Blacklist of developers who participated in scam projects
Hi there! You have probably landed on this page because you either googled a developer’s name or are actually looking for a “developers blacklist” and now wonder: what is this all about?
Simple: over the last couple of years there were numerous scam projects within and outside of the crypto space. And if managers of the failed projects that stole money from their investors are well-traced on the Internet, we noticed that some developers who actively participated in scamming innocent people feel no guilt. This website intends to fulfill the following tasks:
You can suggest new developers or submit edits through opening an issue or a pull request at our GitHub repository or filling out the form.
Most of the list initially will be derived from “Avocado Approves” community Honest Reviews.
All the data on this website is taken from public sources and is not subject to be removed by any laws of any country. If you do want to remove the data — first inquire within the open sources where the data is derived from.
This website can neither serve as a punishment nor aim at bringing anything negative to the people listed. If one thinks that simply publishing a list of names connected to their work experience can hurt anyone — then the blame is not on the list but on the experience itself. This website serves solely as a recording mechanism — it simply archives public information. It doesn’t judge — readers of this website derive their conclusions themselves.

Q: How do I submit a new person to the list?
A: Either open a pull request or an issue listing the person’s name, contacts, the reason for adding to the list.
Q: A developer didn’t meet their promises to me while working on my project, can I add them to the list?
A: Short answer: no. Long answer: development can fail for various reasons ranging from poor business decisions to general inexperience of the developer. It’s not always the developer’s fault. However, if you believe that a developer has scammed you — submit an issue ar a pull request to this repository.
