DOO (Theia Ltd), established in May 2017 and with current address where several other boiler rooms are located already (confirmed in our other threads), for example Parogan DOO (address Boulevard Milutina Milankovica 9, Belgrade, RS). Unpleasant coincidence or how many coincidences till 'chance' is ruled out? Incorporation act, publicly available
Finally, the strange coincidence regarding an event that happened at the exact same time as the boiler room raid in mid December 2018. In the earlier parts of this long and exhausting thread (that will for sure require a summary in the end, to recap and digest the exposed), we pointed out that Mr Armin Ordodary's Serbian branch of Benrich Holdings Cyprus, called Upmarkt Ltd, that handled FSMSmart brand (FTD center) was closed due to quite bad results. However, it ceased operations suddenly and instantaneously, within a day or two, during early December 2018, which strangely coincides with the Ukrainian boiler room bust (first 2 weeks of December 2018). Tipped off by Kyiv 'friends'? Then, one more thing happened: another Armin Ordodary company, Estonian Bythos Yachts Management OÜ had a sudden first cash move on its bank account, in Q4 2018. We will assume it's very late 2018, December...payout, extracting money, moving it, or a lucky shot and a first yacht client of the company? Judge for your selves. For us, there are too many coincidences. Btw, apparently the company gains lots of clients with yachts in 2019 and 2020, perfectly normal to have increased turnover during covid lockdowns, while cruisers, cargos and air companies lay off staff massively, right?
Going forward, there is a FPA member Scam-Rescue, a Canadian guy, that got scammed and posted a review here but also started his own website, that we had the pleasure to see grow over the past few years, from simple and honestly angry post to a developed actions against such scams in general and possible ways through the system to retrieve lost funds (chargeback options). We are not promoting it here but state that this brave young man took a stand, all alone - and made it. Bravo! We'll show you some interesting info re his 'case'. Coming up soon...

FSM Smart
Online trading scam broker called FSM Smart is part of an incredibly large scam group, rarely spoken of or systematically exposed, due to many illegal unconnected brands and quite complicated and fluid network of shells, off-shores, PSPs and BPOs worldwide. Indeed smartly put, the name serves them well. At the time, the Fintelegram did a good job in exposing some parts and initiating the public attention, that was previously restricted to warnings to particular brands and occasional info scattered across many different forums. Apparently, they had problems because of it. However, the full story is yet to be told. We hope to bring more clarity and tie the missing parts. For sure it will not be a complete report, but joint efforts bear fruits, eventually. The full story should be revealed by the Law, not us or others. So far, the representatives of the law have done very little, mainly due to scheme’s multi jurisdictional and transnational nature.
The beneficial owner(s) are well hidden and this vast group obviously has no intention to stop. We shall try to do our best to unmask this ‘giant’ as much as possible. For the purpose of clarity, we shall generically call them ‘’the FSM scheme’’ since its brand FSM Smart is probably the biggest and longest standing one. This thread will be quite long and posted in successive parts, due to the size on info we aim to display on FPA, so you are warned that it will take patience and attention to follow. No shortcuts here or easy solutions.
The named ‘FSM scheme’ is comprised of (up to now known) following scam brands/trading styles: 1. MTI Markets www.mtimarkets.com 2. TradingBanks www.grizzly-ltd.com also t/a www.tradingbanks.com (own trade platform+TradingBanks) 3. MX Trade www.mxtrade.com 4. Trade12 www.trade12.com 5. HQBroker www.hqbroker.com (up to this thread, probably never associated to FSM Smart brand before) 6. FSM Smart www.fsmsmart.com, www.fsmsmarts.com, www.it.fsmsmart.net, www.fsmsmart-ltd.com
We are positive that more brands are involved or were a part of this. This organization is truly like an Octopus. But as any other such group, made the same mistakes when registering various companies and using 3rd parties providers, leaving traces behind. Now days, scammers are much more cautious, in general, as there is more focus on scams, narrowing down their operating boundaries. First brand operator of MX Trade scam appeared to be a 2014 est.&CySEC regulated/FCA-passport company R Capital Solutions Ltd, FCA, CySEC, CY registrar. Owner was a Romanian citizen residing in Cyprus, Mr. Victor Florin Safta, who had another linked company in the UK, F Capital Solutions LtdCompanies House Reg. CySEC regulated R Capital Solutions claimed they never operated MX Trade by issuing a public statement:
Anyhow, whoever the scam operator was, once compromised, quickly switched to 2014 est.&Belize incorporated Lau Global Services Corpwww.lgs-corp.com (now defunct BZ reg.search) operating MX Trade as of April 2015 (per T&C archive) which is a standard next step that all scammers make, when the brand is exposed. Lau Global was a full scam from day one, FB page still online, ASIC warning, CySEC warningIFSC warning, FSMA warning revealing that deposits went to Taris Financial Corp, not present in offshore leaks, Cypriot, Vanuatu, Belize or Marshal Islands registers, but with bank account in Cyprus, meaning it had to be incorporated somewhere to obtain a bank account. Possible best match via google search would be a few companies named Taris from Riga, Latvia, or Sofia, Bulgaria, but it’s just a random speculation with no actual meaning, or any insinuation towards those companies. Whatever it is, it’s obvious that they continued a scam. Lau Global, thanks to ICIJ offshore leaks, can be de-masked fully: Offshoreleaks-LauGlobal. Lau Global was the sole shareholder of 2014 Malta-incorporated Grizzly Ltd. Looks like the entire structure from the start was prepared in 2014 and, once the time came, just relocated, implying a plan/intention, from the start. Grizzly Ltd has one owner, Mr. Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, an Israeli national, with Philippines address, per offshore leaks. This was very indicative to us, as we had the information some time ago to pursue some lawyers and Philippines call centers direction, to get to the bottom of this scheme setup. So we did. Others who looked into this information just continued with having a name from offshore leaks, but no more. Let’s have a look at this Mr Avshalom more, shall we?
In offshore leaks, Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, linked to Philippines and Israel residency addresses, is the director and legal/judicial representative of Malta based Quick Solutions Ltd (2014) and Grizzly Ltd (2015), with his registered address (another company): BSD Trading Service Corp, Office O5M, Berthaphil Compound, Jose Abad Santos Avenue, Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines. Quick Solutions is owned by Belize IBC called High Moon International Inc, while Grizzly Ltd is owned by Belize IBC Lau Global Service Corp. Both Grizzly and Quick solutions have the identical Malta address registered.
And you can verify all via this link: ICIJ offshoreleaks. By the way, Belize IBCs are defunct now (check BZ reg). Grizzly Ltd was the operator of another big scam, TradingBanks, at the time falsely claiming to be incorporated in British Virgin Islands as some bogus St. World Trade Inc, receiving BVI FSC warning. Furthermore, FPA 1-star review, then multiple warnings from FSB, domicile MFSA (for both TradingBanks and MX Trade, warning), FINMA, CONSOB, even Belize IFSC (warning), tradingbanks warnings, give final 2016 verdict – pure scam, operated by the above people and companies, no doubt about it. Grizzly Ltd has a secretary listed, one Mr David Meli link, a lawyer from a famous Michael Kyprianou (MT, CY) law practice office, that was used as nominee registrar intermediary. Mr Meli has a long list of offshore incorporations for their clients (check offshore leaks) which is not forbidden off course, it’s a good business and a sensitive service. Furthermore, Michael Kyprianou & Co Llc is a member of such esteemed groups like IFG (International Fraud Group, link), where one learns the office expanded its subsidiaries from CY to Greece, Malta and Ukraine. No presumptions here, just pointing out the well-known fact that many scam operators choose Paphos, Kiev, and other locations for their business. Any conclusion drawn by the readers here is their free choice solely, we do not even insinuate any connection, but merely state the industry-wide known general facts. Especially when it comes to Paphos, CY…By the way, besides Malta, Mr. Avshalom holds positions in two more companies in Cyprus. In Paphos, Cyprus, to be precise: Tevtach Ltd link (completely new one, May 2020) and A.VV.L Investments Ltd link (fresh, 2019). Sidetrack - with this Tevtach Ltd registered persons, one name search show interesting results- if not a football player or self-proclaimed LinkedIn lawyer with 1 connection, then it is most probably this Elior Vaknin, from Israeli Bynet Group, link, link, link. Just wondering what is a customer care representative from Rad Bynet Group (telecommunication, BPO, telephony, internet, outsourcing/offshoring, IP phones, etc) doing serving as co-director with Mr Avshalom, proven to be involved in illicit and questionable businesses? But that would be his private matter, off course. Finally, maybe it’s not him. This cannot be confirmed now. But to prove we are not malicious at all, just try to state the facts or obvious indications, here is one nice achievement of Mr. Avshalom, proving he is an interesting individual indeed – a co-inventor of an important and useful patent: IL patent registrar 2018, combined scissors and comb for books.
Back to business. Following the trail of the lawyer and the Philippines address, we land at Pampanga, PH. A well-known place for numerous call-centers, as well as India for example, again industry-wide known facts. Truly a lot of customer care offices for hundreds of different businesses, an army of cheap multilingual workforce. Over the years, we all witnessed even some police raids to scam call centers, over there they even announce it on TV, with full press conference and detained agent’s close-ups on national frequencies. As for our story, the address in offshore leaks revealed Mr. Avshalom’s Pampanga address for BSD Trade Services Corp or rather, BSD Trading Services Corp. BSD Trading/Trade Serv. Corp is actually a Philippines BPO, a call-center, however incorporated in Singapore: link and maybe Hong Kong
Why Hong Kong? We will prove a point shortly. Here we will just complete this sentence with public document where a certain Mr. Avshalom from Israel is indicated as the President (wow!) of GWU MKTG CORP. 08F Clark Center Berthaphil III, JAS Ave., CFZP, pls see: PH alien employment permit filling. GWU MKTG Corp website, domain-big-data tool shows registration from Cyprus (?) in 2015 link, while the company website kind of gives it away, doesn’t it?

The company registered a domain indicating a HK incorporation, domain is not privately registered but via the company (!), name and phone of the registrant also indicated, registrant’s name (2015) Mr. Richard Bula. Mr. Bula holds 31 registrations in his name, per same tool search: R-Bula-domain-registrations and the results are shocking, to say the least.

We are positive that more brands are involved or were a part of this. This organization is truly like an Octopus. But as any other such group, made the same mistakes when registering various companies and using 3rd parties providers, leaving traces behind. Now days, scammers are much more cautious, in general, as there is more focus on scams, narrowing down their operating boundaries. First brand operator of MX Trade scam appeared to be a 2014 est.&CySEC regulated/FCA-passport company R Capital Solutions Ltd, FCA, CySEC, CY registrar. Owner was a Romanian citizen residing in Cyprus, Mr. Victor Florin Safta, who had another linked company in the UK, F Capital Solutions LtdCompanies House Reg. CySEC regulated R Capital Solutions claimed they never operated MX Trade by issuing a public statement:
Anyhow, whoever the scam operator was, once compromised, quickly switched to 2014 est.&Belize incorporated Lau Global Services Corpwww.lgs-corp.com (now defunct BZ reg.search) operating MX Trade as of April 2015 (per T&C archive) which is a standard next step that all scammers make, when the brand is exposed. Lau Global was a full scam from day one, FB page still online, ASIC warning, CySEC warningIFSC warning, FSMA warning revealing that deposits went to Taris Financial Corp, not present in offshore leaks, Cypriot, Vanuatu, Belize or Marshal Islands registers, but with bank account in Cyprus, meaning it had to be incorporated somewhere to obtain a bank account. Possible best match via google search would be a few companies named Taris from Riga, Latvia, or Sofia, Bulgaria, but it’s just a random speculation with no actual meaning, or any insinuation towards those companies. Whatever it is, it’s obvious that they continued a scam. Lau Global, thanks to ICIJ offshore leaks, can be de-masked fully: Offshoreleaks-LauGlobal. Lau Global was the sole shareholder of 2014 Malta-incorporated Grizzly Ltd. Looks like the entire structure from the start was prepared in 2014 and, once the time came, just relocated, implying a plan/intention, from the start. Grizzly Ltd has one owner, Mr. Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, an Israeli national, with Philippines address, per offshore leaks. This was very indicative to us, as we had the information some time ago to pursue some lawyers and Philippines call centers direction, to get to the bottom of this scheme setup. So we did. Others who looked into this information just continued with having a name from offshore leaks, but no more. Let’s have a look at this Mr Avshalom more, shall we?
In offshore leaks, Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, linked to Philippines and Israel residency addresses, is the director and legal/judicial representative of Malta based Quick Solutions Ltd (2014) and Grizzly Ltd (2015), with his registered address (another company): BSD Trading Service Corp, Office O5M, Berthaphil Compound, Jose Abad Santos Avenue, Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines. Quick Solutions is owned by Belize IBC called High Moon International Inc, while Grizzly Ltd is owned by Belize IBC Lau Global Service Corp. Both Grizzly and Quick solutions have the identical Malta address registered. Back to business. Following the trail of the lawyer and the Philippines address, we land at Pampanga, PH. A well-known place for numerous call-centers, as well as India for example, again industry-wide known facts. Truly a lot of customer care offices for hundreds of different businesses, an army of cheap multilingual workforce. Over the years, we all witnessed even some police raids to scam call centers, over there they even announce it on TV, with full press conference and detained agent’s close-ups on national frequencies. As for our story, the address in offshore leaks revealed Mr. Avshalom’s Pampanga address for BSD Trade Services Corp or rather, BSD Trading Services Corp. BSD Trading/Trade Serv. Corp is actually a Philippines BPO, a call-center, however incorporated in Singapore. Going back to already explained ties to BSD Trade Services Corp issue, a closer look at its nonfunctional website via domain-data tools, after checking this job add: call center job advertisement, one can learn quite a lot. Actually, too much… BSD Trade Services Corp domainbigdata check. The company registered a domain indicating a HK incorporation, domain is not privately registered but via the company (!), name and phone of the registrant also indicated, registrant’s name (2015) Mr. Richard Bula. Mr. Bula holds 31 registrations in his name, per same tool search: R-Bula-domain-registrations and the results are shocking, to say the least.

Exposing The 'FSM SCHEME'
Online trading scam broker called FSM Smart is part of an incredibly large scam group, rarely spoken of or systematically exposed, due to many illegal unconnected brands and quite complicated and fluid network of shells, off-shores, PSPs and BPOs worldwide. Indeed smartly put, the name serves them well. At the time, the Fintelegram did a good job in exposing some parts and initiating the public attention, that was previously restricted to warnings to particular brands and occasional info scattered across many different forums. Apparently, they had problems because of it. However, the full story is yet to be told. We hope to bring more clarity and tie the missing parts. For sure it will not be a complete report, but joint efforts bear fruits, eventually. The full story should be revealed by the Law, not us or others. So far, the representatives of the law have done very little, mainly due to scheme’s multi jurisdictional and transnational nature.
The beneficial owner(s) are well hidden and this vast group obviously has no intention to stop. We shall try to do our best to unmask this ‘giant’ as much as possible. For the purpose of clarity, we shall generically call them ‘’the FSM scheme’’ since its brand FSM Smart is probably the biggest and longest standing one. This thread will be quite long and posted in successive parts, due to the size on info we aim to display on FPA, so you are warned that it will take patience and attention to follow. No shortcuts here or easy solutions.

CySEC regulated R Capital Solutions claimed they never operated MX Trade by issuing a public statement:
Anyhow, whoever the scam operator was, once compromised, quickly switched to 2014 est.&Belize incorporated Lau Global Services Corpwww.lgs-corp.com (now defunct BZ reg.search) operating MX Trade as of April 2015 (per T&C archive) which is a standard next step that all scammers make, when the brand is exposed. Lau Global was a full scam from day one, FB page still online, ASIC warning, CySEC warningIFSC warning, FSMA warning revealing that deposits went to Taris Financial Corp, not present in offshore leaks, Cypriot, Vanuatu, Belize or Marshal Islands registers, but with bank account in Cyprus, meaning it had to be incorporated somewhere to obtain a bank account. Possible best match via google search would be a few companies named Taris from Riga, Latvia, or Sofia, Bulgaria, but it’s just a random speculation with no actual meaning, or any insinuation towards those companies. Whatever it is, it’s obvious that they continued a scam. Lau Global, thanks to ICIJ offshore leaks, can be de-masked fully: Offshoreleaks-LauGlobal. Lau Global was the sole shareholder of 2014 Malta-incorporated Grizzly Ltd. Looks like the entire structure from the start was prepared in 2014 and, once the time came, just relocated, implying a plan/intention, from the start. Grizzly Ltd has one owner, Mr. Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, an Israeli national, with Philippines address, per offshore leaks. This was very indicative to us, as we had the information some time ago to pursue some lawyers and Philippines call centers direction, to get to the bottom of this scheme setup. So we did. Others who looked into this information just continued with having a name from offshore leaks, but no more. Let’s have a look at this Mr Avshalom more, shall we?
In offshore leaks, Shlomo Matan Shalom Avshalom, linked to Philippines and Israel residency addresses, is the director and legal/judicial representative of Malta based Quick Solutions Ltd (2014) and Grizzly Ltd (2015), with his registered address (another company): BSD Trading Service Corp, Office O5M, Berthaphil Compound, Jose Abad Santos Avenue, Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines. Quick Solutions is owned by Belize IBC called High Moon International Inc, while Grizzly Ltd is owned by Belize IBC Lau Global Service Corp. Both Grizzly and Quick solutions have the identical Malta address registered.
