11/01/2014, 21:35:38 UTC EMUNIE IS A SCAMCourtesy of a little birdy, I take zero credit (will post your name or delete thread with your permission):eMunie is looking like it will be a scam. I am later posting this on Bitcointalk and I have everything saved to hard drive and/or screenshotted and a lot of the evidence on Google cannot be deleted.
Forewarn Disclaimer: I have no personal vendetta with Daniel. Never messaged or talked with him, but I am genuinely concerned that this guy could be pulling off the biggest heist in Altcoin history.
Case 1 - Beta Presales
http://forum.emunie.com/index.php?/topic/1094-emunie-pre-launch-sale-dutch-auction/?p=10514
Daniel claims to have 600 BTC ($500K to $600K USD) and there is a $8K investment limit. That means they needed 75 to 500 people in the beta test to take part in a beta presale. If you think people would invest into a 'beta', of all things, then I have a bridge in Somalia for sale.
Fuserleer could counter and said that BTC was raised a long time ago but still no one would invest $60K or $120K into a 'beta' - it's all bollocks.
This leads us to ask serious questions. Who are the 75 to 500 people who invested? What of the other beta testers? Where are these beta testers? They don't seem to be posting or downloading on eMunie's forum. In fact, hundreds of people have been waiting to get into the beta for months. If there were really 75 to 500 people who invested $600K then eMunie would be huge, with articles all over the net and Bitcoin investors would be nervous.
It would also break records. Mastercoin only raised the equivalent of $450K before November and that was through a huge public presale with articles posted throughout the net. NxT barely attracted any investments (which led to complaints of a monopoly), et al. So who exactly dumped $600K into eMunie?

(take a note at the number of downloads. I have this page saved in case Fuserleer modifies the numbers).
Fuserleer may bring up "well I brought the beta testers from elsewhere". Where is elsewhere? The biggest eMunie beta thread on Bitcointalk is only around 32 pages (as per January 9, 2013) and the thread contains people posting multiple times and most people didn't get into that beta.

Conclusion: Daniel is lying about the beta presales.
If Daniel is lying about that then what else could he lie about?
Case 2 - Identity
Daniel goes by the name "Fuserleer" (Google it) and you can find him on many interesting websites. From Scam Websites to Dating Websites to Conspiracy forums. Neat. I was also able to find his Plenty of Fish and his Linkedin.
http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/dan-hughes/7/b11/2a6
http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=41163580
We know Daniel is a 34 year old male, with no education, no sure status about his real profession (unless being a scammer counts), et cetera. Take a note at his age on Plenty of Fish and compare it with his Linkedin profile. Age 34 means Daniel was born in 1980.
Daniel's first listed job at was a "Senior Developer at Senior Creations" (see Linkedin), in 1996 - meaning he was only 16 years old. Did Daniel drop out of Highschool to become a senior developer? Damn - he should had dropped out at age twelve, maybe he would had been made CEO. Daniel learned so much in his first year and a half that he later made "Director of Technology" at another company.
The ludicrus claims on his Linkedin continue ad infinitum. The last salaried job was in 2005 and we don't even know if it was real. There was a Daniel Hughes at that company but the name Daniel Hughes (in the UK) may as well be "John Doe".
Therefore, we can make the immediate conclusion that the Linkedin profile consists of fake jobs, with the exception of eMunie (which I doubt is a full time job).
Case 2.5 ~ Identity and Scamming
Daniel also had membership on Blackhatworld
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/members/224492-fuserleer.html
So we know what Daniel was doing for a living - he was running scams. Just because he was banned in 2012 does not mean he stopped running his scams, he was likely doing them until March of 2013 (and still could be continuing with them).
There was a post by Fuserleer bragging about scamming $1500 in a single day.

(Fuserleer / Daniel bragging about making $1500)
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/413499-jr-vip-banned-life-paypal-how.html
(Fuserleer permanently banned from Paypal and has a court order against him. If Fuserleer uses paypal again and is caught then he can go to jail)
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/shit-list/436537-adpulse-net-owes-me-about-2200-a.html#post4191578
(Fuserleer accused of stealing $2200)
It doesn't matter why Daniel was banned from that website - no normal person posts on a website full of criminals and scammers. No normal person brags about making $1500 by stealing from other people. If Daniel took pride by stealing that much money - imagine how much pleasure it would be if he stole $1 million from Bitcoin users?
Case 3 - the forum is proof eMunie is real! Yay!
This forum is no proof eMunie is a real thing. eMunie's forum format can be downloaded by anyone for $5.

Case 4 - "but but eMunie is real cuz it was delayed several times"
That's no proof of anything. As we far as we know, Daniel is waiting until a Bitcoin ATM is open in London and then he can launder money at the ATM. People hack and broke the ATM's palm reader (the only means of identification in the Robochain ATMs) in Vancouver and Hong Kong - so Daniel can easily launder a million dollars.
The longer eMunie is active than the less likely it looks like a scam to potential victims. Bernard Madoff knows that pretty well, when he started his scam in the 1960s.
Conclusion
If you still want to invest into Daniel's scheme then you need to look up Visa Coin or Neon Coin. What Daniel is doing is no different from the other IPO scams. Daniel will run his IPO, will say "this isn't a scam because I have been around for awhile" (he was waiting for the ATM) and then steal your money. Visa Coin stole $110K. Daniel, unless you guys read this and pass this information along, WILL STEAL UP TO A MILLION.
Final Disclaimer: If Daniel comes across this information then he can address these concerns and bring in a
* * * * * * Four Simple Requests * * * * * * *
1. Public White Paper
2. Public Beta (no restrictions on joining)
3. Screenshots of Beta Presales and Public Presales
4. Optional third party escrow to receive presale investments and then hand them to Daniel after we receive our wallets. An escrow who is a reputable member on Bitcointalk with a good reputation and a long history on that website.
As I said - let's not be irrational or act like children, I made four simple requests. If Fuserleer refuses to meet them then we know Fuserleer is a scammer. My four simple requests are requirements that every IPO should follow on Bitcointalk. If you think my four simple requests are extreme then you should try investing into an IPO on the stock market, they make you go through way more hoops than the four requests I made.
In all likelihood - Fuserleer will never concede to his demands.
If Fuserleer responds, if he decides not to flee the Bitcoin world, then he will address me in one of the following ways
1. Ad Hominen. It doesn't matter who I am and what I posted, it doesn't change the evidence I provided or the fact that Daniel lied about the beta presales, his linkedin and his paper trail on the internet
2. Rhetorical response pleading people to still invest (see above, you're going to give money to a guy who is a known scammer? Don't say you weren't warned)
3. Fuserleer will seen his eMunites / Cult Followers to spam my thread and spam the report button on Bitcointalk? If a Bitcointalk moderator is reading this and, if he isn't an eMunie investor, he would know what I have written here is reasonable and the truth. The links speak for themselves. The evidence speaks for itself.
