20% of funds invested by associates is paid out as a referral fee, break up down three ranges of recruitment:
- degree 1 (personally recruited associates) – 40% of 20%
- degree 2 – 30% of 20%

Conclusion
iBG Finance markets itself as an
AI enabled crypto wealth administration app.
Get funding options or full portfolio allocation based mostly on what fits you.
In actuality it’s one other cookie-cutter MLM crypto Ponzi factors scheme.
Having gotten nowhere along with his earlier blockchain initiatives Vin Menon and whoever he’s working with have gone full Ponzi scheme.
IBG token is an ERC-20 shitcoin. ERC-20 tokens might be created in about 5 minutes at little to no price.
From there IBG tokens are generated on demand and flogged off to iBG Finance associates on the promise of riches.
iBG Finance don’t disclose the present inner IBG token worth. Nonetheless returns are realized when IBG tokens are cashed out by way of an inner change.
This performs out so long as there’s invested funds to withdraw. Facilitating the everyday switch of newly invested funds to iBG Finance buyers who bought in early.
Vin Menon and mates will after all take their undisclosed minimize off the highest.
The usage of invested funds to pay withdrawals is what makes iBG Finance a Ponzi scheme. Pay to play (tying earnings to investments) and commissions on invested funds, provides a pyramid layer to the scheme.
On the regulatory entrance neither Vin Menon or iBG Finance are registered to supply securities in Singapore, or wherever else on the earth.
At a minimal iBG Finance and Menon are committing securities fraud.
iBG Finance’s inevitable exit-scam will start when the Ponzi scheme inevitably collapses.
This can present itself with withdrawals by way of iBG Finance’s inner change being disabled.
Withdrawals being disabled will both be a straight cutoff or hidden behind some bullshit excuse that is unnecessary (“Pricey buyers, insert a lot of meaningless crypto bro jargon, sorry in your loss.”).
Then IBG token will then both be dumped on a public change, or Menon and mates will take their ill-gotten beneficial properties and disappear.
This MLM shitcoin exit-scam has performed out again and again. iBG Finance is similar mannequin as the remainder of the “spend money on our shitcoin” schemes which have come earlier than it.
It gained’t finish any in another way.
