Compromising evidence

In 2018, the Anhor.Uz portal published an exposé about Maksumov with the headline “The fraudster wanted to legalize himself in Uzbekistan through investments.” The most important excerpts from the exposé article:

• Last week, a number of media outlets published a report about Ulugbek Maksumov, a native of the Fergana region (the city of Margilan), who became a millionaire in Dubai and plans to build a plant for the production of armored vehicles in his homeland.
• The Uzmetronom.com website clarified: "In fact, he is a fraudster, convicted by the Fergana City Court in 2007. At that time, fearing to be arrested on other charges, he fled to Dubai. In the UAE, having gained the trust of wealthy people from the former USSR, he simply "cheated" them out of money." ... The production of armored vehicles is also the result of fraud. At one time, people from Russia founded the INKAS company in Canada to produce armored vehicles. Having undertaken the obligation to present their products at the IDEX arms exhibition in the UAE, after the exhibition U. Maksumov, having forged documents, hired cheap labor from India and began to make homemade copies of armored vehicles on the spot. The INKAS head office in Canada is ready to confirm information about the fraudulent scheme used by a person from the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan at any time.
• Dubai’s geographic location has contributed to the fact that the home-made armored vehicles have found demand among ISIS terrorists and other similar groups operating in Syria and Iraq. Ulugbek Maksumov himself indirectly confirms this, saying that American and Russian manufacturers of such equipment require a whole package of documents from a potential buyer, while he only needs one. [1]

Self-promotion

In 2018, an advertising article about Maksumov was posted by PR people hired by him with the title "Maksumiov, Ulugbekkhon Yusupkhonovich" in Wikipedia. Soon after its creation, the advertisement was proposed for removal, and a discussion took place that lasted almost a year:

• The encyclopedic significance of the person is questionable. In my opinion, it could have been quickly deleted at the time. The author is one of the accounts of a large "custom-made factory", other contributions should be checked. 217.119.26.228 05:54, September 5, 2019 (UTC)
• The importance of the person in the businesses: "Inkas Vehicles LLC", "Inkas Group" and "Inkas Group DMCC". Delete --AndreiK (talk) 10:21, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
• Summary. Significance for VP:BIZ is not shown. A typical advertising order. — Venzz (talk) 08:03, 10 July 2020 (UTC) [2]

Maksumov did not accept the deletion and 5 months after the deletion it was recreated by a one-day PR account, but was quickly deleted, and Maksimov was blacklisted by Wikipedia. The article itself migrated to the cyclowiki.org wiki portal, where it remained virtually untouched as an advertisement.
