Following a string of failed schemes, Kari Wahlroos is again along with his personal social media platform.
On the backend it’s the same old cryptocurrency shenanigans.
In a video uploaded to FaceBook on December 4th, Wahlroos had a sook over the COVID-19 pandemic “limiting your life”.
[1:05] That’s why I’m right here at present and I need to discuss it.
Earlier than entering into his new enterprise, Wahlroos addresses the elephant within the room; the string of failed scams he’s been concerned with over the previous few years.
[1:08] So after so many disappointments with um … working with the incorrect individuals, unhealthy individuals … this goes down many, a few years that I needed to come back to this trade and speaking about crypto.
[1:35] I’ve travelled the world y’know. Most of you already know that I did some insane journeys, previous of the sequel [sic] 4, 5 years. Very intensively about two and a half years.
Creating these alternatives and believing within the imaginative and prescient that was created.
The “imaginative and prescient” Wahlroos is referring to is OneCoin, the infamous $4 billion greenback Ponzi scheme (notice the picture to the fitting is from 2015).
Wahlroos, as OneCoin’s advertising and marketing Ambassador till December 2017, is believed to have made hundreds of thousands by means of the rip-off.
[1:53] I nonetheless consider that no matter occurred then again, was OK. Was appropriate and I needed to comply with that and I used to be eager to discover a firm and the individuals to work with (however) they appeared to go incorrect on a regular basis.
The final try was a horrible, unlucky, unfortunate occasion.
The thought once more was nonetheless appropriate however (it was) finished by the unhealthy individuals.
So since then, for a 12 months, I’ve been enthusiastic about planning about and making ready one thing that I must make now.
(It’s) very, very clear and strong that I can’t have anybody else operating the enterprise besides me.
So now I’ve delivered one thing that’s completely managed by me. And I shall be accountable.
Wahlroos’ new firm is Hub Information, which he runs by means of “Freedom Republic”.
Information Hub is powered by a ColibriSM, a social media script written in PHP that presently prices $30.
ColibriSM is a contemporary platform for sharing media content material, an analogue of social networks similar to twitter, instagram.
ColibriSM is likely one of the greatest choices for creating your personal social platform.
Wahlroos’ advertising and marketing pitch for Information Hub is concern mongering medley of assorted conspiracy theories.
[3:07] They gonna block you in all places. Like they gonna restrict what you are able to do, the place you gonna go, how you need to use your cash, what you are able to do.
They gonna put restrictions for you in all places.
And uh very quickly largely they gonna shut your financial institution accounts and for those who’re not vaccinated, you can not enter your checking account.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh………….t.
Wahlroos seems to be one other product of the “boomers falling down social media algorithms rabbit gap” phenomenon.
Seemingly after spending one to many nights in FaceBook jail, Wahlroos is now raging in opposition to the system.
Which is type of ironic seeing as Wahlroos is utilizing Information Hub to advertise, properly FaceBook.
Entry to Information Hub initially value €9.99 EUR for personal accounts and €99 for companies.
Wahlroos has since jacked entry pricing to €49.50 and €499 EUR respectively. After December thirty first these costs double.
A 50% referral fee is paid on new recruits. As much as 20% is paid on annual renewals.
So far as I can inform there’s no MLM element to Information Hub.
The malicious program behind Information Hub is “freedom tokens”, a brand new cryptocurrency Wahlroos created and owns.
All Information Hub commissions are paid in Wahlroos’ freedom token.
If Information Hub customers publish free speech that uh, Kari Wahlroos disagrees with, they danger forfeiture of earned freedom tokens.
If guidelines set in these Phrases of Service shall be damaged, you may be terminated and no charges shall be returned.
In such case, earned tokens could be stored, but when additionally attending to our reward system – these privileges shall be misplaced.
As to what Wahlroos deems acceptable free speech, in his video he supplies some tips;
[15:00] Don’t be an a-hole in (the) platform. So uh solely optimistic issues and I’ll shut you down for those who discuss one thing silly over there.
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!
As to the specifics of freedom token gross sales, Wahlroos is terribly secretive.
No phrase on whether or not commissions are paid on token funding, or whether or not Wahlroos simply pockets that cash himself.
Ditto freedom token technical particulars.
In some unspecified time in the future it feels like an ecommerce platform shall be connected, permitting customers to spend their freedom tokens.
[5:05] There are numerous, many retailers already practising this in my earlier life.
That they’re accepting the crypto and so they perceive it.
Wahlroos is referring to OneCoin’s failed DealShaker platform. At its top (as a advertising and marketing software), DealShaker was populated with Chinese language items dropshippers and scammers pretending to promote luxurious items.
Wahlroos may additionally flog his upcoming e-book on Information Hub. The untitled work is seemingly 360+ pages lengthy.
[8:13] And for you guys who assume that y’know I’ve finished one thing, so um there’s gonna be a e-book about it.
I’ve by no means defended myself publicly and I by no means will. However there’s gonna be a e-book about it; what truly occurred within the earlier firms and what I’ve finished.
Wahlroos’ announcement follows fellow OneCoin alumni, Vesalina Valkova, additionally asserting a e-book final month.
Since launch round forty Information Hub accounts have been created. Wahlroos claims membership is “exploding”.
[9:42] I consider that we gonna be large, or y’know rival on any of these social media platforms earlier than the summer time.
I consider that we could be larger than Fb. And I consider that we could be larger than bitcoin.
Wahlroos reveals Fb has already banned New Hub signup hyperlinks, as a result of apparently they see the previous OneCoin scammer as competitors.
[5:45] I created this platform and also you requested me extra straight, as a result of already FaceBook banned me… for the reason that (NewsHub) signup hyperlink, as a result of it’s in opposition to the coverage.
In fact as a result of they don’t just like the competitors.
I consider the FaceBook coverage Wahlroos is referring to might be associated to spam.
Initially from Finland, after OneCoin collapsed Wahlroos joined the Dubai rip-off group. Since then he’s relocated to Latvia.
