EthPlus operates within the cryptocurrency MLM area of interest and seems to have launched a number of months in the past (official Fb web page was created in Might 2020).
On the time of publication, EthPlus’ web site particulars two govt members; Fernando Urdaneta (Head of search engine marketing) and Jonathan Valle (Industrial Director).
Additional analysis reveals Urdaneta showing as EthPlus’ CEO in YouTube advertising and marketing movies:
Why Urdaneta is trying to decrease his position inside ETHPlus on the corporate’s web site is unclear.
Given the dearth of anybody else introduced as being ready of authority inside EthPlus, Urdaneta (proper) is assumed to be working the corporate.
ETHPlus’ web site area (“ethplus.web”) was registered on April tenth, 2020. “OmegaSquad” is listed because the proprietor, by way of an incomplete tackle in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
This syncs up with Fernando Urdaneta who, based on his Fb profile, is initially from Venezeula however now lives in Santo Domingo.
Probably on account of language obstacles, I used to be unable to place collectively an MLM historical past on Urdaneta.

Conclusion
ETHPlus is the newest sensible contract Ponzi entry I’m conscious of.
The contract itself is a cookie-cutter matrix-based Ponzi scheme, by way of which early ETHPlus affiliate buyers steal the cash of those that be part of after them.
Consequently, anticipate the same old quantity of “BUH MY BLOCKCHAIN!” advertising and marketing nonsense, and pretentious insistence that the legal guidelines of math don’t apply to cryptocurrency scams.
As with all MLM Ponzi scheme, as soon as affiliate recruitment slows down so too will new funding.
Being a matrix-based Ponzi, this may present itself by the use of affiliate matrices stalling. As soon as sufficient matrices have stalled company-wide, ETHPlus will collapse.
The mathematics behind Ponzi schemes ensures that once they collapse, nearly all of buyers lose cash.
Being an MLM crypto Ponzi, Fernando Urdaneta and pals should have an exit-scam.
ETHPlus’ exit-scam of selection seems to be the publicly traded shitcoin.
In late June ETHPlus started touting ETHP, a publicly traded ERC-20 shitcoin.
ERC-20 token cash may be arrange in 5 minutes and price virtually nothing to run.
When the time involves cease paying out precise ethereum, anticipate ETHPlus to start out dumping nugatory ETHP onto associates.
As beforehand said, ETHP prices Fernando Urdaneta little to nothing to generate on demand.
As ETHPlus initially spreads, ETHP’s public worth will deceptively rise. That is because of the offloading of ETHP onto new buyers at inflated costs.
Since June 2020, ETHP public buying and selling worth has climbed to $24. Whereas which may sound spectacular, keep in mind there’s little to no exterior buying and selling quantity.
When ETHPlus inevitably collapses, its web site and Urdaneta will disappear.
This may depart ETHPlus associates bagholding a nugatory shitcoin, whose public worth thus dumps to $0.
