Regardless of being needed by US authorities, Lado Okhotnikov continues to run his MetaForce Ponzi scheme from Georgia.
The authentic MetaForce was a clone of Okhotnikov’s Forsage Ponzi schemes. MetaForce V1 lasted a couple of months earlier than collapsing.
MetaForce’s reboot (technically the seventh Forsage launch), features a new token and metaverse and NFT grifts.
After flogging MetaForce NFTs to what’s left of his Forsage following, on Might twenty second Okhotnikov introduced he was dropping them for a brand new model.
And within the course of, blocking a considerable variety of buyers from transferring their NFTs over.
Okhotnikov’s newest ruse to restrict withdrawals sees him asserting MetaForce buyers “cheated” the Ponzi scheme.
This was purportedly carried out by MetaForce buyers shopping for “artificially cheated” NFTs with “twisted” SFC tokens.
We wrote a program and recognized apparent circumstances of dishonest. All of them are blacklisted, their NFTs can’t be transfered [sic] for the brand new model.
When attempting emigrate, this customers will see a pop-up window with the message that “transferring the NFT will not be attainable.”
The obvious challenge right here is that is early on. The one celebration promoting NFTs was MetaForce itself.
Okhotnikov claims that by blocking MetaForce buyers from cashing out their NFTs, “equity has been restore(d)”.
Every week in a while Might twenty ninth, Okhotnikov introduced “new drastic measures” to additional restrict withdrawals.
Buddies, we urgently have to take drastic measures to guard the Royalty NFT program.
The menace was created by scammers who artificialy [sic] cheated an enormous variety of SFCs and NFTs.
We have now been fixing this downside for a very long time by writing scripts and calculating cheated accounts and NFTs, in addition to doubtful ones (performing suspicious actions).
However after we started to examine the ultimate outcomes, the primary downside was that normally NFTs had been very combined up.
As a result of the members purchased the NFTs that had been cheated, merged with their very own, and so forth. And most of them had been combined.
Okhotnikov’s resolution was to implement “NFT repute” – which is fancy time period for charging MetaForce associates extra charges.
Every NFT will probably be assigned an extra kind of Power – Repute.
If in case you have a flawless NFT, then Repute = 100%, and you do not want to do something with it.
In case your repute is beneath 100, then you’re given a alternative of one in all two options:
1) to improve Repute to 100%;
2) to make an change for a related NFT, in accordance with actual chargings plus buy prices.
You’ve in all probability already labored out the ruse: Give all people’s NFT a nasty repute and acquire charges.
As MetaForce buyers capable of money out headed for the exit over the subsequent few days, Okhotnikov supplied one other replace on Might thirty first.
At Opensea, an enormous quantity of cheated NFTs had been put up on the market, which led to excessive value dumping and combined with authorized NFTs.
Actual Royalty NFTs can’t be that low-cost. We are going to make a segregation, leaving every participant as a lot as ought to be in equity.
Okhotnikov’s “segregation” will see MetaForce launch a 3rd reboot of its Royalty NFTs. In fact as soon as once more, MetaForce buyers will probably be charged a “repute charge” emigrate over.
And if all this was already too complicated and foolish (apparent collapsing Ponzi is clear), Okhotnikov reassured MetaForce buyers that
Sooner or later, each acquiring and charging/upgrading Royalty NFT will turn out to be extra sophisticated … it will likely be tougher to acquire them over time than it’s now.
Not that it’ll have any affect on MetaForce collapsing or its nugatory NFT Ponzi positions, in a brand new replace printed earlier at present, Okhotnikov claimed;
Funds for standing NFTs will probably be enormous and their market worth will probably be very excessive. Royalty NFT will probably be a long-term driving drive for our lively packages.
Very quickly we are going to launch our merchandise, after which we are going to join them to the Loyalty program with Cashback tokens that will probably be related to Tactile.
Subsequently, develop what you are promoting in Tactile now, as a result of on this case, in the beginning of the Loyalty program, you’ll have an enormous benefit.
The doorways of our Metaverse, distinctive and revolutionary, will probably be opened quickly, first within the beta model, then its degree will always improve, and tiers within the Uniteverse will probably be entry ranges to the Metaverse.
This coincides with a brand new shitcoin launch, ForceCoin.
Okhotnikov is a Russian nationwide residing overtly in Georgia (the nation).
Okhotnikov was indicted for wire fraud again in February. He has additionally been sued by the SEC for securities fraud.
Pending Georgian authorities doing something about Okhotnikov’s $340 million plus Ponzi scheme, he stays at massive.
