The never ending transfers of Nicholas Janitsary and the money that never was.

Nicholas Janitsary has a SOP, it doesn’t vary that much with any of his victims it seems. Initially he talks huge figures, millions of dollars, pounds, whatever currency is his victim’s choice. He wax’s lyrical on his access to huge funds, usually because of his ‘work’ with either Ruler’s, Sheiks, or Middle East Governments, though he also invents mythical Chinese billionaires as close friends. Once his victim is hooked, he moves everything up as notch, and this is where Janitsary transfers from everyday bullshitter to fraudster, but it is a somewhat odd transition. Janitsary seems to want to be viewed as a ‘player’ someone who can get you the contract, someone who is connected. His name dropping is Olympic standard, from Mike Pompeo to his great school friend Justin Trudeau, his close working relationship with the Ruler of Dubai where he emphasises the trust the Ruler places in him alone, alludes to ‘sensitive’ assignments carried out on their behalf. So like every good con man he has the schtick, hook and over a period of time you find yourself seduced by all his promises. He then begins a long, drawn out complicated fraud, but not in the usual sense. He sends a bank remittance , it seems legitimate, both to you and indeed your bankers, a week passes, no funds, you tell him, and now the Janitsary SOP , he begins with he will initiate a trace his end, this being the Middle East takes longer he claims, then it’s an issue as it did not have your address, which is required, incorrect, name, wrong account ,the usual con man’s lexicon, then it has been recalled by the Ministry, being reissued, etc,etc.The reality is more prosaic , no such transfer existed in the first place, and he has wasted perhaps 12 weeks of your time promising it will be resolved, in the meantime funds are being arranged , , by the Ruler’s office, a Swiss bank , A British private bank in London, various documents from these various sources are sent , yet now 11 months on nothing appears.The victim has disappeared in Janitsary’s parallel universe and their reality has shrunk to e mails and messages with daily supposed updates sprinkled with various supposed meetings with Government ministers, Crown Princes etc, and more promised contracts, Janitsary’s game, to make his victim utterly reliant on him, it is a weird, twisted and ultimately deadly game he plays, all from a laptop or phone, the victim now some cruel plaything for his amusement. Janitsary’s SOP continues without pause, he is arranging funds, the banking authorities in Canada need to clear, the bank has put an incorrect detail, his account is restricted, the transfer service has issues etc, etc. once in a very blue moon funds he owes arrive, always less , but as a victim you are pathetically grateful. Janitsary has one intention and that is to protect himself from the legal consequences of his various deceptions, make no mistake , he is a criminal, his lies are crimes and his actions cloaked in ridiculous self justification, that he is ‘helping’ your only friend conveniently requires you to forget the reality , the devestation,destruction and anguish that HIS actions and his alone are the cause of all this. It is a victim ‘Stockholm syndrome, yet when Janitsary is cornered, and by this he is faced with very real consequences, he finds funds, never what he owes, but enough to give him more time, and that is what it is all about , he is buying time. He claims he is waiting for his ‘pension’ from the US government, or whatever lie he can use (He has never worked for the US government) or he claims the fraudsters favourite , he has cancer, the reality is more prosaic , he is finding funds from somewhere and is trying to keep you on side. This misery go round can go on ad infinitum, until there comes a point, where after years of Janitsary claiming black is white and swearing on his mother’s life that funds are enroute to you and still they don’t materialise , you must conclude. Indeed, he drove one of his victims to suicide and laughed about it, yet in his deluded mind claimed he had ‘helped’ his ‘friend’ not how the children and widow viewed his calculated exploitation of their father and husband , after he blew his head off with a shotgun. The reality is that Janitsary doesn’t care, his reasons for playing all these involved games is simple, it is a classic sociopath trait, because he can, he sees it as how clever he is, making people believe his own fantasies

 The story of four dead hostages.

In 2007 in Bagdad Iraq , five men were kidnapped by Shi’ite militia. These men were comprised of four bodyguards and a computer programmer. Over the next two and half years four of them were murdered and one released. The four bodyguards were employees of a huge security company based in Canada called GardaWorld Group and they were employed by USAid to supply the security personnel. This comprised of 4 ex British ex-military bodyguards. After their kidnapping GardaWorld brought in a crisis management company to manage the media, they were called Millbrook Partnership and they were based in the UK and their Managing director was a man called Tim Grey, who, coincidentally happened to be the brother-in-law of a director of Garda world called Andrew Farquhar. It became very evident that there were a number of serious issues, firstly GardaWorld had no kidnap and ransom insurance, an extraordinary state of affairs given the contract. Tim Gray made a suggestion, he knew a security consultant who was very close to the Ruler of Dubai and was based in Singapore, perhaps this person could persuade the Ruler to fund the hostage negotiations and ransom.Gardaworld authorised a approach, and Grey and Farquhar met with this man in Singapore. The man told them of his very close relationship with Sheik Mohammed bin Maktoum, he had worked with him on numerous sensitive projects for a number of years, and he saw no issue, he would persuade the Ruler to supply funds. The man was an ex-US Marine, a Canadian national who had worked for the CIA, Grey and Farquhar were delighted, and they began involved planning, the individual supplied documents from Sheik Mohammed’s officer confirming all this, and they had numerous meetings and calls discussing various scenarios, the individual told them he could organise Special forces and logistics and had serious sources within Iraq and the Shi’ite militia via his UAE employment. There were delays of the funds, issues with banks, and the need to keep all this confidential, obviously Sheik Mohammed had to be protected, after all he was a ruler of a fellow Arab state etc.Farquar and Grey reported progress but a few issues back to the board of GardaWorld. Obviously time was of the essence, and whatever negotiations were happening were relying on these funds. There continued to be issues with the banks, but the  individual assured them that it was all being sorted out, he even was talking to his old CIA colleagues who were going to help. Months passed, and it began to dawn on Grey and Farquhar that this individual who they had relied on and placed the hostages lives with may not be quite as legitimate as they thought. Discreet enquiries were made via the UAE ambassador in London, did he know this man? Enquiries were sent to Dubai, did anyone in the Ruler’s office know this man, documents they had received, supposedly from the private office were also sent to Dubai, the response was horrifying, no one had ever heard of him, and they knew nothing about any ‘rescue fund’. Tim Grey contacted a senior lawyer in Singapore who was acting for this individual , he asked him what was going on, there were 5 men’s lives at stake, was this man a fraud. The lawyer was equally horrified and assured him he would speak to his client immediately. Grey and Farquhar booked flights to Singapore to confront this man. In the meantime the lawyer had contacted the individual he tried to bluster and lie his way out, claiming the Dubai office did not know but the Ruler personally did and he would get him to call Grey and Farquhar to explain.

​

The reality was something very different and very very dark. The individual’s name was Nicholas Janitsary , he was a fantasist and con man, he neither worked for the Dubai Ruler and never had, he had never served in the US military and never worked for the CIA. He was a pathological liar with delusions of grandeur .He was a Jewish Hungarian /Canadian who was part of a rich property-owning family in Ottawa called Toth, he had never even met the Ruler of Dubai, let alone worked for him on any projects. it was all lies, everything he had told them, all the documents were phoney. His next move was extraordinary, he sent to Millbrook Partnerships bank an unsolicited £100,000 from his mother’s bank he rang Tim Grey and begged him not to involve the authorities in Singapore or London, and he had paid this money to their bank by way of apology for wasting their time. He was oblivious to the consequences to the hostages his lies had caused. He just wanted to save his own skin and not be exposed. He told Tim Grey that he had terminal cancer and appealed to him to spare him a police investigation and likely jail, he promised to send more funds as quickly as possible. Tim Grey called Andrew Farquhar and told him what Nicholas Janitsary had said and done (sent £100,000)They both realised that this entire fiasco was a media disaster, on top of the revelation that Garda World had no kidnap insurance. They agreed to not bring in the authorities and to do damage limitation, which meant not ever make any of it public and to effectively bury the whole sorry saga. 4 of the hostages (GardaWorld’s employees ) were executed over the next few months, the computer programmer Peter Moore was released after two and a half years in captivity in exchange for 2 senior Shi’ite commanders. Tim Grey committed suicide in 2013 and Andrew Farquhar became Managing Director of GardaWorld UK in 2011. As for Nicholas Janitsary, he left Singapore and settled of all places in Dubai! Where he began his deceptions all over again. This time claiming that the Ruler had instructed him to help create as National security agency for the UAE.He told numerous ex pats he was an ex-CIA employee and was working for the UAE government. He rented a flat in the Burj Khalifa, bought a Bentley and McClaren Sports car on hire purchase from a local dealership and once more embarked on a new involved deadly deception.

The murderous strategies of deceit of Nicholas Janitsary

The attempted censorship of this  documentary by British police.

When we embarked on exposing the con man we had no idea as to the lengths he would go to stop us.

Our main witnesses were a couple who had defrauded to the incredible amount of ten million dollars, they had lost their business, savings and home relying on Janitsary's many promises (aka lies) when he had conned them into believing he worked for the UAE government. 

Janitsary believes in the adage "keep your friends close but keep your 'potential ' enemies closer” and embarked on years of deceptions, lies and claims of friendship. He gave legal undertakings he neither had the ability or means of fulfilling, creating fictitious paperwork to persuade his victims he was legitimate. This was entirely to protect himself from exposure and prosecution. His claims that he was working with the CIA and that his funds were blocked, and if his victims took any action it would jeopardise the settlement continued for a number of years, until he was confronted with the fact it was all lies Janitsary realised he was now in a very problematic position, and like many con men doubled down on persuading his victims he was a good friend and doing everything he could to put things right. The reality was horrifyingly different. He began a deception that came very close to killing both  his victims. He deliberately misled the husband and wife that he had transferred funds for an organ transplant which the wife desperately needed, he forged Bank letters claiming the funds were in transit, deceiving the victims and persuading them to move her off the donor list, the wife had a stroke and still Janitsary swore on his mother's life ,it was true, his constant refrain being " why would I lie?" Why indeed?  it was all totally untrue, there were no transfers ,his bank confirmed all the documents were forgeries, yet utterly amazing Janitsary had no remorse, indeed just claimed none of it was his fault. 

As Janitsary began to realise he was being investigated by us for the documentary, he began a despicable and desperate operation to stop his exposure. 

He identified our principal source, the husband of the woman he had nearly killed with his fake transfers for the transplant, and with the help of a private investigator in Florida initiated a number of strategies to cause our source and his wife significant legal concerns, firstly in contacting  an ex policeman who runs a security company, who ,at the initial stages of Janitsary’s deceptions of their company believed Janitsary was legitimate as did everyone else, and as funds  failed to appear grew more and more demanding that an invoice he created should be paid regardless of the fact it was entirely dependent on Janitsary's contract. The other fact being the services claimed were never supplied and the vehicle never bought  claimed on these invoices ,he was aggressive in his pursuit of Janitsary's victim, even as the wife lay dying of kidney failure he said too bad and hoped she had life insurance so he could get paid. A shadowy private investigator based in Florida began communications with this man, in 2019 reaching out by e mail stating 'his client ' instructed him and enclosing a redacted e mail ,which when checked was to Nicholas Janitsary., and this was his ‘client.’

In 2020 a complainant approached the insolvency service claiming there had been fraud by the victims’ company in not paying his invoices. Investigating these were given to the criminal division of the insolvency service. The complainant was the owner of the security company who had been working with the US private investigator and had originally worked with the victims, and so knew full well Janitsary had conned them, yet he still discussed with Janitsary before making the allegation.

Unfortunately for Janitsary, a number of concerns by the investigators as to the credibility of these claims did not result in the response he hoped for, indeed it put a spotlight on his actions in 2015 in defrauding the couple.

The Husband was determined to hold Janitsary to account, not only for his frauds, but for the real damage he had caused his family, and the possibility of exposure became more of a reality for Janitsary.

He then began making malicious allegations against the couple, he spoke to the Metropolitan police claiming he was receiving threatening e mails from the husband ( yet continued communicating and promising, with no reference to the victim that he felt ‘threatened ‘,) indeed when he was challenged if he had made such an allegation, he denied he had done so and tried to blame another victim of his, who had been trying to expose him for many years. There were a number of strange anomalies emerging, the Police Constable based at a police station in central London did not acknowledge receipt of statements, in the one conversation had , she seemed very unwilling to identify the complainant, (which was odd, as Janitsary had denied categorically it was him) when it was pointed out that this matter was not in the officers jurisdiction, namely the complainant lived in Canada, and the accused outside the UK and why was a police constable in London involved, they did not respond. In January 2022 a further police warning was received in regards to ‘harassing a business partner” from the same police constable, again our source responded with the same facts, pointing out that Nicholas Janitsary had defrauded he and his wife etc and most certainly was not a business partner or associate of any kind, and again asking why this was being investigated by a metropolitan police officer in London, and requesting that said police officer acknowledge receipt of the response. Again total silence and no acknowledgement ,we had by this point put up as media website called Janitsaryconman.com to promote the documentary, our source and victim of Nicholas Janitsary received a avalanche of outraged messages claiming it was illegal (it wasn’t) utterly outrageous, that Janitsary had been such a good friend, how could he do this, this is classic Janitsary tactics , gaslighting to an Olympic gold medal. Of course it was all lies.

Then we found ourselves under attack, first cyber, and then a very strange set of circumstances following the disappearance of the documentary website from the internet.

We were aware that Janitsary was desperate to remove even the holding page for ‘The man who would be cons’ it had a photo of Janitsary and we knew he was now aware of the documentary. His many messages to our source of outrage and pseudo bafflement at this betrayal, as he viewed it were actually illuminating as we could see his utter disregard to his responsibility for his victim, his grandiose claims that he was very involved in national security , even after he knew that everything he claimed had been exposed as a lie, his CIA career, his US marines fantasy, his claims of working for both the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai, yet he seemed deluded and his threats against his victim if he cooperated in any way in exposing him (this from a man who had claimed he was being threatened to the police) the irony was obviously lost on him.

Then we received an extraordinary e mail from the website hoster stating that our domain had been suspended at the request of a UK police officer on the grounds they were investigating a crime. We became very suspicious, the police officer named was the same police constable who had sent the warning e mails to our source, they were identified as being attached to the local Robbery squad, why on earth or how on earth could a lowest ranking police officer in a local police station get an international web host to remove a legitimate journalistic site based in Arizona from Charing Cross London, was this not illegal under the US constitution and the first amendment? We spoke to lawyers both in the UK and the US , they were also baffled .We tried to speak with the WebHost company GoDaddy, no one answered their phones or responded to our e mails, and customer service were also ‘surprised’ but one operator who was an ex police officer told us GoDaddy never responded to e mails he had even sent. Emails  to their compliance office, their Director of legal were unanswered, and our attempts to get a response from the police constable were not answered as well.

Our points were simple. The site was obviously a promotion for a documentary exposing a con man, it breached NO criminal laws, it was protected under the first amendment. It was not in the Jurisdiction of the police force involved, that a  British police constable does not have the authority or legal powers to demand the removal of the site on any basis in law, so why had GoDaddy suspended the site. We also pointed out a very pertinent fact THE SITE WAS NOT LIVE AT THE TIME..

The beneficiary of this outrage is Nicholas Janitsary and he was the principal who caused this.

We have migrated the site to a new web host and have discussed the events of the past few months, they have assured us our site will not be interfered with, they also state that for a web hosting company to suspend such a site as ours was in direct contravention of US law, and what evidence had been provided to GoDaddy in regards to this policeman’s claims, we are now aware NO evidence was provided and GoDaddy for no legal reason suspended the site, entirely based on a very general “I am investigating a possible crime” e mail directly from the police officer in London, at no time it seems did they review the sites content, question how a low ranking police officer based in central London have the authority to make such a request.

As always with the con man Nicholas Janitsary, there are more questions than answers.
