The National Authority of Norway for research and prosecution of economic and environmental crime, or Økokrim, has sued four men for their alleged involvement in a Ponzi schedule that shifted millions of victims.
In a statement, the Økokrim says that the NOK mode has scammed 900 million ($ 80.80 million) of thousands of people who have joined a marketing network at multiple levels that members were recruiting in different places around the world.
The indictment says that the members were misled by believing that they would get a share in the investments and profit of a very profitable company with alleged interests in a gas field, mining and real estate if they buy product packages from their own cryptocurrencies and shares of the company.
The Økokrim says that the company did not actually make any significant investments and had no other income than from the deposits of the members. The network was laundered and then spread it as a return on the top networkers, backers and existing members.
Says Økokrim State public prosecutor Joakim Wiensler Berge,
“We believe that this is a big and extensive fraud. We are talking about many victims in many countries who have lost their money and important amounts that have ended up with the defendants. “
The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) says that the four men are in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
