any updates on GoldFX?
Nope but that is a small sum compared to OneCoin. As those responsible for Onecoin are still walking around free in Cambodia I would not expect anything to happen in this case as well. At some point restaurants looked good to launder their money. Now with the pandemic their earnings must stand out like a sore thumb. Sitting on your cash makes you a nice target in a 3rd world country....
I still see these Forex and gold scams popup in Facebook. So being politically correct is more important for FB and Twitter than shutting down these pyramid schemes.

Gold and furex scams, interesting.
How do they work then?

Depending on the scale:
Pay some famous people (business or government/actors) a good deal of money to promote your scheme/website and/or host events in posh hotels.
Promise high returns, take deposits, pay return for x months, gain trust and request bigger deposits, stop payouts, run.....
Rinse and repeat in another country / as another brand. Easy money and risk free if you are at the top and don't have to reveal your identity. The monkeys plasterd all over PR media and talking on stage will have a harder time once the scam is revealed.

That is quite a detailed article in the Asiatimes... It is a wonder they dared to publish it, with all the name-dropping. The sad thing is how sycophantic the class just below the untouchable mean cream is... How pathetic, that they threaten people merely for asking questions or trying to find out what happened to their monies...
....I guess you can look at it two ways: one should never trust grandiose promises, and those who do may deserve to suffer... Or, it is right to go after the Malaysian and other two local scammers, who have absconded and run -- if that is even true. Maybe those guys are just the really rich people's scapegoats?
The article says that even lawyers are reluctant to take up the case in defense of the victims. Who ever heard of such a country of full of weasels, cowards and bullies?

At times it seems the financial world can be an infinite minefield.
Pyramid schemes are the go to scam for many generations of grifters already.
They come in all manner of packaging but at their core is theft.
The scammers steal your hard earned and inheritances by simply duping you into giving them the dosh.
Therein lies the difficulty of prosecuting the criminals.
Youve actually donated your ringgits, dollars and bahts to runners.

Sorry, "two Singaporeans and one Malaysian..." I guess it is the locals filing the police complaint... I wonder if the three foreign absconders are real?Bong Burgundy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 7:23 amSaid article: https://asiatimes.com/2021/04/cambodian ... -20m-went/Orichá wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 7:03 pmThat is quite a detailed article in the Asiatimes...
