DISCLOSURE: DUNSMOOR LAW IS CLOSED AS OF NOVEMBER 2, 2023. SEE DUNSMOOR.IO THIS INFORMATION IS TO PROTECT THE INVESTING PUBLIC. NOTHING IN THIS ARTICLE IS LEGAL, FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE. IF YOU HAVE BEEN HARMED BY EVANS, GRESHAM INTERNATIONAL, OR ONE OF THE VARIOUS SCAMS/FRAUDS HE HAS REPRESENTED, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO ME, PLEASE SEE DUNSMOOR.IO FOR MY CONTACT INFORMATION TO ADD EVIDENCE TO THIS CASE OR THE “CAL EVANS IS A SCAMMER” ARTICLES.

This matter has entered a new phase now that Cal Evans has initiated litigation against me and my former firm. As more people visit this website to learn why Cal Evans of Gresham International is a scammer, this page will serve as an excellent starting point for understanding the who, what, when, where, why, and how of this situation.

Why: As a former securities lawyer* especially one who practice in the cryptocurrency industry, zealous advocacy, is not just a requirement under the law but a moral creed. Now, as an advocate for truth and transparency in the cryptocurrency space, I have taken it upon myself to expose Cal Evans’ fraudulent activities and protect the public from his predatory practices. By documenting his long history of lies and misconduct, I hope to prevent others from falling victim to his scams and contribute to a safer, more transparent crypto ecosystem. The cryptocurrency industry is still in its early stages, and it is crucial that we hold bad actors accountable to ensure the long-term growth and stability of the space. (*My license to practice law in New York is currently suspended, but the suspension period has ended allowing me to reapply for full admission.)

Who: Callum Tony Evans or, as he likes to be referred to as “Mr. Cal Evans” is a self-proclaimed “award winning international crypto lawyer” and the Managing Associate of Gresham International, a US-based law firm and legal services firm focused on the cryptocurrency industry. However, Evans is not a qualified solicitor, barrister, or lawyer anywhere else in the world. He is a CILEx Chartered Legal Executive with limited practice rights in England and Wales and does not have a practice certificate to represent clients in areas such as criminal law, real estate, or family law. His ability to call himself a lawyer is a farce and a miscarriage of justice. This is why he is called the Crypto Con Lawyer.

And, finally, now that Evans has used his Hail Mary option of attempting to sue me and my former firm, Dunsmoor Law (in the wrong court), for presumably defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress (I have yet to be served the complaint), I have created a new category of articles, A Glorified Paralegal v. A Legitimate Lawyer, that will document his legal demise:

When:

  • April 26, 2019: Evans becomes licensed by CILEx as a Chartered Legal Executive with limited practice rights in England and Wales, despite giving out legal advice far before then
  • 2021: I began investigating Cal Evans’ credentials
  • 2023-2024: I, with the help of others, uncovered Evans’ involvement in several crypto scams (Giza, Ardana, Aubit/Freeway, Burency, and Viking Fehu)
  • April 2024: I published a series of articles exposing Evans’ fraudulent activities
  • Q3 2024: Regulatory investigations into Evans’ conduct intensified, leading to criminal referrals and ongoing proceedings

  1. Criminal referral by the Wisconsin Supreme Court Office of Lawyer Regulation (https://dunsmoorlaw.com/2024/06/11/part-iv-evans-receives-a-criminal-referral-from-the-supreme-court-of-wisconsin/)
  2. His in-house Wisconsin rights have been revoked
  3.

  6. Viking Fehu exposed as a scam (https://dunsmoorlaw.com/2024/10/15/understanding-basic-due-diligence-protecting-yourself-from-ico-scams-like-cal-evans-viking-fehu/)
  7. Not promoted on social media by AIBC for November 2024 and is only moderating one panel (See https://x.com/search?q=%22aibc%22%20%2B%20%22cal%20evans%22&src=typed_query)
  8. Interview removed from a Dubai-based media outlet
  9. One of the “Senior Team” members of Gresham International quit (https://dunsmoorlaw.com/2024/11/04/part-ix-the-unraveling-false-claims-of-cal-evans-further-exposing-the-fraudulent-schemes-of-gresham-internationals-crypto-con-lawyer/)
  10. Ongoing investigations that he is currently aware of include those by the California Bar, Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”), and soon-to-be-announced investigations by other regulatory agencies and governments
  11. Evans has spent thousands to try to remove these articles (https://dunsmoorlaw.com/2024/08/27/understanding-basic-due-diligence-how-cal-evans-is-trying-to-bury-negative-articles-using-quora/)
  12. Sources close to me are telling me the Gresham International “Senior Team” is beginning to turn on one another and people start looking for deals
  13. Quora has removed his 125 AI-generated drivel and banned his account. (https://dunsmoorlaw.com/2024/08/27/understanding-basic-due-diligence-how-cal-evans-is-trying-to-bury-negative-articles-using-quora/)

Where: Gresham International, as a parent company, is located in Wyoming as Gresham International Group LLC, formed on October 31, 2015.
