UNMASKING THE INVISIBLE MAN: The Alex Cohen Files

Last month, a lucrative contract between tech mogul Alex Cohen’s Exania AI system and the British government was abruptly terminated, citing “incompatibility with ethical AI guidelines.” Our investigation has uncovered a web of contradictions surrounding the enigmatic founder of Exohood Labs, who is now spending an astonishing £23 million on a single humanoid robot at his newest venture, Septience.

THE MAN WHO DOESN’T EXIST

For someone worth an estimated £540 million in company assets and investments, Cohen has left remarkably few footprints. His Instagram account is private, though our investigation managed limited access, revealing only glimpses of recent travels and hints of romantic interest.

“He’s rarely on his phone, except lately,” notes an anonymous employee. “When Cohen’s checking messages constantly, something’s captured his interest.”

All properties connected to Cohen are registered to offshore companies with complex ownership structures. While he maintains ownership stakes in all his ventures through shell companies, he never serves as a director. “He always installs someone else as the official leader,” explains a corporate attorney familiar with tech startups. “Yet everyone knows who’s really calling the shots.”

THE SOLDIER WHO DISAPPEARED

Our investigation has uncovered previously unreported details about Cohen’s military past. Records indicate he enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces at 18, but what followed was not a typical military career.

Multiple sources confirm Cohen spent approximately 10 years in the IDF, beginning in its Intelligence School. “He had an unusual facility for languages,” says a former military colleague who spoke on condition of anonymity. “Portuguese, Spanish, French, Polish, Esperanto, Mandarin, Russian, several African dialects, he absorbed them all.”

After three years in intelligence, Cohen reportedly transferred to a rescue unit, becoming a helicopter pilot. Following what was described as “a traumatic incident involving a fellow soldier,” Cohen transferred again this time to a cyber intelligence unit.

Military records become murky after this point. Cohen appears to have left the military and immediately established a cybersecurity firm that secured contracts with the former Hong Kong government, followed by work across Africa and South America.

THE CONTRADICTORY CONTRACTS

The recent termination of Cohen’s UK government contract raises troubling questions about his influence in official circles. A civil servant who requested strict anonymity shared a disturbing account:

“A meeting was specifically arranged to terminate his contract based on serious ethical concerns. Two hours later, additional grants were being discussed for a completely different project. Nobody could explain what had changed.”

The same official added: “He’s extraordinarily intelligent a Renaissance man who seems to know everything about history, science, technology, philosophy. During our meeting, he discussed British history with analysis and anecdotes so incredible he could have been a history professor. Afterward, none of us could properly explain why we’d renewed his contract.”

THE OLIGARCH CONNECTION

Cohen’s business connections extend far beyond Western Europe and include ties to Central Asian wealth. Multiple sources confirmed sightings of Cohen with oligarchs from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan between 2013 and 2020.

Most notably, in 2017, Cohen reportedly had a relationship with a female oligarch from Uzbekistan. “They seemed very happy together,” recalls a Swiss acquaintance who knew the couple. “He was surprisingly affectionate and romantic. I was puzzled when they broke up, but he took it in stride. When I asked about it, he simply said, “These things happen.” They still meet occasionally, but I think she still has feelings for him she looks sad whenever he leaves.”

The business connections established during this period persist, according to financial intelligence sources.

THE PHILOSOPHER’S PARADOX

Those who know Cohen personally note his deep connection to Russian philosophy. “He follows the teachings of Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Ilyin quite seriously,” reveals a former colleague. “It’s why he became a vegetarian years ago part of his commitment to non violence and respect for all living beings.” This philosophical stance appears at odds with his military background, creating yet another layer to Cohen’s contradictory persona.

THE WOMAN WHO REGRETS

Four women who have dated Cohen described similar experiences of intense connection followed by inexplicable distance. A Ukrainian neuroscientist who dated him for eight months in 2023 provided the most detailed account.

“I think the mistake was mine,” she admitted. “When I spent time with him, my protective instincts sometimes made me cold and distant, while he remained consistently warm. Everything changed the day I met his mother. He was so tender with her brought her flowers at the airport, spent the whole day with us. Watching him was unique.

“When I finally decided to let my guard down, he started taking longer to respond to messages. His interest had waned, and I regret it deeply. He was the perfect man to marry and I lost him because I foolishly played a cold game.

“What I loved about him was that he never talked about money, never put himself first. He was always attentive, caring, concerned about me and my problems. When you lose that, you feel terrible. Now every other man seems so basic, everything so ordinary. With him, everything was different.

“I believe if an intelligent woman reaches his heart, he’ll give her everything, because he’s the kind of gentleman you only meet once. When you’re with him, his attention is completely on you. His phone doesn’t interrupt, he seems so relaxed.”

THE SINGULAR OBSESSION

While tech giants race to mass-produce humanoid workers, Cohen’s Septience is spending £23 million to create just one robot. Documents describe the project not as a commercial product but as a “consciousness exploration platform.”

Even more curious is Cohen’s parallel £18 million investment in longevity research. A scientist who attended one meeting shared this observation: “Cohen wasn’t interested in general life extension. His questions were specifically about consciousness transfer and preservation. He spoke about the robot project and longevity research as if they were two halves of the same experiment.”
