How Carbon Accounting Became a Cover for Fast-Languishing Sirius Open Source Ltd.

Just two days before the witch-hunt began:

Address change at Sirius

Summary: Sirius 'Open Source' is what people in the UK would likely consider/deem a "dodgy" company; today we revisit some aspects of that

IN many screenshots and PDFs shared here before (see the wiki for index) we've shown that Sirius changed its address many times before the witch-hunts. We also habitually present evidence that this company is too broke to be worth suing as it can take 12 months for a decision to be handed down; by then, the company might be bankrupt already, unable to pay. Apropos, regarding Microsoft layoffs, some anonymous employees say that the layoffs started last week and some people aren't being paid severance. We'll wait and see if more verifiable accounts can be found.



"We've used those document to show it's getting worse over time as unbearable debt makes Sirius incapable of continued operations."Over the past few years I occasionally downloaded documents (didn't know years later we'd end up presenting and uploading them!) from what's known here as "companies house" -- basically a companies' registry with PDFs hosted in AWS (millions of documents about British companies outsourced to another continent, which is ironic!). We've used those documents to show it's getting worse over time as unbearable debt makes Sirius incapable of continued operations. We moreover hypothesise that the company is running away to dodge litigation and maybe dodge payments to the two ex-wives and 4 daughters, especially the young ones (early teens at this point in time).

It doesn't look good, does it? It would be very difficult to sue or take this to court for dispute resolution. It's not clear who to even sue because the company is registered at the address of Carbon Accounting and the UK 'CEO', whose own business is also registered at the address of an accountancy, is hiding his home address. He literally sends us letters without a return address. So it's not only unclear where the company is actually based but also where its managers are based. You cannot simply sent legal letters to Carbon Accounting. It would make no sense. Carbon Accounting would turn the bailiff away.

"This is especially upsetting because as far back as 2019 I insisted on getting some answers. But managers were mum; they were beyond evasive. The "cabal" had a sort of conspiracy of silence, as obviously the Office Manager and Support Manager who sat there in the contract-signing knew what was going on but did not tell the staff."Putting aside the fact that the company is registered with the accountants (Carbon Accounting) -- a subject that I confronted the CEO about back in October (over the telephone!) -- the address in the US may be an apartment and the addresses there seem inconsistent. The absent boss is also "sleek like an eel", to use a term we mentioned the other week. Basically, the company now advertises itself as American (despite having at most one American staff member, a relatively recent recruit), it is playing legal tricks (and not following British law, even here in the UK), it tricked us all into signing of contracts we had not even seen (we'll cover this later this month), and it keeps tricking people by storytelling, hiding the true story and the true state of the company.

This is especially upsetting because as far back as 2019 I insisted on getting some answers. But managers were mum; they were beyond evasive. The "cabal" had a sort of conspiracy of silence, as obviously the Office Manager and Support Manager who sat there in the contract-signing knew what was going on but did not tell the staff. I asked about the whole "US" thing and got no answers at all.

Lying to staff is about as bad as refusing to answer questions when asked. Something was being signed by the company with the Gates Foundation under an NDA.

In the next part we'll explain how a "training and workshop" invitation turned out to be a trap, based on sheer deceit and obfuscation.
