GrapheneOS is an open source project.

@Joris He's a serial fabricator and many of his claims about it are likely untrue. He's experienced at getting the Dutch media to believe his inaccurate stories including previously duping them into believing he created GrapheneOS. The content on his site claims he was responsible for the 2014 celebrity nude leaks and much more. It's clearly not true and there's nothing ethical about the kind of stuff he's claiming credit for doing. He likely didn't do much or even any of what he claims.
A court rule can create facts for this imposter behaviour. Action for an injunction - called in german "Unterlassungsklage"

@GrapheneOS Maybe LinkedIn removes the false entry if reported:

@GrapheneOS That’s just… I don’t even know. This must be frustrating.

We need help from people in the Netherlands to get Tweakers to investigate their past story where they were duped by Abdoul Rasnab into believing he founded GrapheneOS. They should take it down and issue a formal retraction. Slop farms including Cybernews are unlikely to do much.

This isn't limited to tech news sites passing themselves off as credible sources. Here's one of the major Dutch news sites publishing his claims:
We've attached some screenshots of claimed achivements on Abdoul's website at https://aquax.nl/.
Abdoul said he would donate a portion of the money from each device he sold to GrapheneOS but didn't end up providing most of it. Despite that, he later tried to extort us claiming he'd invested money and was owed returns. GrapheneOS isn't a business and has no shareholders.

We allowed him to make a fork and sell devices with it but he thoroughly misrepresented that as being GrapheneOS behind our backs. He took advantage of the language barrier and our lack of awareness about Dutch media along with us being occupied by the attacks from Copperhead.

He was selling devices by misrepresenting his involvement and was going after other companies selling devices with GrapheneOS based on claiming to have created it. He donated a small portion of the sales to GrapheneOS, but the way he earned it money caused substantial harm to us.

@GrapheneOS you know he's lying when it has to say "All Real" in the heading

@GrapheneOS @TuxOnBike this seems like an opportunity to leverage your Motorola partnership and have their legal department help you out.

We've had to deal with an outrageous amount of nonsense over the years. There are two entirely separate people who have been falsely taking credit for our work for years. This guy getting arrested stopped it from proceeding further. It's hard to know how bad it would have been.
