Mohamed Fouad Corruption Archive — ACPC
By Fouad_Archive, history, 5 years ago, In English

Finding out that a director of a small local contest is corrupt is one thing, but watching a corrupt man succeeding in being one of the high board committee of the ICPC (The most prestigious programming competition in the world) is on the other hand very alerting, and should not be tolerated!

You guessed it, I am talking about the infamous Mohamed Fouad, the current ICPC Director of Logistical Operations and the ACPC director. You can find him here in people of ICPC page in the official ICPC website.

Mohamed fouad has been the director of the ACPC for 8 years now, and with every ACPC contest, many blogs are written complaining about the corruption there. So, I decided to write this blog to archive all of these complaints.

FUNDING CAMPAIGNS

With the ridiculous amounts of money requested by Mohamed Fouad, some students were left with no choice but to set up funding campaigns to be able to participate, here are some of them

    His attempts to pump up the crowd with "Are you ready?" at the ICPC closing ceremony this year were completely out of topic. To be honest there was quite a lot of unnecessary clownery at this closing ceremony even without his help.

      This happens every year on all ICPC ceremonies, IIRC. In 2013 (or 2014?) Bill Poucher tried to make the crowd learn how to say "Welcome" in Russian by mispronouncing it as "Dobro Pozhalovich" instead of "Dobro Pozhalovat".
