Police have registered a case against 19 members of a family in Maharashtra's Thane for allegedly duping a man and his brother of Rs 1.17 crore under the pretext of high returns on investment in a <keyword id="23407857" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cryptocurrency-scheme" source="keywords">cryptocurrency scheme</keyword>, an official said. Based on the complaint lodged by the 42-year-old man, the case was registered at the Rabodi police station on Wednesday, he said. As per the complaint, the accused, Sabir Yakub Ghachi (50), Shakir Yakub Ghachi (45), Ruhiha Shakir Ghachi (39) and several other family members convinced the victim to invest in a cryptocurrency scheme, promising up to 12 times the returns on the invested amount, the police official said. Believing them, the victim invested Rs 91.53 lakh, while his brother invested Rs 25.69 lakh in the scheme beginning March 2022, he said. But when the complainant sought his money back, the accused gave evasive replies and also issued threats, saying they had links with influential persons. After that, the victim approached the police, he added. The case against the accused was registered under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act, 1999, the police said, adding that no arrest has been made so far.

19 members of a family booked for duping siblings of over ₹1 crore in cryptocurrency scheme

<keyword id="19897536" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Netflix" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Netflix" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Netflix">Netflix</keyword> is releasing a 3-part doc series called <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/man-with-1000-kids-jonathan-meijer">The Man with 1000 Kids</a> on July 3, where it will delve into the peculiar world of a Dutch musician and <keyword id="22216421" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="youtuber-jonathan-meijer" source="keywords">YouTuber Jonathan Meijer</keyword>. In case you’re wondering what the man done to warrant a show about him, Jonathan was also a prolific sperm donor who has allegedly duped hundreds of women globally into bearing his children. While the exact number of his offspring might be a tad debatable, most estimates indicate that the number exceeds 500. Jonathan’s productive career in <keyword id="21302754" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sperm-donation" source="keywords">sperm donation</keyword> began in 2007, with Meijer offering his sperm at a Dutch clinic. Given his blond hair, blue eyes and self proclaimed resemblance to the likes of Brad Pitt and Chris Hemsworth, Jonathan’s sperm was a huge hit. But as things took off, he is said to have developed some sort of obsession with the process. Dutch law restricts sperm donors to a maximum of 25 children, but that little detail didn't seem to faze Meijer. In a span of ten years, he bypassed regulations, racking up a staggering 102 clinic-conceived children before getting caught in 2017. With blonde-haired, blue-eyed children popping up everywhere, mothers began connecting the dots. Realising Meijer's baby boom far exceeded legal limits, they formed the Donorkind Foundation to stop him. One mother, Eva, spoke of her horror upon discovering the truth: "Knowing he fathered over 100 children, I never would've chosen him." The foundation launched a lawsuit against Meijer, highlighting the potential health and ethical implications of such a vast number of half-siblings unknowingly existing. Banned as he was in the Netherlands, Meijer wasn't deterred. He went international and is said to have used aliases and international clinics to continue his, well, procreation mission. However, a court in 2023 finally put a stop to Meijer's donations, ordering him to contact clinics and request the destruction of his remaining samples. However, existing parents seeking additional siblings for their children can still access those samples. Meijer's reasons for his supersized sperm donations remain murky. Theories range from an unhealthy fixation on fatherhood to a Guinness World Record-chasing ambition. He claims a desire for a traditional family life now, but that narrative clashes with his alleged past behaviour. What does Meijer do now? Believe it or not, he has a YouTube channel where he discusses his experiences, demon-banishing techniques, and his views on traditional wives. He also appears to be globetrotting, with videos filmed in Tanzania and Italy. As far as the <keyword id="22216422" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Netflix-doc-series" source="keywords">Netflix doc series</keyword> is concerned, we have it on good authority that Meijer has refused to participate in it. In fact, he has also criticised its sensationalised title and the implication that he's had exactly 1,000 children. He claims a desire to tell his own story and expresses concern about the potential impact on his offspring. Netflix has yet to comment on whether families involved with Meijer were contacted about the documentary. One thing's for certain: the story of <keyword id="22216419" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jonathan-Meijer" source="keywords">Jonathan Meijer</keyword> is a complex one, raising questions about ethics, consent, and the ever-evolving landscape of parenthood.

Initially, he asked the victim about his family members, shared his own family photographs and talked about their mutual colleagues. Later, the scammer called the victim and claimed that he was at the Dubai airport, waiting to board a flight to India. He then claimed that his sister-in-law was being prepped for an emergency surgery in Mumbai and an advance of ₹40,000 was needed. Radhakrishnan was initially sceptical and did not wish to send the money fearing an online scam. The scammer then said that he would immediately video call to put Radhakrishnan’s fears to rest. The scammer then video-called Radhakrishnan and spoke to him for 25 seconds. The victim has claimed that the scammer looked exactly like his friend and spoke like a normal person. This prompted him to send ₹40,000 to the scammer. The scammer then again called the victim, asking for an additional ₹35,000.

AI-savvy scammer uses deepfake video to steal ₹40,000 via WhatsApp

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A new creator has been thriving in the space Andrew Tate left behind while in jail.</li><li>Pearl Davis appeals to a similar audience, and spiked in popularity since Tate was arrested.</li></ul>While Andrew Tate is <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andrew-tate-denied-bail-romania-prison-rape-human-trafficking-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">locked up in Romanian jail</a>, mostly unable to communicate with his fans, another creator is gaining traction.Hannah Pearl Davis, known as just Pearl, is booming in popularity with a brand of anti-feminist content that lands differently since she is a woman herself.Davis, who is 26, saw her YouTube audience grow 50% in the three months since Tate was detained, per the analytics tool Social Blade. Her subscriber base jumped from around 800,000 to 1.3 million in that timeframe.She has increasingly been nicknamed the "female Andrew Tate," including by critics who consider her the latest celebrity misogynist.Her podcast "The Pregame" sees Davis debate with and criticize feminists, praise Tate's teachings, and present herself as a rare champion for a male point of view.Unlike Tate, Davis does not consider herself a misogynist, telling Insider via a direct message that "I don't hate women."Instead, she argued, criticism of her work is the inevitable backlash now that "finally there is a form of media that advocates for men."As well as a ready YouTube audience — which viewed her videos some 200 million times since December — Davis regularly goes viral on TikTok. There, videos with the hashtag #justpearlythings have over 300 million views, making headway on the platform where Tate's soundbites also found their most receptive audience. Breakout clips include her arguing that <a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYxshLqE/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it's a woman's fault</a> if her male partner cheats, that men should be able <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sa_ra_garvey/video/7107658749883583750?_r=1&amp;_t=8apPXkxxBSw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to hit women back</a>, and that women don't deserve <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@queenofhatertok/video/7137067248707177774?_r=1&amp;_t=8apQQqHaDiv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a man "who makes 6 figures"</a> if they are obese. "A lot of you guys are shitty wives," Davis said in one recent video, viewed 3.2 million times, blaming infidelity on a woman's looks and behavior. "You don't cook for your man, you belittle him, you nag on him all the time. You don't treat him like a man." In several follow-up videos Davis responded to the negative criticism she'd attracted and doubled down on her view."Are Western women typically known as good wives?" she asked. "Are they sought after all over the world, or are men getting their passports and going elsewhere?"In another video, which got 1.6 million views, she said that when unmarried women get pregnant it is "99.9999% the woman's fault."<h2>A pivot to gender-wars content that paid off fast </h2>Davis grew up in Chicago, Illinois <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOu594bXkq0&amp;ab_channel=JustPearlyThings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 10-bedroom home</a> with her nine siblings and parents, software entrepreneurs Dan and Jennifer Davis.Her mother for a time was on the board of directors for UN Women USA, an independent charity that supports the gender-quality programs of the United Nations.In 2020, Davis started posting on both TikTok and YouTube, starting with lighthearted content about her life: subjects like the time her dad bought a massive waterslide for their backyard, or funny moments with her mom.She amassed around 100,000 followers on her first (now-deleted) TikTok account with a series called <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tiktok-why-did-we-break-up-232821902.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Breakup Quiz,"</a> where she helped people work out why they were dumped.She also gained some exposure from her brief <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@baewatch86/video/7148274289186327851?_r=1&amp;_t=8WJabTFMPn9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship in 2021 with Oneya D'Amelio</a>, a TikToker who found early fame on the app for his aggressively positive messages under the name "AngryReactions."Davis told Insider she got interested in YouTube in college, and from there became set on a media career."I really enjoyed watching Ben Shapiro, Thomas Sowell, and some other YouTubers," she said, namechecking two heroes of the US political right known for stridently opposing left-wingers.In the past year, Davis has entered that same sphere, teaming up with manager Coby DeVito, a former colleague of Shapiro at The Daily Wire.Davis started gaining consistent traction around May 2022, surging from a modest 25,000 subscribers to over half a million in six months. The boom was driven by increasingly edgy content. She moved to London and found success filming interactions with people on the street, asking them questions about dating, like if "sleeping around" is different for men or women, or whether it matters what a woman's "body count" is.In more recent months Davis has leaned into snappy podcast clips with so-called "red pill" guests (<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/red-pill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a "Matrix" reference</a>), most notably <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TuilbZ1j58&amp;ab_channel=JustPearlyThings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tate himself</a> before his arrest.Her videos boast of her "owning" feminists in debates and mocking the beliefs and values of modern women.As of March, Davis has over 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube and 410,000 TikTok followers. On YouTube, her following is almost twice as large as the 700,000 Tate had when he was banned from the platform.Davis attributes her success to fighting men's corner, saying there is "not a lot of empathy" for them online."Men are discriminated against in society by the legal system and feminists at large," she told Insider."The women that follow me watch it because they too see the larger issue, men watch it because finally there is a form of media that advocates for men."<h2>Other creators see warning signs in Pearl's success</h2>Laura Danger, who has a TikTok audience of 460,000 for her social-justice content, told Insider she believes Davis is emulating Tate's success, reaping the rewards of perpetuating harmful gender dynamics as "another cog" in the misogyny machine."The deeper she gets into this misogynistic messaging, the more she's being rewarded by these men," Danger said. "She is getting a ton of attention, especially from men who are saying, 'Yes, finally someone is telling the truth, you are the one, you get it.'"Steven Bonnell, better known by his streaming alias Destiny, has debated Davis several times in YouTube videos, arguing against her claims that "women like to be cheated on," that women have it "easier" in society, and her reluctance to believe <a href="https://www.insider.com/andrew-tate-tiktok-explains-loverboy-method-he-is-accused-of-2023-1">the sex-trafficking allegations against Tate</a>.Bonnell told Insider that Davis and those like her create a strong connection with audience by saying "things that people on the other side of the political aisle won't acknowledge," including ways some men feel the dating scene is unfair.He said she also rightly focuses on men's mental health as a wrongly marginalized issue. But from there, he argued, she leads audiences to wrong conclusions.Barrett Pall, a life coach and TikToker with 2 million followers who posts about fighting misogyny, sees Davis as part of a larger reactionary trend. Davis is a response, he said, to male dominance "truly being challenged at a very, very big scale in a way that we've never seen before." "She is part of patriarchy's ability to have women sit and internalize misogyny, which harms themselves," he said.Responding to that claim, Davis told Insider: "Misogyny is the hatred of women. I don't hate women.""For some reason acknowledging a basic truth like men and women are different is labeled as misogyny nowadays," she said. <h2>Riding a tide of rage-clicks</h2>Mia Shah-Dand, the CEO of the tech consultancy Lighthouse3, noted that inflammatory content drives engagement, and can tempt creators to make claims they don't necessarily believe."Even well-meaning people become dupes in their whole cycle of just getting hatred ratings," she said. "They just found this market that they can tap into and they just will ride this wave to the top."Davis denied exaggerating her opinions for rage clicks, though she did concede that short clips on platforms like TikTok inherently don't have much nuance.Davis' posts have got her into occasional trouble, including a brief ban from TikTok in January, from which she quickly recovered."I will say a lot of clips can be taken out of context in a 3-hour podcast, so many don't get the context of the discussion," she said. "But all in all, no, I stand on what I say."Pall said while Davis is clearly enjoying the notoriety and the followers for now, she may one day find she is "hurt by her own rhetoric.""She has to be perfect and not end up a single mom, or not end up pregnant, out of marriage, or gaining weight, or whatever else it is," he said. "She's on a pedestal, and the only place to go from there is down."
