NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOU BECAUSE YOURE THE PHANTOM AND PAID BY NXT!!!!. SHUTUP. GO AWAY. LITERALLY ANNOYING AND SICK OF HEARING YOUR SH1T!!!!

GET A LIFE!!!!!!!! WE ALL KNOW YOURE BEING PAID BY THE NXT TEAM TO FUD!!!!!! GOOGLE IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!    YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FROM DAY 1!!!!!!! WE CAN ALL SEE WHAT YOURE DOING PHANTOM!!!

Remember. You called the top10 exchange a scam and that turned out to be false!!




About that. FUD or fact because the only proof I've been reading is what I post. Feel free to argue any point but back it up.

To further my point FUD is subjective in regards to this topic as it depends on what side of the fence you sit on. Is it with me who believes this is just a try hard project that has turned into a scam and web of lies, or is it on your side where you believe it is a legit project.

In any case, to refute your comments because I can:

You are listening to me, that's why you felt angry enough to post what you did.
I am not a/the "Phantom" you speak of, but this person does sound wise.

You are correct, I have been doing this since day one, but you are wrong I am not paid by NXT. Why would the NXT project pay me when it was about 75% of their code that was stolen? They already won the court case. LOL

If you don't wish to read about "FUD"(that's your interpretation) then DON"T come here and read it, just simply tell yourself "no" and exercise self-control and don't come on Bitcointalk.

However I do encourage you or anyone else to post facts (not what you think) and offer proof if you wish to refute any of my previous posts. That does not mean a copy and paste from Apollo, but rather some material evidence backing up Apollo's claims or disproving mine.

The Worst Kind of Crypto Youtubers: RUN GUYS


Now that I am able to post in this subreddit, I want to bring a YouTube channel to your attention that I have despised for over half a year now. Some of you veterans may have heard about them, their name is RUN GUYS.
To make it short, RUN GUYS is yet another crpyto YouTube channel that banks on peoples desire to get rich quick. They prey on new and naïve members of the cryptocurrency community to get as many clicks as they possibly can. This is the truth about a lot of crypto Youtubers and it's honestly one of the worst aspects of our community.
So what have they done? RUN GUYS and a list of other terrible YouTube channels have been shilling con artist Steve McCullah's new sh*t coin GSX. Some of you may remember Steve McCullah from the Apollo Currency scam a few years ago. It seems he has once again rebranded his garbage and re-released it to the world of bag chasing noobs except this time under the name of Apollo Fintech. Besides the fact that we can confirm none of what they claim on their website, their crypto currency isn't even listed on any exchanges.
We all hear about the mainstream pump and dump schemes like safemoon and dogecoin, but there is a whole other world of scams and the people endorsing them have hundreds of thousands of followers.
TL;DR Be aware noobies, a lot of big crypto youtubers are terrible and will lie to you to make money.

surprisingly, there are traders for this coin. or maybe it is because of the team behind this coin? most gold-backed projects ended up as a scam. so won't be surprised if this one falls into this category. only a matter of time before they totally abandon this project. hopefully people are smart enough not to be lured by gold-backed projects, because in reality, they dont have anything to do with gold. very few that ive seen here that they do have gold assets.




I guess anyone can fall for a scam. I completely agree, most gold-backed projects are fraudulent . I suppose thats the nature in the crypto world now...You have some uneducated (in financial terms) wanna-be people who have no idea with business, don't know their country of residence laws involving securities and tax, voicing their opinion publicly like they know their shit. LOL



Best Quote to sum up todays crypto space:

"I just feel as though with this investment I am about to make in you, that we should understand how our lives are about to change and I need the results and you need to bring them. I am entrusting you with our livelihood and lives".

Proof Of Reserve - Proof of Audit


Apollo Fintech claim GSX and APL (coins) are backed by gold and various off the blockchain assets.

I hope I’m not the first to ask if there is Proof of Reserve and what independent 3rd party is auditing this?


Introduction

Apollo Fintech has structured GSX to be backed by off chain assets. In fact we find  “The most common form of stablecoin is backed by collateral held “off-chain” (i.e. not on the blockchain)…Stablecoins backed by off-chain collateral operate like a form of e-money, which leverage blockchain technology as a means of payment and store of value…The primary differences between stablecoins is the degree in which a centralized identity retains control over money supply (i.e. who controls issuance and redemption), and the basis of trust in the stablecoin itself (i.e. the underlying assets and technology)”…

https://www.dentons.com/en/insights/articles/2020/december/1/the-stablecoin-cryptocurrency-system


What would be missing is proof of reserve and more importantly an audit to confirm correct business practices over a period of time. There is no proof demonstrating any asset is backing GSX (or APL).


Proof of Reserve Introduction - Nic Carter

Proof of Reserves is the idea that custodial businesses holding cryptocurrency should create public facing attestations as to their reserves, matched up with a proof of user balances (liabilities). The equation is simple (in theory):

Proof of Reserves + Proof of Liability = Proof of Solvency

The idea is to prove to the general public, and in particular your depositors, that your cryptocurrency held on deposit matches up with user balances. Of course, in practice, this isn’t quite so simple. Proving that you control some funds on chain is trivial, but you could always borrow those funds on a short term basis.

https://niccarter.info/proof-of-reserves/


Jason Tyra (Proof Of Reserve is Not an Audit) explains “An audit is a wholistic series of procedures designed to ensure that management’s assertions about the business and its status as a going concern are not improper or obviously flawed”.

Jason makes a few assertions on what proof of reserve does NOT include, placing emphasis on correct audit protocols.

   1.“Proof of reserves does not consider the completeness or accuracy of customer records.  Instead, customers must check for themselves whether they were included in the procedure”.
   
   2.”Proof of reserves does not check the state of reserves before or after the date of the procedure.  This means that reserves could have been bolstered just for the procedure, even though they are normally much lower than what is claimed”.

   3. “Proof of reserves examines no other assets or liabilities besides bitcoins on hand and deposit records. This means that the exchange could be technically or actually insolvent at the time the analysis was conducted and no one outside the organization would know”.

   4. “Proof of reserves does not consider whether the accounting system and security procedures are sufficient and appropriate to prevent theft, embezzlement, or other forms of malfeasance”.

   5. “Proof of reserves does not contemplate whether the business is in compliance with applicable laws or whether the    management team is qualified and fit for service.  This means that the exchange could have 100% reserves and still fail due to regulatory action, taking customer funds down with it”.

   6. “…one person carried out the analysis is also problematic.  Auditors are required to be independent in word and deed and technically qualified to perform the work”.

https://www.tyracpa.com/proof-reserves-audit/



Summary

Now I have ask the question: Is there  Proof of Reserve and what independent 3rd party is auditing this for Apollo Fintech? I hope everyone did their research asking for this before buying.

There is no proof any asset is backing GSX/APL and no independent audit to confirm Proof of Solvency. How do you feel now, at a LOSS?

Steve is the President of the The United Allied States LOL (fake country)









More from Apollo Fintech: “…physical bills cost a large portion of a country's G.D.P. to develop and maintain. The use of digital currency will save the government millions on printing money. The U.A.S. is committed to directing these funds to improve the lives of its citizens and offer true freedom. It's clear that this new government has learned from the mistakes of previous leaderships and is ready to rectify matters…A currency that continuously gets backing from a precious metal like gold is bound to have a high value…The agreement is for Fintech to develop a gold-backed digital currency for the country…”

https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2020/08/uas-government-with-the-first


Have you really learned from your mistakes, or another lie?





Here, Steve talks about issuing a printed fiat currency. A quick change of mind on saving millions of dollars on printed money…oh and there is real 24K gold in it!!!! This is to “install confidence”…scam… by using gold as a lure with the African nation to buy shit. How do I know its shit, well Steve said so.

As Steve has already said, “These are gold backed bills that are literally made with 24K gold. They will be redeemable locally for pure gold or USD equivalent”…

So Steve, is it a waste of money (costing millions) printing fiat, or not? Because you just did the opposite to what you said. You printed fiat.

Then you “sell” the premise of these notes having 24K gold in them that are redeemable for gold or USD equivalent. This is trying to make it look like there is inherent value in it, there is not.

Read on for your own words Steve….

“… (notes) they are connected via the blockchain to each coin on the blockchain and when you want to convert the physical bill to a local digital asset you just scratch the bill and reveal the blockchain code”. Steve McCullah

Oh, ok… this concept isn’t new, but hang on a second Steve…

So the gold in the note magically moves into the blockchain right? The same notes redeemable for gold or USD equivalent? LOL The same notes you made costing millions of dollars and spent more money adding gold to it and then you added a “scratchy” costing more.  

The gold was suppose to add value…LOL…Are you are suppose scratch it off? LOL


A member of Apollo’s telegram did ask the question:





and Steve’s reply:





Ahhhh…in your words Steve McCullah “Gold value of the actual bill is only fractional. More to instill confidence in Africa and other places”…

I guess the gold in the bill is only a ruse to scam people into believing there is value, hoping they are going to use it. Your words Steven, “these are gold backed bills that are literally made with 24K gold. They will be redeemable for pure gold or USD equivalent…(the) Gold value of the actual bill is only fractional…to instill confidence in Africa and other places”. Guess the notes are worthless since there is minimal gold.

Doesn’t make sense does it. It costs so much money to print money, add 24k gold and then turn it into a “scratchy” just to have the note made useless once it is “scratched”. The 24K gold thing was just to convince poorer countries to use this new scam technology.

Got it, Steve McCullah is a scammer.

Steve McCullah being his normal contradictory self, saying one thing, then the opposite. To add to this, he then tells another lie.

Steve attempts to clear things up:  Can a US citizen buy GSX?:





and then he says....






Is that clear for everyone? LOL Steve is on fire being a LIAR, I expect nothing less.

Steve says there are no refunds if you are a US citizen or not. But if you do buy GSX and are a US citizen there is nothing to worry about- trust Steve, he would never take someones money and not give then what they paid for. He is willing to break the law.

Ummm Steve, so you are happy to help someone break the law. Good on you, no responsibility. Then you take it a step further by stating  "all I can say is that it is not 'illegal' to buy from anywhere".. SORRY TO POP YOUR BUBBLE but YES it is.

You are not a registered security in the US so worse case scenario is a fine or jail time. However according to you "in the worse case if we determine that you were going against the terms and conditions then we would give you a refund. You would never lose your money".

Steve you just lied. Why would you say that? You just said there are no refunds regardless if you are a US citizen. Oh, I know why you contradict everything. Clear as mud?

Lesotho Officials not heard from Apollo


A view that is held by one prominent African blockchain entrepreneur and educator who gave his opinion of about ‘shady’ Apollo’s MoU with Lesotho. The expert, who prefers to remain anonymous, says Apollo has not done anything concrete since announcing the MoU with the government of Lesotho in late 2019.

He tells us that Lesotho officials have reportedly not heard from Apollo and consequently, they are now wary of (and less hospitable to) individuals approaching government with proposals that involve or concern the blockchain.

The blockchain educator says he has encountered challenges as he attempted to start his blockchain education initiative in that country. He now blames Apollo’s no show following the MoU for helping to create a negative outlook of the blockchain space in Lesotho.

The United Allied States is an invisible country, where Steve McCulah is the President (https://uas.govt.agency).
Without looking too far in similar cryptocurrency scams you can take a look at SAFEX, another coin endorsed by John Mcafee.
Daniel Dabek owner of SAFEX is also Liberland Ambassador for Serbia, Daniel and other scammers from Onecoin, Dascoin, Netleaders, & more are promoting their scam in the official Facebook page of the embassy.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.56099244
Seems like those scammers are following the same agenda of scamming innocent people.
Remember when Liberland president was scamming refugees offering them passports for 10k USD.

Apollo will probably do the same & scam poor Africans with fake United Allied States passport.

Apollo’s incursion into Zimbabwe


Apollo Fintech is expected to help launch a resource backed cryptocurrency for Zimbabwe, a country plagued with fiat currency troubles.

According to Apollo Fintech’s various twitter handles, it had entered into an agreement with Zimbabwe’s largest financial services group, CBZ Holdings to develop and implement 3 of the tech firm’s national solutions for the southern African country.

According to Apollo Currency’s twitter feed, Zimbabwe’s CBZ had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Apollo Fintech.

Premature celebrations?

The news immediately generated excitement within Zimbabwe’s small but vibrant crypto community while the value of APL—the fintech company’s crypto token— also reacted to the news by rising by approximately 20% following the ‘breaking news’.

Interestingly however, CBZ is has not formally acknowledged this and efforts to get a comment from the company’s officials have so far yielded little almost three weeks later (at the time of writing.)

Furthermore, as the news began filtering through, the rumours at CBZ suggested Apollo’s Steve McCullah might have jumped the gun.

A key individual within CBZ Holdings could neither confirm nor deny if indeed an MOU had been signed while another official only commended alert journalists for bringing this (Apollo’s announcement) to the company’s attention and that the group would take things from there. Both individuals refused to be identified at this moment in time.

This lack of clarity about this potentially game changing solution has some crypto enthusiasts worried and matters are not being helped by Apollo’s past reputation.

Allegations of pump and dump

In the past, Apollo Fintech has had to bat away numerous accusations that it is running a crypto scam. Steve McCullah, Apollo’s co-founder has been accused of operating a pump and dump crypto scheme on the African continent.

In general, pump and dump is illegal in countries like the United States and in many other regulated markets. However, since the cryptocurrency market remains largely unregulated, it means this practice can go unpunished. Critics argue that McCullah might be targeting Africa deliberately because he is aware that just a handful of few countries there have the means to expose him.

Furthermore, opponents also cite the botched expedition into the DRC as one episode that exposes McCullah as a con artist.

In Zimbabwe, critics have questioned the approach used by Apollo where McCullah makes big announcements via twitter while nothing is officially announced by the Zimbabwean side. This approach seems to contrary to the usual way of doing things in Harare.

It is almost a Zimbabwean custom, in both the public and private sector, to use lavish and elaborate ceremonies when announcing MOUs or major milestones. In fact, anything that comes with positive media coverage is never delegated to a faceless social media point person.

Furthermore, announcing everything on Twitter is never taken seriously especially when nothing is seen happening ultimately.

Zimbabwe silence

A few weeks prior to the Apollo/CBZ MOU announcement, the crypto and non-crypto community had been given another dose of similar good news. Apparently, an agreement between the Zimbabwean government and an initially unnamed fintech firm was imminent.

The news had coincided with the changed approach towards cryptocurrencies and fintechs by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ). A few days later Apollo acknowledged—via twitter—that it was the fintech firm in question.

Using the same modus operandi, Apollo has previously announced that it had signed an MOU with the Lesotho government and plans were afoot to sign similar agreements with a host of African countries.

Apollo’s APL token ranks at number 289 while its market capitalization is just under $10 million (at the time of writing) according coinmarketcap.com. The fintech company has have vigorously defended itself and even suggested that allegations that it’s operating a pump and dump scheme could be part of a smear campaign by a jealous competitor.

We do hope this is an opening for crypto into the country as will be a monumentous achievement, especially if ALL the claims made are verified. If not, well, it could cause more set backs for the industry in Zimbabwe.

Either way, until we have confirmation of facts, we will leave you to decide.

Apollo Fintech leader, Steve McCullah strikes again with his ignorance and lies. Any buyer of GSX (and APL) has been scammed.

Historically Steve was asked if GSX is a security, and the following was his response:







Now take a minute to stop laughing and digest his response. I’m not sure where to begin. On all the “official” Apollo websites it clearly states that this a security backed by gold and land…blab bla bla. This makes it a security (although various Apollo papers contradict each other).

Steve has come up with a way to circumnavigate GSX being a security! Dividends are referred to as bonuses and these bonuses that are paid out to GSX holders come from a randomised pool of funds. And that makes it NOT a security, according to Steve.

And look! Apollo is in the beginning stages of SEC regulation!

What the heck are you talking about Steve? Because it is now called bonuses and are funds are random it therefore is NOT a security? I guess with your fake university education that is Steve’s uneducated interpretation. LOL. What the heck does that mean? Steve has poo as a brain and is actively scamming people.

Allow me to to blow this to shit.


SEC

Lets start with the SEC. The SEC is the regulatory financial body in America.

The terms and conditions to buy GSX (gsxcde.com/terms-and-condition) requires you not to reside or be an American citizen. If you are American then you broke the T&C’s. See above posts as what is said. Thats the end of the SEC regulation. So, the SEC is only for people who reside in America, not elsewhere. If the SEC did say it is a security or not, it doesn’t apply to any other country. But since Americans cannot buy GSX it doesn’t matter what the SEC says.


Did you buy APL/GSX based upon what Apollo Fintech Advertised?


When you bought GSX it wasn’t allowed to be based on advertising, solicitation, reading of articles, videos or any electronic media and NOT from a person NOT previously known to you in regards to investments. If you did that, well thats your issue, no refunds. Did you buy into this scam because of any of the above?

Also in the T&C’s-  you should have taken appropriate independent legal and tax advice. This means not from Steve. So if you blindly bought GSX based upon what Steve said then you broke the T&C’s.



Howey Test


Now under the Howey Test, it “states that an investment contract is a transaction, scheme or contract where a people invest their funds in a common enterprise and expect profits solely from the efforts of a third party or promoter” (https://www.leewayhertz.com/howey-test/).

The Howey test therefore says GSX is a security because there is an expectation of profits, and this comes from gold mining and land value (apparently). Otherwise no-one would buy GSX unless the expectation is to increase in value, right?! Apollo also clearly states that dividends are paid out!…it’s a security!

But if you do not believe me then do what Apollo Fintech says in its T&C’s - go get independent financial advice.




If you do live in America (and broke the rules) and did buy into Apollo and GSX here are some thoughts to ponder



If you receive income from referral links…

The Order from the Commissioner alleged Bitconnect marketed tokens for funding targeted to the general public in the US using “affiliates” for promotion. In exchange the “affiliates” were credited for each token sale through their efforts, a reward varying from 2-5%. This was done via “referral links”. This is classified as income received for work rendered and to the Commissioner it makes it a security (https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2017/33-10445.pdf,  https://www.ssb.texas.gov/news-publications/4-billion-crypto-promoter-ordered-halt-fraudulent-sales, https://www.sec.gov/litigation/investreport/34-81207.pdf)



Are you making a passive income (not referrals)


Another similar attribute that the Commissioner outlines is Bitconnect had a platform Staking program where users held their coins in their QT-wallet. This is Proof of Stake (POS) minting where investors passively receive income by holding the coin in the wallet making a profit. This is deemed an investment and thus a security as the Commissioner points out. The Apollo team is Proof of Stake (POS) offering a Leasing system, or as the team states “forging” generating an income from transactions fees. Are you expecting more GSX or APL by forging or locking away your GSX…this is passive income.

In another example The Securities Commissioner on the 20 Dec 2017 entered an emergency Cease and Desist Order against USI-Tech Limited based in Dubai selling investments tied to bitcoin mining (https://www.ssb.texas.gov/news-publications/4-billion-crypto-promoter-ordered-halt-fraudulent-sales). This was classified as a security due to earning passive income.

Do you like how I compare Bitconnect to Apollo? LOL
So just to some up, good luck with the law if you live in America. Steve knows shit all.


Summary

Steve McCullah is a scammer, Apollo Fintech is a scam and GSX is a shit token/coin that you guys are locking up for years in order to receive  a passive income - for those who don’t know you can pick to lock up GSX for 1,2, or 3 years to receive huge returns! LOL 

By locking up you money you can no longer exit this scam. Well done for zero research, well done for not seeking independent advice. Well done indeed, you must be proud for your lack of effort.

OP, I didn't read this entire thread in close detail but I get the gist of it and I applaud you on providing all of this information.  The thread is old, yet I don't remember it and this is the first time I'm reading it--and it sounds like this guy/team was the stereotypical ICO scammer who's now moved on to other disreputable methods of fleecing idiots and ignoramuses for their money.  And even just those who put too much trust in people, and that's the worst type of victim.

Jeweled pet collars?  Jesus.

LOL, it's  a laugh for sure. But knowing how Steve McCullah operates he always names his companies similar to real companies so people are tricked into believing he is rich and successful. But he is a liar.

Looks like Steve father has jumped onto the band wagon for scamming. Let's take a look into Evans Collars (aka Tsavari).





In previous posts you can see Steven McCullah is also registered under this business. Take note of Tsavari Mining - gold and ore mining in southern Africa (Fake Website tsavari.co).




This is the McCullah's unfinished SCAM website - I have written about this before:



https://www.tsavari.co/more-about-me




Extract from an article written about Steven claiming the real Tsavari business is Evans Collars.

"Tsavari makes 12 million dollar dog collar. Paula Abdul one of their famous clients!

Why: Tsavari is the world’s first luxury dog collar brand showcasing real white sapphires and rubies in their collars. When the best isn’t good enough, you should consider some of their luxury dog collars. Tsavari also designs and creates custom precious collars for your loving pets.

Does your precious pooch deserve the most couture of collars? Check out the details on this new custom pink diamond dog collar that’s being valued at over 12 million dollars.  Now that’s some bling worth barking for!

The U.S. dog jewelry company Tsavari — a branch of Evans Collars Inc. — caters to celebrities and the mega weathy with a line of dog collars that prior to this product release ranged from $2,500  to $73,699.

So who’s pet wears Tsavari?  Owner Stephen McCullah says Paula Abdul is just one outspoken celebrity client.  But with the launch of the line’s latest offering, these collars are reaching for the very noblest of necklines.

Not yet debuted to the public –McCullah tells Pursuitist that jewelers are still working on the buckle — Tsavari recently hinted at adding a supremely coveted canine tag to its collection, called The Majesty
".

https://pursuitist.com/your-precious-pooch-needs-this-12-million-collar/




Below is Paula Abdul Instagram post of the REAL business Tsavari.com



https://www.instagram.com/p/sQWRaKQMNc/?utm_source=ig_embed



Conclusion

There was a real company is called www.tsavari.com and Paula Abdul was a client. This is not Stevens or Robert McCullahs business.

Steven and his father Robert (aka Bob) McCullah have tried to claim that this was their company. Well I guess that how they roll, making up company names similar to real companies just to scam people. Fell free to read back on his thread for all the scam connections.

The company Paula Abdul bought from is www.tsavari.com. The scam company Steve and his father operate is https://www.tsavari.co (aka Evans Collars) - read back on post for proof.

That is the connection. Scam Scam Scam

Warning


What happens when scammers want to steal more of your money?

Easy, just make up cryptocurrencies and make grandiose statements and lie. When that cryptocurrency starts to fail make a new one and then get people to lock it up for years...for huge returns...just like GSX. Why not trick people into buying it by offering free coins - because there no such thing as inflation, right? Don't think about it, don't research it, you are running out of time! Buy now!

Locking away your funds stops you from exiting the scam, think about it.  Way-to-go GSX holders. LOL

Where's the decentralisation, Apollo controls the entire platform including what the price of GSX is.

Next scam step:




Zenon Currency








There we have it, Apollo's next scam project.

GSX Whitepaper Jan 17th 2021


The following are SOME direct quotes for the GSX Terms & Conditions:


GOLD SECURED CURRENCY (GSX) COIN DISTRIBUTION EVENT (https://gsxcde.com/terms-and-condition).


If you do not agree with these terms, you are NOT allowed to purchase GSX from the company.


1. Conditions to GSX coin distribution

Neither the Company nor any of the Apollo Fintech Ltd. Team has provided you with any advice regarding whether GSX is a suitable investment for you.

You are legally permitted and authorized to purchase, receive, hold and otherwise make use of the GSX in accordance with the laws of your country and any other relevant jurisdiction applicable to you

1.10. By acquiring GSX, you are not making a regulated investment or any other designation of this character as may be interpreted by the regulator in your jurisdiction.

1.12. You waive any right you may have, or any right you may thereafter obtain, to participate in a class action lawsuit or a class wide arbitration against any entity or individual involved with the distribution of GSX.

1.13. Your acquisition of GSX does not involve a purchase or receipt of shares, ownership, or any equivalent in any existing or future public or private company, corporation or other entity in any jurisdiction and is not a security.

1.17. You acknowledge that an employee of Apollo Fintech or its subsidiaries will not make any statements about the expected price of cryptocurrencies. If an Apollo Fintech CDE employee does make a statement regarding the price of cryptocurrencies, then their statement is an opinion from which no rights can be derived, and they are going explicably against employee protocol.

1.18. You guarantee and acknowledge that you are not a citizen or resident or resident of the United States.

3.2. Terms and Conditions

a. I have received and reviewed the Coin distribution event terms and have taken appropriate legal and tax advice with respect to the same.

b. I understand that GSX coins do not represent nor do they entitle the holder, in any way whatever, to a:

i. Depository Account;
ii. Custodial Account;
iii. Cash Value Insurance Contract;
iv. Annuity Contract; or
v. Equity, Share, Ownership, Payouts and/or Debt Interest.

c. GSX coins are held subject to the terms and conditions of the Coin distribution event terms and this Application (this Application).

d. No certificate will be issued in relation to my GSX coins and my personal GSX coin holding will not be reflected, recognized, or recorded in any account or ledger maintained by Apollo Fintech Ltd.

I am not aware of and am in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the distribution of GSX coins through or as a result of: any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic mail over the internet, in connection with the offering and distribution of GSX coins and I am not purchasing GSX coins and did not become aware of the offering of GSX coins through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which I was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by,
a person not previously known to me in connection with investments in securities generally;


Now we have direct quotes from the https://gsxcde.com website for GSX.







GSX is backed by assets
GSX holders are the trust beneficiaries of the mineral rights and assets.
Continued growth increase is asset value of land and gold backing GSX
Yearly bonuses for GSX holders paid yearly
GSX is redeemable for actual gold
GSX combines the best elements from a stable coin, cryptocurrency and investment coin.



Discussion

In the first line in the T&C we read  - Gold secured currency (GSX). This is because GSX has assets that are securities (e.g. gold and land where the value is derived from) and therefore is a security.

You are also are  NOT allowed to purchase GSX if you are citizen or resident of the United States (1.18). If you are a citizen or reside in the US and have purchased GSX, you have broken the terms and conditions and broken the contract. Your problem, no refunds.

If you live in any other country and authorised to purchase GSX you must abide by your jurisdiction laws and pay taxes. This is your responsibility, not Apollo Fintech. Remember every country has strict laws on who can buy a security and it’s your problem, no refunds.

Now to remove any legal responsibility away from Apollo Fintech, if you do buy GSX it is NOT a regulated investment. This means NO independent, legal entity (e.g. FINMA etc)  can protect you or make Apollo Fintech return any looses you may occur if this turns out to be a scam, regardless of jurisdiction. Another words no refunds.

Apollo Fintech is basically saying if your regulator in your jurisdiction says it MUST be regulated, and you bought GSX, you did so illegally, thus no refunds.

A further attempt to cover Apollo Fintech arses, if you buy GSX you cannot bring class action lawsuit or a class wide arbitration against any entity or individual involved with the distribution of GSX (1.12). When this turn belly up and the shit hits the fan, no refunds as you cannot sue which WAS your only option, AND the GSX investment is NOT regulated therefore you have no protection (1.10). No refunds.

When you do purchase GSX (1.13).

   i. you will NOT receive receipt of shares
   ii. you will NOT receive a receipt of ownership to anything
   iii. GSX does NOT involve any equivalent in any existing or future public or private company, corporation or other entity in any jurisdiction and is not a security.

  Now Im a little confused with the T&C 1.13 iii. The very first sentence in their T&C they say GSX is a security backed by gold. The GSXCDE website also clearly states GSX holds are trust beneficiaries of the mineral rights and assets and yearly bonuses are paid. This makes it a security but I guess not because all it takes is Apollo Fintech saying it is not a security therefore its not a security, right? LOL WRONG!

But what would I know. Just because GSX is advertised by Apollo Fintech as a security and you bought it thinking you were getting rights to other assets, I hate to burst your bubble but according to the T&C it is NOT a security. Confused? Very contradictory, but some of you went ahead anyways and bought GSX. Sorry, no refunds.

To further add salt to your wounds this is repeated in the T&C (3.2, a) and a further alarming admission is made. “ No certificate will be issued in relation to my GSX coins and my personal GSX coin holding will not be reflected, recognized, or recorded in any account or ledger maintained by Apollo Fintech Ltd.” Just in case you were wondering a ledger is a blockchain. Apollo Fintech just admitted when you buy their non-security/security in which they have no responsibility, they don’t have to record GSX purchase in the blockchain, in fact they don’t have to record it at all. You agreed to this when you purchased GSX. No refunds.

You also acknowledge that if you did buy GSX it was not based on information given by Apollo Fintech or its subsidiaries (1.17). For example if you bought GSX based upon what you read on gsxcde.com which is a subsidiary of Apollo Tech, then it’s only an opinion and not investment advice. You should have appropriate legal and tax advice (3.2, a) because Apollo Fintech is not responsible. You will not get a refund.

You also agreed that your GSX purchase is not because of advertising, solicitation, reading of articles, videos or any electronic media NOR your purchase of these GSX coins based upon a person NOT previously known to me in connection with investments in securities generally. So if you bought GSX because an unknown person recommended it, you problem, no refunds. Sorry you broke the terms and conditions by doing that.


To reinforce the conditions in (1.13) it is reiterated that GSX coins do NOT represent or entitle the holder to a Depository Account, Custodial Account, Cash Value Insurance Contract, Annuity Contract or an Equity, Share, Ownership, Payouts and/or Debt Interest. Yeah I know Apollo Fintech is contradicting themselves. But we all know what that means, Apollo Fintech has no financial responsibility if you broke any of these rules, so no refunds.


Conclusion

The gsx white paper is contradictory in places and offers more confusion to the legal standing of what GSX is. In places it says it is a security, and on their official CDE fundraising website they also clearly state it is a security, however in the same breathe they claim it is not a security. Confused? lol. I bet some of you bought it anyways….

The terms and conditions to buy GSX (gsxcde.com/terms-and-condition) requires you not to reside or be an American citizen. If you are then you broke the T&C’s, no refund.

If you live anywhere else you can purchase GSX as long as you had independent financial and tax advice, I bet you didn’t.  When you bought GSX it wasn’t allowed to be based on advertising, solicitation, reading of articles, videos or any electronic media and NOT from a person NOT previously known to you in connection with investments. If you did that, well thats your issue, no refunds.

Also Apollo Fintech will not issue a certificate nor does this institution have any responsibility for recording  your GSX coins on a ledger or anything of the like. How do you feel now that the only record is the blockchain in which Apollo Fintech does NOT have to record your purchase? They basically said if something goes wrong with the database, your problem, no refunds. Imagine that, a billion dollar company with huge assts saying they have no responsibility in recording your assets. That does NOT happen in real life people, thats why you should have looked for independent financial advice. A financial institution has a responsibility of accurate record keeping and the ownership of assets.

In conclusion the white paper contradicts itself and the official GSXCDE website. The white paper attempts to put the sole responsibility on the purchaser of GSX and Apollo Fintech has NO responsibility in recording your assets. If you did buy GSX through advertising, electronic media such as video or articles or from a person not known to you with investments then you have broken the T&C’s and entitled to no refund.

When this scam does come to an end, no regulatory financial body is able to help retrieve your lost funds because this was not regulated. You also agreed not to sue them when you bought GSX. This is your risk you took when you didn’t read the T&C’s.

I wonder how long before Apollo finch change their wording to rape you of your hard earned money. Thats what liars do.

How do you feel now?

Apollo Fintech and GSX coin are scams. Steve McCullah is a scammer.

The only additional fact I will add is where do you think UAS is located? Thats right AFRICA!

OP. Could you show us any certificates or third-party audit to support this claim? Without any proofs to support the $1.4bn bold claim about the Gold Reserves, this project will be marked as a SCAM!

Classic scam of gold-related project. $1.4B is a huge money and if you have that amount, guess they should be spending some money for marketing. But seems that the OP is nowhere to be seen. But on their website, they said they are set to trade in these below exchanges. Interesting if Binance will accept this project. They should remove those logos as it is misleading.

Here is an article about the SCAM GSX from https://topedgefx.com/apollo-fintech-review-gsx-coin-scam-gsxcde-com/



Apollo Fintech Review: GSX Coin Scam (gsxcde.com)

Apollo Fintech (gsxcde.com) claims to offer a coin known as GSX which is also backed by Gold, Land and US dollar reserves.
The current price of GSX coin is $0.046 (july 22) and this price is apparently going to increase as more assets are added.
Apollo Fintech is confident that investors of GSX coin are going to achieve guaranteed high returns which are paid in yearly dividends.

According to their own speculations, the value of GSX coin is going to increase by 500% in 2021.
These projections are suspicious because they’re not based on any hard data.
In addition to this, Apollo Fintech is inviting investors to buy GSX coin today on the promise that they’ll get a 60+ bonus.

Unfortunately, there are serious issues with this project which is why we can’t include it into our list of recommended trading and investment resources.

Apollo Fintech review

In this review, we’ll let you know whether gsxcde.com is a project you can trust or not.
Is Apollo Fintech Legit?

No, this project is not a legit investment and those who actually buy GSX coin will all lose their money.

Our observation is based on the following facts:

The website is offering guaranteed and super-high returns.
The claim that GSX coin is backed by Gold, land and USD reserves ($1.4 billion) cannot be verified.
Ownership information is not known
This coin launch requires SEC approval which they do not have
Appollo Fintech has the hallmark of a scam
The GSX coin scam

GSX coin is a worthless Cryptocurrency not backed by anything.

But the lie that surround this coin will convince you that it is very safe to purchase the coin.
The truth is that no independent audits will be done.
No 50% of unsold coins will be burned. Dividends won’t be paid either.


Can you recover money lost through Apollo Fintech scam?

If you’ve lost a significant sum of money to this ponzi scheme, you can recover your money.
Simply visit this page and sign up...https://mychargeback.com/consultation/?a_aid=151014


Conclusion

This scam will definitely suck many people in and even trick them to invest a lot of money.
What you must know is that the website is not offering a legit Cryptocurrency worth investing in.
They will probably scam you by disappearing and leaving you with nowhere to sell your coin or recover your USD.

Thanks for reading!


I have some addition info to help people connect some more dots.



https://contactout.com/Stephen-McCullah-33668568


We have Steven connected to the fake company/website Tsavari. The website claims to be a South African Mining company. It is fake. The rest of the webpages lead to weird unrelated data and is unfinished.

Steven company Tsavari is in retail,  pretending to be involved in mining. lol

The we have Steven linked to Deluz Diamonds LLC (https://opencorporates.com/officers/179417020), and as seen in the above image.


This lead me to evanscollars.com:






Does this sound familiar???

“Evans Collars has since expanded into different markets with it’s sister companies including: tourniquets, medical bags, military equipment, law enforcement gear, tactical accessories, as well as custom projects for many different clients such as Wal-Mart, Dollar General, US Military, etc…”

His link with the company CCMMUSA.com is a sister company, kept within the family and has a similar description as above…”CCMM inc. specializes in class 1 medical manufacturing. Since 1985 CCMM has been manufacturing in the heart of the USA. We have produced a wide variety of products for pets, law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, military and hunters. Some of our clients include Walmart, Harrods, Dollar General and TJ Maxx. We have designed products for
NYPD, LAPD, Homeland Security, the U.S Military and our allies.”

Then, as we can still see in the first image, Steven McCullah has bachelor degrees @ Dury and @ University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. But of course as we know, Steven LIED.

Then we have Deluz Diamonds LLC…more on precious metals…what can I say? Random posts all over the net.

Then we have him as a owner of Diamond Trading Company in West and central Africa. Is anyone connecting the dots here? Precious metals in AFRICA!

Steven uses company names that are similar to REAL COMPANIES in the same industry or create fake web pages/links hoping people won’t investigate further.

If you review Steven on https://opencorporates.com/officers?q=McCullah%2C+Stephen you will find him also linked with Skylark Inc. This company was with Kyle Hornback (Yes he is with Apollo) and that was the company setup for the Gold Mining Game that lets you mine real gold?Huh Yes it is now one of Apollos projects they are trying to rebrand (and the other software).

Im still waiting for your reply Steven about Apollo originally being a charity? You lied and had to shut that down. I was right.


Conclusion


Steven Mccullah over extends into fabrication his business involvement. He lied about his qualifications. His company names are the same or similar to real companies in similar industries he is trying to push in order to DECEIVE.

Most of the businesses he was involved with seem like family businesses and he claims responsibilities beyond him.

Steven has been doing this for years pretending to be involved with precious metals and people are falling for this. He copies company names or makes his company names sound similar, they are NOT.

So, how do you feel now holding Apollo coin or GSX? You bought from someone who has been scamming for long time, deliberately deceiving you.

Steven are you qualified in anything?, oh yes....BULLSHIT.






Just a hint...this took 10 mins for the above research...waybackmachine

Steven Mccullah


Steve back in 2018 Claimed to have two bachelors degrees in premed studies from Lamar University and a bachelor from Drury University as shown in his Linkedin account June 2018 (https://youtu.be/KDrQUI9qKqQ (starts @ 5min 25sec).

https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevemccullah/

He was called out over this and quickly changed his account and denied everything. Here is Steven Mccullah attempting to explain why he lied about his credentials. A extremely poor rebuttal from Steve. Just embarrassing, all he says is “look everyone heres my Linkedin and I deleted the words bachelor to prove I’m right”. LOL  -  https://youtu.be/KDrQUI9qKqQ (starts @ 7min).

While we are on the topic of his credentials lets have a closer look at the companies he listed.

Chief Executive Officer for Tsavari for Sep 2012 - Sep 2016. Company Number:LC001415620
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_mo/LC001415620

Company was active between Aug 2014 and Aug 2016. Steve again has his information wrong or lied, whatever you decide. Please note the Business Classification is Retail Sales.

I would hate to think that Steve Mccullah thought he worked at Tsavari.co, a South African mining company involved with alluvial gold. It would be deceptive to think he would insinuate or suggests that he worked here.


Here is the Gold Company Tsavari in South Africa:






Here is Steve Mccullah Tsavari business in retail:




Hey look same logo and Name! Scammer Steve strikes again. Very scammy to use another business logo in the same industry  you are trying to do business in Steve! . Sort of Conflict of Interest..or just a SCAM? Oh wait is https://www.tsavari.co actually even real? Its an unfinished website that also offers guidance coaching. LOL  RED FLAGS


CCMM INC


A quick review ofCCMM INC on Steves Linkedin:

The logo matches with the website: https://www.ccmmusa.com with their https://www.linkedin.com/company/ccmm-inc/about/ profile. The business was established in 1985 (https://opencorporates.com/events/480431879).

In July 2016 a name change was made from COLLAR CRAFT AND PETITE ORIGINALS, INC.' to 'CCMM, Inc.' and at the same time Steven Mccullah took the position Vice President.



Here is a picture from Linkedin of the current owner of CCMU (2021):








Everything seems to look ok, it looks like a family business with different family members taking various company positions.

We have Brandon, Betty Jacob, James and Robert and Steven Mccullah all involved. Seems legit.


Kick Starter

I have already brought this up before. In 2012 he raised money for an expedition to Congo. Long story short the money disappeared and the investors are still trying to get their money back.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/817864170/new-species-expedition-to-congo/comments?cursor=11233633#comment-11233632

“The project’s CTO, the Ukrainian Sergey Rokhvarg, is of even more interest. He’s the public face and director of the Ukrainian company Universal Information Technology (UIT), which corrupt high‐ranking Ukrainian officials use to launder funds from the state budget and Ukrainian state corporations”. Link below provides further info.

Conclusion

In conclusion Seven Mccullah lied on his profile having two bachelor degrees and removed it from his  profile. He could not explain why he lied.

To add more RED FLAGS the logo used in his Tsavari retail business is the same logo as a Gold mining company in South Africa.

Jelurida (JLD) Wins Court Case Against Apollo

On Sept. 22, a Dutch court ruled against Apollo for cloning over 75% of its code from Jelurida’s Nxt (NXT) blockchain software. Apollo breach these conditions by adding their proprietary license over JLD's license in Oct. 2019..."Apollo [has] to fulfil its obligations under the JPL in respect of Jelurida, immediately after this judgment has been served, in full and unconditionally, within the territory of the Netherlands".

Apollo must disclose information pertaining to the distributed Apollo Software, such as sales prices, profit calculations, and names of all people involved. Apollo must also pay the legal costs of Jelurida of €38,780.73. After this case Apollo has voluntarily dropped the lawsuit against JLD in the US (Texas).

Why was the gsx dustribution amount lowered to 50 million ftom 10 billion? If you can change that, why could u not change the total supply also. So now the foundation will hold 99.9% of gsx coin. Unless foundation coin are locked and can't be sold I see this as a bad deal
Foundation will just dump slowly like they did with apollo



It doesn't look good does it West-wot? I have written about regulation inconsistencies with Apollo in mid 2018 (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/apollo-currency-is-a-scam-you-have-been-warned-3233704). Turns out I was right. aplfintech.com is an attempt of a rebrand to attract more victims.

It takes 5mins to look into this GSX coin before confidence wavers and then begins to plummet. Let’s review the Marume Resources t/a Virtuous Environment Apollo Fintech Technical Report for May 2020.

Search criterion: Image reverse search and cellphone number.

This is Munyaradzi Otis Marume.


You may know him as Dr Otis…or the Consultant.

What is this about Super Life STC30? Absolutely no controversy with this project he is pushing, right? Still feeling confident in your GSX investment now?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Munyaradzi Otis Marume is a scammer so don’t go hating him. Rather I’m asking the question, how confident do you feel with apollo-fintech claiming a multi-million deal with the Commercial Bank in Zimbabwe (CBZ) based on a mining report by an IT consultant who is heavily involved in a controversial multi-marketing product?

Then a quick review of the Virtuous Environment Apollo Fintech Technical Report references reveals what?

This report was written in 2018 - M. Marume (2018) (Unpublished) Preliminary report on the Geological evalualation (sic) of the Kazangarare Gemstone Belt, Magunje Communal Lands, Karoi, Zimbabwe. This report was written before this whole thing was fabricated, during a time Apollo Fintech didn’t exist and during their regulatory mishaps and copyright infringements. Hows your confidence now in GSX?

What is the third party that will audit this

I assume this will be classed as a security ?

Is this the same Apollo that have a known scam artist as a ceo ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ai5b62/apollo_apl_is_a_massive_scam_and_you_are_all/



Seems this is a scam guys - ceo is a known scam artist and never manages to launch anything before moving onto the next scam - a quick google shows this history

Avoid guys !
