Kartrud (right) brands the above smart-contract Ponzis as being part of Eclipcity, with Eclipcity Global marking the fourth launch in seven months.

Kartrud runs his Eclipcity Ponzi factory from Skane, Sweden. To date Swedish authorities have failed to take any action against him.

Eclipcity Global’s Products

Eclipcity Global’s Compensation Plan

Eclipcity Global’s compensation plan sees affiliates invest tron on the promise of a 310% ROI.

Eclipcity Global reinvestment sees affiliates required to invest larger and larger amounts:

The MLM side of Eclipcity Global’s compensation plan focuses on the recruitment of new affiliate investors.

Referral Commissions

Eclipcity Global affiliates receive 10% of tron invested by personally recruited affiliates.

Matching Bonus

Eclipcity Global pays a Matching Bonus via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Eclipcity Global caps payable unilevel team levels at twelve.

The Matching Bonus is paid out as a percentage of withdrawals made across these twelve levels as follows:

  • Star 1 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
  • Star 2 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1 and 10% on level 2
  • Star 3 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1 and 10% on levels 2 and 3
  • Star 4 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3 and 8% on level 4
  • Star 5 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3 and 8% on levels 4 and 5
  • Star 6 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3, 8% on levels 4 and 5 and 6% on level 6
  • Star 7 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3, 8% on levels 4 and 5 and 6% on levels 6 and 7
  • Star 8 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3, 8% on levels 4 and 5, 6% on levels 6 and 7 and 4% on level 8
  • Star 9 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3, 8% on levels 4 and 5, 6% on levels 6 and 7 and 4% on levels 8 and 9
  • Star 10 ranked affiliates receive a 30% match on level 1, 10% on levels 2 and 3, 8% on levels 4 and 5, 6% on levels 6 and 7, 4% on levels 8 and 9 and 2% on levels 10 to 12

Note that Eclipcity Global also arbitrarily adjusts the Matching Bonus paid out “on all levels”, ‘if the system recognizes that the matching percentage output is too high’.

Whatever that means.

Top Sponsor Pool

Eclipcity Global takes 1% of weekly company-wide investment and places it into the Top Sponsor Pool.

90% of funds collected for the Top Sponsor Pool each week are withheld to be added to the following week’s Top Sponsor Pool balance.

The remaining 10% is paid out to Eclipcity Global’s top affiliate recruiters as follows:

  • 25% is paid to the first top recruiter
  • 15% is paid out to the second top recruiter
  • 10% is paid out to the third top recruiter
  • 8% is paid out to the fourth to seventh top recruiters
  • 6% is paid out to the eighth to tenth top recruiters

Again the above percentages are calculated based on 10% of the collected Top Sponsor Pool each week, plus the 90% balance rolled over from the previous week.

Joining Eclipcity Global

Eclipcity Global affiliate membership is tied an initial minimum 500 TRX investment.

Reinvestment is eventually required to continue earning.

The highest investment tier requires Eclipcity Global affiliates to invest and continue reinvesting 701,000 to 1,000,000 TRX.

Conclusion

As you might have expected, Eclipcity Global is more of the same smart-contract Ponzi shenanigans from Andreas Kartrud.

With this launch the focus is on trapping investor funds within the contract.

To that end Eclipcity Global introduces a bunch of new rules:

Eclipcity Global’s new rules allow, at least in theory, Kartrud and friends to withdraw the majority of invested funds over time.

This occurs through a 5% admin fee and however many admin positions Kartrud sets up for himself.

I didn’t cover most of Eclipcity Global’s new rules in detail because the end-result will be the same; withdrawals will eventually exceed new investment, resulting in Eclipcity Global collapsing.

The math behind MLM Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.

This is true of EtherChain and TronChain. It will remain true with CyberChain, Eclipcity Global and any other Ponzi schemes Kartrud launches.

 

Update 21st March 2021 – Eclipcity Global has collapsed.

Andreas Kartrud is promising an impossible 120% recovery to dissuade victims from going to the authorities.
