‘Worthless tokens’: The crypto coin, a chicken kebab shop and the missing millions

Hussein Faraj, 40, is an undischarged bankrupt who runs Chicken Licious, a kebab shop in Rockdale. On his Facebook page, he lists himself as the “CEO and Cofounder at NuGenesis”, a cryptocurrency company he established in August 2021, as well as the president of the United Shia Islamic Foundation.
According to its website, NuGenesis operates in the crypto sphere as “a decentralized blockchain that uses Artificial Intelligence to power its operations”.
NuGenesis began offering its crypto token, NuCoin, in November 2021.
Angry investors have told this masthead, “We have been left holding a bag of worthless tokens.”
One well-known businessman and his partner, who invested $100,000 in late 2021, have been chasing Faraj for years for the return of their money. In January, they received a threatening call from Faraj. “Just wait. I told you I am coming after you, you piece of shit …. one by one I am going to wipe youse out.”
