    I strongly considered it, but then after 4 hours of sucking my thumb and clinging to my blankie, I think I will be OK.

    I think Igor thought I made up the story about Ruja's yacht. Here's the link to the story:

With very few exceptions, most people who get sucked this far into defending a SCAM disappear in embarrassment once reality sinks in.

    A smaller percentage "pull a Ken Labine" and slowly transition from speaking with authority and enthusiasm on the dying SCAM to ramping up support for the next one.

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    Well, OneCoin announced their big launch of Phase I. Funny, OneCoin is no where to be found in this launch. Instead the company name is Golden Gate Investments, LLC. I am sure Igor is thrilled that he banned me before this announcement came out and all the red flags contained in their FAQ and Terms and Conditions. He would have had a hard time spinning the facts from the TAC and FAQ's. Basically they admitted that there is no blockchain, and they have not been mining coins.

    This gem really has to have them scared crapless this is going to die before the end of the year and I quote:


    "The Participant understands that the OFCs to be sold during the GGI offering are merely cryptographic units, that enable the usage of and interactions with services enabled, if successfully completed and deployed.[I] Such OFCs are not redeemable, associated with any kind of financial return or backed by any underlying asset or repurchase commitment and not necessarily have market price;"

    In other words, just more Ponzi points with zero underlying value of any kind. So much for Ruja claiming that the price of OneCoin is 15.85 Euro. No wonder that Pierre exited stage left in such a hurry.

    Seems that Igor had a change of heart and unbanned me. To be honest I was totally surprised by his doing this. I do appreciate his unbanning me. Gotta love our love-hate relationship.

    Great post by Tim on BMLM.

    @oWrongo – RE: “If it ever does perform…”
    The ENTIRE “market value” of ALL 1,204 cryptocurrencies listed on coinmarketcap.com totals $168 Billion.

    OneCULT members have already begun counting down the 354 days until every one of them can sell their collective 54,425,450,000,000 Ponzi coins (which Dr. ScRud’ja had told you are €15.95 each).

    Ever heard the term “SELL WALL?”

    Putting aside the fact that Onecoin price has never gone down; and that Ruja has a full year to drive it up to €35, €50, €100, whatever…. Let’s just assume this SELL WALL is based on today’s €15.95 (which would make the CULT followers even more anxious to sell than they already are)!

    I believe that’s €868,085,927,500.00, which in U.S. Dollars is: $1,026,459,524,113.10 !!!
    A Sell Wall of over a trillion dollars?

    Ummm. Well, where ya gonna find the other $835 billion dollars after you liquidate bitcoin total cap, followed by the test of the remaining 1,203 currencies?

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    I wonder what it is with ponzi fraudsters that make them want to start singing as their ponzi scheme slowly disappears down the toilet.

    First we had the unforgettable Traffic Monsoon song as introduced by the equally unforgettable Silly Sunil Patel.



    Now we have the OneCoin song



    Somehow I don't think this is gonna save OneCoin, even if they could get Justin Beiber to record it.

    .
    Here is the text of the nBox article that served as the basis of BehindMLM's story translated by Google:

    Millionaire Rouga Ignatova arrested in Germany?


    According to information from NBOX.BG, the barrage was detained at the airport in Munich

    Heavy millionaire Ruzha Ignatova, cited by many as the richest Bulgarian woman, was detained a week ago in Germany, sources from NBOX.BG said.

    The arrest took place at the airport in Munich after a signal against Ignatova by a large German bank.

    According to our sources, the native baroque was accused by the bank of financial manipulations, which have penalized the institution with over 300 million euros.

    Who is Rouga Ignatova?

    According to Wikipedia, Ruzha Ignatova is a Bulgarian entrepreneur, creator of the OneCoin crypto- tape, OneLife Network and oneWorld Foundation (One World Foundation).

    She was born in Bulgaria but at the age of 10 she and her family went to Germany. Before returning to her home country and starting a career and business, Ignatova graduated from Economics at the University of Constance and defended a Doctoral Degree in Law at Oxford.

    At the beginning of her career, Ruzha Ignatova is a consultant to the international company " McKinsey & Company ", where she works with a number of international banks and financial institutions.

    In 2015, he presents the concept of the future of global payments through cryptolights of the Fourth EU-Southeast Europe Summit organized by The Economist magazine. Besides Rouga Ignatova, other speakers of the event are Bulgaria's Ex-President Rosen Plevneliev and former Economy Minister Bozhidar Lukarsky.

    In Sofia has long been legends about Ignatova. Some call her a major international affair, and others, a financial genius.

    Recently, the millionaire bought the cult restaurant of Crimea in the center of the capital, and there is a repair underway to transform it into a private home for the bar.

    Checking NBOX.BG on the international online trading platform for FOREX and CryptoLive + PLUS 500 shows that there is no deal with Ignatova OneCoin's cryptoLogo.

    According to NBOX.BG sources from the Bulgarian services, Ruzha Ignatova has long been subject to surveillance by our counter-attacks.

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    Sorry not buying this story. There is no reason for Ruja to be in Germany. She has been hiding out on her yacht in Burgas where she is safe and knows she will not be arrested. We believe she is being protected by the Bulgarian government as far as we can tell. If she was going to be arrested in Germany, it would have been done by the court where she pled guilty to 23 counts of fraud for lying under oath about her income, job and residence when she was sentenced.

    Also raising suspicion about this arrest is in one part they say Ruja Ignatova and at the end they say Ruzha ignatova.

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    Finally we got the answer if Ruja was arrested or not and sits in jail. The Bielefeld Public Prosecutor’s Office issued this statement to an inquiry about her arrest, and I quote:

    "As far as the information from your letter you have requested today … whether Dr. Ruja Ignatova was arrested at the instigation of Bielefeld prosecutors, I inform you that an arrest warrant (in Bielefeld) against (Ignatova) does not exist."

    Additionally, the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office, in response as to whether Ignatova was arrested at Munich airport as reported, A Senior Attorney from the Public Prosecutor’s Office replied, and again I quote:

    "The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Much has not carried out a preliminary investigation into Ruja Ignatova. We can not confirm an alleged arrest at Munich Airport and detention in Stadelheim prison."


    Capital Weekly reached out to North Bavaria police, who retain jurisdiction over Munich Airport. In response to whether Ignatova was arrested at the airport, General Commissioner Jurgen Weigert replied, and I quote;


    "Regarding your request I can tell you the following: After consultation with the airport police, there are no findings regarding an arrest at Munich airport. In the jurisdiction of the police department of Upper Bavaria North, no investigations are currently being conducted against (Ruja Ignatova)."

    Someone made this story up and got it printed. Now the questions are who did it, why, and who paid for it? Was this story purposely done by someone in OneCoin to try to discredit "haters" believing they would pounce on this story and report it as true?

    If they thought the "haters" would run with it as true have to be truly disappointed that it didn't happen, if indeed it was done by someone in OneCoin. Hopefully whoever did it will be uncovered and these questions answered.

    Arrested or not, it doesn't change the fact that OneCoin is a huge Ponzi scheme.

    The thieves know it is and are happy to take the money and the idiots, well that's why they are idiots because no matter how much proof you show them, they don't listen.

    I emailed Eagle One as my friend had sent me an update on OneCoin as we had agreed not to discuss until it goes public, but in the message, OneCoin had made claims about certain dates and a couple of those have passed and yet no update from my friend, probably because they have been delayed so Ruja can extract more money from the gullible.

    Ruh Roh, after all the hype of the "BIG" First Phase ICO on Oct 25, now comes this when accessing the website and I quote:

    "The information phase of the Coin Offering is about to end. SILO Capital Group was appointed to manage the operations related to the Coin Offering from Q4 2017. The involvement of Golden Gate Investments will be limited, supervising the communication activities of the Coin Offering.

    The registration for the Coin Offering will be open latest in Q1 2018. The structure of the Coin Offering and the Token Model will be described in the White Paper, published in Q1 2018."


    Can hardly wait to hear the "official" reason given for this new delay. It will be creative writing at its best, which in Ponzi speak means it will be BS stacked as high as they can without it falling over.

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    Ed Ludbrook, who was hired as the OneCoin CLO made a lot of presentations defending OneCoin against all of us haters, grew the membership from 600,000 to over 2.5 Million members quietly left the company after a little more than a year. On his LinkedIn Profile page he posted that he, and I quote:

    "I left very disappointed with the approach of the company. I was misled by the CEO and have deep concerns over the company."

    Also what was interesting is that Ed changed his title from CLO of OneCoin to just Consultant to OneCoin. Of course Igor said that ED was just upset and then angry that he was "Kicked Out of OneCoin," thus why he said this on his LinkedIn Profile.

    And Ruja is still hiding on her yacht with no-one at the helm of OneLife or OneCoin.

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    GOOD NEWS

    Confirmation of Ruja Ignatova’s and Mary Courant arrest yet to surface,

    As I write this, official confirmation of Ruja Ignatova’s arrest has yet to surface.

    Reports out of Germany are conflicting, with authorities yet to issue an official statement.

    A few media publications have syndicated the initial Nbox article, but only the Gerlach Report and MLM Worldwide have published new information.

    According to the Gerlach Report Ignatova was arrested in relation to an ongoing fraud investigation in Bielefeld.

    Gerlach report claim Ignatova is being held in a “transport cell” at Stadelheim prison in Munich.

    Ted Nuyten, who is believed to have received large sums of money from OneCoin and its affiliates in exchange for favorable coverage on BusinessForHome, was quick to dismiss Ignatova’s arrest as “fake news”.

    In a Facebook post published the day after news of Ignatova’s arrest broke, Nuyten claimed his unnamed ‘sources (had) confirmed the news is NOT true.‘

    Offering up a bit more information is a November 6th article from MLM Worldwide, who bill themselves as a direct selling online magazine.

    In the article MLM Worldwide claim to have contacted the German law firm Schulenberg & Schenk.

    Shortly after Germany’s top financial regulator Bafin announced an investigation into OneCoin in mid 2016, Schulenberg & Schenk were hired to publish a legal opinion on the company.

    Not surprisingly, Schulenberg & Schenk’s legal opinion completely ignored the OneCoin’s Ponzi business model and claimed the company was legal in Germany.

    OneCoin also engaged Schulenberg & Schenk were also used by OneCoin to go after rival Ponzi scheme, SwissCoin.

    Despite Schulenberg & Schenk’s one-paragraph legal opinion stating the company was legal, earlier this year in April BaFin banned promotion and operation of OneCoin across Germany.

    After news of Ignatova’s arrest broke, Stephan Schulenberg purportedly told MLM Worldwide they’d phoned Stadelheim prison and

    can confirm that our client Dr. med. Ignatova was not detained there.

    A telephone conversation with the public prosecutor’s office in Bielefeld also revealed that there is nothing there about an arrest and no arrest warrant (has been issued).

    If Ignatova wasn’t arrested, why Schulenberg & Schenk didn’t just reach out to her directly is unclear.

    Tim Curry separately reached out to German authorities on Monday and they wouldn’t confirm or deny Ignatova’s arrest.

    The Gerlach Report meanwhile are insisting Ignatova’s arrest is not “fake news”.

    The publication asks, “If Ruja Ignatova is indeed free, why does not she show herself?”

    The fact is that the events at the airport in Munich have been confirmed by several sources.

    The detention in the women’s detention center was also confirmed by The Gerlach Report.

    It is also true that the investigating authorities have to date issued “no official press release”.

    The Gerlach Report has learned this is due to “determination-technical reasons”.

    Apparently, Dr. Ruja Ignatova – in an attempt to reduce her own expected punishment – (is delivering information on) the national (OneCoin) heads.

    She is said to have already pointed out at first interrogations that “she has done everything to prohibit the fraudulent activities and actions of sales”.

    Here, the “service instructions” of the fraud network were cited.

    Whether this argument will work remains questionable.

    Earlier today Jan Faber, Editor-in-Chief at the Gerlach Report, asserted the credibility of the publication’s reporting;

    We stick to our story. Our sources are reliable. German news outlets will report once more information will be released.

    Being a German story, this has broken on The Gerlach’s Report’s home turf. If this turns out to be another Macau debacle, maybe it’s time to reevaluate the publication’s publishing policy?

    That said The Gerlach Report didn’t initially break news of Ignatova’s arrest, that was the Bulgarian publication Nbox.

    Since then though the Gerlach Report have very much run with the story though and made it their own.

    Personally, unlike Ted Nuyten, I’m skeptical but at this point not ready to dismiss either side. BehindMLM is just reporting what’s out there as it breaks.

    Pending further information coming to light, I myself haven’t insisted Ignatova has or hasn’t been arrested.

    The things that do strike me as strange though are:

    Ignatova failing to issue a statement or recording despite news of her arrest breaking almost four days ago
    both Schulenberg & Schenk and The Gerlach Report claiming access to what would be an ongoing operation pending charges filed
    unnamed sources cited by Nbox, Ted Nuyten, The Gerlach Report and MLM Worldwide
    I also haven’t ruled out the possibility that Pierre Arens may be cooperating with authorities following his abrupt departure last month, although that’s somewhat of a tangent.

    Stay tuned…

    It's actually been well over two weeks. The silence is very strange, but this whole scam has been an odd one.

    As I write this, official confirmation of Ruja Ignatova’s arrest has yet to surface.

    Reports out of Germany are conflicting, with authorities yet to issue an official statement.

    A few media publications have syndicated the initial Nbox article, but only the Gerlach Report and MLM Worldwide have published new information.

    According to the Gerlach Report Ignatova was arrested in relation to an ongoing fraud investigation in Bielefeld.

    Gerlach report claim Ignatova is being held in a “transport cell” at Stadelheim prison in Munich.

    Ted Nuyten, who is believed to have received large sums of money from OneCoin and its affiliates in exchange for favorable coverage on BusinessForHome, was quick to dismiss Ignatova’s arrest as “fake news”.

    In a Facebook post published the day after news of Ignatova’s arrest broke, Nuyten claimed his unnamed ‘sources (had) confirmed the news is NOT true.‘

    Offering up a bit more information is a November 6th article from MLM Worldwide, who bill themselves as a direct selling online magazine.

    In the article MLM Worldwide claim to have contacted the German law firm Schulenberg & Schenk.

    Shortly after Germany’s top financial regulator Bafin announced an investigation into OneCoin in mid 2016, Schulenberg & Schenk were hired to publish a legal opinion on the company.

    Not surprisingly, Schulenberg & Schenk’s legal opinion completely ignored the OneCoin’s Ponzi business model and claimed the company was legal in Germany.

    OneCoin also engaged Schulenberg & Schenk were also used by OneCoin to go after rival Ponzi scheme, SwissCoin.

    Despite Schulenberg & Schenk’s one-paragraph legal opinion stating the company was legal, earlier this year in April BaFin banned promotion and operation of OneCoin across Germany.

    After news of Ignatova’s arrest broke, Stephan Schulenberg purportedly told MLM Worldwide they’d phoned Stadelheim prison and

    can confirm that our client Dr. med. Ignatova was not detained there.

    A telephone conversation with the public prosecutor’s office in Bielefeld also revealed that there is nothing there about an arrest and no arrest warrant (has been issued).

    If Ignatova wasn’t arrested, why Schulenberg & Schenk didn’t just reach out to her directly is unclear.

    Tim Curry separately reached out to German authorities on Monday and they wouldn’t confirm or deny Ignatova’s arrest.

    The Gerlach Report meanwhile are insisting Ignatova’s arrest is not “fake news”.

    The publication asks, “If Ruja Ignatova is indeed free, why does not she show herself?”

    The fact is that the events at the airport in Munich have been confirmed by several sources.

    The detention in the women’s detention center was also confirmed by The Gerlach Report.

    It is also true that the investigating authorities have to date issued “no official press release”.

    The Gerlach Report has learned this is due to “determination-technical reasons”.

    Apparently, Dr. Ruja Ignatova – in an attempt to reduce her own expected punishment – (is delivering information on) the national (OneCoin) heads.

    She is said to have already pointed out at first interrogations that “she has done everything to prohibit the fraudulent activities and actions of sales”.

    Here, the “service instructions” of the fraud network were cited.

    Whether this argument will work remains questionable.

    Earlier today Jan Faber, Editor-in-Chief at the Gerlach Report, asserted the credibility of the publication’s reporting;

    We stick to our story. Our sources are reliable. German news outlets will report once more information will be released.

    Being a German story, this has broken on The Gerlach’s Report’s home turf. If this turns out to be another Macau debacle, maybe it’s time to reevaluate the publication’s publishing policy?

    That said The Gerlach Report didn’t initially break news of Ignatova’s arrest, that was the Bulgarian publication Nbox.

    Since then though the Gerlach Report have very much run with the story though and made it their own.

    Personally, unlike Ted Nuyten, I’m skeptical but at this point not ready to dismiss either side. BehindMLM is just reporting what’s out there as it breaks.

    Pending further information coming to light, I myself haven’t insisted Ignatova has or hasn’t been arrested.

    The things that do strike me as strange though are:

    Ignatova failing to issue a statement or recording despite news of her arrest breaking almost four days ago
    both Schulenberg & Schenk and The Gerlach Report claiming access to what would be an ongoing operation pending charges filed
    unnamed sources cited by Nbox, Ted Nuyten, The Gerlach Report and MLM Worldwide
    I also haven’t ruled out the possibility that Pierre Arens may be cooperating with authorities following his abrupt departure last month, although that’s somewhat of a tangent.

    Stay tuned…
    Sorry, but this story has been totally debunked. While it would have been great news if it were true, it is not. There was no arrest and it has been confirmed by all the legal entities that were said to be involved in this arrest. See my post #414 above.

    Re: onecoin.eu ponzi scam

    And the hits for OneCoin just keep on coming. Belgium TV did a program on OneCoin called “Investigation On A Scam That Is In No Way Virtual” tonight, but so far no link to the show. I am hoping that there will be one soon as it will be fun to watch, provided of course it can be translated into English.

    I can't wait for Igor to post his take on the show, but I already know what he will say. It will be along the lines of the crypto-currency crowd, Bitcoin people, the banks and all of us haters lied to the reporter paying for them to air this program, and is not credible and nothing more than a hit piece full of all lies.

    South Australias' Adelaide Now reported back in October that OneCoin was attempting to recruit in Australia:
