Social Coop is a company that claims to have acquired three Mastodon servers???

Hmm, looks like a shell company in the Caymen Islands?

how did you find this omg and how is this the only public documentation of this thing

pawoo.net linked to Russell Co's site. Mask has a ton of entities, it looks like. Dimension seems to be a holding company for several related entities as well. And I found this interesting repo:

https://github.com/DimensionDev/SocialCollectiveTokens

Uggh. Mask Network is about encrypted text as an overlay. And yeah, I guess their company name is The Social Coop Limited. We should ask them to change their name....

Yea, I dunno if we have trademark or anything, but there's typically an obligation to address any possible infringements in order to maintain the legal protections of such a trademark.

Also just saw this too:

Suji Yan is not only Chairman of The Social Coop Limited, they are also founder of The Mask Network https://twitter.com/suji_yan

And according to a reply to Chris Trottier, aslo admin of Mastodon.cloud https://social.coop/@[email protected]/109552937135944360

Yea, also found this:

Via https://dimension.im/, which appears to be a holding company for Mask, among others. Like layers of some insane onion.

Yes, the multiple layers and linkages is typical of crypto stuff

Searching Sujitech LLC Illinois came up first with this

We could find out more by paying Dun & Bradstreet

But there is also this

https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_il/LLC_06031196

I can't tell yet whether these are the same firm - there's no LLC number on the Dun & Bradstreet entry

Maybe ICANN info on some of those web domains would turn up more info? I gotta run now but could take a look later.
