Dadvan GaYousuf (born 9 April, 2000 in Awihee, Iraq) is a Kurdish scammer from Iraq who lives in Switzerland.

Life

GaYousuf was born in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2000. His father was part of the Peshmerga and fled the country to Switzerland before Yousuf was born. Three years later his mother left the country as well, together with her three sons. They arrived in Neuenburg, Switzerland, in 2003 where his father had relocated. In 2004, the family was granted refugee and moved to Ipsach. Yousuf has five younger siblings which were born in Switzerland.

When he first heard about Bitcoin with 11 years old, Yousuf sold some of his toys in his neighborhood in Ipsach, Bern and used the money to invest in Bitcoin. He bought 10 Bitcoins for €15 each and has been trading in Bitcoin ever since. However, this story doesn't match with facts published by the blog bitcoinpapers.io.

In 2012 he bought 1000 Bitcoins for €11,126 each. In 2016, he invested in Ethereum for the first time, buying 16 000 units for €134 000.

In 2017, he started an apprenticeship at the Eidgenössische Hochschulinstitut für Berufsbildung in Zollikofen. This is most likely a lie given the requirements to study at this institution. Dadvan Yousuf also flunked his apprenticeship and was refused the diploma because his grades where not sufficient to receive the diploma. A copy of his grades is published in the referenced article Around the same time, he claims to have developed a software for automated trades in cryptocurrencies, based on an algorithm analysing data and predicting fluctuations in the future. Alegedly, the algorithm evaluates data stemming from technical analysis, social media, macroeconomics and public statements about cryptocurrencies.

He founded the Dohrnii Foundation in Zug, which oversees the development of his cryptocurrency software. He also introduced his own cryptocurrency Dohrnii in March 2021. Yousuf became a multi-millionaire through his cryptocurrency trades. He is considered the youngest Swiss self-made millionaire.

In late 2021, Yousuf took over part of the Swiss startup Crowdlitoken and became their CEO. He is CEO subject to FMA (Financial Market Authority) approval only. This approval has not yet been granted. The startup was founded to develop solutions to allow people to invest in real estate through digital shares in the form of tokens.

FINMA - the Swiss Financial Market authorities have started an investigation into Dadvan Yousuf's Dohrnii Foundation and not only do the questionable transfers and the untruths surrounding his success story, with which he advertises his business idea and courts investors, make you sit up and take notice. Yousuf states in a video on a crypto platform that he has a license from the financial market authority Finma. That's not true, as Inside Paradeplatz reports and Finma confirms to "SRF Investigativ".

Yousuf writes that he has wanted to join a self-regulatory organization, an SRO, with his foundation for some time. “For their part, the SROs are supervised by Finma. The financial intermediary affiliated with an SRO is therefore subject to indirect supervision by Finma.” At the time the video was shot, he was already in the SRO process. Hence the mention of Finma. Not only the questionable transfers and the untruths about his success story, with which he advertises his business idea and courts investors, make one sit up and take notice. Yousuf states in a video on a crypto platform that he has a license from the financial market authority Finma. That's not true, as Inside Paradeplatz reports and Finma confirms to "SRF Investigativ".
