The Azadzoi Scheme: 25 Victims, $10 Million, and Counting

Don’t Lose Hope — Here’s Where We’re At
There are now 25 known victims and over $10 million in stolen investments, fraud, and lost properties tied to John Mohammad Azadzoi and his web of deceit. This includes everyday people, professionals, charities, and families. And yet, somehow, he’s still operating.
Let’s talk about how.
His “wife” — Zarmina Azadzoy — isn’t legally married to him in California. That’s because they’re first cousins, and cousin marriage is legal in California. However, they are not legally married, and that appears to be by design.
By avoiding legal marriage, Zarmina can be listed on real estate documents as an “unmarried woman.” That single checkbox allows John to quietly transfer assets to her, keeping transactions off his own record and giving the appearance that she is acting independently. She also uses a slightly different spelling of the last name (Azadzoy vs. Azadzoi), likely to further distance herself from paper trails and connect-the-dots scrutiny.
The reality? They had an off-the-books ceremony, and most of the properties tied to John seem to pass through family names in a way that raises serious questions. And while cousin marriage may be legal, using your spouse’s “unmarried” status to shield assets from legal exposure — that’s not just shady, it’s fraudulent when paired with intent.
One big development: I now have a direct line to a senior investigator at the Department of Real Estate (DRE). John’s license is being reviewed, and the more facts and supporting evidence we can provide, the stronger that case becomes. His ability to operate has relied heavily on people around him with licenses — like his nephew Pashmon, who I had to Venmo for photos of my own house after John refused to pay him. And even then, Pashmon tried to stay “neutral.” Imagine being neutral when you know a family member is actively destroying lives. Out of respect for my own real estate license, I sent the money. I held my end, even when no one else did.
That house — the one on Linda Flora — has now been sitting with the bank for months. They can’t sell it. It’s been passed around by influencers using it as content to show what happens when “luxury homes go wrong.” Meanwhile, I continue to suffer while John continues to dodge accountability.
If you’re someone who has photos or info on other destroyed or shady properties, I’d love to put together a visual archive — something that shows the scale of this, not just in names but in ruined structures, broken contracts, empty homes. Send it. It matters.
My case — which was initially filed in Riverside — has been transferred to the West LA Police Department and assigned to an investigator. And while John is careful, he wasn’t careful enough. My transaction includes clear evidence of fraud and forgery. That’s not speculation — it’s documented.
And for those asking if anyone is watching: yes. My website is receiving traffic directly from the Department of Justice headquarters. That means the tips we’ve submitted, the reports, the files — they’re landing in the right place. It’s not a movie. This takes time. But just because we don’t see immediate consequences doesn’t mean nothing is happening.
Meanwhile, my civil suit is finally being filed next week. It took longer than expected because there were so many parties involved — not just John, but the network around him. Every single enabler is being named.
I also now have daily alerts set on the Azadzoi and Azadzoy names, their companies, and their known associates. Almost daily, I’m seeing hits — new loans, refinances, notices of default, foreclosures, purchases. They’re constantly shifting — trying to stay ahead of consequences. But patterns expose people. And his is no longer hidden.
I’ll be honest: every day without my money hurts. It affects my children, my home, my mental health, my business. The damage isn't just financial. It’s emotional. Psychological. Exhausting. And yet, every day I get back up — because I know he’ll have to answer for this. No debt goes unpaid. And every ounce of damage I’ve endured will return to him — legally, publicly, and permanently.
And here’s the part that blew my mind: the other night a man named Yang Hu — I could not verify if it was the actual infamous straw buying Yang Hu but Yang knows exactly what’s happened. And he’s done nothing. At this point, staying quiet is a choice. Yang could have tried to at least apologize, he is local to me, has children and a wife. He is a working engineer and I think I will be reaching out to his employer to see if they should trust an engineer that enabled the entire scheme under Pearl City, Yang's company, not John's. How can you trust a straw buyer to be engineering anything?
And while I used to think Essa Rassool was just a coward, it turns out he’s been actively involved in multiple deals tied to this scheme — including ones involving a man named Elias. That’s not passivity. That’s partnership. Essa, write the check. You're so guilty.
Has anyone had Jeff McKeown from WFG Title work on their deal with John? Any of my whistleblowers have information? I have a bone to pick with WFG and I have decided to start looking at any WFG deals done with John & friends for any red flags or patterns. Maybe instead of just righting my wrong, they can right yours, too. More on that later. Guess they want to do it the hard way.
John has recently started singing again and posting on social media, which tells me he’s dropped his guard — probably because nothing has happened to him yet. I never said this process would be quick, just that it would be worth it. His confidence now is a sign that the pressure isn’t off yet, and that means the time to act is right now.
So if you’re wondering if this is still moving — it is. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it — it is. We’ve come this far. He’s not untouchable. He’s just used to being protected.
But that’s changing.
And to John: You don’t get to harm people endlessly and expect silence forever. I’ve kept every receipt. And I will continue to speak. Everything I do is legal. Everything I do is documented. But if I were you? I wouldn’t sleep so well anymore.
To the victims: Don’t lose hope. It’s slow because we’re doing it right. Facts. Law. Truth.
We’re not giving up. We’re just getting stronger.
Spooked? Maliha Azadzoi and the Curious Property Shuffle
Following the last blog post, a suspicious transaction involving Maliha Azadzoi and Zarmina Azadzoi quietly occurred. On September 2024, their primary residence was transferred to Skyridge Capital Inc., a corporation led by Maliha. Then—just nine months later—it was transferred right back on June 2025.
Why move the property into a corporate name, only to revert it?
This kind of flip-flop isn’t typical in real estate unless someone’s trying to obscure ownership, delay legal exposure, or posture for financial gain. The fact that the property is still listed for sale—with nothing more than renderings and a half-built pool—makes the timing even more questionable.
Whether the intent was to hide assets, restructure liability, or manipulate optics, the move adds to the growing list of inconsistencies surrounding their operations. It’s just one more puzzle piece in a pattern that’s becoming harder to ignore.
How You Can Help — and Why It Matters
When I submitted my tip to the FBI, I included the bank account information I wired my investment funds to. That part matters more than people realize. Bank activity leaves trails — and when you submit the exact account you paid, investigators can verify your claim, track suspicious movement, and connect the dots between victims.
If you haven’t submitted a tip yet, or if you did but left out that detail, I encourage you to send it in now. You can add your name or remain anonymous, but the more data we provide, the stronger the case becomes.
Submit your information here: https://tips.fbi.gov/home
The name of the person you sent funds to (e.g., Mohammad Azadzoi, Zarmina Azadzoy)
The exact bank account (routing + account number) if available
The date, amount, and method (wire, cashier’s check, etc.)
A short summary of what you were promised
Every tip builds this. They are watching — and the details matter.
Current Projects — Take Action
If you know about any of John’s current projects, especially if he’s building or remodeling without permits, don’t hesitate to report him to your City’s Building Department. There are real things you can do — don’t roll over or give up.
If you have report numbers — whether from the DRE, police, civil or criminal cases, or any official investigations — please send them to me. We can combine all these reports and list them as a group, making a stronger, unified case.
A Quick Note on “Why Not Everyone Has a Page”
I know some of you have asked, “Why isn’t there a page or website for every person involved?” And I get it — there are a lot of names, a lot of moving parts, and a lot of damage.
But here’s the truth: right now, my number one priority is John Azadzoi. That’s where the core of the fraud begins, and that’s where the most provable, trackable harm has been done. I don’t have the capacity to verify every single statement or build fully sourced sites for each associate — not yet, anyway. I refuse to post names without facts I can stand behind.
What I can do is continue to share the credible stories you’ve submitted, mention the names that consistently come up, and let the SEO do the work. And so far? It’s working.
Because of the site:
3 potential investors pulled out before losing money.
9 new victims found me directly, people who had never heard about this through word of mouth — they found it through search.
This matters. Your stories matter. And while I can’t do everything at once, what we’ve built together is already creating real-world impact.
Media Buzz — It’s Only a Matter of Time
I know a lot of you have been asking about media coverage. Here’s the scoop: one of the victims connected to this case works high up at Netflix, and trust me, they are foaming at the mouth to tell this story and bring it to a wider audience.
I’ve also had deep conversations with the former Orange County District Attorney — one of the most respected commentators on criminal cases — and he told me something powerful: all this story needs is an ending. When that happens, John and his network will become infamous. His name will be known far beyond this circle.
No one knows exactly when that ending will come, but when it does, it’s going to be huge.
