Now JohnLocke is attacking his own advertiser WorldTrust using fake users 🤣

The trouble with increasing adoption of AI is that you can’t differentiate one idiot scammer using ChatGPT from another.

Today JohnLocke woke up and felt the urge to talk to himself. All the latest posts are from fake users! 🤣

It's so amateurish. He does this often, spamming threads with his fake accounts (that have been dead for months) with pointless and standard questions within a timeframe of minutes. How does he think no one notices this? Pure stupidity most likely

@cuno is too much of an asshole to be fake.

my life improved vastly since I've stopped checking that forum ;)
I've just loaded one of @JohnLocke 's threads (yeah those "Expert Tax & Offshore Compliance Insights" 🤣) into AI detector...
guess what?
Human 0%
"Expert Insights 🤣:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:"

Nobody is more asshole than JohnLocke, that’s a good way to spot him

One may wonder what happened that made him publish this 'disclaimer'

yeah i am banned too, he banned my whole IP subnet on cloudflare(the IP i was using when I got banned as user I suppose).
Still can access with different IPs...
one could join with multiple VPNs IPs and get banned... so that he'll slowly ban whole internet and nobody will be able to join but himself 😏
I gave a quick skim to new posts and it's really empty, just bumping old threads, some random noise, and some new scammers, oops sorry i meant providers.

Aside of some gems like this one in the dubai thread 🤣

I am banned too. Everybody is banned. Especially the victims of his various scams.
You must be really motivated these days to access Offshorecorptalk, as you have to pass so many levels of scrutiny to be admitted into that useless place

I just checked the posts there today and it's so bad!

For one, the forum is close to dead (well, this one isn't super active, yet? but expanding).

But the advice there is so contradictory and useless. Especially that "ActionMan" who is just writing essays with 4o and absolutely LARPing as an offshore expert with his secret UAE crypto off-ramp solutions. Lol!

A naive user asks in a new thread whether one of the advertisers is trustworthy, as the newly built website seems somewhat fishy to him.

Hilariously enough, JohnLocke decides to answer with his alts and sow confusion.

Ultimately, John Locke decides to step onto the scene himself and respond personally.

Naturally, this will not hold up legally in any way. The baker who sells his bread is also responsible for mold on his bread.

It has happened often enough that influencers offering crypto pump and dumps have been prosecuted. You are just as responsible because you offer it to a broad audience.

So here we go, another layer of the onion peeled back and surprise surprise: it stinks.

Turns out OCT owner @JohnLocke isn’t just the benevolent shepherd of lost offshore lambs, but the same guy behind CClogic, one of those bottom-tier, reselling-other-people’s-services kind of companies. The smoking gun? The forum itself was never about “community” or “knowledge sharing.” It was born as nothing more than a marketing funnel for his little resale shop. Proof right here in this vintage gem: Offshore Company in Hong Kong, Belize, Seychelles, Panama or BVI - Read Here!

And since shady ventures have a short shelf life, they didn’t even last long before the BVI FSC caught them running unauthorized services and slapped them with a public warning: CC Logic LLC - Advisory Warning No. 15 of 2009 | British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission

Now for the cherry on this clown sundae: the self-promotional thread where a supposed happy customer cheers for CClogic’s brilliance… posted on the same forum that just happens to belong to them.
Keep the good work guys @ cclogic!

Dig a little and you see it’s nothing but fake accounts clapping for themselves. Take @EliasIT: just another alias for @JohnLocke. The avatar, the join date, the consecutive registration number, the nationality (Danish, what a coincidence), all line up too neatly. Just another sock puppet in a sock drawer already overflowing.

So, next time someone tells you OffshoreCorpTalk is a legitimate space for offshore wisdom, remember: it started life as a cheap marketing gimmick for a service provider that regulators had to shut down, and evolved into a full scale scam. The emperor has no clothes, but he sure has a lot of fake usernames.

Wait....

What if his WHOLE raison d'être is to harvest a HONEYPOT in exchange for a SENTENCE reduction for when they come with the handcuffs for him? 🙄

He is not that smart.
Don’t forget that he is running away from Denmark for a big tax case of… how much was it? 80k Eur ? 🤣
We always overestimate intelligence and underestimate stupidity.

I agree. Offshorecorptalk is a cheap fraud scheme, created for promoting the scam services of its owner and later expanded into a few collateral scams.

Just checked if I'm banned. I'm not. But I use a different username. Not that I've posted on there in over a year, so I don't care. This JohnLocke guy seems really, really thin-skinned, almost to the point of comedy.
