The Real Reason I Was Banned
What I Really Did on OffshoreCorpTalk — In Their Own Words
Before we get into the censorship, the post deletions, the silent edits, and the permanent ban disguised as a 7-day timeout…
Let's start with how OffshoreCorpTalk themselves described me before I became inconvenient:
"One of the most recognized names on our forum and for some good reasons."
"He runs businesses in a few different sectors and has quite a bit of experience in some of the topics discussed."
"Most of [his guidance] is based on research he conducts himself."
"One day, he thinks he'll put all his guidance together under a life coaching program. He'll definitely let us know first and we're obviously looking forward to such great news."

The OCT staff post about JohnnyDoe
That was me. JohnnyDoe.
Helpful. Respected. Research-based. Actively contributing. For years. And with over 7,000 messages.
But then I posted something they didn't like — and that's when the deletions, censorship, and permanent silencing began.
The ban alert
When I was banned, the popup message said it was for 7 days. Cute.
No response to appeals. No response to emails. No explanation.
In reality, it's a permanent ban — they just didn't bother to update the message.
Apparently, keeping the ban notice accurate was too much trouble. Probably because the mods were too busy combing through other users' private messages for sport.
You'd think a forum obsessed with "professionalism" could at least update a popup.

Why I Was Really Banned from OffshoreCorpTalk
Let's clear the fog.
They'll say it was "rule violations." They'll imply I was disruptive, toxic, or didn't play nice with the self-anointed gatekeepers.
But as you'll see below — with full screenshots and uncensored messages — none of that holds water.
The private messages exchanged with JohnLocke
1. No Rule Was Broken
I wasn't banned for spamming, scamming, or breaking any actual forum rules. I simply shared information — inconvenient information — that didn't fit the narrative. My messages were factual, respectful, and on-topic.
That's now punishable by exile and damnatio memoriae.

2. I Spoke the Unspeakable: The Risk of Nominees
I posted a well-documented thread about the legal risks of nominee structures — how they can backfire, how real UBOs can lose everything, and how courts often ignore backroom agreements.
The thread was deleted. Why? Because it struck too close to home for the moderator/owner — JohnLocke — who happens to offer exactly those nominee "solutions."

3. They Edit, Delete, and Mute — Silently
This part's even worse. On OCT:
- Threads are silently deleted when they're too honest.
- Posts are locked the moment discussion becomes inconvenient.
- Replies are blocked without explanation.
- And yes — some users have had their posts edited by moderators after publishing.
Nothing screams "transparency" like rewriting other people's words, right?

4. The Name That Must Not Be Typed
In the latest twist, even mentioning "JohnnyDoe" now gets your post deleted or your account flagged.
Not insults. Not spam. Just the name.
Apparently, I've become OCT's version of Voldemort — which might be funny if it weren't such a sad reflection of how small their minds really are.
This is called damnatio memoriae — the ancient tactic of erasing someone not just from the conversation, but from existence itself. As if by deleting a name, you could undo the ideas, the impact, the truth.
They didn't just ban me — they banned my name.
It's the digital version of what Stalin did to Trotsky: vanished from photos, books, and official history.
Or as Orwell put it in 1984:
"He did not exist: he never existed."
But the web never forgets…
If you needed proof that truth hurts, and that this forum has turned into a paranoid echo chamber — there you go.

To the fake champion of liberalism and free speech running the one-man operation known as OffshoreCorpTalk:
"It is one thing to persuade, another to command; one thing to press with arguments, another with penalties."
