TRUE TALE MULTI-BILLION $€¥ “CRYPTO” SCAM
(and some interesting background story):
In February 2019 myself,
@JenMcAdamUK ,
@CryptoXpose (Anon), and Björn Bjerke (
@MrBitcoinNorway) were contacted by BBC Producer
@GeorgiaJCatt and Journalist/Best Selling Tech Author,
@JamieJBartlett regarding our mutual experience in combatting a now infamous, $4.6B pseudo-cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme: Onecoin.
The 4 of us had already been working closely together for several months exposing many of the inner workings of the massive fraud scheme, along with a handful of other international scam busters like
@petterij , Ari Widell (“Scam Detector” blog), and even several *Anonymous Collective Ops assisted scraping data and unveiling hidden inside secrets (*this was before the decentralized hacker group generally became associated with woke pussies). Additionally, a couple online resource groups like MuroBBS (Finland), Flashback Forum (Sweden), and the popular English language website, BehindMLM, as well as several more nyms & Anons did what they did best.
These individuals and groups mostly traded posts online, in forums and chat circles, via WhatsApp & Signal, etc. But, most of the heavy battle, slander, blocking, and death threats occurred most regularly on the primary platform which scammers used unobstructed, uninhibited and unabashed on the proverbial “Red Carpet” of social media which had been laid out for them: Facebook.
Through working directly with Jamie and Georgia over the next 8 months, providing contacts, first-hand accounts, and well sourced facts/evidence, a radical, multi-faceted, and truly shocking, true story was about to be very widely spread!!
We’d also later meet and befriend @DanielLeinhardt and a number ofmore deeply pedigreed scam busters, as well as learning of many scores of other victims of the Onecoin fraud.
Whereas our original, loosely knit and international collective of Mötley pranksters and bear pokers had managed to make SOME small headway in intermingling Ruja Ignatova’s mastermind manipulation plot into mainstream media attention - with a few “splashes” in The Atlantic, The Times (UK), Der Spiegel (Germany), etc., Onecoin and its nefarious operatives mostly flew under the radar. Having avoided any majorly crippling exposure and dealing only with scant interference, globally, by a tiny few globally scattered Law Enforcement encounters, prohibitions or prosecutions, Onecoin continues to grow exponentially nearly up to that time.
…That was until “The Missing CryptoQueen” Podcast Series was unleashed!
The Series became the #1 Podcast on Apple iTunes (UK), even surpassing The Joe Rogan Experience in monthly popularity and audience, at one point ‼️
