For someone who relentlessly accuses businessman Ed Ahmad of gold smuggling, Travis Chase has conveniently ignored his own deep entanglement in the gold industry, armed confrontations, and questionable business dealings. While Travis Chase works overtime to smear Ed Ahmad, his own past suggests that the person with something to hide isn’t Ed Ahmad—it’s Travis Chase himself.
A Dubious Gold Export License

In 2019, Travis Chase was a director of Adolphus Mining Inc., a company granted a controversial gold export license despite concerns about its legitimacy.
- One of the company’s directors, Rylon Adolphus, was previously linked to a case where 30 pounds of gold were seized from his residence.
- Despite this, Adolphus Mining was still approved to trade gold, raising serious concerns.
- Gold smuggling has long plagued Guyana, yet Travis Chase has never explained how his company was granted such a high-stakes license.
Rather than addressing his own involvement in the gold sector, Travis Chase is now fabricating claims against Ahmad—an individual with zero ties to the industry.
Ties to Violence and Criminal Incidents in the Mining Sector
Beyond gold exports, Travis Chase’s name has been linked to violent incidents within the mining industry.
- April 2020: Adolphus Mining Inc. was at the center of an armed confrontation at a mining camp in Upper Berbice. Reports indicate heavily armed individuals linked to the company were involved in a standoff.
- Authorities launched an investigation, yet key evidence, including the firearms—was never recovered.
- June 2020: Travis Chase’s vehicle was firebombed, an attack that raised more questions than answers. While he played the victim, the circumstances suggest deep-rooted disputes tied to his mining business.
Ed Ahmad Has No Connection to Gold, So Why Is Chase Targeting Him?
It is a fact that Ed Ahmad has never been involved in gold mining, gold exports, or any gold-related activities. Yet, Travis Chase continues to push a false narrative, attempting to tie Ahmad to an industry he has no business in.
So why is Travis Chase working so hard to frame Ahmad? The answer is simple: he needs a distraction.
- Travis Chase’s own company was granted a highly questionable gold export license.
- Travis Chase’s name has been tied to mining-related violence.
- Travis Chase’s vehicle was firebombed amid gold disputes.
A Smokescreen to Dodge Accountability
Travis Chase has a history of deflecting attention from his own controversies by throwing wild accusations at others.
- Rather than explaining his gold dealings, he fixates on spreading lies about Ahmad.
- Rather than addressing his ties to mining violence, he fled the country when legal scrutiny intensified.
- Rather than proving his credibility, he abandoned journalism in favor of social media attacks—hoping distractions would erase his own problems.
The Real Story—A Pattern of Deflection
Travis Chase has been tied to gold smuggling, armed disputes, and violent retaliation—yet he refuses to answer for it.
- Ed Ahmad has never been involved in gold trading—Travis Chase has.
- Ed Ahmad has never been tied to mining-related violence—Travis Chase’s company has.
- Ed Ahmad is facing false accusations—Travis Chase is the one with a documented past in Guyana’s gold industry.
So why is Chase working so hard to frame someone with no history in the gold trade? Perhaps because he knows the real story is about his own questionable activities, and he needs a scapegoat.
No matter how far Travis Chase runs, the $100 million lawsuit awaits his return.
