Tell HN: Max Klein is really Mark Essien

1 points| sperry | 16 years ago | reply

I'm going to cut and paste a comment from blackwoodHolt. He says it well enough:

I have neither requested nor received any emails from "Max Klein" these finding are a result of simple google searches.

Max Klein does not exist. He is an identity created by Mark Essien (www.essien.org).

Mark Essien has two companies registered in the UK one "Qubikle Development LTD" (www.qubikle.com)and a second "Feather & Moor, Ltd" (www.feathermoor.com).

The namesakes of Feather & Moor are Joel Feather and Tracy Moor. BOTH of these individuals don't exist, they are again creations of Mark Essien. The pictures used for Joel are taken from istockphoto (http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-1997908-waiting-for-y...)

whois results for maxkle.in and markessien.com have the same telephone number.

Feather & Moor, Ltd has approaching nearly 300 applications on the appstore. These apps are "cookie cutter" apps that contain pictures and simple text.

The signing identity on the applications names qubikle.

A cursory googling of the text in the screenshots of some of the applications reveals that text is taken from wikipedia and other pages without attribution.
