Crowd1 scammers launch spinoff Ponzi


It’s no secret that Crowd1 has all however collapsed.

ROI withdrawals collapsed virtually two years in the past. Recruitment saved Crowd1 going, however that’s devolved into Russians and Ukrainians scamming eachother.

Exterior of japanese Europe, Crowd1 is useless.

Crowd1’s collapse has prompted executives and high promoters to desert ship. Every week in the past BehindMLM documented the departure of Ambassador 3 ranked promoter, George van Wijk.

As a part of his private exit-scam, Wijk branded Crowd1 “unfair and unsafe”. Wijk additionally talked about “subsequent steps” however didn’t elaborate.

As we speak BehindMLM can reveal Wijk, along with different Crowd1 scammers, are gearing as much as launch Star Horizon.

On December twenty third, 24-48 hours after Wijk’s Crowd1 exit-scam announcement went out, Star Horizon held a “pre launch presentation”.

The presentation was opened by Alan Platt, a UK resident and former Crowd1 promoter.

Platt went on to introduce Star Horizon’s CEO, Gregory Stevens.

Stevens is from South Africa and is tied to Crowd1 by way of the failed Emerge Gaming and Miggster Ponzi ruses.

Rob Hersov is credited as Govt Chairman and the “most important investor” of Star Horizon.

Hersov can be tied to Crowd1 by way of the Emerge Gaming Ponzi ruse. Hersov was appointed a non-Govt Director of Emerge Gaming in February 2021.

After Crowd1 ran its course, Hersov cashed out and resigned in January 2022.

Not surprisingly, the ruse behind Star Horizon is gaming.

Starvara is headed up by “Chief Architect and developer” Dominic Obojkovits.

It’s probably not price stepping into, as a result of it has nothing to do with Star Horizon’s MLM alternative, however Starvara is purportedly an MMO.

When you’re aware of gaming suppose World of Warcraft, Misplaced Ark, Closing Fantasy XIV and many others., however with out core sport mechanics and ruined with cryptocurrency.

If none of these names imply something to you, don’t fear. Like I stated, mirroring Crowd1, gaming is only a ruse to push Star Horizon.

Right here’s George van Wijk salivating on the prospect of scamming folks by way of a brand new Ponzi scheme;

[24:51] I’m not a gamer however after I noticed this, the digital (and) I put the glasses on, I noticed so many alternatives.

Not simply within the sport world however in an open world. The place we are able to meet one another, we are able to see one another. The place all people might be who he wish to be [sic].

And be the character and I think about we’ve the boardroom and its wonderful loft. What you’ve seen the massive desk and we are able to sit altogether and discuss to one another.

You might be there in England, I’m right here within the Netherlands and Nic is in South Africa. And there we sitting altogether and have a me- (van Wijk stops himself from saying “meal”)… however there’s no Zoom. We will see one another and we are able to talk with one another.

What van Wijk is describing is VRChat, an “a web-based digital world platform” launched in 2014.

What I do wish to set up is that Starvara is recycled nonsense from Crowd1’s Metaversy flop.

Metaversy was Crowd1’s transition from conventional gaming to Web3 gaming (observe Web3 is crypto bro communicate for “rip-off”).

Gregory Stevens and Emerge Gaming had been in on Crowd1’s transition ruse (Crowd1’s complete Ponzi enterprise mannequin is arising with new ruses to dupe traders with, they’ve been doing it because the first playing ruse in 2019).

On September twenty fourth Crowd1 held a PR occasion for a brand new workplace in Singapore. As regurgitated in a BusinessForHome puff-piece;

Metaversy Sport Director Henric Swahn (aka “The World Builder”) confirmed the viewers how probably the most thrilling digital buying and selling sport will probably be defining this new world.

Particularly, Henric shared some tantalising sport mechanics developments, which cemented Metaversy as one of the vital anticipated web3 video games on the planet. Greg Stevens, Nick French and Dominic Obojkovit from GameOut ushered within the new age of on-line gaming, unveiling the evolution of Miggster Plus, exhibiting the viewers what they will count on within the coming months, and introducing their latest Starlined avatar.

Starvara’s web site area was acquired a month later, on or round October twenty seventh, 2022.

Rebranding as Star Horizon apart, Starvara is actually a continuation of the gaming ruse Stevens and Emerge gaming began with Crowd1.

The malicious program in Starvara are VARA tokens. This brings us the Star Horizon the MLM alternative.

Star Horizon’s MLM presentation was given by Nicolaas van den Bergh.

Van den Bergh is from South Africa and, you guessed it, is tied to Crowd1 by way of Emerge Gaming.

Van den Bergh’s LinkedIn profile cites him leaving Emerge Gaming in Might 2022. That very same month he signed on as CMO of the newly created entity DFY Studios.

DFY is a Cape City-based AAA / Internet 3.0 gaming studio. We create and distribute multi-platform gaming experiences for a worldwide group, spanning over 152 nations.

I feel you’ll be able to put two and two collectively…

Mirroring the Crowd1 and Emerge Gaming Ponzi –> ruse relationship, Star Horizon is pitched as an

MMO (large multiplayer on-line) community open world which has the unique proper to promote the starvara universe.

Particular particulars weren’t revealed however from what was revealed, we all know Star Horizon is one other “staking” MLM crypto Ponzi scheme.

Enroll as an affiliate, spend money on VARA tokens, park the tokens with Star Horizon, receives a commission a return in VARA tokens and money out subsequently invested funds.

That’s it, that’s the enterprise mannequin. And the whole lot constructed round that’s smoke and mirrors.

Star Horizon as an MLM alternative pays associates to recruit VARA token traders.

Once more, specifics are mild however Star Horizon’s advertising references a “two-legged plan”. This could be your typical binary compensation construction:

New cash flows into Star Horizon by way of VARA token funding and conversion of Starvara property into VARA tokens. Commissions are paid on that quantity.

Why this wasn’t realized inside Crowd1 isn’t clear. The likley clarification is that no one is focused on “wEb3 GaMiNg”.

Simply with time period web3 gaming itself, “gaming” is doing a little fairly heavy lifting. Web3 video games inevitably incorporate “play to earn” mechanics, which remodel a sport into primarily work.

Carry out menial duties, earn an in home token and hope to money out earlier than all the factor inevitably goes tits up.

As have nearly all of Crowd1 traders misplaced cash, so too will nearly all of Star Horizon affiliate traders.

Pending Star Horizon’s official launch (TBA), BehindMLM will probably comply with up with an in depth evaluation of its compensation plan.
