Sameer Ismail Sam Kahn Lazarus Software Sameer Ismail stole tether during an escrow sale. Sameer aka Sam claims to be a bitcoin billionaire, he’s not. He a scammer. His mandate in California is Ziad Kahn (see the last name). Steer clear of this scumbag.
Sameer Ismail has a history of ripping off customers and employers. In January 2023 he stole $177,300.00 in tether by misdirecting a buyers funds to a wallet he controlled and then after the theft he when dark and never called anyone back. The wayward compliance chief (currently thought to be residing in Dubai) is alleged to have absconded with over 35 BTC, closer to $2 million at the time, according to the investigative source. In addition, Ismail is alleged to have photoshopped a fake seizure order from the U.K.’s National Crime Agency (NCA) for £103,000, and also created a fake invoice for a crypto asset license from the FCA for £10,000. "This is the tip of the iceberg,” said the investigator. "He used a number of methods such as creating fake email trails from customers requesting for their crypto to be sent to external wallets. These wallets were in fact controlled by Sameer.” https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/05/21/uphold-exec-accused-of-fraudulently-misdirecting-700k-in-funds/?outputType=amp

I was also scammed by him but I've been able to get my funds back. He scammed out of 0.9Btc of my hard earned money i was lost until Fortunately I met someone who had also been scammed and he referred me to fill a crypto investigating firm complaint form on bit.ly/3i3bep7 that helped in tracking and recovery of lost crypto funds, eventually they traced the IP of those scammers and used a back end to access their account and recovered all my lost crypto funds. In case anyone has also been scammed once again here is the link once again to fill their complaint form on bit.ly/3i3bep7 .I hope this awareness gets to whoever has been scammed before to help recover their lost funds.
