The Fish Rots from The Head


The Head being Darius Bereika, the CEO of Cloudvpn and Tesonet.

This whole public botnet riot was started by a lawsuit filed in Texas (NOT some competitor’s blog):


I’ll start with actual facts, then progress to what is very very likely.
  • Nordvpn has a shell company in Panama. It does not run Nordvpn. Nordvpn claims they are owned and run by Tefincom S.A. in Panama. The address they give is used by OTHER shell companies, as well as their own.

  • Nordvpn claims that their HQ is in Panama, and that Tefincom S.A. actually runs the company.

  • Nordvpn accepts payments through a company called Cloudvpn, Inc. 
     
  • The president/director of Cloudvpn, Inc. is Darius Bereika. He lives in Lithuana.

  • Nordvpn has an app on the Google Play store, called Nordvpn. It is signed by Cloudvpn.

  • There is an old version of Nordvpn’s website in the wayback machine, which can be viewed in either English, or in Lithuanian. That means Nordvpn is based in Lithuania. 
     
  • Darius Bereika is also the CEO of Tesonet.

  • Tesonet does, and HAS, run a data mining botnet.

Whether or not Nordvpn is involved in any data mining, does not matter. This right here is very VERY SHADY. Why would you want to turn over all of your internet activity to this lot? Think about it! The only thing you have to rely on here is trustworthiness and transparency. I don’t see ANY trustworthiness or transparency going on here.

I suppose it is possible that some other Lithuanian people own Nordvpn, and they just hired Cloudvpn to handle their payments for them in the US, AND code their Android app for them. Even then, these same Lithuanian people are still trying to hide behind a shell company in Panama. What is most LIKELY is that Cloudvpn IS Nordvpn, and Darius Bereika IS the CEO of Nordvpn.

FISH → ROT → HEAD





Here are my sources: 




Numbers 2 through 5 demonstrate that the address of  Tefincom S.A. is also used by other shell companies.

This document shows that Darius Bereika is the President/Director of Cloudvpn:

And finally, the old Nordvpn website that gives you the choice of English or Lithuanian, can be found in post #9 in this airvpn thread:

A pox on all vpn's!
