In His Own Words: Adam Howell's New Dubai Website Confirms the Ventures — and He's Asking Investors for Money Again
The crypto founder behind DopeCoin and the SuperDoge rug pull has resurfaced in Dubai with a polished personal site, an open investor pitch, and a new "Web3 infrastructure" venture — while a criminal defamation conviction and further cases remain unresolved in Thailand.
Adam Howell has quietly launched a new personal website at howelladam.com. It is clean, professional, and confident — a far cry from the anonymous "Dev" persona he is alleged to have hidden behind during the SuperDoge era. The site rebrands him as a legitimate "Cryptocurrency founder & blockchain pioneer" operating out of Dubai, and it is now the single clearest, self-authored confirmation of much of what this site has documented for years.
We think three things about that site are worth every prospective investor's attention. First, in his own words and under his own name, it ties Adam Howell to the exact ventures we have reported on — DopeCoin, SuperDoge, Crypto Billings, Grow Advertising and Unacell — removing any "it wasn't me" deniability. Second, its contact page is an open solicitation for investment, and it pitches a brand-new, pre-launch venture wrapped in the language of United Arab Emirates financial regulators. Third, it confirms he is now based in Dubai — the same relocation our reporting has tied to his departure from Thailand following an August 2025 criminal defamation conviction and, according to court records, further unresolved cases.
What the new site does not mention, anywhere, is Thailand, the conviction, or the reason he left. That omission is itself telling. Below, we walk through what the site says, cross-reference it against the public record, and explain why we believe anyone approached for money should read it as a warning rather than a résumé.
A New Site, a Familiar Name
The home page leads with a portrait and a tagline that leaves nothing ambiguous: "Cryptocurrency founder & blockchain pioneer · Dubai." Beneath it, the copy reads: "I've been building in crypto since 2014. That year I created DopeCoin, the 103rd coin ever listed on CoinMarketCap and one of the earliest meme coins anywhere. Since then I've founded SuperDoge, a charity token featured in Bloomberg and CNBC, an ad exchange that served over a billion impressions, and companies across payments and Web3." The footer carries a current copyright line — © 2026 Adam Howell — so this is a live, present-day presentation, not an old archive.

This matters because it is voluntary and unambiguous. For years, the people alleging harm from these ventures have had to connect anonymous wallets, deleted domains and third-party filings to a single individual. Now that individual has published the connections himself. The "pioneer" framing is his; the ventures listed are his; the Dubai base is his. We are simply holding his own words up against the record.
In His Own Words: The Ventures He Now Claims
The site's About page describes Howell as a "builder, operator, early crypto founder" and a "Canadian founder, in crypto since 2014" with "a track record anyone can look up." We agree that the record is worth looking up — which is precisely why we have documented it. Here is how his framing lines up against our prior, sourced reporting:
- DopeCoin (2014).He calls it "the 103rd coin ever listed on CoinMarketCap." Our investigative report into his crypto ventures documents the same coin — and allegations that it was used for repeated pump-and-dump cycles, including a rebrand to "DopeCoin Gold."
- SuperDoge (2021–2022).He presents it as a "charity token featured in Bloomberg and CNBC." Our deep dive into the SuperDoge rug pull examines the same token — its collapse, its vanished website, and the estimated investor losses — and a follow-up on the anonymous pitch and inner-circle ties. His own timeline now dates SuperDoge to "2021 to 2022" and states its liquidity is "locked until 1 January 2100" — a 76-year lock we invite readers to weigh for themselves.
- Crypto Billings, Grow Advertising, Unacell, Cathedral Energy. His timeline lists these as founder/operator roles. Our reporting has separately alleged that Crypto Billings sought to raise multi-millions for a project a developer told us could have been built for a fraction of that, and maps the wider trail of dead domains (growadvertising.io, unacell.com, cryptobillings.com) across the same period.

The "full timeline" on howelladam.com/about, listing his ventures — including the pre-launch "Stealth" project in Dubai.
One detail worth flagging for anyone doing diligence: the dates on his own site do not fully agree with each other. The venture cards on the home page and the "full timeline" on the About page give differing start and end years for the same companies. Inconsistent self-reported histories are a basic red flag in any investment context, and here they come straight from the source.
"Stealth": A New Raise, Cloaked in UAE Regulation
The most important — and most current — item on the site is not a past venture at all. It is the top entry on his career timeline: "Founder · Stealth (Dubai), 2025 to present." He describes it as "Web3 infrastructure for institutional digital-asset flows under VARA and ADGM frameworks. Compliance-grade architecture; pre-launch." On the About page he expands: "Today I'm building from Dubai, working on infrastructure for institutional digital-asset flows under the UAE's VARA and ADGM frameworks. It is compliance-grade architecture for the next phase of the industry."
Read that carefully. VARA is Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority; ADGM is the Abu Dhabi Global Market. These are real, respected regulators — and that is exactly why their names are useful to someone building credibility. Invoking a regulator's framework is not the same as being licensed, authorised or supervised by it. The site offers no licence number, no registered entity, and no regulatory reference that a prospective investor could verify. What it offers is the impression of oversight.
In our assessment, this is the same playbook we have documented before, upgraded for a more sophisticated audience. The credibility scaffolding around his earlier ventures leaned on borrowed authority: a claimed "partnership" with Bitcoin.com, a "CertiK audited" badge on SuperDoge, and — as our reporting alleges — an attempt to buy a celebrity endorsement from Shark Tank's Kevin Harrington for Crypto Billings using money borrowed from a business partner and never repaid. The props have changed from a TV personality to a pair of Gulf regulators. The technique — attach your name to something trusted, then raise on the reflected glow — has not.
The Ask: Soliciting Investors Again
None of this would matter to investors if he were not asking for money. He is. The contact page is headed "Let's talk" and states, in plain language:
"Open to serious conversations with aligned investors, strategic partners and senior operators. The best way to reach me is direct."

The contact page on howelladam.com — an open solicitation to "aligned investors, strategic partners and senior operators."
Set that invitation against how he describes his own history two clicks away. On the About page he writes that he "bootstrapped and kept lean long before I took a dollar of outside money" and closes with "I care about doing the work over talking about it, and I keep the receipts."Our reporting tells a different story about the receipts — of investor money raised and lost, of a landlord and business partners allegedly left unpaid to the tune of several million Thai baht, and of a former partner's money that, by his own site's framing, apparently was "outside money" after all.
For anyone weighing a "serious conversation," the basic due-diligence gaps on the site are hard to miss:
- No registered legal entity. "Stealth" is named but not incorporated on the page — no company number, no jurisdiction of registration, no regulator licence.
- No verifiable regulatory status. VARA and ADGM are invoked as "frameworks," not as authorisations he holds.
- No physical address and no phone number. Contact runs through a single email and social links; "the best way to reach me is direct" keeps everything off the record.
- A press wall that mixes editorial with wire syndication. Genuine 2014 DopeCoin coverage sits alongside 2021 SuperDoge items that appear to be paid newswire press releases (GlobeNewswire / Financial Post, Yahoo Finance) rather than independent reporting.
Dubai — and What He Left Behind in Thailand
The site confirms, repeatedly, that Adam Howell is "building from Dubai." We have no dispute with that fact — it matches everything our reporting has said about where he went. The question is what the site leaves out.
On August 28, 2025, a Thai court convicted Adam Howell of criminal defamation under Section 326 of the Thai Criminal Code, imposing a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years. That is an adjudicated fact, on the record, and it is detailed in our reporting on his Odysee smear operation and in the flagship exposé compiling the court records and victim accounts.
Beyond that conviction, and according to court records and our prior reporting, Howell is alleged to face further unresolved proceedings in Thailand — reported as three additional criminal complaints for filing false allegations and an active civil defamation case — and is said to have left the country in early 2026 owing a landlord and former partners several million baht. We report these as documented allegations, not settled findings. But the timing is difficult to ignore: a man with a fresh conviction and, on the record, multiple open cases relocated to a jurisdiction with no extradition treaty with Thailand and, within months, stood up a polished new site soliciting investors — with no mention of any of it. In our assessment, that is not the profile of a "pioneer" with nothing to hide. Readers can review the network of enablers around him in our piece on the architect of deception and his web of accomplices.
If You're Approached: An Investor Due-Diligence Warning
The purpose of this site has always been investor protection through documentation. If you have been contacted by Adam Howell, by anyone representing "Stealth," or by a "Web3 infrastructure" opportunity attached to his name, we urge you to slow down and verify before any money or commitment changes hands:
- Demand the legal entity. Ask for the registered company name, number, and jurisdiction, then verify it independently with that registry. "Building in stealth" is not a substitute for incorporation.
- Verify the regulator claim. Ask VARA and ADGM directly whether the entity holds any licence, registration, or authorisation. A "framework" reference is not a licence.
- Search the name plus "DopeCoin" and "SuperDoge." Read the public record — including this site — before, not after, you wire funds.
- Insist on audited, on-chain history. For any token or fund, demand independently verifiable wallet addresses, audits you can confirm with the auditor, and a liquidity arrangement you can inspect yourself.
- Get everything in writing. "The best way to reach me is direct" should not mean off the record. Keep a documented trail of every representation made to you.
A convincing website is not a track record, and a regulator's name is not a regulator's approval. Adam Howell has told the world, in his own words, which ventures are his and that he is open for investment again. We are simply making sure the rest of that story — the conviction, the cases, and the pattern our reporting has documented — travels with it.
