ATLAS DETECTIVES LEAGUE [23 May '25] : Find the Ringleader? [10 STEEM PRIZE]

in #steem-atlaslast month

With the quick wins that have been coming in it is clear that the Atlas Detectives have successfully made it through their training.

Now it is time to go on a real mission.

There is a gang of international thieves who have been stealing to order from museums, art galleries and stately homes around the world for the past three years.

So far they have evaded even the best police forces.

Knowing we have a great global spread of investigators, the Atlas Detectives have been called in to help.

Our first task is to find the ringleader...

If you can find this person on Steem Atlas you could win 10 STEEM and points to help your promotion on the Atlas Detectives League


Atlas Detectives Mission 007

Surveillance cameras at one of the recent robberies captured this image. From studying the video footage it is believed that this is the ringleader of the gang.

Unfortunately the camera was old and the image is of very poor quality...

Who is he?

Where is he?

Can you track down this man to get us one step nearer to catching the gang?

Find the post on Steem Atlas and find the answers.

There is a prize of 10 STEEM for the first person to post the right answers in a comment below.

[Note : Comments must not be edited or they will be invalid]


There is more intelligence material being gathered from the latest robbery site, so if no one can find the answer another piece of evidence can be released - but with every new clue the prize will reduce by 1 STEEM. 🙂


So start searching Steem Atlas, claim the prize and earn points for the Atlas Detectives League...

This is the League Table so far...

CLUE #2...

We are getting some SigInt coming in now.

Three names have been picked up in chatter that we believe comes from the gang.

Do these names mean anything to you...

  • El Curador
  • Capitán Verde
  • Graham

These might all be members of the gang, and one might be the ringleader.

The code GG1958 keeps cropping up as well 🤔

PRIZE NOW = 8 STEEM

That was quite a challenge!

  • Who is he? A poor old man selling cigars on the street (Probably a perfect disguise for a ringleader)

  • Where is he? Havana, Cuba

Link: https://steematlas.com/@phortun/my-entry-for-people-photography-by-worldcapture-week-40

How I solved it:

The code GG1958 refers to Graham Greene, whose spy novel Our Man in Havana was published (and adapted into a film) in 1958.

That clue led me to search posts related to Havana, Cuba and I found him.

Congratulations @disconnect, well found.

You win 8 STEEM and 8 Detective League points.

You also get 1 bonus point for working out the GG1958 code.


There are still bonus points available for anyone who can decode Clue #1.


It looks like we need to send a couple of Atlas Detectives to Havana to see if they can track down The Old Man in Havana.

I wonder if he is Capitán Verde or El Curador?

Graham Greene: Man in Havana

Code: GG1958

Clue Analysis

“ We have just received new information from the latest crime scene.”

  • This mystery context/crime is consistent with espionage and thriller themes.

“The janitor who first discovered the robbery reports that there was a strange smell in the air”. “He said it reminded him of when his Uncle Arnold visited at Christmas.”

  • Smell: I think it is from a cigar ( specifically Cuban cigars)
  • Uncle Arnold at Christmas: images of spies and secret deals similar to the film Our Man in Havana.

“The thieves also left a message sprayed on the wall…” “We’ll be back.”

  • It sounds like a threat or maybe a promise, something sneaky, like spying or making things up, which is a big part of Our Man in Havana.

Yes the smell was from cigars - 1 Bonus point for that.

But it was a different Arnold...

One last try, Arnold is Graham Greene. 🙂

My search shows the following:

Graham Greene (GG1958) may be both:

  • El Curador — when he is the observer, archivist, and author.

  • Capitán Verde — when he is the active agent, the one in the field, influencing the world.

Yeah, He is Graham Greene from England. I should have researched more and answered it completely.

Last night I was circling around in the right place, but didn't look much deeper. Ahhhh....almost.
Congratulations @disconnect, you've found the guy.

Felicidades no pensé que iba a repetir país 😅

Jajajaja .. I'll think and search! 🧐

Quizás en reino unido? Graham es británico, guionista y escritor... 🧐

I think he's in France.

Será Europa.🧐

Estados Unidos?

Getting closer...

Sudamerica, Venezuela.?

Close, but no cigar!

Tendrás otra pista ? Está difícil

Un poco difícil jajajaj, estaré buscando por cierto ya he escrito post de atlas 🤭

Que de en las mismas jajajaj está difícil

Wow muy buena pista 🧩 buscaré un poco más a fondo, y también comentaré unos post para atlas ya el mío está listo

🎦

🧐 It's difficult! Another clue would be great.

Interesante, jajaja sigo en las mismas.

Omg jajajjaja

Perfecto.🫡

Strange smell in the air? Christmas?
Could it be the smell of Christmas trees? ....... This is more than a clue, it's a riddle.
The Netherlands might be a safer alternative to finding the criminal grandfather.
I'm still searching 🧐

Another thrilling task. I'm trying to join it too, but it puzzles me. It leaves me scratching my head.

Interesante!

Steem Atlas is always bringing fun and engagement means. It is making the real detectives 😉. Let's who spot this person first from Steem Atlas.

Is it true what is said? Are you a farmer? Don't you believe it's wise to show the opposite? Or is it one club against the rest?

I want you to know that I intend to write about it, since farmers are a fact and the Dutch saying says: Wie zwijgt, stemt toe and no smoke without a fire.

If there's nothing to hide, you might even get more famous? What do you think?

Here is an old saying: Dogs' job is to bark, let them bark and you just pass by in silence.

So I don't care what the haters say. Btw I have never seen you who are you? Can I see you?

Yes you did, you asked me to support your spud. Btw since you applied what do you think about the proposal?

Actually I am not an overthinker. I will respect the decision of the competent authorities as I or you cannot decide instead of wasting time in useless discussions.

It sounds as if you have mighty friends. Innocent people have been accused of the worsr and be harrashed and poweed down without any reason.
I wish you the best and above all wisdom. I assume you will never stand up for falsely accused people since you are not an overthinker. Or is the luxury of what we call a "well made up bed"?

A creative day
🍀

Creo que sería buena idea una pista.

Wow mañana empiezo a buscar
