AIC token “staking” mannequin Ponzi


AiConnects fails to offer possession or government info on its web site.

AiConnects’ web site area (“aiconnects.io”), was privately registered on April twelfth, 2024.

Over on YouTube we discover AiConnects advertising movies tying three names to the corporate:

  • AiConnects founder – M. Baris Arslan (beneath)
  • AiConnects CEO – Nicoletta Flare
  • AiConnects Director of Gross sales – Asker Sakinmaz

Baris Arslan is purportedly from Germany. Arslan doesn’t seem to have an MLM historical past (or a lot of a digital footprint), which is a direct pink flag.

Nicoletta Flare, aka Nicoletta Weinstock, is initially from Germany however lives in Spain,

Flare additionally doesn’t seem to have a verifiable MLM historical past. On social media Flare  cites herself as a “enterprise & life coach” and “wealth creator”

Asker Sakinmaz has a historical past of serial involvement in fraudulent in MLM schemes.

Sakinmaz, from Turkey, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as CEO of the FlexKom pyramid scheme in 2013.

FlexKom was rebooted as Weeconomy in 2019. Weeconomy marked a transition to MLM associated crypto fraud.

In his capability as a FlexKom government, Sakinmaz was convicted on fraud costs in Belgium in 2020. Sakinmaz, convicted in absentia,  was sentenced to forty months in jail and an €18,000 EUR high-quality.

After Weeconomy collapsed, in 2021 Sakinmaz resurfaced as a part of Safir Worldwide’s “circle of belief”.

Safir Worldwide was an MLM crypto Ponzi constructed round Zeniq Coin. The rip-off collapsed in 2023.

One other title hooked up to AiConnects value noting is George van Wijk:

Wijk was a prime promoter of the Crowd1 Ponzi scheme.

After a fallout with proprietor Jonas Werner, Wijk ditched Crowd1 in 2022. Later that very same yr Wijk resurfaced with Star Horizon.

Star Horizon, primarily an unofficial spinoff of Crowd1, collapsed in March 2024.

As an alternative of acknowledging its ties to Germany and Turkey via its executives, AiConnects offers a Singapore PO Field handle on its web site.

The handle purportedly corresponds to FintechBay Pte Ltd, a purported Singapore shell firm.

As at all times, if an MLM firm shouldn’t be brazenly upfront about who’s working or owns it, assume lengthy and arduous about becoming a member of and/or handing over any cash.

AiConnects Conclusion

Beneath AiConnects AI advertising wrapper…

…is a straightforward MLM crypto Ponzi pyramid scheme.

AiConnect associates put money into AICT on the promise of passive returns, paid in AICT.

ROI withdrawals are purportedly tied to undisclosed third-party tasks, of which there isn’t a verifiable proof to verify.

Along with being a authorized requirement, the one acceptable verifiable proof is audited monetary reviews filed with regulators.

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

Utilizing new funding to pay ROI withdrawals would make AiConnects a Ponzi scheme. AiConnects additionally being a pyramid scheme is because of nothing being marketed or bought to retail prospects.

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

This may starve AiConnects of ROI income, finally prompting a collapse.

The maths behind Ponzi schemes ensures that once they collapse, the vast majority of contributors lose cash.
