Shares, blockchain & VC ruse Ponzi


Scorpio fails to offer verifiable possession or govt info on its web site.

Supposedly Scorpio is headed up by CEO Willard Chapman.

Chapman doesn’t exist exterior of Scorpio’s advertising. I believe, together with Scorpio’s different executives, that these are AI generated profile photographs.

In the event you look carefully at Chapman’s physique, you’ll see his arm is wonky inside his swimsuit and he’s crossed his arms on the pectoral degree. Chapman’s left hand can also be lacking.

All three Scorpio executives are additionally posed in precisely the identical method at precisely the identical angle with bizarre non-uniform lighting. Collectively these observations are indicative of AI-generated pictures.

Scorpio’s web site area (“scorpiovc.com”), was registered on October tenth, 2023. The personal registration was final up to date on July 2nd, 2024.

By means of the Wayback Machine, the earliest model of Scorpio’s present web site was tracked in mid January 2024. Scorpio’s official FaceBook group was created in November 2023.

Regardless of being 9 months outdated on the newest, on its web site Scorpio falsely claims it “began its journey in 2018”.

It’s additionally price noting Scorpio’s FaceBook web page is adminned by “Isabel Snyder”. The Snyder account has is populated with what seems to be stolen photographs and in any other case has no content material.

As of June 2024, SimilarWeb tracks high sources of visitors to Scorpio’s web site as Hungary (68%), Germany (19%) and Switzerland (6%).

Versus web site representations Scorpio relies out of the US and Hong Kong, whoever is definitely working it probably has ties to Europe.

As at all times, if an MLM firm just isn’t overtly upfront about who’s working or owns it, suppose lengthy and exhausting about becoming a member of and/or handing over any cash.

Scorpio Conclusion

Scorpio represents it generates exterior income by way of shares, blockchain and enterprise capital funding.

Scorpio fails to offer proof it generates exterior income of any form. Moreover, Scorpio’s enterprise mannequin fails the Ponzi logic take a look at.

If Scorpio is already capable of generate as much as 2.26% a day, what do they want your cash for? And why is Scorpio offering you entry to astronomical returns for free of charge?

Because it stands the one verifiable income getting into Scorpio is new funding.

Utilizing new funding to pay withdrawals would make Scorpio a Ponzi scheme. Moreover, with nothing marketed or bought to retail prospects, the MLM aspect of Scorpio capabilities as a pyramid scheme.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, as soon as affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new funding.

It will starve Scorpio of ROI income, ultimately prompting a collapse.

The mathematics behind Ponzi schemes ensures that once they collapse, nearly all of contributors lose cash.
