Azneem Bilwani, Junaid Mansoor & Burhan Mirza, and Abtach Ltd: Kings of Fentanyl and Fraud in America?

-

Today I have something big for you, my fellow avengers. The scale of this is hard to wrap your head around. It involves publicly listed criminal organizations in Pakistan, fentanyl trafficking, and a large fraud network in Texas.

Abtach Ltd (now known as Intersys) claims to be Pakistan’s fastest-growing IT firm, with operations across the U.S., UK, UAE, China, South Korea, Dubai, and Texas, and its headquarters in Karachi.

Touting itself as a global digital powerhouse, Abtach offers services like book publishing, ghostwriting, logo design, mobile app development, SEO, and branding to what it claims are over 21,000 clients. But behind the polished marketing and glowing testimonials, a very different picture begins to emerge—one that raises serious, potentially criminal concerns.

I’m publishing this blog not just to expose what’s already been alleged, but to ask a simple question:

Have you had any dealings with Abtach, Digitonics Labs, or one of the many front companies or brands run by this group?

If so, I want to hear from you. Because the deeper we dig, the more this looks like a global scam network masquerading as a tech firm — with possible ties to some of the most notorious criminals in Pakistan’s history.

What Are the Claims?

From their own (Now Archived) website, they boasted:

  • 100% customer satisfaction
  • Unlimited revisions
  • A team of over 1,500 staff
  • Offices in five countries
  • 300% turnover growth in a single year

They call themselves ethical, innovative, and client-obsessed, offering everything from animated videos and social media marketing to content management.

But the fine print tells a different story:

  • Their refund policy? Full of loopholes.
  • Their privacy terms? Vague and evasive.
  • Their terms of service? Designed to give them all the power—and you none.

What Investigators Found

Now here’s where it gets serious.

In a bombshell report by Brian Krebs, Abtach and Digitonics Labs were named as part of a transnational criminal network. These groups have allegedly defrauded victims in the U.S. and globally, using schemes like:

  • Ghostwriting scams
  • Fake trademark registrations
  • Logo design fraud
  • Advance-fee fraud involving fake oil shipments worth hundreds of thousands of dollars

One of the most shocking discoveries: Digitonics Labs, run by Junaid Mansoor and Burhan Mirza, operates ExportHub.com, a site that—at the time of writing—lists fentanyl citrate and carfentanil, along with other active pharmaceutical ingredients such as Alprazolam, Amphetamine, and Ephedrine.

This isn’t just sloppy oversight—this is dangerous trafficking disguised as digital services.

The Shell Company Web

Dozens of shell companies, often traced to the same addresses, form the infrastructure of this fraud empire. Many include “360” in their names—a clear pattern.

Some of the companies include:

360 Digital Marketing LLC, 360 Digi Marketing LTD, Digitonics Labs, Retrocube, Retrocubes, Intersys Ltd, Intermarket Securities Ltd, Supernet Technologies Ltd, eWorldTrade, Abtach DMCC, ExportHub, Octa Group Technologies AU, Talented Ghostwriter, Vox Ghostwriting, and Majestic Ghostwriting.

And it doesn’t stop there—add:

Creative Ink Labs INC, Proficient Helper LLC, Octaverse LLC, Max Mind Tech LLC, Texona Marketing LLC, Technado Pvt Ltd, Sky Soft Tech Pvt Ltd, Lezio Consultation & Technologies, and even QuranMasterOnline.com.

These aren’t just businesses. They’re tools of deception in a well-oiled transnational scam machine.

The Axact Connection

Confused by the similar names? Let me clarify.

Axact was a Pakistani company exposed by The New York Times in 2016 for running a $90 million fake degree mill. Many believe that after Axact’s exposure, Azneem Bilwani—a diversified businessman—saw the opportunity in fraud-based “software house” models and built Abtach in Axact’s image.

And he didn’t build it alone. He recruited Axact insiders, including Muhammad Salman Yousuf, now a senior figure in Abtach operating out of the UK.

According to leaked FIA reports, this network has laundered millions through upselling scams, fake publishing, and blackmail.

What Makes This So Dangerous?

This isn’t your average scam—it’s a weaponised enterprise. Investigators found:

  • Abtach and Digitonics use U.S. visas to import operatives into Texas
  • These operatives launch fake businesses backed by slick websites and Google Ads
  • Victims are blackmailed and extorted
  • Google has shut down hundreds of accounts, but many are still active
  • HSI, FBI, DOJ, and Pakistan’s FIA are involved in ongoing investigations

In 2024 alone, they’re estimated to have spent $40 million on Google Ads—raising the question: Where is all this money coming from?

The Book Publishing / Ghostwriting Scam

This is psychological warfare disguised as publishing.

They impersonate major publishers like Amazon, Penguin, or even The New York Times. Victims are baited with low upfront costs—$1,000 or less—and huge promises of 300% returns, bestsellers, and movie deals.

Then come the upsells: marketing, editing, promotional packages. Victims are pressured and groomed, like in pig butchering scams, until they’re drained emotionally and financially.

Some lose over $100,000, left humiliated and broken.

The Trademark Registration Scam

They offer trademark services at unbelievably low prices—$50 or less. Reps pose as government officials or legal experts. Then they pile on fake fees, threats, and forged documents.

The USPTO itself formally sanctioned Abtach and Digitonics—a rare move that confirms the brazen scale of this fraud.

What You Can Do

This blog is bait—I’m casting a line into the murky waters of global fraud.

If you’ve worked with, been scammed by, or helped expose Abtach/Intersys or Digitonics Labs, get in touch. I want to know:

  • Why are they running POS system companies in the U.S.?
  • Why do they have trucking/logistics companies registered in Texas?
  • Who’s funding this global web?

You can remain anonymous. But your voice can help others.

Let’s Blow the Whistle

If you’re a journalist, law enforcement agent, whistleblower, or former employee:

Now’s the time.

Let’s shut down this fraud factory before more people lose their money, identity, or peace of mind.

E1U Life: A Ponzi Scheme Disguised as AI Innovation – And Look Who’s Behind It!

  Introduction: The Scam Playbook Never Changes If you’ve followed my work as  The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger , you already know that  scammers never quit.  They just slap a  new name  on an  old scheme , sprinkle in some  AI buzzwords , and start the  recruitment cycle all over again. Enter  E1U Life , the latest  Ponzi disguised as an “AI-powered” business opportunity.  It’s being pushed by  notorious scammers  Marshonda Henderson  and  Shadrack Sure —two people who have a history of promoting fraudulent get-rich-quick schemes. And now, thanks to  new information from  BehindMLM , we also know that  David Golden  is running the show—a guy with a  direct link to serial fraudster  Dwayne Golden , who  just pled guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. With  this lineup of criminals behind it,  I don’t even have to investigate  whether E1U Life is a scam. ...

Origin LGNS Exposed: Crypto Ponzi Masquerading as DeFi with 3X Daily Profits and Cult Hype

-
Image
If you stumbled across a crypto project called ORIGIN or  OriginWorld.org , this blog is your warning label. You might’ve seen their slick graphics, cultish promises of “financial freedom,” and ridiculous claims like  7,909% APY  or a  “distributed encrypted civilization.”  It all sounds impressive until you scratch the surface and realise you’re looking at a  tech-wrapped Ponzi cult. But first, here’s how it landed on my radar. I received a  WhatsApp message  from a guy named  Don  who I thought wanted a professional review on an investment platform. Turns out, he was actually  trying to recruit me . He sent me a sign-up link for something called  Origin LGNS . He claimed it paid  0.3% every 8 hours , and that he had made  $100 in two weeks  from a  $800 initial investment , which he later topped up to  $1,000 . He said he hadn’t withdrawn any money yet because the platform was paying so well, so he ju...

BitNest’s Smart Contract Audit: Why a Clean Code Check Doesn’t Erase a Ponzi Business Model

-
Image
  Following the publication of our  Original Blog  and  YouTube  exposé on  BitNest  and Mellion Coin, we received a comment questioning whether we had properly reviewed BitNest’s smart contracts and its CertiK audit. It’s a fair question. And as always, we believe in full transparency. In this follow-up blog, we’re diving deep into the  technical side  — unpacking exactly what the CertiK audit says, what it doesn’t say, and why BitNest’s core business model remains fundamentally fraudulent despite the presence of “audited” code. What a Smart Contract Actually Means First, let’s clear up a major misconception: A  smart contract  is simply a computer program that says, “IF X happens, THEN Y automatically happens.” That’s it. It doesn’t guarantee that the  thing it’s doing  is ethical, profitable, or sustainable. A smart contract can execute a perfectly coded Ponzi scheme just as easily as it can execute a legitimate DeFi pr...
