Individuals around the globe have donated in direction of the creating humanitarian disaster in Ukraine.
Most donate out of a real want to assist these in want.
Others, like GSPartners and proprietor Josip Heit, see it as a advertising alternative. This led to clashes with donation organizers in Germany.
In since deleted Instagram posts, Josip Heit claimed he was supporting Ukraine “humanitarian motion”.
Not capable of donate by GSPartners straight (as a result of Ponzi), Heit donated round €3000 EUR by his Berliner Tageszeitung media firm.
Heit’s submit featured a truck with signage that includes GSPartners’ emblem. A vacation spot signal on the entrance featured the hashtag #G999.
A March 2nd FaceBook submit by prime GSPartners net-winner Andrew Eaton, revealed the vacation spot signal was photoshopped.
Eaton additionally said “GSB sending 60 tons of humanitarian support to Ukraine”.
GSB stands for “Gold Customary Financial institution”, it’s one other strand within the internet of shell corporations Heit runs GSPartners by.
GSPartners’ donation was a part of a broader effort by Erol, a automotive workshop in Potsdam, Germany. To his credit score Heit disclosed this.
When contacted about GSPartners utilizing their donation drive to promote their Ponzi scheme, a consultant from Erol said GSPartners branding was positioned “with out consent or data”.
Right here’s the truck earlier than GSPartners defaced it:
GSPartners donated the non-branded posters. It seems they switched the GSPartners ones in when nobody was wanting.
The berlin every day newspaper tried it twice. we now have eliminated these (posters) 2 instances.
The Berlin every day newspaper refers to Berliner Tageszeitung. Heit purchased some failing German media corporations some time again. He retains their web sites going to show GSPartners advert banners on.
Truthfully if that was all there was to this story, I wouldn’t have bothered to place pen to paper.
Heit donated to the Ukrainian trigger. Good on him and if he needs to be cheesy about it, nicely at the least Ukrainians are nonetheless receiving support.
The response from the Erol consultant nonetheless continues;
We have been solely accompanied by the Berlin every day newspaper – this newspaper most likely belongs to the GSB group.
They donated about 1000€ of water. 2 tank fillings have been donated by the Berlin every day newspaper.,
the posters have been additionally donated, however the poster with GSP promoting was not put up by us.
This was eliminated instantly after we found the surreptitious promoting.
The Berlin every day newspaper solely donated a worth of approx. 3000€. With 3000€ you possibly can’t set up 60 tons of donation.
On this case, the GSP adorns itself with the pen of the inhabitants of Potsdam and Berlin.
In case it wasn’t clear, in that final paragraph Erol calls out GSPartners for taking credit score for the whole donation pool.
€3000 EUR in support remains to be €3000 EUR in support. However why the necessity to lie about how a lot and switch it right into a advertising marketing campaign?
Even the organizers of the occasion have been driving unmarked rental vehicles. Have some dignity Josip, that is embarrassing.
