Hi,
Is there anyone here who is waiting for their settlement from Cox and Kings? They went bankrupt in October 2019 and their liquidation process has just started.
I would really appreciate it if anyone else on the same boat as I am would connect with me because the process for filing the claim again is a bit tedious.
Thanks in advance!

Background Info

If you’ve been living under a rock, RuPaul’s Drag Race is a reality competition show for drag queens, and it’s excellent. Drag queens are (usually) cis and trans men who dress up like women as a performance art. Some drag queens are cis and trans women. Regardless of their gender identity out of drag, it’s considered kosher to call drag queens “she/her” when referring to their drag persona.
To understand what happened here, you need to know about 4 subreddits that exist for discussing the show and its contestants:
the “main sub,” /RuPaulsDragRace, has just over 400,000 subscribers and is the most popular place to discuss the show
the “spoiled sub,” /SpoiledDragRace, with over 60,000 members and shares a mod team with the main sub and exists as a place where users can discuss leaked info about not-yet-aired episodes without spoiling users who don’t want to know what happens before it airs.
the “cringe sub,” /RPDRCringe, with over 30,000 members, where users go to make fun of behavior they find cringy. Cringe material can come from members of the fanbase and RPDR contestants themselves. Rosebanana moderated this subreddit.
the “drama sub,” /RPDRDRAMA, with over 50,000 members, which is sort of like /SubredditDrama for RPDR-specific happenings
The cringe and drama subs are called “satellite subs” because they are not affiliated with the main sub and its network of related subreddits that are all controlled by the same mod team. There are other satellite subs, but cringe and drama are by far the biggest and most active. Satellite subs overwhelmingly have feelings of antipathy or hatred toward the main subs and users will give plenty of reasons why. Some feel the main sub mods don’t do enough to combat racism. Some feel the main sub mods do too much to combat racism. Many of them have gotten in trouble with the main sub at some point in the past for breaking the rules with some sort of toxic comment.

Who is Rosebanana?

Rosebanana was a very popular user in the spoiled sub because she ran a document called the “tea checker” or “t checker” (tea/t is slang for “truth” in the RPDR community). She was not a mod of the spoiled sub; she was just a regular user who decided to create this document.
Usually a large amount of information about new seasons is leaked long before the season airs, including the full order in which queens are sent home, and information about specific challenges and how well queens perform.This information is collected in the t checker by Rosebanana and several other users, and the document is used to help identify which leakers are reliable “tea spillers” vs trolls spilling false tea.
Obviously doing all this work for the sub made Rose very popular.
Rose was also a moderator of the cringe sub.

How it Started

4 days ago, a contestant on the currently-airing RPDR UK Season 2, Lawrence Cheney, tweeted out the sentence “Good morning to Rosebanana only!” (the tweet is now deleted) This made the spoiled sub very excited because very few of the queens use or understand reddit, so having a queen acknowledge the existence of the spoiled sub -- which is a somewhat niche meta community -- with an insider’s reference was a very special moment for the community. Lawrence followed up with a tweet that said “Dear diary…” which is the name of the spoiled sub’s daily discussion threads.
Rosebanana and the spoiled sub were riding high on the excitement for several days. What could be better than getting a shout-out from a famous person?
Then suddenly things took a turn. Jackie Cox, a former contestant from RPDR Season 12, tweeted out a screenshot of one of Rosebanana’s comments in the cringe sub accusing Jackie Cox of trading on Muslim and Middle-Eastern culture and imagery in order to get more screentime, despite not being Muslim herself. Jackie Cox was born in Canada, but her mother fled Iran at the start of the Iranian Revolution to escape the rise of the theocracy, and Jackie reamed Rosebanana for dictating what parts of her mother’s culture she is and isn’t allowed to claim as her own.
Jackie also referred to Rosebanana in her tweets as “a moderator on multiple Drag Race Reddits,” and the main sub mods were quick to tweet out a response to Jackie clarifying that Rosebanana was NOT a mod of the main sub network nor was that behavior tolerated in the main subs, and stopped letting Rosebanana run the t checker. Jackie follows up by tweeting a screenshot of the main sub’s statement on the situation and applauding the main sub mods for taking a stand while asking for the cringe sub to be held accountable.

Which Sub is the Racist Sub?

All links to the spoiled sub will say (potential spoilers in link) before the link to warn you that you’re being taken to the spoiled sub, but none of the linked content should contain any spoilers for the show.
Looking at both the main sub’s statement and the (potential spoilers in link) spoiled sub’s statement most users were quick to decry Rosebanana and were saddened to discover the fall from grace of their previously favorite sub member. The main sub mods were not above criticism on the issue though; some users point out that the main sub has issues with islamophobia and racism too, but mods comment to assure users that reported content will be removed (unlike in the cringe sub where mods are the ones posting it).
Other users start pointing out that Rosebanana should have been cancelled in the past for her problematic behavior in the cringe sub. (potential spoilers in link) One user points out that Rosebanana ringlead the character assassination of former contestant Miz Cracker “with lies and an army of people who will believe whatever you say.”
Text of one comment explaining the accusation for those who don’t want to risk entering the spoiled sub:

Hey rose and cringe people. Remember Miz Cracker? You guys did her bad. Follow me:
A lot of things happened before, but when AS5 was about to air, the rpdrcringe was ready to hate Cracker, however, it only when rose did this post, things start to escalate. The post itself is not defamatory, it was really a odd thing that Cracker did, but it was all circumstantial.
Then this happened (like, ok, 10 years ago some anon accused you of something, circumstantial, again).
Then this.. I mean, she did not post it, but she and all the mods said that this was real, that this was Cracker, but girl, this could be anyone's conversation. And why blur her name? Protect your source and expose her, unless there is something wrong.

The long and short of it is that Rosebanana was instrumental in the campaign to “expose” Miz Cracker as a racist who fetishized black men, culminating in sharing a poor quality and possibly doctored screenshot with all personal info blocked out that showed someone on grindr asking someone else to be their “black breeder.” Despite no personal info remaining uncensored in the screenshot, the cringe mods all assured users it was definitely Cracker. Trust them.
Another user points out that cringe culture is just indulging in toxic online behavior, and that the hate of Miz Cracker on the cringe sub often descended into antisemitism (Miz Cracker is very prominently Jewish), (potential spoilers in link) including nicknaming her “Miz Crook.”
In the main sub users are calling out the fanbase for fostering this kind of behavior, especially the cringe sub: rpdrcringe is a cesspool of miserable people (and mostly not even cringey, except for the comments) but we all already knew that. Don’t forget that rosebanana (and no doubt countless others) said these things because they thought Jackie was posting too many dance videos and gym selfies.
Meanwhile on the drama sub, users say it doesn’t surprise them that “an RPDRcringe mod said that. That place is very racist despite its liberal facade.”
In classic drama sub form, the mods also sticky a post to their own sub that makes fun of the main sub mods’ statement, titled “STATEMENTS FROM THE MODS OF RPDRDRAMA (ATTENTION MODERATOR SPEAKING!!!111!!) The head mod who posted it, gbinasia, is infamous in the drag race sub meta for mocking people who actually care about things like racism and transphobia. In the comments users debate the overall quality of drama vs cringe, complaining that the sub is just a “circle jerk utopia under the guise of performative activism. Cringe became a shining bastion of performative activism. Like here is where some bruised white egos can come to villify low hanging fruits and feel like they’ve met their responsibility to equal rights. Not for nothing, it was a standard set by the original mod crew (which were also responsible for this sub and half of the original flavor scumhole).
Then another RPDR UK contestant A’Whora tweets to condemn Rosebanana too, saying that Rosebanana manipulated her position as the person everyone sends the tea to spin a false narrative that attacked A’Whora’s character. Basically Rosebanana said that a lot of the t she was getting about RPDR UK S2 told the story of the season in a way that was pretty close to the truth, but was spun to make it sound like A’Whora was the star of the show and made co-contestant Tia Koffey look bad, which Rosebanana implied meant the t was coming from A’Whora and her friends and they were trying to continue some personal beef with Tia by making Tia look bad. A’Whora said this was not what happened. Users in the comments of that thread continue to point out that the drama sub and for that fact the main sub aren’t any better than drama, which quickly turns back into another litigation of whether the teenage AFAB named Annecy was believable after accusing multiple Drag Race alums of bullying and grooming them. Users also complain that the cringe sub has banned dissenting opinions and will ban you for saying “this isn’t cringe.” “Naturally this encourages an environment of hate-circlejerking and vitriol on certain queens.
The cringe sub is SUSPICIOUSLY silent on the issue at the time with the exception of a stickied and locked thread (now deleted) titled “Jackie Cox: Rosebanana has sent an apology to your instagram DM’s.”
One person takes issue with the fact that the main sub’s statement says that the cringe sub is where users flock to when they get banned from the main sub for unacceptable behavior, saying “not all of us have been banned from the main sub.” Phedre, the main sub’s head mod, responds from her personal twitter account only to say ominously “Yet.”

Cringe is CANCELLED

A cringe user posts a screenshot of a ban message from the main sub with the title “We are cancelled now.” The ban message says in the note front he moderators that “in the interest of protecting this subreddit from harmful users, mods have been forced to make the difficult decision to ban all users of /rpdrcringe. If this ban is bade in error we are willing to consider lifting it under limited circumstances. If you reply to this ban message calmly and are willing to work with us, we will consider your appeal. Please be advised we are likely receiving a very high volume of appeals and will need extra time to reply.”
Users speculate in the comments over whether this is a bot that’s doing the banning or if it’s manual. Other users get their bans. Some express confusion as they haven’t been banned yet themselves. Some speculate that you have to comment in the main subs to get the ban. Many users say essentially “joke’s on them, I don’t even use the main sub!” Many people call it “Brandgate 2.0,” which refers to Brandgate, the name given to some major drama with the former mods of the main sub (none of whom now remain) which is……. Hard to explain, but basically users got really mad when a former main sub mod said they were trying to improve the sub’s “brand” by doing things like removing overly shitty comments about the contestants.
In a reply to a comment by head cringe mod handsandahungjury, users ask if rosebanana will be removed as a mod. The mod replies “I know rose very well and while her comments crossed a line that she has acknowledged, she ain't the things people are saying in my estimation. I am giving her time to decide what she'd like to do and will go from there. ETA: and as you can see, she has opted to step down.” Another user, tedsmitts replies to hands calling out users in the sub who are defending rosebanana:

Krammebamse is out here in this thread saying Rose was right and not offensive:
https://www.reddit.com/rpdrcringe/comments/lja5u6/we_are_cancelled_now/gnavakt/
Are all of the /rpdrcringe mods violently anti-muslim bigots or just those two?
e: Imgur

Another user replies to tedsmitts, worrying:

Deadass are we just gonna turn into the drama sub part 2 and just let people who express bigoted ideas hang around forever and potentially shape the sub according to their ideas? Y’all need to step down and anyone that defends rose needs to step down. This shit is gross and would have been gross even had Jackie not found out.

Then that user edits their comment upon realizing who tedsmitts is:

Edit: Gworl you’re a drama sub mod? Look, not shooting the messenger cos you’re right for this post, but yall need to get your shit in order over there too. It’s impossible to be POC and go on that sub without wanting to shove knives in your eyes, and that def comes from the tone set by the mods - how can you expect people who express bigotry to actively do their job when they see it constantly in the comments? You clean em up too, Kimora, two wrongs don’t make a right. We’re lucky Bob and Pep didn’t see that gross post by one of your mods a while ago, or this could’ve easily been the drama sub too.

And now the cringe v drama slapfight takes off!

Ted you sat in the backseat when people asked for the other 3/4 active mods to step down in the drama sub when they were being ten times as wrong and nasty. Rose left a single comment that was in all was a misinformed remark. I can't speak for Kram but. Get your shit in order over there before you start some shit here.

Ted replies:

I'm a long ^long time user of this sub, and that's where the action is at the moment, don't try to deflect or rely on whataboutism.
"A misinformed remark" really? The mod of a sub that has spent weeks focusing on microaggressions thinks accusing a POC and their mother of faking their religion and the cultural attachments of same is a "misinformed remark?"
I like Rose, I like Kramme, we're contemporaries. This wasn't "misinformed" and frankly I found it shocking that Rose would post something like that, and then be backed up by another mod I also thought was a decent person.
Kramme deleted the post but as a wicked devil of the drama sub you know I do love a good reciept.
Imgur

Meanwhile in the drama sub, gbinasia stickies another post titled ATTENTION MODERATOR SPEAKING AGAIN, WE WON’T BAN USERS FROM RPDRCRINGE BECAUSE WE ARE TECHNOLOGICALLY INEPT
...gbinasia then follows that up with a stickied comment saying “WE WILL DEFEND THE MUSLIM COX OF THIS WORLD FROM TEENAGE LITTLE PIGS IN WIGS AND BOMB THEM FOR FREEDOM” which devolves into a slapfight between users and gbinasia because people take issue with her insensitive joke. It’s a long back and forth where gbinasia jokes about the fact that the main sub’s wiki page explaining the main sub banning microaggressions briefly called the main sub an “unabashedly American cultural space” (which has been changed).
Users reply:

Again, what’s wrong with the main sub asking non American users to be careful of the language you use because it can come off racially charged? I’ll ask again, what’s your problem with not using language that perpetuates racism?
You act is if the main sub has a direct hand in the bombing over the past twenty years. The main sub isn’t over here supporting the bombing in the Middle East while also supporting Jackie so stop acting as if that’s the situation.
At least the main sub is taking a strong stand against the hate. Meanwhile you’re over here making problematic jokes that perpetuate hate.
You’re problematic. You need to take accountability. End of story.

Gbinasia complains that banning microaggressions on the main sub “mutes discourse” and complains upvotes and downvotes should take care of that, not bans (ironically gbinasia is pretty famous for banning everyone who disagrees with them and you can see many cringe users talking about that in the various threads I’ve linked).They say “The only strong stand the [main] sub is taking isn't against hate, it's about being the queens BFFs. And that's not at all what Reddit is supposed to be.”
Meanwhile, Rosebanana, having stepped down as a mod of the cringe sub, handed over the t checkers to non-mod user Awkward_King then purged all of the comments on her account and eventually deleted her account entirely.
Users mock her for the tone of her final comment apologizing for the cringe users getting mass-banned over what she did, asking “Is she trying to become a Martyr after what she did? Trash. They pick apart the way she worded her comment:

She's clearly using the ineptitude of the Main sub mods to divert the attention from her and make it seem like they're the true villains of this debacle to save face.
See:

I apologize for the impact of my actions

That way to word it puts the attention on those who created the impact (main sub mods), not her own actions, and while they are to blame for it, she's in no position to be the judge of who should or shouldn't be blamed.
Lastly, she shouldn't be apologizing for the actions of other people in the first place, she's got enough actions of her own that need an apology.

Users debate whether to dunk on the cringe sub over this or not, as many of them are also dragging Rosebanana. Counterpoint: Rosebanana’s comment about Jackie Cox was highly upvoted at the time it was posted. Lots of whining about American activism being performative, oh wait Rosebanana is Australian? Well their activism is performative too. “But also I’ve come to the conclusion that all the rpdr subs share basically the same users and they all accuse each other of the same shit.”
Meanwhile in the cringe sub a screenshot of drama sub users dragging the cringe sub for being “very racist despite its liberal facade” gets posted with the title These drama sub comments… I’m going to die from the irony.” and users all talk about how much they hate the drama sub. One user says “Why do people act like there isn’t a huge overlap in users between main, drama, and cringe?” and someone replies “People act like that on all of the satellite subs, forgetting that the mods are all up each other’s asses most of the time anyway.”
Another screenshot of a modmail sent to a cringe user gets posted in the cringe sub clarifying some details of what’s going on with the mass banning of cringe users. Mods confirm it’s a bot doing the banning and explain they’ll unban some users who have comment histories that aren’t full of toxic behavior, and they explain that it’s not just rosebanana’s comments about Jackie that led to this but rather it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. They had apparently discussed implementing a bot ban against cringe AND drama in the past.
The indignant cringe users ask “what the hell type of sub are they trying to create there???” and reply “A sub that begs queens for AMAs to gain clout.” In the subsequent comments, the cringe users do not see the irony in complaining that the main sub has had so few AMA’s with the queens, which could perhaps be because of subs like cringe scaring the queens off reddit, and would incentivize main sub mods to work harder to create the type of sub queens would want to visit for an AMA (also apparently cringe thinks it’s bad for the main sub to want to host AMA’s?)

The End

Lawrence Chaney notices Awkward_King has taken over for rosebanana and tweets out “Good night to Awkward_King only! Sleep tight x

Transactions worth Rs 21,000 crore over four years (2015-2019) done mainly to siphon off funds; falsifying records; a Rs 1,100-crore loan from a “brother to a brother” that violated basic fiduciary norms; sales worth Rs 9,000 crore to over 160 customers who are bogus or do not exist, inflated bank balances and a string of defaults — these are among a slew of alleged irregularities highlighted in the forensic audit of bankrupt travel firm Cox and Kings, The Indian Express has learnt.
Records of the audit, done in February 2020 by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) at the behest of lender Yes Bank, and official records accessed by The Indian Express detail how the company allegedly fudged records and window-dressed its figures.
The travel and tour company owes Rs 5,500 crore to banks and financial institutions and was one of the top borrowers of Yes Bank Ltd when co-founder Rana Kapoor was heading it.
Yes Bank has an exposure of more than Rs 2,267 crore to Cox & Kings Group. Last month, Ajay Ajit Peter Kerkar was summoned for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the money laundering case against Kapoor.
Kapoor, currently lodged in jail, is accused of taking kickbacks in lieu of granting loans to several companies that have now defaulted on repayments.

I don't know where else to post this but this seems like a place to raise awareness against a Forex broker that is scamming people, please repost in other subs that you think are the right place for this kind of stuff.
So a few days ago I matched with a girl from Hong Kong on tinder, we start to talk about normal stuff, she told me that she was swiping in my country because she likes to travel and would like to visit soon. So over the next few days we exchange numbers, she shows off her nice job and how she makes a lot of money by trading and investing. I always had some curiosity about trading and investments but never actually got around to learning about it so I guess I was a easy target. To start things off I invested an initial amount of $1000 but the website seemed a bit shady, in less than a month she helped me double my investment and my account had $2k in it and she constantly kept saying things like how I could make a lot more if I invested more money, kept saying things like you need to increase your capital then you can so much more money. There were multiple red flags and I went looking for answers. All the reviews I found of that website are extremely negative and the final confirmation was this website, reading the comments at the bottom was confirmation for me that I was being scammed
https://theforexreview.com/2020/11/05/magkingfx-review/
It was bad news but honestly losing $1000 was not going to kill me but all those people in the comments probably lost more than that. Basically they ask you to invest a small amount of money at first, then ask you to invest in XAUUSD.m which is probably controlled by them, then they show you how easy it is to make an insane amount of money in a short time, they'll even let you make a withdraw but then pressure you to invest a lot more and that's when you lose all your money.
Tried to find if there's anything on reddit about them but all I got was this
https://www.reddit.com/investing_discussion/comments/kr82y7/any_thought_about_magking_limited_trading_website/
More people who got scammed and probably don't know what to do after.
As for me I convinced her that I'm going to invest another $10,000 but I need to see how the withdrawals work and I was able to withdraw $1500, I had already accepted that I'll lose all my money I was just lucky that this trick worked.
They have hundreds of different domains just one of which is this one
https://www.magking.com/
On the front page they claim to have a US FinCEN and a Canadian FinTRAC license and they actually check out. They are actually registered with them but since I'm not from either of those countries I don't know what this amounts to and how to get these authorities to act on them.
I hope someone can find a way to stop them because they are very aggressive, very believable and probably targeting hundreds of people right now. This dude on YouTube is promoting them is probably involved in the scam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRsJRl6MdX0
TL;DR : MagKing forex is scamming people out of thousands of dollars across multiple countries, using girls that contact you through Tinder, Insta, Facebook etc. Report them to the authorities, they are registered as Money Services Business with the US FinCEN and Canadian FinTRAC.
