The Turkish biotech tycoon charged with plotting the murder of a father shot dead in 2018 is a former teenage magician who allegedly faked his own medical degree to dupe US healthcare executives, including Dr. . Serhat Gumrukcu is the 39-year-old founder of Enochian Biosciences, which claims to be developing treatments for cancer, hepatitis and HIV. The company is listed on the NASDAQ with a valuation of of $137million, of which he is believed to own $98million. [https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0stanbul wikipedia.org]Hindenburg Research recently described the company's work as being rooted in an 'entirely preclinical pipeline of claimed miracle cures'. Gumrukcu founded the company claiming he had extensive medical training and a PhD from a university in Russia, but he is unlicensed to practice in the US. Prosecutors also say there is no firm proof that his degree is real. Last month, Gumrukcu was arrested at LAX Airport on suspicion of plotting the 2018 murder of Gregory Davis, a business associate who the feds think planned to report him for fraud. Now, he is in federal custody in California being held on charges of a conspiracy to commit murder. The 39-year-old's attorney insists he is innocent.

The company is listed on the NASDAQ with a valuation of of $137million, of which he is believed to own $98million Davis was found shot dead in a snowy bank on the side of the road near his home the day after a mysterious man appeared at his house, posing as a US Marshal, and claiming he needed to question him. The killer even arrived in a car with red-and-blue flashing lights. Prosecutors say Gumrukcu hired the hitman, since identified as Jerry Banks, through two middle-men to kidnap and kill Davis to stop him from reporting him to the FBI. The pair had entered an oil deal years prior but had fallen into dispute, according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com. Davis believed that Gumrukcu and his brother were lying to him about the profits of their deal. Around the same time, Gumrukcu had also been charged in California state court with writing checks that bounced.

'[The co-worker] will be at the NIH tomorrow with a scientist who has some very interesting data on hepatitis B. Gumrukcu's company is described as being rooted in an 'preclinical pipeline of claimed miracle cures' The Turkish national claims to have a medical degree from Russia - but prosecutors cast doubt over whether or not it was real in their charging documents 'I was supposed to meet with them but I am swamped with the coronavirus,' he told a staff member in the email dated February 2, 2020. It's unclear how he raised funding for Enochian, or whether or not any of its treatments are in use. Federal prosecutors say Gumrukcu and his brother - who has not been in the US for years and who lives in Turkey - were 'the only people who appeared to have a serious dispute with Davis or any motive for Davis's execution.' In 2017, Davis was threatening them about 'going to the FBI with evidence' that the were 'defrauding him' in a multi-million dollar oil deal. The deal was struck in 2015 and it's unclear what the details are, but prosecutors say the Turkish brothers 'failed to perform on the deal and made various claims about their attempts to perform'. Murder for hire: In 2018, Greg Davis was murdered in Vermont after being collected from his home by a man posing as a US Marshal. His body was found the next day in a snowy bank next to his house Davis was in a dispute with the Turkish scientist and planned to report him to the FBI when he was suddenly murdered, according to prosecutors 'Davis believed that the Gumrukcu's lied to him about various matters. During that same time, Serhat Gumrukcu was facing felony fraud charges in California state court.' At the same time, he was in the midst of obtaining a majority stake in Enochian. The indictment alleges that any complications surrounding the oil deal would have jeopardized him obtaining a majority stake in Enochian. Razzle dazzle them: Gumrukcu performing magic tricks in Turkey in 2002 Banks, the hitman who is charged with posing as the US Marshal, is friends with Aron Ethridge, a friend of Berk Eratay who worked for Gumrukcu. Ethridge has confessed his role in the plot and is expected to testify against the three other men. He said he was hired by Eratay and Gumrukcu to 'find someone to 'murder Davis and that he enlisted Banks to kill Davis.' Between June and October 2017, bank records reveal Gumrukcu sent Eratay $150,000. Eratay withdrew the cash 'in increments of $9,000 - $1,000 below the $10,000 currency reporting requirement.' The proffer claims he has a 'documented history' of fraud that includes him being arrested and charged in 2017 with felony fraud. Gumrukcu defrauded a Turkish investor out of almost $1million in a real estate investment. He told the investor that he was spending the funds on purchasing and renovating a Los Angeles home, when in fact he was spending the money on other matters. 'Gumrukcu also provided the investor with bogus documents, supposedly prepared by an attorney. The other alleged fraud scheme in the state case involved bounced checks connected to his dealings with Davis'.

'He has remained outside Turkey since then, avoiding that prosecution.' 'In 2020, he successfully sought to dismiss the Turkish case from outside the country. In spite of his failure, he chose not to return to face the charges'. Prosecutors, in their case against bail, said he was a clear flight risk. Enochian's share price has plummeted since news of the founder's arrest Gumrukcu's attorney maintains that he is innocent. He is in custody pending his next court appearance 'Common sense suggests that Gumrukcu would hide or flee rather than spend the rest of his life in jail or face the death penalty. Put simply, a wealthy citizen of a foreign country charged with murder should be detained pending trial,' they argued. The judge agreed and held him in custody pending his next court date. Enochian has tried to distance itself from him since his arrest. In a letter to shareholders earlier this month, CEO Mark Dybul tried to assuage fears by claiming the allegations were a 'smear campaign' launched by short-sellers trying to profit from the company's woes. Shares of Enochian fell from $5.88 to $3.76 after news of Gumrukcu's arrest broke. Gumrukcu has been held in custody pending his next court date.

How Musk apos;s Twitter Takeover Could Endanger Vulnerable Users

Twitter rights experts and overseas hubs hit by staff cull * Musk says moderation is a priority as experts voice alarm * Activists fear rising censorship, surveillance on platform By Avi Asher-Schapiro LOS ANGELES, Nov 11 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Elon Musk's mass layoffs at Twitter are putting government critics and opposition figures around the world at risk, digital rights activists and groups warn, as the company slashes staff including human rights experts and workers in regional hubs. Experts fear that changing priorities and a loss of experienced workers may mean Twitter falls in line with more requests from officials worldwide to curb critical speech and hand over data on users. "Twitter is cutting the very teams that were supposed to focus on making the platform safer for its users," said Allie Funk, research director for technology and democracy at Freedom House, a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on rights and democracy. Twitter fired about half its 7,500 staff last week, following a $44 billion buyout by Musk. Musk has said "Twitter's strong commitment to content moderation remains absolutely unchanged". Last week, its head of safety Yoel Roth said the platform's ability to manage harassment and hate speech was not materially impacted by the staff changes. In case you loved this article and you would like to receive more details with regards to [https://www.wiklundkurucuk.com/az/ Law Firm in istanbul Turkey] i implore you to visit our site. Roth has since left Twitter. However, rights experts have raised concerns over the loss of specialist rights and ethics teams, and media reports of heavy cuts in regional headquarters including in Asia and Africa. There are also fears of a rise in misinformation and harassment with the loss of staff with knowledge of local contexts and languages outside of the United States. "The risk is especially acute for users based in the Global Majority (people of color and those in the Global South) and in conflict zones," said Marlena Wisniak, a lawyer who worked at Twitter on human rights and governance issues until August. Twitter did not respond to a request for comment. The impact of staff cuts is already being felt, said Nighat Dad, a Pakistani digital rights activist who runs a helpline for women facing harassment on social media. When female political dissidents, journalists, Lawyer Turkey istanbul or activists in Pakistan are impersonated online or experience targeted harassment such as false accusations of blasphemy that could put their lives at risk, Dad's group has a direct line to Twitter. But since Musk took over, Twitter has not been as responsive to her requests for urgent takedowns of such high-risk content, said Dad, who also sits on Twitter's Trust and Safety Council of independent rights advisors. "I see Elon's tweets and I think he just wants Twitter to be a place for the U.S. audience, and not something safe for the rest of the world," she said. CENSORSHIP RISKS As Musk reshapes Twitter, he faces tough questions over how to handle takedown demands from authorities - especially in countries where officials have demanded the removal of content by journalists and activists voicing criticism. Musk wrote on Twitter in May that his preference would be to "hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates" when deciding whether to comply. Twitter's latest transparency report said in the second half of 2021, it received a record of nearly 50,000 legal takedown demands to remove content or block it from being viewed within a requester's country. Many targeted illegal content such as child abuse or scams but others aimed to repress legitimate criticism, said the report, which noted a "steady increase" in demands against journalists and news outlets. It said it ignored almost half of demands, as the tweets were not found to have breached Twitter's rules. Digital rights campaigners said they feared the gutting of specialist rights and [https://saforissims.org/viquipiera/index.php?title=Usuari:MarcosFlorence3 Law Firm in istanbul Turkey] regional staff might lead to the platform agreeing to a larger number of takedowns. "Complying with local laws doesn't always end up respecting human rights," said Peter Micek, general counsel for the digital rights group Access Now. "To make these tough calls you need local contexts, you need eyes on the ground." Experts were closely watching whether Musk will continue to pursue a high profile legal challenge Twitter launched last July, challenging the Indian government over orders to take down content. Twitter users on the receiving end of takedown demands are nervous. Yaman Akdeniz, a Turkish academic and digital rights activist who the country's courts have several times attempted to silence through takedown demands, said Twitter had previously ignored a large number of such orders. "My concern is that, in the absence of a specialized human rights team, that may change," he said. SURVEILLANCE CONCERNS The change of leadership and lay-offs also sparked fears over surveillance in places where Twitter has been a key tool for activists and civil society to mobilize. Social media platforms can be required to hand over private user data by a subpoena, court order, or other legal processes. Twitter has said it will push back on requests that are "incomplete or improper", with its latest transparency report showing it refused or narrowed the scope of more than half of account information demands in the second half of 2021. Concerns are acute in Nigeria, where activists organized a 2020 campaign against police brutality using the Twitter hashtag #EndSARS, referring to the force's much-criticized and now disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Now users may think twice about using the platform, said Adeboro Odunlami, a Nigerian digital rights [https://www.wiklundkurucuk.com/de/ Lawyer istanbul Turkey]. "Can the government obtain data from Twitter about me?" she asked. "Can I rely on Twitter to build my civic campaign?" ELECTION VIOLENCE Twitter teams outside the United States have suffered heavy cuts, with media reports saying that 90% of employees in India were sacked along with most staff in Mexico and almost all of the firm's sole African office in Ghana. That has raised fears over online misinformation and hate speech around upcoming elections in Tunisia in December, Nigeria in February, and Turkey in July - all of which have seen deaths related to elections or protests. Up to 39 people were killed in election violence in Nigeria's 2019 presidential elections, civil society groups said. Hiring content moderators that speak local languages "is not cheap ... but it can help you from not contributing to genocide," said Micek, referring to online hate speech that activists said led to violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar and ethnic minorities in Ethiopia. Platforms say they have invested heavily in moderation and fact-checking. Kofi Yeboah, a digital rights researcher based in Accra, Ghana, said sacked Twitter employees told him the firm's entire African content moderation team had been laid off. "Content moderation was a problem before and so now one of the main concerns is the upcoming elections in countries like Nigeria," said Yeboah. "We are going to have a big problem with handling hate speech, misinformation and disinformation."
