Colleagues and Cronies

What really confuses me is how many people work at Adaptive that have known Qayed for years. His sick dirty f* character got by all this time. This can't be his first incident and the feds are going to find out all sorts of dirty little secrets.

I researched long on this and there are big names they used to tout the company and there are people that worked for him before.

First the touting names:

Ernest ("E.J.") Hilbert, Cyber Security Expert and Former FBI Special Agent

Are you f*ing kidding me? Qayed is a 'cyber'-criminal and homeland security basically took him down. I couldn't imagine him deciding to stay involved in Adaptive Media after this news. He's a former FBI agent for crying out loud!!! This is a call for him to resign immediately.

Hilbert joins Adaptive Media's team while currently leading the cyber practice for an international consulting firm. Prior to that, Hilbert spent eight years as a Special Agent for the FBI, leading one of the largest cyber-crime investigations addressing computer intrusion, theft of data, and extortion of more than 600 financial institutions.

Bruce Wiseman a former EVP, COO, CFO of various companies

I looked up Adconion and they are part of a bigger company called Amobee. I couldn't imagine he'd risk his career reputation by staying on as a board member. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned immediately.

Wiseman is the General Manager of Wiseman & Associates LLC, which provides advisory services to businesses in the digital media and marketing industries. Most recently, he spent three years as Chief Operating Officer of Adconion Media Group, a digital media holding company that provides a portfolio of brand and performance solutions for advertisers, overseeing 26 offices across 20 countries and over 550 employees. Previously, Wiseman was the EVP, COO and CFO for Fox Audience Network. He has also held leadership positions with Yahoo! and Disney during his decorated career.

Sandy Grushow, current Board Member of Weather Channel

Wow, the Board member of the Weather Channel and former Chairman of Fox TV. The entertainment industry is very critical on dirty shit. Qayed isn't an artist like Woody Allen or Bill Crosby (http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/celebrities/64730682/bill-cosby-woody-allen-remind-us-that-you-dont-have-to-be-good-person-to-make-art). He's leading a OTC company. So I would imagine Mr Grushow would distance himself ASAP, especially after praising Qayed directly.

Grushow was named to the Board of Governors of the Weather Company. Prior to starting his own practice, he served as Chief Content Officer at MediaLink, where he worked closely with and provided counsel to numerous digital content creators, distributors and brands. Before moving into the world of digital media and technology, Grushow spent twenty-four years at Fox, helping to build the new broadcast network from its earliest days prior to being named Chairman of Fox Television Entertainment, where he oversaw both the broadcast network and the TV studio.

But then there's all his former colleagues. I guess trying to get new people excited about his leadership while he did child porn on the side would be hard.

All this is really concerning me. If everyone claims they had "no idea" that's bullsh--. Character is character. All this, from all these people who were likely paid well to back Qayed's story, is beginning to sound like an episode of American Greed. I hope the Orange County Child Exploitation Task Force (OCCETF), Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD), and the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) all raid the offices of Adaptive Medias, William Nichols, and everyone else involved.

And, add the SEC to it. If this is what he did while shareholders, customers, and employees needed leadership, that is filthy. And I am guessing all these people have children...imagine how that feels! What a sick bastard.

Sometimes you can just sense it's all over. Wolf of wall street type over. If he could break the law with children, how hard would it be to fake financials, lie to shareholders, make up bullsh--, issue fake stock, etc.

The colors are dedicated to newelong, who is basically newegone now.
