Five years ago, today, the infosec community found itself wondering about Robert Edward Grant's Quasi-primes, and an ever expanding portfolio of grifts by his company, Crown Sterling. These included

* TIME AI, a completely bonkers, five-dimensional vaporware cipher with time-traveling keys,

* Black Hat 2019 crank presentation,

* Bogus RSA break claims, and later,

* Cryptographic protocol broken in just about all aspects,

* Cryptocurrency grifts, and as the newest addition,

* A browser-based messaging app.

This wiki-article documents and debunks pretty much all of it, in ridiculous detail and with more than 200 references.
