Ninety percent of the evidence in this blog post comes from Siam Kidd’s Discord communities and documents complaints made by people who reportedly lost significant sums of money following Siam’s unsuccessful ideas involving cryptocurrency microcaps, also known as subnets, the cryptocurrency TAO, and his UK-based company, Stock Astrid PLC.
The evidence is supported by screenshots from paid customers who reportedly paid approximately £500 per month for mentorship in his Realistic Trader group. Realistic Trader closed its memberships after a Reddit thread was posted in the Fake Guru subreddit, but it was subsequently rebranded as DSV Fund and has continued pitching to investors in London and other parts of the UK. Siam Kidd is still at large in London and other parts of the UK pitching scam investments to people despite accounts for his UK cryptocurrency company golden geese showcasing users funds some 90 percent down at the time of writing.
This material raises questions about potential violations of UK financial-conduct laws and may provide evidence requiring further investigation into possible insider trading. Several members reportedly said they were instructed to hold their positions while Siam sold his own holdings. Some members also identified the cryptocurrencies in which Siam was investing as resembling Ponzi schemes. One such investment was Stock Astrid PLC, which Siam reportedly took over in February 2026 at a price of 18 pence per share. At the time of writing, the share price was approximately 4 pence, representing a substantial decline over a short period.
This blog was created to discourage people from investing in Siam Kidd’s products with all screenshots coming from ex customers many of whom I have interviewed personally and can vouch for with evidence.
The following article examines alleged conduct involving cryptocurrency trader Siam Kidd, including the methods that some trading gurus use to control and influence their communities. Siam Kidd runs a trading group called Realistic Trader and is associated with two cryptocurrency investment funds, DSV Fund and Golden Geese. This blog post is intended to serve as a warning to anyone considering investing in DSV Fund through dsvfund.com, the cryptocurrency TAO, the Subnet ecosystem, or Golden Geese, or attending a Realistic Trader course.
It also provides a broader warning about cryptocurrency and investment gurus and the techniques they may use to deflect criticism. Siam has described himself as an authentic and successful trader, but the evidence presented below raises questions about that image. The material comes from screenshots reportedly taken from Siam’s paid cryptocurrency Discord, for which members paid approximately £5,000 per year.
Siam has previously promoted cryptocurrencies such as TIME and OHM on YouTube, describing them as projects with significant potential. Those videos were later reportedly deleted, making it difficult to assess his previous claims and trading record. If accurate, this would raise legitimate questions about transparency, particularly for someone leading an investment community.
I first encountered Siam in 2017 and was initially impressed by what appeared to be his authentic persona. Over time, however, I became increasingly concerned about conduct that I believe was deceptive and misleading. This experience demonstrates why self-help and investment gurus—whether operating in investing, personal development, dating, property, or cryptocurrency—should be questioned critically and held accountable for their claims.
Siam Kidd reportedly led members of his community into low-liquidity cryptocurrency tokens on the TAO ecosystem known as subnets. These tokens could rise in price after Siam allegedly told his community to buy them. While community members were purchasing, Siam may have been selling his own holdings. Because the transactions occurred on a public blockchain, they can potentially be tracked and independently verified.
Some community members reportedly continued holding these projects after being instructed to do so during live Zoom calls, for which they paid up to £500 per month. They were allegedly used as exit liquidity for larger wallets linked to Siam’s investment funds, Golden Geese and DSV Fund. Siam is alleged to have instructed members to continue holding their positions before exiting without providing them with a fair warning.
The screenshots included in this article reportedly come from Siam’s paid Discord community, The Realistic Trader. After another member leaked the images on the Fake Guru subreddit, Siam subsequently closed the community to new members. Whether this was an admission of wrongdoing or a decision made for other reasons remains unclear.
This member noted:
“Siam claimed that holding these positions would see us 2–3× our portfolios because there was a tidal wave of TAO imminent.” This never happened—the crypto subnets Siam promoted crashed significantly.
“I agree 100 percent with this. We have been told by Honey Badger to be 100 percent in Alpha multiple times during trading sessions, especially in the subnets associated with the doxxed wallet”—Siam’s public wallet, which allegedly moves first to buy these subnets and cryptocurrencies before Siam does.
“This is very sad. Everything was running smoothly before you became a director of a public company (DSV). Now you can’t share anything with the community, and instead of trying to help, we are all losing here—not only you, but also members of your community: the people who trusted you in the first place. I am very sorry for you, man. You have built your own golden jail.”
Again, this is an example of how self-help gurus such as Siam Kidd allegedly abandon their communities in pursuit of larger “high-ticket” sales. Siam allegedly used wallets associated with his other “hedge fund” companies, Golden Geese and DSV, to profit from members of his community who were following him. This is suggested by posts from members of his own community—paid customers spending £6,000 a year to access his Discord server—who have complained about the situation.
Telling people to hold while selling may potentially violate insider-trading laws in the UK. I believe Siam may have committed a serious legal violation and may continue to operate his other crypto “hedge funds,” including Golden Geese, which allegedly caused investors to lose more than 80–90 percent of their portfolios. If Siam wishes to challenge me on this, I have legal access to documents relating to the company and can point to the recorded losses.
He allegedly used the naivety of his own community to “pump his bags,” so to speak. He extracted money from “low-ticket” members paying £500 a month, then moved on to hedge-fund investors, charging them a higher monthly fee. The strategy appears to involve continually pitching to increasingly higher-value customers who may be naïve enough to buy in, while using the liquidity of lower-paying members to support higher-value investments and generate profits for Siam’s wallets while others lose money.
Siam then continued to promote DSV Fund after closing his lower-ticket offering, The Realistic Trader Discord. After extracting as much money as possible from his initial group of customers, he continued pitching in places such as London and San Francisco, despite the alleged legal violations involving Golden Geese, The Realistic Trader, and DSV.
It is also noteworthy that this user’s direct message stated: “People are losing a lot here. There are plenty of them, but they don’t do anything because they are afraid.”
Siam allegedly runs a cult-like community and ostracises anyone who challenges it. It is difficult to speak out and gather evidence against him because he allegedly suppresses criticism. For example, regarding the cryptocurrencies TIME and OHM, which he promoted as the next “big thing” in crypto, he allegedly deleted the YouTube videos promoting them after those assets crashed.
The allegations in this post are presented as opinions and claims based on the information available to the author. They have not been independently verified, and the individuals and companies mentioned should be given an opportunity to respond.
Another member on Siam’s Discord noted:
“I think the big difference here is that it’s not that we’re taking Siam’s learnings and trying some trading strategies that aren’t going well. We are doing exactly what he says, which is buying TAO (the cryptocurrency), but we are losing money. So it’s a matter of dynamics, not a ‘this is your responsibility’ issue.”
In my opinion, this clearly suggests that Siam may have been taking profits while using his members as exit liquidity. If accurate, this could potentially raise serious legal concerns, including whether it violates UK insider-trading laws, given that Siam is based in the UK.
If this isn’t evidence that Siam’s paid Discord group may be operating like a pump-and-dump scheme, I don’t know what is. The statement appears to suggest that Siam is making money while everyone else is losing.
Another member made the following point on Discord:
“I respectfully disagree. Siam has told us many times, ‘Make sure you are 100 percent invested in Alpha and have exposure to doxxed wallet subnets.’ These are the subnet crypto tokens in which Siam’s DSV fund was invested.
“We were told to make sure we were 100 percent invested in Alpha (subnets).” Again, this is evidence of Siam pushing his community into low-liquidity assets.
“We were told that holding these positions would increase our portfolios by two to three times because a tidal wave of TAO was imminent.” Siam was selling the vision like a slimy salesman: promising an easy two- to threefold return while profiting and dumping on his community, as the other screenshots clearly show.
Siam would say these positions would increase two- to threefold before selling them and taking profits from his own community.
One other member indicates:
“It feels like subnet investing has gone from being the opportunity of a lifetime to something completely different in just a few weeks. I thought the strategy was to hold these SNs (subnets) because big money was coming in—just stay in the alpha group. Now, if you’re not actively trading subnets, your portfolio gets absolutely wrecked.” This shows the dangers of the low liquidity subnets that Siam was promoting on his discord to his paid members- with many being instructed to hold whilst Siam’s big wallets sold leading to a cascade effect which would wreck the users that held on.
“I’ve followed nearly all the calls, and missing just a few over the past week or two has reduced my portfolio by around 30% overall. Combined with the fact that we now have an unstable leader at the helm—Const, the CEO of the TAO ecosystem—this suddenly no longer feels like the golden opportunity.”
These comments appear to suggest that Siam had presented an opportunity to earn an easy 2–3x return from these low-liquidity cryptocurrencies, while some community members believe he was taking profits as others suffered losses. One customer claims to have lost 30% of their portfolio and says they received no response from Siam.
What evidence supports these claims? Two screenshots appear to suggest that potential insider trading may have occurred within Siam Kidd’s community, The Realistic Trader. In one, a customer alleges that Siam used the community as exit liquidity and betrayed the people who trusted him. In another, a customer says they were instructed to hold these cryptocurrency altcoins, known as “subnets.”
So where was Siam’s response? It was nonexistent. He simply said nothing while the complaints continued to come in thick and fast. One member, Ercan, said he was “practically in tears” after following Siam Kidd’s calls and indications that this would be a quick and easy “2–3x” opportunity. He said it hurt and that it was an “absolute waste of fucking time” following Siam Kidd’s calls and predictions. Yet Siam did nothing, said nothing, and acted as though nothing was wrong—even though it obviously was. A paying member, who pays £6,000 a year for the group, had just lost a huge amount of money based on your poor calls, and you did nothing. You gave no response while your own paying customer was in distress. Shame on you, Siam.
One other paying customer showcases I can’t help feeling we’re just working against headwinds at the moment and getting into subnets in April 2026 was way too early. But no one else has seemed to express this sentiment and Siam hasn’t been very clear or honest in stating that this was a bad call or how to resolve this issue.
Showing how Siam Kidd lead his trading community to the slaughter by going into low liquidity crypytocurrencies and wasn’t fully transparent with his trading community – showing potentially Siam is either fraudulent or at best a complete moron either way the fact that someone so stupid as Siam Kidd could own a trading company and two investment firms is utterly ridiculous.
Again another post of one member showing how one member tried to share sources that indicated Tao was going to crash which it eventually did to $200 yet Siam (who’s discord name is honey badger) lambasts him – this is how self help guru cults operate they shame members into not acting out of the cult even though said member who wanting to act independently was correct in his calls Siam still outs him and lambasts him – Siam Kidd wants people to be dependant on him only and can’t bear to see another telegram group or guru that’s smarter than him so he outs and shames those who speak against him.
Then when he is wrong and his members are right Siam says nothing – the guru is wrong and the identity is gone there is nothing more he can do. The image is shattered and his following who have payed a ridiculous amount to with him are driven into the abysss losing all their money in the process
Funny Siam was bigging up the doxed wallets returns but can’t even be bothered to read the own message of his $6k a year paid discord members to see quite clearly that people who followed it off his advice got absolutely obliterated – this isn’t me making crap up about his customers its legitimately a post on his own discord . “ With the member above quoted to saying ” I guess im looking to see if anyone else is in the same boat or is it just me who feels like exit liquidity for everyone else not being a first mover from the doxxed wallet moves”
Siam isn’t clever enough to see that by putting his community through low liquidity crypto tokens that some of them will obviously get obliterated due to the low liquidity of the projects he suggests to his customers and Siam as the largest wallet will always have liquidity moving after him. This is a careless and reckless way to advise your paid group customers who rely on you. No wonder people have turned on him so much.
If your customers sense they are your exit liquidity you have responsibility to do something to protect them from being your exit liquidity. Siam doesn’t do that like the narcissist he is
This customer suggests that the dTao space which Siam has constantly been promoting his alt coin tokens in has has been infested with sharks and manipulation – This is exactly right it’s full of pump and dump scams but Siam runs an investment hedgefund in dtao – he’s never going to be honest when he’s fucking things up for his customers because if he does then he will lose investors to his hedgefund- DSV . His own discord paying customers have no confidence in the bull shit he preaches. An example where you must think for yourself or else gurus like Sam all send you to the dogs. And “Dtao” which Siam has been bigging up for God knows how long its just a bunch of shitcoins within a shitcoin – of course even if his investors are 80 percent down he will never admit the truth because he’s a narcissistic lying piece of shit
Another customer claims that being in Dtao has killed him –
“I have remained calm” this customer indicates – but if you remain calm you just give into whatever guru pitches and don’t think for yourself then said gurus actions can just serve to fuck you over. You need to question any guru- the patience and calmness that scammers like Siam ask from you will only fuck you over . Question everything from everyone and never just blindly accept some voodoo sales gurus opinion.
Siam’s admin then posts “ I am 100 percent sure when Siam is back he will pivot and create a new strategy based on his latest change”
No he won’t – he’s fucked over his golden geese investors and is too stupid to trade properly . He’s never going to admit he’s wrong as he’s too arrogant and deluded . He just keeps pitching the same old failed ideas over and over – like he did with the cryptocurrencies Time and Ohm.
Siam appears to have no remorse to all these failed customers – seemingly nearly never replying to them – what a terrible way to treat your customers who’ve lost money on junk ideas you’ve sold them and who’ve paid ridiculous fees for your mentorship for $6000 a year.
Siam admins post “ We are super early to Tao” Yes that’s the same crap we have heard for every single crypto currency – we are super early. The same junk ass narrative that siam will sell that it’s “the next eth” like every fake guru cryptocurrency will pitch.
Siam’s paying customer says the pain from investing in the cryptocurrency tao “takes it to another level” imagine putting your customers who’ve paid $6000 through additional financial pain.
The customer asks Siam’s moderator “ are we are super wrong” about Tao again Siam does and says nothing – what he does best when challenged with any critical thought because he has no brain cells.
Another one of Siam’s customer responds Saying the cryptocurrency “Tao was in a bear market during the bull market “ showing how poor a pick Tao was – when the SNP, bitcoin et al were making higher highs the cryptocurrency Tao continued to correct and go down – Siam was to stupid to advise his discord on doing anything else other than going all in Tao but the Tao chart continues to bleed.
Siam is so incompetent that when the market is in a “everything goes up” mode only his asset goes down – yet there’s no responsibility from his staff or Siam just “we are early be patient” as his customers continue to bleed money dry . Again Siam never admits his faults even if he picks an asset that goes down when everything goes up it just shows the delusion that these kids have.
Then we have the glorious price predictions by Siam Kidd which were posted directly from his YouTube channel so if he denies this then he’s a lying fuck. He cited the terrible market cap performance of Tao to be at $3400 by 2026 which it never hit – bear in mind its 2026 now and Tao sits at $250 – none of these price targets hit and Tao is hilariously actually below when Siam made the video in 2025.
Then there is the “happy” out come of $9500 by 2026 which again Tao NEVER hit.
Then there is the other price target of $35,000 – pulled straight out of his ass to his naive audience . All in all a disappointing outcome considering this thing never got close to getting past 700 bucks.
This screenshot below shows one user on siam’s paid discord going against the cult leader main admin – with the cult leader claiming that “We are super early on the cryptocurrency tao” but the user asks we are “super wrong” about the cryptocurrency – another user then states that “tao was in a bear market during the bull market” for stocks which isn’t incorrect – despite siam’s calls for $10,000 to $20,000 a coin which sits at $222 at the time of writing Tao continued to make lower lows after 2024 against Siam’s predictions.
One worrying comment by a customer shows that in purchasing siam’s cours he has lost money and hasnt got what he signed up for
Another customer showcased that he followed siam’s advice into “solid” cryptocurrency subnets tokens and lost over 50 tao ( the cryptocurrency that Siam has promoted)
Here, another paid member says, “I am paying £500 a month to be told how to navigate these troubling times. Will we see more of the same, with ‘everything is just fine’? Will we get a warning that we might not reach those $5,000 per TAO? Bear in mind that this was a post from 2024. The cryptocurrency TAO never came close to that figure, topping out at $700 that year, and now sits at $200 at the time of writing—some $4,800 below Siam’s prediction. It’s a classic fake-guru tactic: take money from your members, encourage them to write positive reviews because of their sunk-cost fallacy, and then, once they become frustrated, simply ignore them, as Siam does. One common theme in these threads is that Siam never seems to engage actively with people who complain. He offers no customer service or support because he is too busy squandering his users’ cash on Ponzi crypto scams.
Another one of Siam’s customers states” man been holding tao since 700 and my portfolio is slowly bleeding to death
“I usually keep my cool during these time but im slowly starting to feel if i just give up and take out what little i have left
Some members do question siam’s cult like promotion of the subnets
” the issue for me id you cant tell when it will go up more importantly what subnet will go up ” this paid £6000 member himself seems to be waking up to the fact that this could all be a fugazi – which it does end up being as nearly everything Siam has promoted in the crypto currency Tao has corrected some 80-90 percent since Siam promoted them.
This is added by the user telling Honey Badger who is Siam Kidd that ” there are many unknown factors in play here its speculation at best igs just frustrating because on the zoom calls we need to actively manage these subnets yet we are also told to wait for a recovery which one is it”
This member above complains of Siam’s poor service – a classic case of Siam Kidd’s fake guru persona of ditching his high ticket sales clients for the higher ticket of DSV fund and Golden Geese- at the time of writing golden geese has lost investors some 80 percent of their capital
One member showcases the problems of Siam promoting low cap cryptocurrency tokens like Taoinu and Zapi – showing this is exactly like TIME and OHM two cryptocurrencies which Siam promoted in 2021 – arguing the problem that certain members front ran each other creating a lot of issues which it did with Time and OHM back in 2021 and is happening again this time – the fact that Siam has not been penalised legally yet for this is outrageous .
Astrid PLC Stock Scam
Astrid stock price literally tops the very same day Siam promotes it on his discord . It’s a uk public limited company which Siam draws a £100k plus salary from- but after Siam’s promotion the stock continues a violent collapse from 18 pence a share to 4 pence in that time the cryptocurrency behind Astrid a token called “subnet 127” also collapses too. Could this potentially be seen as insider trading? Also it seems other finance blogs have picked up on this strangeness there’s even a screenshot of his own admin complaining about how his investment in Astrid is not going well. Similarly on Twitter there are many complaints from investors describing dodgy play from Siam Kidd touching the placing funds .
The price then continues a collapse from 18 pence to 4 pence in just 9 months showing how little faith the general public has in Siam’s innovations and the “death touch” that an investment from Dsv fund can provide . A word of warning for anyone investing in anything that Siam promotes. The future with all these investments is bleak. The fact that Siam promoting a uk traded company to his following and the fact that this stock price topped the minute Siam promoted it to his paid trading group is also shady as the price has continued to decline since that promotion. Siam is clearly not to be trusted and you need to be weary . A correction that steep is sure sign of general lack of confidenc in Siam
This behaviour has been noticed by other finance blogs:

On other crypto discords same thing of Siam Kidd’s ex customers. This one member was with me when i was first encountered Siam Kidd- the high end ticket guru that can’t trade for shit. This customer shows:
“ My first contact with education with siam Kidd fuck he was mental and lost everyone everything. “
“In 2017-2018 he took his membership from like 200 per month to $6k a year in one click”
Showing the high ticket sales gurus just simply increase the price and don’t care about the service they are offering- he’s clearly a madman who doesn’t give a fuck about his clients – judging by the posts on the discord yet he just ramps up his prices for no reason and people pay it thinking they are getting a good service when its a load of dog shit without that full perspective. Be warned when Siam Kidd charges an excess – he usually has nothing to back that up.
On other crypto discords same thing of Siam Kidd’s ex customers.
“ My first contact with education with siam Kidd fuck he was mental and lost everyone everything. “
“In 2017-2018 he took his membership from like 200 per month to $6k a year in one click”
This matches in line with the reviews showing potential “pump and dump scams” by the cryptocurrency Tao and OHM – With one member showcasing that Siam Kidd was collecting huge fees but was absent nearly all the time and there was a rush to get into a “Siam Candle” in Siam’s defence he does seem to offer this student a refund.
Have these discord screenshots of proof of previous customer dissatisfaction i can testify myself that i learnt alongside this member during my time on The Realistic trader trading course .
The next screenshots are particular distressing – one member lead his own friends and family into Siam’s recommendations which saw them lose around 50 percent of their value one of them being the dodgy stock Astrid sn 127 which is now near 70 percent down. One of Siam’s admins shows his frustration at the stock price of Astrid PLC too which was 12 pence at the time of the screenshot but now sits at 4 pence – a penny for his thoughts now no no doubt and another member showcases his frustration at Astrid and Oblong both promoted heavily by Siam and one being a UK based stock – bear in mind these are all screenshots from his £6k a year discord.
The screenshot above shows that Astrid’s price now sits even lower than it was when Siam Kidd promoted it. “I understand that the cryptocurrency TAO hasn’t performed well, but it feels as though those of us at RT are told about these projects at the outset and encouraged to get involved in good faith, based on the expectation that Siam will be a driving force or heavily involved. We are led to believe that the project is going to be highly successful, only for it never to be mentioned again as the price tanks and Siam moves on to something new.”
This is the issue with Siam’s promoted investments: he promotes one project—such as the cryptocurrencies TIME, OHM, or Kaspa—and then, when it fails, moves on to something else. With TIME and OHM, he promoted the cryptocurrencies in YouTube videos, which he later deleted, removing the evidence. This time, he promoted Astrid, a struggling cryptocurrency AI stock, at 18 cents; it is now trading at 4 cents, yet there has been no discussion from him about it. Classic covering his tracks, promoting shit till it dies then moving on.
There have also been many failed Ponzi cryptocurrency subnets that have since fallen by 80–90 percent, with almost no mention of them from Siam. Meanwhile, his cryptocurrency fund goldengoose.io has fallen by another 90 percent or so.
This final screenshot is probably the most damming evidence of potential insider trading with one user confronting Siam stating “I feel that we, RT members have become the exit liquidity as you essentially dump all the “good” subnets from this crypto wallet and all other wallets, creating a waterfall effect…”
The Final statement to Siam is “Im not mad at you; you’re playing your game. I am just feeling frustrated, and I am very sorry for the people who are losing a lot here. There are plenty and they don’t say anything because they are afraid.
This quote could be seen as further evidence that Siam Kidd the crypto guru has pumped and dumped on his customers – this is of course his own paid discord and his own customers experience.
