the purpose of offline development and the t of high return is MLM
for MLM, you can refuse to join.
MLM refers to the behavior of organizers or operators who seek illegal benefits, disrupt economic order and affect social stability by calculating and paying remuneration to the developed personnel based on their number of directly or indirectly developed personnel or sales performance, or requiring the developed personnel to obtain the qualification to join in on the condition of paying certain fees
MLM can be simply summarized as follows:
1
2. Need to constantly find partners, and set up a team under the guise of doubling income to ince others
3. Decide how much you will get in return according to the number of people below and their business performance
4. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to make the offline pay 1 yuan to the online, and the online said to teach the offline how to earn 50 yuan. As a result, when the offline gave the online 1 yuan, the online told the offline to find the same 10 idiots to do offline< According to Article 7 of the regulations of the State Council on the prohibition of pyramid selling, the following acts belong to pyramid selling:
(1) organizers or business operators, through development personnel, require other personnel developed by the developed personnel to join, and calculate and pay remuneration (including material rewards and other economic benefits) to the developed personnel based on the number of personnel developed directly or indirectly, (the same below) seeking illegal interests
(2) the organizer or business operator, through the developer, requires the developed person to pay fees or pay fees in disguised form by way of subscribing for commodities, so as to obtain the qualification of joining or developing other persons to join and seek illegal interests
(3) the organizer or business operator, through the development personnel, requests other personnel developed by the development personnel to join, forms the relationship between the upper and lower line, and calculates and pays the online remuneration based on the sales performance of the lower line, so as to seek illegal interests.
Bitcoin is a scam
because bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency, most of which are unregulated and bypass the traditional banking system. Its sharp rise worries regulators around the world. Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan's president, described bitcoin as & quot; A scam & quot;. Because compared with bitcoin, it's not real, it's going to end in the end
virtual currency similar to bitcoin is based on blockchain technology. It is a kind of accounting technology using anonymous computer network operation. No government or central bank has endorsed bitcoin. Therefore, no one can support the value of bitcoin
extended information:
pyramid selling is to absorb and allocate funds by developing the relationship between the upper and lower line. In the bitcoin investment market, the elderly and new people do not have the time advantage, nor do they rely on high profits to pull down the line. In the face of market fluctuations, no one can guarantee that they will make money, and the elderly can not force them to get income from pulling new people
bitcoin or other digital currency does not belong to any person or organization. It is an uncontrolled and decentralized program. The code is fully developed, and the total amount cannot be modified or destroyed
in order to protect the right of privacy, the specific name will not be released, such as the case of "Wanfu coin of future city" organized and led pyramid selling activities cracked in Xuzhou, and the official name of its leader is Liu Mou Ben Strong>
reporters in some "Wan Fu" promotion website and official account, many of the title of Liu, including the president of the global future city group, former vice governor of California, etc., and many pictures of Liu and foreign dignitaries and celebrities. In order to develop more members, Mr. Liu also held a huge investment promotion conference in Bali, Indonesia, Hong Kong and other places, attracting thousands of people from China
Liu also claimed that "Wanfu coin" was approved by the US Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Banking Regulatory Commission and would soon apply for a direct sales license in China. According to police investigation, "Wanfu coin" as a virtual digital currency has no legal basis to apply for direct marketing license in China, which is purely fictitiousaccording to the relevant person in charge of Xuzhou public security bureau, "Wanfu coin" reflects the new characteristics of the current MLM
1. In the name of virtual currency, virtual currency is a new thing for pyramid selling. At the same time, it is attractive under the banner of e-commerce, personal finance and distance ecation, which is not understood by the general public and easy to be deceived
2. Development members on the Internet are all carried out on the Internet, and members can only join the MLM through the website, and the user names used are pseudonyms or code names, and they all have their own login passwords. They chat with each other mainly through wechat. This has changed the traditional mode of setting up a studio and a newspaper center to organize activities, and increased the concealment of MLM
3. Spread on the Internet
the Internet makes the pyramid selling break through the restrictions of regions and national boundaries. The backbone personnel of pyramid selling often set their headquarters abroad, hide abroad and issue orders. It is difficult to arrest, recover stolen goods and get rid of the roots when funds are transferred abroad
according to the police, there are 100 or 200 kinds of "virtual currency" publicized on the Internet, which is hard to distinguish between true and false. The use of virtual currency for illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling, fraud and other criminal activities are frequent, investors should carefully screen P>
has the final say:
virtual currency network platform features
1, hype "new concept"
virtual currency network platform has very flexible form, often make only superficial changes, many are just made some concepts, all "game rules" are all platform based, there is a very big black box operation space. p>
2. Advocate "zero risk"
"real zero risk, only make no loss financial project", "China's first FC virtual currency is born, will create countless millionaires again"... The reporter saw that on a flyer page of FC virtual currency, there is such a slogan. A "player" told reporters that other "players" also claimed that in the future, a coin can buy a house
In the case of Yiyang network platform, many participants are over 60 years old, and the oldest is close to 80 years old. They usually spend most of their time at home with their grandchildren. They don't understand the Internet, and they listen to others. The elderly have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, and they don't know much about new things, so it's difficult to identify false propaganda, so it's easy to become the target of these network platformsMalaysia's latest MLM list: MBI group Under the guise of game financing MFC, MBI group's operation mode is in line with the characteristics of head pulling, money investing and offline development in Ponzi's scheme, and has been identified as MLM by public security, instry and commerce departments
MBI has set up "MFC game financial management platform" on the Internet to turn the "barter currency" (also known as GRC and M currency) into "virtual currency". Through online mall shopping, offline business transactions and other means, the "barter currency" will circulate, and then through the form of holding a propaganda meeting, the public publicity investment "virtual currency" will only rise but not fall and other lies. The number and investment amount of development offline are presented in the form of token, and the participants form a huge pyramid network, whose operation essence is the Ponzi scheme of "eat first, then" extended materials
MBI operation method:
(1) to participate in the organization, you need to pay an entry fee ranging from $100 to $5000, and you can obtain the qualification by paying the entry fee
(2) the hierarchical relationship was formed by pulling people's hair. Although the organization claims to be static and dynamic, from the perspective of its system design, the only way for it to absorb new funds is to attract dynamic hair exhibition personnel
(3) by means of advertising bonus, entertainment bonus and game bonus, multi-level payment is adopted
through the bonus system of the organization:
(1) develop personnel and form a network. MLM organizers promise that as long as the participants pay to join, and then develop others to join, they will get a high "reward" or "reward". This is commonly known as "development offline". Downline can also be further developed to form a hierarchical relationship and form a "personnel chain" of MLM
(2) the remuneration is calculated and paid on the basis of the number of direct and indirect development of the participants themselves, that is, the remuneration is calculated and drawn based on the number of direct and indirect development of the participants, forming a "money chain" of MLM; Based on the sales performance (i.e. sales) of the participants' direct and indirect development, the remuneration is calculated and paid to form the "money chain" of pyramid selling
however, the attitude of regulators is clear. Whether it is genuine bitcoin, or a variety of derivative Shanzhai coins, there is no way to obtain legal living space at present. This is something we need to be clear about. If the platform goes out of business or the staff runs away, it is very likely that they will lose all their money and the losses they have suffered will not be protected by law
the promises they give you often make the participants pay money quickly. Behind them is the Ponzi scheme of "robbing the east to pay the west" + "cheating the white wolf with empty hands". They use the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term return to old investors, so as to create the illusion of making money and cheat more investment. When no new investors enter, the return of old investors collapses one after another, and it is often difficult to withdraw cash, or the website cannot be opened
in short, although the external form of virtual currency is ever-changing, it is not divorced from its essence of pyramid selling. The more investors put in, the greater the final loss, and the more serious the loss may be.
MBI group of Malaysia is a company blacklisted by Chinese public security under the guise of game finance MFC, MBI group of Malaysia is characterized as pyramid selling by the public security, instry and commerce departments because its operation mode is in line with the characteristics of touting, investing and offline development in Ponzi scheme

The real reason for the geometric multiple growth of participants lies in the "dynamic income", that is, the reward for development offline. On the Internet, "MBI" prospects are taught to the offline staff, the concept and rebate rules of "MBI" are taught, and members are "brainwashed". It is also said that "MBI" has real economy in Malaysia, so as to achieve the purpose of hoodwinking members
the temptation of "high return" has prompted members to continue to join and develop offline staff, with more than 1000 people and more than 30 million yuan involved. On November 29, 2016, Jiaojiang Branch of Taizhou Public Security Bureau put Wang zhong and others on file for investigation for suspected organizing and leading pyramid selling activities
