UNHCR’s Exit from Turkey Shut Down Adam Moradi’s Asylum Scam Operation
In September 2018, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) ceased registering new asylum cases in Turkey, transferring the responsibility entirely to Turkey’s Presidency of Migration Management (PMM). Before this transition, asylum seekers, including Iranians, could apply for refugee status through UNHCR in collaboration with the Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants (ASAM). This shift drastically altered the asylum landscape in Turkey, making it more difficult for individuals to manipulate the system. Around this time, businesses like Adam Moradi’s Panahjooyan.com and Mohajeran TV, which had profited from selling fabricated asylum cases, began losing their market. By 2020, Moradi and his associates shut down their immigration websites and social media pages related to asylum services. Their sudden exit from the asylum fraud industry coincides with the Turkish government’s crackdown on asylum fraud networks and the reduced ability to exploit the system under PMM’s centralized control. By 2021, Adam Moradi had completely rebranded himself as a cryptocurrency trader, removing all references to his past asylum consulting business. His LinkedIn profile transformation from an “Immigration Consultant” to a “Crypto Trader” strongly suggests an intentional effort to erase his involvement in fraudulent asylum cases and shift into a new, unregulated financial market where he could continue monetizing his influence.
Adam Moradi’s Crypto Fraud: From Fake Asylum Cases to Illegal Exchanges
After shutting down his fraudulent asylum case business in Turkey, Adam Moradi (Khashayar Moradverdi) quickly rebranded himself as a cryptocurrency trader, using platforms like Instagram and Telegram to lure new victims. According to ScamMinder’s investigation (source), Moradi transitioned into running unlicensed and unregulated crypto exchanges in Dubai, targeting Iranian users. Operating without proper licensing from UAE authorities such as the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), his platforms violate anti-money laundering (AML) laws and Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. His scheme includes white-labeled scam exchanges like TheTrueTrade.io, which promise easy profits but ultimately function as a front for fraudulent trading and money laundering. By leveraging the anonymity of blockchain, Moradi continues to deceive investors while evading legal consequences. ScamMinder’s report exposes how these fraudulent crypto operations threaten financial security and highlight the urgent need for regulatory crackdowns.
