This statement is being filed in an increasing number of countries probably 20-30 more in the next month.
Statement and Timeline of events
I am a New Zealand citizen born November 15 in 1962 in Blenheim I became a lawyer in 1986 and worked as a lawyer in several places around the world during the next 20 years.
November 2011
I published a successful book about the internet called The 7 Pillars Book and was the first person to sell an ebook with Bitcoin
June 2012
After learning of possibility of digital currencies for making micro payments with tiny transaction fees I made mind maps for an ecommerce/ social media platform that would use such a currency.
I set about studying everything about crypto currency building a website called webtoolswiki.com plus michaelqtodd.com and then also
crowdifyclub.com
I have not had any income from that time save for investment made by my wife Yoriko into my business. Up till now her investment is around $300,000 plus our living expenses Say around $100,000 a year for 4 years/ So total $700,000
May 2015
Hired Nathan Senn of El Dorado Arkansas to write code on my website for $25 per hour 20 hours a week. He was a promising programmer
Paid Sohel Affiriziman from Technext in Bangladesh for 3 months to teach Nathan to write code on a framework
Together with some of Sohels staff Nathan, Sohel and I built crowdifyclub.com June 2016 Flew Nathan to California and spent one month brainstorming, visiting tech conferences etc July 2016 Flew Nathan to Davao, Philippines to work together with programmers and customer support staff there. His son Connor then 1 year 1 month flew with him. I continued to pay all of Nathans expenses on a weekly basis
December 2016
Flew Nathan to Tokyo, Japan for 1 month
January 2017
Flew Nathan and Connor to Europe for 4 months to work on development of a coin and continue work on Crowdify.
I decided on name Superior Coin and designed a logo together with my staff member Kraster Lou.
Had meeting with Yoriko and Nathan to discuss how the premined coins would be shared amongst us.Nathan asked for ⅙ of first 150 million coins with Yoriko and I to get remaining 125 million coins. I said well since this had to be a 10 year thing together at least then by end of 10 years Nathan would deserve an even share so I suggested he should get 2/6 or 50 million but that our coins would only be released to each other at the rate of 10% every year.
At no point was any business relationship or shares in any company relating to the coin discussed. I paid for everything related to development of the coin. I own all the servers, computer equipment, domain names, logo, social media accounts, payment systems for sales everything.
Any other part of any profit relating to the coin for sales of any coins, any mining of any coins or any business deals relating to the coins is 100% mine. Zero to do with Nathan.
Late April 2017
I flew Nathan back to Tokyo for one more month and flew his mother Bonnie Senn to visit him and his son.
From December 2016 until June 2017 a period of 6 and a half months my wife Yoriko was the main care provider for Nathan`s son Connor.
May 2017
I flew Nathan to Taipei Taiwan together with Connor and his Filipino girlfriend Christine Alimasac
June and July -2017 worked together to build infrastructure around coin such as wallets and mining.
By Friday July 21 Nathan had taken 4 overseas trips of around a week long each and barely done any work for a month. He had begun spending our money like water and was being increasingly dishonest.
Up till this point total payments for Nathan were around $150,000 for around 110 weeks so around an average of $1200 per week over double our initial agreement. Nathan has agreed with this assessment in written messages.Since say March 2017 during the past 4 months money spent on him has been around $60,000. $5000 per week.10 times our original agreement.
During the months of June and July Nathan pretty much stopped working and spent nearly all his time playing Virtual Reality games and making overseas trips.
We were shocked to find that Nathan had changed passwords to all our important financial accounts and moved our mining pool over to his private servers.
On Wednesday 19 July I had given Nathan a written ultimatum that was shared with our other programmer Julien to return me my passwords, our hardware including our business hard drive and to do various programming tasks. There was a backlog of over 20 important tasks which had accumulated over the past month many relating to By 3pm when he had not done anything as requested I had no option but to tell him his help was no longer required.
I now firmly believe that Nathan had been planning this for a long time.
My wife Yoriko went to meet with Nathan and he abused and threatened her.
His comments and accusations became increasingly bizarre calling himself the CEO and saying I answered to him and worse.
I agreed to meet with him again on Friday with Yoriko and Nathan and Christine and our staff member Julien and I offered him a severance agreement to walk away as “friends” and be paid around $80,000.
Previous to our meeting he had sent me a draft of his requirements and I had followed everything he had said when drafting the agreement for him to sign.
In the meeting again Nathan was threatening and abusive.He even recorded a minute of our conversation that included various threats and posted it on Facebook.He told us that we were “messing with the wrong guy”.
That Friday afternoon we went to the Taipei police to report the crime and also telephoned the FBI in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. Nathan then spent around 2-3 hours doing a series of extremely serious criminal activities.
Earlier that week he and Christine had broken into our office and stolen our hard drive. The police have video evidence of them leaving the building with it.
He used the hard drive and stole all of our company records and data base. He has sent several emails to my email database of several thousand people.
He then hacked into our server account with Microsoft Azure and took down our websites from the internet.
We are still running a security audit on dozens of virtual machines for everything he might have done to our information and our code.
He went to Facebook and hacked into my account and removed me as an admin of my Facebook page and began posting a series of bizarre posts running down our coin and telling people not to buy it.
He then proceeded to create a Facebook group and offering all of our past and present team members the money he had stolen from us to work with him to completely steal our business. Luckily he invited somebody into this group who screenshotted everything that all these people were discussing and planning. There are about 100 pages of conspiring to commit various serious crimes.
Nathan then hacked into both my Twitter account and Google Account but I have managed to recover both of these. He even tried to change the emails associated with these accounts to emails in his name. He also hacked into my Instagram but I have not recovered that.
He began an online campaign together with Christine Alimasac to discredit and defame both Superior Coin and myself and Yoriko. What is posted online is impossible to erase as people screenshot it and scrape it and can pull it out and use it whenever they wish.
The damage to our reputations and our business of his hacking and his posting actions is massive. 2000 or so people have purchased coins. Nearly all these people have lost a lot of money. They are from many different countries.
During the first 4 days after the theft I continued to urge Nathan and his brother and his friends to see reason and take the offer he proposed but he refused.
I have not mentioned a single thing here that I cannot fully back up with screeds of online conversations, receipts, videos, screenshots and payment records.
There is nothing that either Nathan nor anybody else can possibly refute this statement in any way.
This is a full and honest review of our relationship and Nathan`s actions. I believe basically that he lost his mind with the 10 hour a day Virtual Reality gaming. I believe that he has always had some sort of a plan to scam me but was waiting for a good time. He waited for a period between Superior Coin going on the public blockchain (July 1) and creation of wallets (the final week of July) and being traded on public exchanges (August 8).
His obvious plan is to leave my wife and I with zero cash and zero Superior Coins after $700,000 of investment and fours years working 7 days a week and take the lot for himself.
In one account alone he has stolen around 330 Bitcoins in another there is $50,000.
On the hard drive he stole there is around 260 million Superior Coins belonging to me value before he stole them 4.3 cents each. I was making regular sales at that price 5 purchases of around $200 each every hour or so until Thursday 20 July. This is not some imaginary sum this is real money.
$12,400,000 USD. So in total $12,820,000
During the past 11 months we have faced regular harassment and hacking.
Around 15 core members have been recruited to support the theft. They are being paid with the stolen money.
All of these people have been warned repeatedly to stop their activities. Including cease and desist letters from my lawyer and public warnings on Twitter and Facebook which they have responded too. Several of them used to work for me and are well aware of the fact that Nathan Senn was merely a paid employee.
I have long standing records of conversations with nearly all these people and receipts for payments to them for their work

The Twitter accounts listed here are a big part of the theft as well. There are 500 of them so you can start to see how big this is getting. The thieves have several million dollars of my money and they pay these people daily to defame and discredit my wife and I. https://steemit.com/kryptonia/@sydesjokes/my-top-500-tweeters-for-7th-september-2018
Several crimes are being committed by all of these people on a daily basis. They all brag that as because nothing ever happens to them they see no need to stop.
