It seems that in the near future Tatarstan and Kazan will be covered not by the discussion of candidates for deputies of the State Duma, but by the discussion of the "stars" of the Finico pyramid. The Internet publication "Business-online" gave a start to this discussion of "stars".
Now let's talk about these stars in detail:
1. The stars of Finico are those who lured investors into the pyramid, raising their "level" and investing in a share with the founders of the financial pyramid. They received one-time payments for each attracted depositor, and then a permanent income, depending on the amount of money deposited by the deceived people.
2. The bonus of these stars was their proximity to the organizers of the pyramid.
At closed meetings, they were brought to the information that is not available to ordinary depositors, so, the victims are sure, the "stars" managed to withdraw money long before the beginning of July, when information about the collapse of the pyramids appeared
Having lured thousands of victims into the pyramid, they boasted of limousines and houses in Sochi.
3. The brightest "stars", having the 10th level, attracted tens of thousands of people to the pyramid, and the amount of investments of their "herd" could amount to several million dollars. Now the "stars" have mostly gone underground, having cleaned up their accounts in social networks, or even left with the ends to warm countries.
4. How were the constellations of the pyramid, that is, the star networks, built?
By attracting new investors, it was possible to reach a maximum of level 10. To become a" star " of the first level, you had to have your own deposit of at least $1 thousand and invite people whose total deposits will be at least $10 thousand. This gave the "leaders" not only accruals on their own deposits (allegedly earned by the efforts of traders), but also 3% monthly of the income of invited people and a one-time payment of 5% of the deposit. The higher the "star", the more investors it has attracted and the money extorted from them. "Fifth Star", for example, itself had to invest at least $5 thousand, as well as attract $100 thousand. from depositors, and the "tenth" — at least $20 thousand of the deposit and the attraction of $1 million.
5. Finiko recruiters were divided into teams, each of which must have at least one person with a "sixth star" and two with a "fifth". The monthly additional income of such a "star" was supposed to be 3.5% of the income of all lower-level lines. According to their own confessions, they earned more than 2-3 million rubles a month from the depositors of Zvezda.
6. But the system of attracting investors to Finiko did not end there. For those who attracted a particularly large number of people, they came up with honorary titles: network director, vice president, president and adviser of the company. The duties of such persons included the involvement of depositors with total deposits of $5 million, $10 million, $15 million and $30 million, respectively. Also, there should have been several branches in their structure, headed by the"tenth stars".
7. Now the victims are writing statements to law enforcement agencies about the people who involved them in the pyramid. There were at least 250" stars " in different regions of the country and neighboring countries. Two representatives of Finiko have already been detained in Bishkek, and a criminal case has also been opened in Kyrgyzstan on the fact of organizing a pyramid scheme. The reason was the statement of a local resident who complained that she entrusted $46 thousand to the" leaders " of the pyramid, but did not receive the promised profit. The Kyrgyz "stars" were sent under arrest for 2 months.
Catching stars from the sky is romantic. But the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not up to romance now. It seems that the fishing of "stars" and "starfall" will begin soon after all.
