Circumstantial evidence points to Dominik Schiener, co-founder of the IOTA Foundation, being the criminal hacker known as Cystomatic aka. Alhalama.

Several pieces of evidence show the connection between the hacker Cystomatic (aka. Alhalama) and Dominik Schiener:
  • Cystomatic created a MySpace account with the name "Dominik Schiener".
  • Cystomatic announced a social media marketing project similar to Fileyy.com, Dominik Schiener's first startup.
  • Cystomatic announced plans to relocate his Affiliate Marketing business (Fileyy.com?) to Malta. As Dominik Schiener, Cystomatic is Italian, speaks German, is a precocious entrepreneur, is working on an Internet Marketing project and is fond of tax havens.
  • Cystomatic requests quote to create the logo for Fileyy.com. The winning logo was the same used by Fileyy.com and by Dominik Schiener in his LinkedIn page.

The following evidence shows that Cystomatic changed his name to Alhalama and, therefore, Cystomatic and Alhalama are the same person.
  • In the Hack Forums, Cystomatic says "Nice, tell me again how much of a marketer you are, and how long your crypter will stay FUD". Cystomatic later changes his username to "Alhalama". However, another user has already quoted Cystomatic's sentence and, as a result, the connection between both usernames is revealed.
  • Alhalama contact details are the same as Cystomatic's.

Crimes committed by Cystomatic aka. Alhalama include hacking and defacing websites, installing keyloggers, selling administration logins, selling site databases, and buying, using and selling remote access trojans.
  • Alhalama hacks 11 sites on 6 June 2011.
  • Alhalama defaces 2 sites on 12 June 2011.
  • Alhalama hacks 1 site on 13 June 2011.
  • Alhalama sells site admin logins and databases on 18 June 2011.
  • Alhalama celebrates his success using the Rapzo Keylogger on 21 June 2011.
  • Alhalama sells a Blackshades VPN and Blackshades RAT. Blackshades infects the victim's computer when the victim visits a malicious webpage (drive-by download). The FBI run operations in 2012 and 2014 to combat the use of Blackshades, which led to the arrest of near 100 people in 19 countries.

After starting IOTA, Dominik Schiener described his hacking experience:
Quote
"I started hacking computer games when I was 14 and then sold these modifications and earned a fair amount of income for my age and effort. With the money, I then tried to build an advertising platform"
Quote
"And so with that experience I started going on this quest, kind of hustling, like bring out what kind of product I should create to make money because at the time I really wanted to be independent. I wanted to make money so I don't rely on anyone".

The IOTA community and investors have the right to know this information. I have posted it in r/Iota and r/IOTAmarkets but the posts have been removed.

Sergey Ivancheglo has published the Memorandum of Understanding that the Board of Directors of the IOTA Foundation signed five days after the 2018 Board leak.

https://www.notion.so/cleaniota/IOTA-Foundation-0c96e7936c164dfe9e8ef1218fe0e13a#327e67a54a314fa9bea3619add62543d

The revelations included in this document, make the "MoU leak" as big as the 2018 "Board leak" and the 2020 "Breakup leak".

In the 2018 Board leak, Ralf Rottmann said: “Just thinking about all of the other stuff that will come to light, makes me extremely worried”.

He later addressed the concerns of the community about this sentence.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Iota/comments/95qi3b/just_thinking_about_all_of_the_other_stuff_that/e3vg700/

The MoU sheds light on why Ralf Rottmann was "extremely worried". He feared that, in his struggle to control the Board, David Sønstebø could reveal sensitive personal information about Dominik Schiener, co-founder of the IOTA Foundation.

The MoU refers to IOTA AS and Jinn Labs as two separate entities. This contradicts David Sønstebø's claim to disgruntled Jinn investors that "Jinn Labs is IOTA AS". The MoU was signed by David Sonstebo himself.

Dominik Schiener said in the 2018 Board leak: "good luck. IOTA AS will have some serious legal issues with the advisor tokens and the impending tax audit. I am done with this. I am done with being threatened."

To avoid potential tax issues, the MoU established that all the proceeds from the "Big Deal Fund" would be owned by "Schiener & Sønstebø GbR", an unregistered partnership, and used to fulfil the advisor token "verbal" agreements, without the intervention of IOTA AS or the IF.

The MoU confirms that the IOTA Foundation transferred 0.5% of the total supply of IOTA "unclaimed" Tokens to IOTA AS, a company owned by David Sønstebø.

The MoU refers in several occasions to Serguei Ivancheglo as a shareholder of IOTA AS. Together with Sergey Ivancheglo's employment contract with IOTA AS, this contradicts David Sønstebø's recent claims stating that he is the sole owner of IOTA AS.

I submitted the news about the "MoU leak" to r/Iota and r/IOTAmarkets. Both submissions have been removed by the moderators.

IOTA investors and members of the IOTA Community have a right to know about the MoU leak.

David Sønstebø should resign from the IOTA Foundation as soon as possible, for the sake of decency and for the good of IOTA.

Hello,

My name is Hund.

I have decided to carry out an investigation into the management practices of the IOTA Foundation. I will be focusing on both potentially illegal and unethical behavior. The topics I am currently interested are the use of the IOTA Foundation resources for personal profit and the leadership practices of the members of the Board of Directors.

If you believe you have valuable information and wish to collaborate, please write to Hund at [email protected].
