Redaction policy

I removed information only to protect people who never agreed to be published, and to avoid handing anyone a way into systems or accounts. Every redaction and withheld file is listed in the deletion log below, with its reason.

What is shown

• My own address. My name and home address appear where I posted them in the chat, for example #4417. They are shown with my consent. The card number in that message is masked.
• Messages that criticise me, or that I disagree with, and my own messages that are naive, crude or worse. I did not redact anything because it makes me look bad.

What is removed

• Card details. The card number, expiry date and security code are masked. The rest of the message is shown.
• Private people. The names of people who are not public figures, including customers and early staff, are replaced with their role, for example [redacted: staff member]. The message itself stays.
• Customer data: names, usernames, email addresses, wallet addresses, balances, and identity or KYC documents.
• Credentials and infrastructure: passwords, keys, API tokens, staging links and server addresses.
• Remarks about private people. A small number of crude remarks about identifiable private people are removed to protect those people. Some of them were mine. Each one is in the log as “crude remark”.
• Images. Where an image shows private information, that part of the image is masked (a name, an avatar, a customer detail) and the rest is shown. Where masking is not enough, for example images that show customer records, locations, a home or a number plate, the whole image is withheld and a placeholder with the reason is shown instead.

In the chat, removed words appear as a black bar with the reason, for example [redacted: customer data]. Withheld images, videos and files appear as a dashed box with the reason.

Gaps in the export

Telegram numbers every message, so a missing number means a message that was deleted. 663 message numbers are missing from the export. They were deleted before publication: some by me, when I removed customer data and data about unrelated people and early team members before making the group public #7598, and others earlier by other members. Until 28 September 2026 I had no admin rights in this group; Chuck, as owner, could delete any message, and every member could delete their own.

Telegram does not show who deleted a message, or when. I cannot tell you which gaps are mine and which are not, and I can’t recover the deleted messages from the export. Each gap is shown in the chat as a marker and is listed on this page, so nobody mistakes a gap for a missing page. Some gaps fall at sensitive points, and I understand why that raises questions.

The original group and the unredacted chat

Before preparing this site, I deleted some messages from the group that contained customer data or details about early staff and unrelated people (#7598). That did not remove all personal data: many of the remaining messages still contain customer names, emails, balances, support tickets and screenshots. On this site those are redacted (436 text redactions and 148 images masked or withheld, all listed on this page) so that every message can still be read in context; deleting all of them instead would have removed most of the record. The authorities will get everything, including the messages I deleted. That is why the original Telegram group stays private: it still contains customer data and data about third parties. This site is the complete redacted copy of it: everything in my export is published here, except the removals listed on this page. There is no public invite link to the original group.

Law enforcement: please contact me on Telegram at @nayiem and I can give you access to the original group and the unredacted chat, as I hold it.

Journalists: all the messages are on this site. If you want to check a specific message against the original group, contact me on Telegram at @nayiem.

What this can’t tell you

This is one participant’s export. It shows what was said in this group, not what was said in private messages, calls or other channels.

Visitor statistics

This site counts its own visits, with no cookies and no third-party scripts. IP addresses are never stored: each visit is counted with a one-way hash that uses a random value replaced every day, so a visitor can be counted once a day but not recognised on another day. Your browser keeps one flag in local storage, only to tell new visitors from returning ones, and a random id for the open tab, deleted when you close it, to measure time on page and show how many people are reading now. Only the name of a referring site and your country are recorded, never full addresses. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, only an anonymous page view is counted. The statistics are kept for 90 days.
