Vasco Rouw, Tamara Weeda and dutch rapper Boef are infiltrating the NFT business by ripping off communities they build with quickly generated hype
At first, I want to introduce myself:
I’m known as Fisto, and have also been known as “Strong Ape Fisto”, fulfilling an Admin Role on Strong Ape Club’s discord.
After the devs have seemed to abandon the project, by being very very inactive and not handing out any information to us, the mods and admins of their discord server, we started to research who they are in real life. (They have always wanted and still want to stay anonymous for security reasons, guess why…)
After a while of complaining about the social media accounts of SAC being way too inactive, they made me their “Social Media Manager” and I had access to the Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Surprise: the Instagram account was linked to Vasco Rouw’s facebook page:
Vasco Rouw, known from https://themillionairesclub.nl/ and his trash-game company VascoGames is anonymously infiltrating the NFT community with multiple projects to generate hype and grab cash.
Before he moved on to NFTs, he had already scammed people with his Token called XPOSE. (the irony of it being called XPOSE…)
He is being assisted by a team of at least 10+ people, having Tamara Weeda, Vasco Rouw’s girlfriend leading some of the projects.
Also Boef, a dutch rapper, is always part of the team (Him and Vasco created the Millionaires Club NL together). They have abandoned several of their NFT projects, when they didn’t meet the expected hype potential, that they had foreseen for these.
Tens of thousands of people have invested in these projects. Few made profit, most of them lost their whole investment. (“Pennyflippers” made profit, “Diamond Hands” lost their investment)
It became even more clear that it is him, when a freelancer joined SAC’s discord, to ask to talk to him about his request on Upwork:

Tamara Weeda:

Projects he is most likely involved in: (perhaps many more)
The Zombie Graveyard
Monkey Society
Fat Ape Club
Island Ape Paradise Club
Strong Ape Club
Retirement Club
Rich Ape Yacht Club
Naughty Bape Club
Tropical Ape Club
Cyclops Monkey Club
Crazy Babies
Cheeky Lion Club
Crypto Bull Society
Shiba Social Club
Prime Ape Planet + Prime Kong Planet
Meta Moose
After they have already made millions with Fat and Strong Ape Club, they have started to hire really talented artists, with astonishing 3d art abilities, harming their reputation after abandoning the projects. (If the artists even reveal their identity, sadly the newer ones did..)
I already feel bad for everyone reading this article, who is invested in any of these projects.
We, the mod and admin team of Strong Ape Club’s discord started to investigate together, so I can get this article done. (We are Kryptiloid, ZENaims, colby, Any-More and wazme10)
They banned Any-More instantly (on Prime Ape Planet’s discord and Strong Ape Club’s at the same moment) after this message on Prime Ape Planet:
The “founder” of Prime Ape Planet has previously been a “Dev” in Strong Ape Club’s discord:
His name on SAC used to be Strong Ape Cordial, since he recycled his discord account, instead of making a new one, you can see his new name on old announcements in SAC’s discord server:
This phenomenon has already happened back in Zombie Graveyard’s discord, after they have abandoned it:
The “founder” of the Naughty Bape Club (the “breeding partner” for Strong Ape Club), originally named Monroe | Founder on NBC’s discord, recycled his/her account for the Meta Moose project:
Their team is pretending to not know about it and “investigated” the case to finally ban him/her:
“Strong Ape Club” , the Main Dev account of SAC discord, who was named Cezar back then (the Main Dev of Monkey Society). Compare this name with the Prime Ape Planet founder CAESAR… BTW: Tamara — “Kongfu” in SAC was named “Kong” in Monkey Society and Bongo | Team in Prime Ape Planet (Mod role removed by now, after I asked her in DM, if she is part of PAP).
They are always using the same font for their announcements on socials:
Just compare all their instagram posts of their different projects, its almost always the same style and font.
Several of their team members are involved in multiple of their projects, even joining their discord server with their main account:
They have reused their website design several times, making it look like these projects were copying each other, although they were most likely all made by the same group of people:
Compare these, it is always the same layout and they are all registered through GoDaddy LLC, which was already used for VascoGames.com back in 2008.

He even talks about it in a dutch documentary about himself and his scam cryptocurrency, (XPOSE) he made millions with, before he went for NFTs (luckily YouTube has the subtext in english). He doesn’t want to tell the journalist, which NFTs he’s making money with.

Before it all started, he was looking for Artists on LinkedIn to join his scam projects:
Right now he is looking for Game Designers on LinkedIn for some of the projects that are apparently going to be “Play 2 Earn” games.
