We’re in the middle of a system shutdown and breach and all you guys are concerned with getting paid.

You don’t actually do anything significant and this is the reason why the token is tanking.

Why arn’t you guys trying to improve processes or ensure dApps are legit?

You were part of the Neurolanch problem (i have screenshot’s saved of you saying you work for NL aswell as you corresponding with Leo if you want to try and deny - please do)

You heavily marketed and sold that Neuro token and faced no accountability.

These payments are all not justified and should be stopped immediately in my opinion.

I do more work for this eco than all of you and don’t want any payment - you guys should follow suit if you actually have passion for Astar ecosystem.

I actually just read through your report

All your screenshots are blurry and unreadable.

Exactly 100 people attending your presentation? Looks like a quarter of that anyway

You want 2,500 USD for this and posting in the forum with messages saying “thank you”

It actually all makes sense now why all of the messages from everyone seems spammy in here.

Ye’re all pumping up your metrics to get paid. JFC

Greetings FFR23, if the image quality of the posts is poor, you can check them on Linkedin:

The number of participants is around 100~. Same as the number of participants taking the course. The footage of the classroom was taken towards the end of the lesson and at some point people may have come out. Also, it is quality, not quantity, that matters here. Organizing an IRL event is more labor-intensive than organizing an online event. You’re not anonymous and you get to interact with people face to face and tell them things.

Greetings FFR23,
I understand that you don’t know much about the responsibilities of an ambassador. In case of a shutdown and violations, it is not our obligation to resolve them. This is the job of the development team, we are not developers. Our job is to communicate this process to our communities and minimize any inconvenience (I have attached an image below of the warning I sent to local community groups).

Also, regarding NL, I gave you very clear answers about NL in the AFC application, but it seems that you insist on not understanding the issue. Please read our previous messages more properly. Also, some of your statements and accusations about me are accusatory and unpleasant.

As for “all ambassadors are interested in getting paid”, the Contribution Report submission deadline is decided by the members of the “Community Council”, not us, and we are obliged to submit our Reports by the deadline “submit no later than x days”. The shutdown and the violation coincided with the deadline for submitting a report, and the two issues have a connection. As I said, our duties are different in case of breach.

The footage of the classroom was taken towards the end of the lesson and at some point people may have come out.

Exactly 100 people is a made up figure.

This speech to a college class does not justify 2,500 USD. Exactly 0 of these kids bought Astar afterwards.

I understand that you don’t know much about the responsibilities of an ambassador.

You have no real responsibilities - you’re using post metrics from this forum as a reason to get paid.

I gave you very clear answers about NL in the AFC application, but it seems that you insist on not understanding the issue. Please read our previous messages more properly.

That wasn’t me in the AFC application thread - that was another user who helped expose NL - @Logos

Also, some of your statements and accusations about me are accusatory and unpleasant.

Anyway, there is a mountain of evidence of you promoting Neuro coin - it’s all in the NL Discord.

One of many old tweets:

You had a paid role with NL as business development - it was literally your job to promote a scam project , and presumably get paid in Astar and / or Neuro token.

Where is the false accusation here? Please educate me.

You never actually apologised for your role in the NL scam - you had an inside role with the project and never raised the alarm.

You never apologised to the community who lost their hard earned money on the back of your shilling and marketing either.

You seen to have swept it under the rug and now you are claiming from the Astar treasury directly now.

Dear FFR23,

First of all, I would like to state that I am writing this text not to defend myself, but to correct misunderstandings and offer a perspective based on mutual respect.

There is an important point you may have missed or misunderstood: I never claimed that I did not help people on NL. Therefore, the screenshots you shared in this context are misleading. All of this content was shared transparently and openly, and I have no objections to it.

I have been producing content objectively for projects in Astar for over 25 months and in the crypto content creation space for over 5 years. If I were truly a “shiller” who misrepresents a project and deceives the community, it would be impossible for me to have gained trust and maintained a presence in this ecosystem for such a long time. If you ask my followers or local Astar groups, they will readily confirm how impartial I have been in my stance toward projects.

My role at NL was to support community members as “Head Ambassador.” Due to my extensive ecosystem network, I was offered the BD role, but I continued my role solely as H.A. and left the project shortly thereafter. During this process, all I did was share updates related to NL. I did not engage in any promotion, provide investment advice, or influence anyone.

I left NL when the project team, especially the founders, began to fail to keep their promises, and I announced this decision to the public with the same transparency. Months after I left, we learned that NL had completely disappeared and, as expected, had failed to keep its promises. This shows how timely my warning to the community was. Today, I receive many complaints about NL, and some people who have been harmed even thank me for warning them in time.

On the Astar side, I have always evaluated the project objectively in all my content. I never hesitated to speak out when I saw poor management, wrong behavior, or fraud. Indeed, NL was recently removed from the dApp staking list, and its founder, Leo, was removed from the Astar ambassador program. I personally removed him from the Astar Turkey group as well. Unfortunately, malicious projects like NL had made it onto Astar’s dApp staking lists, but over time, they were all weeded out. Astar learned from these incidents and developed a stronger system each time.

Despite all this, it is very sad that these accusations are being directed at me. While there are people who do not keep their word and disappear, it is not fair that I am the target of these criticisms. I am here, I am not anonymous, I am building my future in this industry, and I have never taken a step that would embarrass myself or my community.

I have always kept Astar separate from NL. In the local Astar group, I tried to set boundaries for NL content because Leo was the ambassador. I specifically advocated for using the project’s own channels for all matters related to NL.

To demonstrate my transparency, I am attaching the relevant screenshots below. (TR - ENG mixed)

Since I believe this issue is no longer a matter of a “Contribution Report,” I do not wish to prolong it here. We can continue our conversation on Telegram or wherever you prefer. You can always reach me at my Telegram address @Emret16. Believe me, I will sincerely help and answer all your questions.

Because I want to emphasize once again: You are right to be angry with NL, but you are directing your anger at the wrong person.

I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I am here to support every member of the Astar community, protect them, and strengthen the community together. And I can confidently say that I will always support anyone fighting against fraud.

Best regards,

Astar Agent~Emre
