So here we go, another layer of the onion peeled back and surprise surprise: it stinks.
Turns out OCT owner
@JohnLocke isn’t just the benevolent shepherd of lost offshore lambs, but the same guy behind
CClogic, one of those bottom-tier, reselling-other-people’s-services kind of companies. The smoking gun? The forum itself was never about “community” or “knowledge sharing.” It was born as nothing more than a marketing funnel for his little resale shop. Proof right here in this vintage gem:
Offshore Company in Hong Kong, Belize, Seychelles, Panama or BVI - Read Here!

And since shady ventures have a short shelf life, they didn’t even last long before the
BVI FSC caught them running unauthorized services and slapped them with a public warning:
CC Logic LLC - Advisory Warning No. 15 of 2009 | British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission
Now for the cherry on this clown sundae: the self-promotional thread where a supposed happy customer cheers for CClogic’s brilliance… posted on the same forum that just
happens to belong to them.
Keep the good work guys @ cclogic!
Dig a little and you see it’s nothing but fake accounts clapping for themselves. Take
@EliasIT: just another alias for
@JohnLocke. The avatar, the join date, the consecutive registration number, the nationality (Danish, what a coincidence), all line up too neatly. Just another sock puppet in a sock drawer already overflowing.
So, next time someone tells you OffshoreCorpTalk is a legitimate space for offshore wisdom, remember: it started life as a cheap marketing gimmick for a service provider that regulators had to shut down, and evolved into a full scale scam. The emperor has no clothes, but he sure has a lot of fake usernames.
