3.5% a day insurance fund Ponzi


MultiTrade Global provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

MultiTrade Global appears to operate at least two domains, “multitrade-global.cc” and “multi-trade-global.org”.

Up until very recently the .ORG website was available. Today it returns the following maintenance message:

The .CC website is still available but it’s mostly in Russian.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, MultiTrade Global provides UK incorporation details:

Our team has been trading since 2015. Multitrade Global LTD, as an officially registered legal entity in the UK under the number 13700888, is considered to be established in 2021.

That incorporation number corresponds with MultiTrade Global LTD, incorporated on October 25th, 2021.

An MLM company operating or claiming to operate out of the UK is a red flag.

UK incorporation is dirt cheap and effectively unregulated. On top of that the FCA, the UK’s top financial regulator, do not actively regulate MLM related securities fraud.

As a result the UK is a favored jurisdiction for scammers looking to incorporate, operate and promote fraudulent companies.

For the purpose of MLM due-diligence, incorporation in the UK or registration with the FCA is meaningless.

As opposed to the UK, it’s pretty obvious MultiTrade Global has ties to Russia.

In addition to featuring Russian as a website language, MultiTrade Global’s website features an “Alikassa” button.

Alikassa is a Russian payment processor:

MultiTrade’s official YouTube channel is also pretty obvious:

Alexa ranks Russia as the top source of traffic to MultiTrade Global’s .CC website (33%), ahead of Vietnam (18%) and Ukraine (15%).

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

How closely that’s policed however is unclear.

MultiTrade Global Conclusion

MultiTrade Global claim they generate external revenue via a

pre-formulated insurance fund, which is replenished each time there is a positive closed trading day.

I don’t know what a “pre-formulated insurance fund” is. Neither does Google.

Doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t exist. MultiTrade Global is a cookie-cutter MLM Ponzi scheme.

MultiTrade Global provides no actual evidence of external revenue generation, and pretends it’s legal based on its basic UK incorporation.

Are the company’s activities legal?

The company’s operations are fully compliant with UK law and comply with all statutory financial rules.

As stated in the introduction of this review, basic incorporation is meaningless. That goes for outside the UK too.

Meanwhile authorities in Russia have already cottoned on MultiTrade Global.

On February 10th the Bank of Russia issued a MultiTrade Global pyramid scheme warning.

The MLM side of MultiTrade Global is very much a pyramid scheme. The daily returns however is a Ponzi model.

This model will see MultiTrade Global able to pay out withdrawals until invested funds are exhausted.

When that happens MultiTrade Global collapses, leaving the majority of participants with a loss.
