INBS International Review: Mainston Ponzi reboot


INBS Worldwide is a continuation of the Mainston Ponzi scheme.

In an try to create the phantasm of distance, Mainston is introduced on INBS Worldwide’s web site as a companion firm.

In actuality INBS Worldwide is run by the identical individuals who run Mainston; Fabrice Kerherve and Patrick and Sandra Colin.

For all intents and functions Mainston and INBS Worldwide are the identical firm.

Mainston initially launched in 2015 as a easy four-tier deep pyramid scheme. I consider it collapsed by the top of the yr.

Fabrice Kerherve resurfaced in 2019 with Flash4People, a failed MLM crypto Ponzi try.

Just a few months later Kerherve resurrected Mainston to strive once more.

Mainston’s Ponzi reboot noticed it market STON tokens, which Kerherve and his Colin companions bought to gullible buyers.

In accordance with Mainston’s web site, the corporate bilked buyers out of €8.5 million euros.

After funding dried up, so too did curiosity in Mainston.

To placate indignant buyers and as predicted in our July 2019 Mainston reboot evaluation, the corporate opted for the alternate exit-scam mannequin.

As soon as their secret ICO is over, or Kerherve and his companions are happy they’ve milked as a lot as they’re going to get out of buyers, makes an attempt to get STON listed on some dodgy public exchanges will start.

As soon as a number of appropriate exchanges are discovered, STOR will set a public itemizing launch date.

This may hype the preliminary itemizing worth, additional permitting Kerherve and his companions to money out at STON’s pumped preliminary itemizing worth.

As a result of STON is an totally pointless shitcoin that brings completely nothing new to the desk, it’ll then begin to dump.

The exit-scam performs out by the use of indignant associates realizing they’ve been cheated, solely to be instructed Mainston upheld their a part of the contract by offering them with a token.

Fabrice Kerherve and his co-conspirators make off invested funds, and if it’s sufficient they’ll by no means be seen once more.

The alternate Mainston discovered to checklist its token on was Latoken, a dodgy shitcoin alternate run out of Russia.

STON’s Latoken itemizing seems to have taken place final December or so.

After the preliminary dump, STON flatlined till earlier this month:

This coincides with ramped up promotion of INBS Worldwide.

Conclusion

Relatively than simply make off with no matter they’ve stashed away, Fabrice Kerherve and the Colins’ have determined to double down for extra.

In a nutshell INBS Worldwide is a cash laundering operation. The enterprise mannequin is that of a pyramid scheme, with the side-goal of elevating STON’s dodgy alternate worth.

This time Kerheve and the Colins’ wish to broaden past France and goal English talking nations, particularly the UK:

Observe the US exception. Make no mistake: INBS Worldwide is illegitimate all over the place else on this planet, it’s simply that the US are much more diligent in shutting scams like INBS Worldwide down.

If OneCoin taught us something it’s that, for essentially the most half, MLM securities fraud isn’t a precedence for European regulators.

I wasn’t aware of phycocyanin so I went and appeared it up. It’s the blue-algae stuff that’s available all over the place.

Not that it issues, as a result of INBS Worldwide’s merchandise are simply an excuse to get associates to spend every month. In any other case the comp plan would stall and that’d be that.

Oh and I suppose “we promote dietary supplements” sounds higher than “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE BUY MY STON BAGS!”.

Wanting ahead, INBS Worldwide will chug alongside whereas they will discover new suckers to dump STON onto.

The promoters who’re already in neck-deep from Mainston will proceed to market, as a result of that’s the one hope in hell they’ve of cashing out their STON balances.

If Kerherve and the Colins’ wish to be notably grasping, they will undercut affiliate promote orders with their company stash. Or simply be content material to take a seat on what they’ve and proceed to gather on month-to-month funds.

Relying on how lengthy INBS Worldwide drags out for, anticipate some new elements added in some unspecified time in the future. Something to maintain the phantasm STON is definitely value something for a bit longer.

When all the things is lastly exhausted or buyers have woken up, we’ll be again at sq. one.

Bagholders holding one more MLM shitcoin with nothing to point out for it.
