Lie to Me

Lie to Me is a docu-thriller about psychology and manipulation in a crypto-age

In 2014, the crypto-currency OneCoin was launched. Calling itself the ‘Bitcoin killer’, OneCoin promised riches and a digital revolution of the financial market. Now anyone could become a millionaire overnight as long as they invested their money as quickly as possible, and with the charismatic Ruja Ignatova as its official queen, OneCoin quickly became the talk of the town from Silicon Valley to Europe. Until Norwegian investigator Bjørn Bjercke suspected that there wasn’t even an actual currency behind the digital house of cards. OneCoin was closer to a pyramid scheme than anything to do with algorithms. But even after countless scandals, imprisonments and deaths, OneCoin incredibly lives on 10 years later. A tale of psychology and manipulation in a time when the gap between real value and empty numbers is as wide as the dream of easy money is seductive.

Muslims in non-Muslim lands

Mohammed‘s main focus is on the concept of minority jurisprudence (fiqh al-aqalliyat) and tradition-based or Sharia hermeneutics. His book, Muslims in non-Muslim Lands: A Legal Study with Applications, explains how the British Muslim community developed its faith identity through three particular stances: assimilation, isolation and integration. The findings argue that the assumption that Islam causes Muslims to isolate from the indigenous population and form ‘a state within a state’ is false, and that Islamic law actually gives Muslims confidence and the ability to integrate within the wider society.

Fatwa exposing OneCoin scheme

Cryptocurrency OneCoin is deemed one of the world’s biggest crypto-scams. OneCoin claimed to have a Shariah-compliant certificate about which Mufti Amjad Mohammed started to receive queries by uncertain Muslim investors. After careful inspection of the OneCoin terms and conditions, Mohammed issued a fatwa saying that Muslims should not invest in OneCoin. In response, OneCoin claimed they had changed their T&Cs, but he still advised against Muslims investing as OneCoin could not be found on any cryptocurrency exchanges.
