Fraud by Farhad Moghadamsalimi

In this article, I will discuss the allegation of Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud or scam, which Mohammad Jorjandi raised. The title of this article is: Fraud of Farhad Moghadam Salimi ! The answer to the baseless money laundering and fraud accusations and Ponzi Mohammad Jorjandi from Web Amooz. Mohammad Jorjandi was sentenced to jail for this crime. 

In 2018, on the 29th of September, Mr. Mohammad Jorjandi, A wanted Iranian who had escaped to America and is now a resident of America, accused me of money laundering of millions of dollars with voucher codes and Bitrolium digital currency on his website. During a video on his website, he claimed that I was laundering money and gambling and raised other charges such as theft, fraud, and Ponzi. Mr. Mohammad Jorjandi is a whistleblower who is active in the field of reporting internet fraud, and his website is known to some extent among internet activists.

Of course, from the point of view of a reader who knows neither me nor Mr. Jorjandi, this article will seem very trivial, which may not be worth discussing, but it has details that I am sure others will appreciate hearing.

At the same time and almost immediately after this slander, I went to the court so that if his words were true, I would be punished, and if his words were false, he would be punished. After the expert examination of the case in different stages, the court proved Mohammad Jorjandi’s conviction for the crime of defamation and publication of falsehoods.

In this article, I intend to provide as detailed explanations as possible to clarify the issue and, at the same time, address how easily entrepreneurs’ reputations and businesses in Iran can become the toy of self-righteous thinkers who have nothing but ruining art and have never built anything in their lives.

Of course, no one has a problem with whistle-blowing and shaming criminals. But to consider ourselves absolutely right, to include our personal instincts and grudges in our judgments, and to slander and defame whoever we want is something that no common sense can do.

Baseless-accusations

Enmity with the so-called warning persons and insisting on their baseless accusations

When a whistle-blower feels that, for some reason, a person or persons are committing fraud or wrongdoing, he/she informs the legal authorities while preserving the privacy and dignity of the persons and, at the same time, announces to the public that ” There is a possibility that someone is doing something wrong and working with this person may harm the users.

But if someone creates his own baseless reasons—which, unfortunately, we will prove in the case of Mr. Jorjandi that he made these reasons out of his hostility—destroys a person and a business and calls him a fraud without being proven in a court of law, one should doubt the evil intention of this person.

The warning person (whistleblower) sees corruption, warns and announces corruption, and asks the relevant authorities to pay attention to his warning and investigate the suspicious case, so that if the accusation is true, the person who committed corruption and crime will be punished.

So far no one has a problem with warning and blowing the whistle.

The problem here is that even after the police and judicial investigation, if no crime is found, the person who gave the warning will still remain on his claim due to ignorance and pride or stubbornness and enmity.

It is an important issue that the credibility of the warning person depends on the "correctness" of his claims, and if it is found that he made accusations and slanders without any reason, his dignity and credibility will be damaged quickly and no one will pay attention to his slanders. Therefore, he tries his best to show that the claims and slanders he made were not baseless and illusory.

These types of people have a strong desire to be seen in terms of their personality and strongly create populist and popular reasons for their actions. For this reason, they desperately need to be accepted by others, and in this way, they do not shy away from character assassination and dishonoring others. In fact, for their audience to understand that these are fake heroes, it really annoys them.

Conviction of Mohammad Jojandi in court

Mohammad Jorjandi’s baseless accusations of Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud

Mr. Mohammad Jorjandi, after his baseless accusations were proven to be meaningful in the court and couldn’t prove  Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud, even after we answered all his allegations in the Judicial Courts, continued to insist that the references were corrupt and uneducated, and probably only he himself is righteous and Literate!

Therefore, for third parties to be aware of their talks and our answers, we decided to publish the answers in several separate videos with their complete explanations.

Farhad Exchange, which I directly managed until 2019, is a small but strong and energetic business. Our office with 30 full-time staff and 27 part-time staff with a specific address is fortunately close to the Ministry of Information, FATA Police and District 31 Prosecutor’s Office (Tehran’s computer crimes) and has always been responsive to any institution in the country.

Farhad Exchange has been active in the market since 2004 and is one of the oldest startups in Iran. At the beginning of Farhad’s work, on e-currency exchanges, Liberty Reserve, and then Web Money and Perfect Money, and then digital currencies were used. We are the official representative, registrar and official officer of WebMoney electronic payment bank belonging to Russia. Farhad Exchange offers buying and selling services of all electronic currencies and cryptocurrencies, PayPal, Visa card and MasterCard on its sites for people who need invoice payment services abroad.

We have been around for more than 20 years, and we have always responded quickly, even with a phone call to these centers. But unfortunately, the accusers are not publicly available, and they are even afraid to expose themselves. They sit there and say whatever they want. We have always responded quickly, even with a phone call to legal centers and legal authorities. 

Even now, if someone thinks we owe him even one Iran’s Rial, we are available to answer all kinds of accusations in courts all around the work. 

The fact that we are still standing after 20 years of financial activity in the most difficult exchange market in the world is a strong proof of the correctness of our performance.

The reason for the response to Jorjandi’s accusations of Farhad MoghadamSalimi’s fraud

In the first part of the answer to the baseless accusations of money laundering, fraud, and Ponzi raised by Mohammad Jorjandi, I intend to explain to you the reason for dealing with this issue first. After the accusations of Farhad MoghadamSalimi’s fraud, I have been and will be accountable to all the judicial authorities of the country. It is clear that the security authorities investigated our work long before them, and the result is our continuous and uninterrupted activity since 2004, equivalent to 1383 Shamsi, until now.

The Farhad Exchange website started its activity from a Yahoo group with the same name in 2004 and is now entering its 20th year of activity.

I answered in four separate judicial authorities after Jorjandi’s accusations regarding Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud, and there was no need for further explanation. Then, one day, due to the acquittal of a person whom I had a negative view of, a thought came to my mind.

My point of view and thinking about the acquittal of this person was the inaccuracy of his trial. In fact, in the first place, this thought did not come to my mind that it is possible that this person is right and the court has proceeded correctly, but what came to my mind before anything else was that this person must have done the wrong thing, but for some reasons, he was able to twist the court as it is known.

This is the famous term Correspondence Bias. In this type of prejudice, for example, when a terrible car driver overtakes us, we attribute this driver’s action to his stupid, or evil character and we don’t think that maybe this person has an ill person in the car. Familiarity with this type of prejudice made me more cautious in my judgments.

With this prejudice people may also have their own prejudice following the fraud accusations of Farhad MoghadamSalimi. Despite my trouble-free trials, they may imagine that this issue was “somehow” resolved in my favor. Therefore, despite the conviction of Mohammad Jorjandi for the crime of defamation and publication of falsehoods, I felt it necessary to give a public response to people who have a negative prejudice regarding Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s false accusations of fraud.

The first reason and response to Mohammad Jorjandi’s baseless accusations

In the following video, like a judicial expert, I will examine each and every accusation in detail to show that the allegations of Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud were made only out of intent and disease, and in the best case, out of illiteracy and ignorance. On September 29, 1998, Mr. Mohammad Jorjandi, a resident of the United States, accused me of laundering millions of dollars with vouchers codes on his website, which is a web site.

Of course, I have tried to respond in text lines as well, but I think the best thing to do is to watch the following video:

The first reason given by this person in the fraud accusations of Farhad Moghadam Salimi is that:

The question is, what date was the first time these codes were introduced as a payment method on the 1xbet site? By checking the Persian educational channel of this site, we come across this post, which is related to 17 months ago.

In his speech, Mr. Jorjandi emphasized the date and showed on the channel with an image that the date was August 8, 2017. His justification is that the file posted on this channel indicates the truth of his speech and the occurrence of this incident.

In response to this reason – which is Mr. Jorjandi’s first reason for accusing me of money laundering and fraud – let’s assume that his reason is correct. In fact, a third party, seeing the Telegram channel that Mr. Jorjandi brought as proof of his statement, if he trusts Mr. Jorjandi, will confirm his statement without investigation and will not see any problem so far. . . but… but we are sorry that trusting Mr. Jorjandi is a mistake because by referring to a certified expert, the expert will pay attention to 217 members of the Telegram channel and Mr. Jorjandi’s certificate will immediately turn out to be fake.

According to Mr. Jorjandi himself, the 1xbet site is a million-dollar money laundering site. In the continuation of his article, he also quoted one of the informants, who stated: All Iranian gambling sites compared to the foreign site 1xbet are like ten against 100!

Well, the relevant expert states that how can a Telegram channel of a site with a million people have only 217 members?! Having only 217 members in the official educational channel of such a site that you make so big is a contradiction, and since this channel has not been introduced anywhere, it is clear that Mr. Jorjandi himself created this channel for filing.

اولین دلیل و جوابیه اتهامات بی اساس محمد جرجندی

The fact that the official educational channel of the 1xbet site is fake

By looking at the number of members of the official educational channel that Mr. Mohammad Jorjandi has presented in the accusation of Farhad Moghadamsalimi’s fraud of millions of dollars with vouchers codes, two opinions can be considered:

  1. The 1xbet site is a small site, and the laundering of millions of dollars and having 90% of the alleged market are lies.
  2. The educational channel you cited is fake.

Now, if we want to say that this channel is official with 217 members, the opinions of the informants and the fact that it is a million-dollar money laundering will be a lie. Even if we say that this channel is fake, the whole reason for your accusation is a fake document.

Now, the escape is to say that it is true that it has 217 members, but it has 5295 views! Again, 5296 contradicts the millions of dollars of money laundering and the opinions of informants about 90% of Iran’s market.

But if we consider this as correct, in order to clear this doubt, if you click on the link posted as the official channel of the 1xbet site, we will see that the views are 61, 170, 128, etc., generally below 200 to 300. Therefore, this channel has typically the same 212 members with 200-300 views. The contradiction of 5,000 views can only be justified if you go to Mr. Jorjandi’s Telegram channel and see the link of the group, which has about 5,000 views. In fact, the peak view of 5,000 is due to the instructions and links of Mr. Jorjandi and is not related to the group members.

For Mr. Jorjandi, who calls many experts illiterate, it is better to accept that this channel is fake. Because if they say that the channel with 219 members belongs to a million-dollar site, they will find themselves a common and special joke, but if they accept that the channel is fake, they will consider him ignorant and uneducated at most, who based their valid reasons on the foundation of the fiction.

The number of members of Mr. Jorjandi’s fake channel

The number of members of his channel is also false and fake like his other claims and he has at least 20,000 fake members. In reality, real members of a Telegram channel are about twice as many views as a post if at least 48 hours have passed since that post. Despite being forwarded by his staff, most of his posts have about 5000 views. This shows that about 10,000 members are real and the rest are fake.

Conclusion from the first answer to the false accusations of Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud

Based on the above explanation, it was found that the group and the content introduced to me under the charge of fraud by Farhad Moghadam Salimi were completely false and fake. It should be noted that when you accuse a person, the accusation must be investigated and confirmed by experts and the court. Fake and false claims can be posted on the Internet, but there is no place for such materials in the court, and that is why Mr. Jorjandi was failed in the court and sentenced to prison. 

Before the conviction of Mohammad Jorjandi for the crime of defamation and publishing lies, we asked him many times to either admit his mistakes or instead of calling the experts uneducated, come to Iran and prove my crime in a court of law, which they evaded under various titles.

The second reason for Jorjandi’s baseless accusations of Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud

In the continuation of Mr. Mohammad Jorjandi’s baseless accusations regarding Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud, his reason and his following sentence is that:

“And what’s more interesting is that the Russian betting site has launched its Persian section”

After this irrelevant sentence, he also left an irrelevant picture. To understand this irrelevant text and photo, it is possible to realize that Mr. Jorjandi intended to insinuate without any reason or evidence and only through a psychological trick that:

1- At the same time, the Persian section of the gambling site was launched.

2- This action was carried out in cooperation with Farhad Exchange.

From this trick of his, we can understand that if he had a 1% reason for what he said, he would have provided it, but he didn’t come up with anything. And instead he has resorted to trickery.

In addition, the site url is a 102 filtered url. People who use filtered sites know that, for example, sites start from press 1, 2, 3, 4 and bring up other sites as the site is filtered. Betting sites and filter breakers use these numbers in order to bypass Iran’s filter trap.

This site of yours is 102 and this indicates that this site is from 1, 2, 3, 4 and .. It started and considering that each filtering of the site takes about 2 to 3 months, it must have taken a long time for this site to reach 102. It is completely irrelevant that Mr. Jarjandi claims that the Persianization of the site was related to this date.

The third answer to the baseless charge of Mohammad Jorjandi regarding futures codes

In continuation of his baseless accusations regarding the fraud of Farhad Moghadam Salimi, Mr. Jorjandi has said that:

"Searching the internet, we find that no site on the internet recognizes this code..."

At the end of this sentence, they don’t give any explanation and they don’t do any search on the internet for the truth of what they say. Now, here we come to the question why Mr. Jorjandi, who knew that this sentence is one of the main foundations of his case-making, left it without any reason or proof?

The answer is clear because not only did he have no reason and evidence, but on the contrary, the reasons and evidence proved the exact opposite of this.

With a simple search, you will find that there are many sites that recognize this code. His speech is not illiterate, it is lying and deception (for a better view of the reasons, be sure to watch the video).

The ridiculous accusation of DEDICATE and its answer

In a part of his video, it is said that:

"The story is that a crypto exchange like FarhadExchange earns its living from those who want to play on gambling and betting sites, that is, by buying and selling Perfect Money and... because most of these sites accept Perfect Money. But Farhad is a greedy person! That is, he was greedy and wanted to make a DEDICATE income!"

According to Mr. Jorjandi’s clear speech in the video and the clear text, what he means by DEDICATE is that FarhadExchange wants to be monogamous and greedy and invented a code called PS Voucher to specifically serve betting sites.

A simple search on the internet shows that firstly, PS Voucher codes are bought and sold by many sites and it is not exclusive to FarhadExchange. Secondly, these codes are used in the digital currency industry. Of course, betting sites naturally use digital currencies like any other site.

In fact, by searching the words of purchase and sale of PS Voucher in Google, it is clear that Mr. Jorjandi does not know the meaning of DEDICATE or the concept of searching on the Internet!

The fourth groundless accusation of Mohammad Jorjandi

Mr. Jorjundi continued his sentence and said that:

"Of course, after raising this issue in the web learner channel, Farhad put a text exchange on the site to validate this code."

Here too, this gentleman has brought a text without documents.

In fact, FarhadExchange’s supplementary explanations about PS Vouchers codes were added to our site long before Mr. Jorjandi presented the codes. More than 10 different digital and electronic currencies are sold on FarhadExchange website.

Referring to his Telegram channel, you can examine Mr. Jorjandi’s level of self-confidence in lying and making cases. In the posts of his Telegram group, Mr. Jorjandi calls his lies and cases absolute and undeniable documents. Unfortunately, someone who has reached this level of delusion should be taken to a psychiatrist.

The reason for replying to Mr. Jorjandi after four years of filing his case

The reason for these videos and the explanations given following the accusations of Farhad Moghadamsalimi’s fraud by Mr. Jorjandi is not just my case. In fact, this issue is due to the rooting of producers and activists in the economic field and independent start-ups with a beautiful ax in the name of fighting corruption, theft, and embezzlement; it has turned into a dangerous trend that has broken the backs of producers and the capital of economic activists. It has pushed it abroad, and unfortunately, this ISIS thinking has supporters among many strata.

Of course, it should also be considered that calling a person a fraud without having valid and sufficient documents and insisting on it is a crime, and the accusers must be held accountable for the accusations made.

Conviction of Mohammad Jorjandi for defamation and publication of lies

Following my follow-up in response to Farhad Moghadam Salimi’s fraud charges raised by Mr. Jorjandi, he has confessed to the crime of defamation and published his lies in the video below. In fact, in the following video of Mohammad Jorjandi’s conviction for the crime of defamation and publishing lies, he said:

"The judge of the case said, Jorjandi, why did you call him a fraud? From a legal point of view, the judge's words were correct. In fact, the judge said that he is not a fraudster and has not been convicted of fraud in any court. Why did you call him a fraudster??? On this issue, I confirmed that we slandered and published lies. My sentence was a fine and flogging, which was protested, but I was sentenced to one year of imprisonment and flogging....
