We’ve had enough of the scammers and fraudsters hiding behind flashy websites, slick language, and dodgy disclaimers. The gloves are off. We’re not just calling them out anymore — we’re shutting them down.

This is SCAMDEMIC warfare, and we’re fighting back with everything we’ve got. Every digital device matters, and we need you. Whether you’re an armchair whistleblower or a full-time scam hunter like me, Danny de Hek – The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger — it’s time to step up. We’re louder, faster, and more determined than ever.

Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui, Your Time Is Up.

Let’s be clear: we are the ones closing them down. Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui and his gang of MLM rebranders can run, but they can’t hide. We have the receipts. We’ve got the Zoom meetings, the websites, the defunct domains, the fake partnerships, and all the red flags mapped out like a war plan.

What most people don’t realise is that Shavez wasn’t always calling himself “Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui.” For years, he operated under the alias “Shavez Anwar.” In one arrogant Zoom meeting, he even claimed he’d pay me $10,000 if I ever found out his real name. Well — I did. And how? He filed a copyright strike against one of my videos, and YouTube handed over his legal name.

Since then, he’s been scrambling for legitimacy — accepting a shiny “Best Fintech Company of the Year” award on behalf of LQUIDPAY Deobank at the Entrepreneur Middle East Awards, and launching his personal branding platform at shavezahmedsiddiqui.com. But we see straight through it. And we’re here to shut it down before he gets too full of himself.

While government agencies shuffle their feet and stick to outdated systems, we’re two steps ahead. The scammers rebrand, and we’re already there — slapping warnings and turning their tech into rubble. From WAAS to Protocol Yield, from LQUIDPAY to Affiliate Marketing 3.0 — we’re tracking them in real-time and making their lies public knowledge.

Bloomberg Didn’t Fall for It

Let’s not forget when Bloomberg Businessweek released a feature-length article (Dubai’s Alleged Crypto Scams Are Raking in Billions) about Shavez Siddiqui as part of their 10-month investigation into crypto fraud, including a short-form documentary segment. Over 700,000 people watched Bloomberg’s YouTube video exposé, featuring Siddiqui’s wild claims—including alleging he would sue Bloomberg and that journalist Alice Kantor should be fired for her reporting. It’s as laughable as the rest of his scammy playbook.

SHAVEZ AHMED SIDDIQUI, a former protégé of Sam Lee (yes, the same Sam Lee behind the infamous Hyperverse scam), has rebranded his fraudulent ventures under new banners like “StableDAO” and “We Are All Satoshi.” Now, Shavez introduces Lquid Pay, claiming partnerships with Visa and global merchants. Visa and regulatory bodies like VARA have firmly denied any association with him.

Bloomberg BusinessWeek Exposé – “Shavez Anwar, from his luxury apartment in Dubai, claims to be the crypto industry’s savior, offering services like a crypto index named Dodo and a credit card formerly called 9Pay. Visa categorically denies working with him, and VARA, Dubai’s regulatory body, says they’ve never heard of him. Despite his claims of consulting with regulators, Anwar is nothing more than a crypto charlatan preying on unsuspecting investors.”

The Fake Documents That Backfired

Shavez came after me with three AI-generated fake documents — a bogus identity theft report, a laughable defamation report, and a brain stroke report that should win a comedy award. It got my hosting account at WP Engine terminated, and I had to scramble to move 18 sites in 30 days. But let me tell you something: the Avengers always land on their feet. Dehek.com is now protected by none other than Google Project Shield — the same tech that defends human rights groups, journalists, and even Google itself. This is serious protection, and it’s proof that our work matters.

We’re Winning the Takedown War

They might think deplatforming me is a win. But let’s take a look at how the scoreboard actually looks: we’ve had Shavez’s Medium account terminated. Gone. And here’s what Medium told us directly:

“Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have determined the content(s) violate our rules: https://policy.medium.com/medium-rules-30e5502c4eb4. We have now suspended the content(s) from public view.” – Medium Trust & Safety

We had GlobeNewswire pull his self-promotional trash press release. Another win. Here’s what they told us after we made it clear we’d escalate:

“As escalation to the FBI, Homeland Security, and international regulatory agencies has been suggested in your email, I am escalating this to our legal team and am not able to comment further.” – Alyssa, GlobeNewswire

A day later: press release removed. Game, set, match.

Government Warnings You Need to Know

Here are the official government warnings issued against Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui’s associated scams:

These are not vague concerns or conspiracy theories—these are black-and-white facts backed by regulators.

Domains Already Suspended

We’ve successfully helped remove or disable the following domains:

  • boomerang.trade – Flagged and now suspended
  • boomerang.dev – Flagged and now suspended
  • weareallsatoshi.org – Suspended
  • weareallsatoshi.ai – Suspended
  • 9Pay.vc – Suspended
  • lquid.finance – Suspended
  • waas.network – Suspended

Still Active and Being Targeted

These domains are still online and actively used in Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui’s ever-evolving rebranding and recruitment funnel:

Let’s set the record straight.

Shavez Ahmed Siddiqui didn’t just randomly start Affiliate Marketing 3.0 DAO LLC — he was deeply embedded in WAAS (We Are All Satoshi) and personally promoted Sam Lee’s projects, including HyperOne, StableDAO, and Stable Opinion. In multiple Zoom meetings, he introduced himself as Shavez Anwar working for HyperTech Group. We have the video evidence.

When Sam Lee was detained in Dubai for 60 days, the leadership circle turned on him. Shavez then claimed control of the entire WAAS ecosystem, including the mysterious Vault Horizon, where investor funds were supposedly held. Since then, the money has vanished and has never been seen again.

Now, in a desperate attempt to rewrite history, Shavez is claiming that:

“Affiliate Marketing 3.0 DAO LLC is not affiliated, associated, partnered, endorsed, or in any kind of collaboration with WAAS…”

That’s not a disclaimer — that’s a mic drop of lies.

PDFThe structure, Zoom links, payment flows, domains, and user base are all identical. The only thing that changed was the name. The very Legal Disclaimer on afm.network contradicts itself, admitting that Shavez leads the DAO, controls all branding, and that anyone found “misrepresenting” his project will face legal threats — including those merely sharing articles or Zoom calls.

Let’s be honest: this is a smokescreen. Shavez is trying to weaponize fear and legal posturing to silence critics and whistleblowers, but the facts are documented. The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has already updated their warning to include Protocol Yield, and complaints have been escalated to the Commerce Commission and the Hong Kong SFC.

Meanwhile, Shavez has now taken over WAAS, and the WAAS team is scrambling to rebuild without Sam Lee. Yet the damage is done, and victims still haven’t recovered their funds.

Don’t let this slick legalese fool you — it’s the same scam, same architect, new wrapper.

Let’s Finish What We Started

PDFWe’re tracking it all. We’re archiving the evidence. And we’re about to release a Whistleblower Toolkit so the public can submit their own complaints and help us finish this fight. Don’t just share this blog—use it. Forward it to regulators. Talk to journalists. Expose the next iteration before it starts.

This is SCAMDEMIC warfare, and together—we’re winning.
