What happened to JohnnyDoe?

@tacokai @icecold @jayM I also did not pay attention to the thread in question. Could somebody maybe give us a short summary of what went down?
@W Fish for the lifetime membership I had the same doubt once too. You will get multiple warnings before anything happens. And what Johnny Doe concerns, I think he probably made a lot of money with his off-ramping that the membership fee is not the problem.

Thank you. These are rules. Which one of them was broken, how?

Expense invoices with cashback (in crypto). Crypto on/offramp with invoices. Crypto SOF solutions.
I think it is the last point here:

And what happened is probably best described here:

If anybody read the discussion and know what exactly he posted, some of us are interested in.
@W Fish not sure if you are angry at me. If you are, I hope there is a way to clear things up. I never intended to do any harm to you or bother you.
someone never read OCT's terms and conditions you must confirm you have read and understood.
Now it's clear for me why so many are surprised about warnings and bans rof/%
What is funny? Can you point out which rule was broken? Where and how? Please.

@W Fish maybe you ignored me. Check my post above. You can read the rules here:

It clearly states:
And if you read @JohnLocke's comment here:
https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/th...r-cheap-real-world-example.47541/#post-350761
You can see that he was apparently attacking @icecold:
Ironically, I think it was @JohnnyDoe himself who wanted such rules implemented after all.
If anybody who read the discussion wants to share what JohnnyDoe wrote, I think there are a few here who would appreciate it. Not only me and @W Fish, but also @Konstanz etc.
Also, @W Fish still waiting for a PM from you.

Why is this mantra not being followed here? JohnnyDoe wanted to silence others here, last time icecold. That's the problem.
Furthermore, JohnnyDoe pushed for stricter rules in order to get other users banned faster. He got the rules and fell victim of them himself.
I have a lot of adminiration for JohnnyDoe. He is incredibly smart and has a profund technical and linguistic knowledge and a good sense of humor. Maybe he will resurface on TV as pope. Who knows.

Schrödinger's Guy: The JohnnyDoe Conspiracy
They say the best lies are built on half-truths, or maybe just paranoia dressed up in patterns. I don't claim to know exactly what's going on, and none of this is based on hard evidence. But sometimes, when enough strange things line up, you start to wonder. This is just one version of the picture, a personal sense of how something feels rather than what's been proven. Still, once you've looked at it long enough, it's hard to unsee.
He called himself JohnnyDoe, a username so bland it could be anyone, yet over time, it became synonymous with encrypted whispers, vanishing messages, and that uneasy feeling you get when something doesn't add up. On the surface, he was just another user on OffshoreCorpTalk. But to those paying attention, something felt off. Like watching a game being played in a room where you're not sure who's dealing the cards.
They called him Schrödinger's Guy, both trusted and traitor until the box was opened, and by then, it was too late.
The Digital Alchemist
Johnny wasn't flashy. That's what made him effective. He offered just enough to seem legitimate, fake passports that looked real enough to pass casual scrutiny, forged invoices with proper formatting, “private” channels to convert crypto into fiat without questions.
He never bragged. He suggested. He left trails, not maps. And when people tried to ask how he pulled it all off, he deflected, with charm, vagueness, or technical jargon no one could verify.
Maybe he was just really good at his craft. Or maybe”¦ he had help.
The Shadow Behind the Help
Some users who worked with him, or even just interacted, started facing serious heat. Audits. Frozen accounts. Quiet knocks from tax authorities. You start to wonder: was Johnny really trying to help people... or identify them?
Rumors swirled. IRS? HMRC? A front for a three-letter agency? Nobody knew. There was no proof, there never is. But enough people whispered it, and a few started to disappear from the forum. No goodbye. No trace.
It could all be coincidence. It probably is.
Unless it's not.
The Session Web
Johnny built something beyond OCT. He pulled users into Session chats, private channels where rules were fuzzier and loyalties murkier. Some of those users, the ones you now see defending him on the forum, seem almost coordinated. Paid? Influenced? Maybe just true believers.
Their timing was always perfect. They knew when to speak, when to shift blame, when to cry censorship. None of this is provable, of course. But when you watch long enough, patterns emerge.
Eroding from Within
What makes someone dangerous on a forum like OCT isn't that they scam, it's that they sow doubt. Undermine trust. Distract from legitimate services while subtly promoting their own.
Johnny's influence wasn't loud. It was strategic. And by the time you realized your reputation was tied to his name, it was already too late to back out clean.
That's the thing about plausible deniability: it works both ways.
The Real Trap
Most who used him got exactly what they paid for, at first. That's what made him so effective. Success creates trust. Trust creates silence. And silence? That's the perfect shield for someone playing a deeper game.
I'm not saying JohnnyDoe is working for the state. I'm not saying he's a scammer, either. I'm saying”¦ the truth might be both. Or neither. That's the trap of Schrödinger's Guy, until you look inside, he's whatever you want him to be.
But if the box ever opens, just hope your name isn't inside it.

Exactly, that's the dangerous part.
When people get what they want at first, it builds trust, and trust is what keeps them quiet, until it's too late.
You're right, JohnnyDoe could be either or neither, but it's the uncertainty that makes him so risky. Once the truth comes out, though, it might be a lot harder to get away clean.
Ok, but then why you did not warn us here:
https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/threads/the-experts-on-offshorecorptalk-here-is-your-list.34898/
I appreciate the attention, and I'll get him deleted immediately. Just to clarify, he was a lifetime member, and as mentioned in my initial post in the thread, these are just assumptions. Why not? Those who've been caught don't exactly come forward either. Let's consider this a lesson learned.

Your transparency is much appreciated here.
Maybe I am the alone here, maybe not. But is there solid proof of anybody that got caught? And do we know if there are any agent provocateurs here?
I don't think @daniels27 meant any harm. You are both, IMHO, very valuable contributions to this forum and long may it be so. And you also do it without belittling, harassing or outright mocking or threatening other users here, let alone seeking much of the dreaded ego-trips that sometimes abound in here. To me, that gives it the extra bonus some of us do really appreciate.
Kudos to you.
