List of virtual money pyramid schemes
(1) at present, there is no regulation to regulate the trading platform, but the trading platform should also fulfill the audit obligation. For example, when online trading various network virtual currencies, it should audit whether the currency is a network virtual currency based on blockchain technology
(2) if the trading platform knows that the online trading currency is suspected of MLM, but in order to collect Commission, it also provides trading services for the currency and promotes its development, once the currency is identified as MLM, the trading platform may have to bear certain legal liabilities
(3) at the same time, a large number of customers' funds are stored in the accounts of virtual currency trading institutions. However, all online virtual currency trading institutions are not qualified to absorb public funds, which makes trading institutions face the potential risk of illegal fund-raising
the 2017 version of the guide to the identification of internet pyramid selling (hereinafter referred to as the guide) lists several differences between virtual currency and pyramid selling currency:
(1) from the perspective of issuing mode, virtual currency does not rely on specific monetary institutions, it is a decentralized issuing mode according to specific algorithms; The MLM currency is mainly issued by a certain institution, and the profit is made by pulling the head
(2) from the perspective of transaction mode, virtual currency is a kind of sporadic transaction spontaneously formed by the market. After the scale is formed, the transaction is graally completed by a third party establishing an exchange, while MLM currency is issued by an institution and traded on its own platform
(3) from the perspective of implementation, virtual currency itself is an open source program, while the open source of MLM currency is completely ing other people's open source code, and there is no use of open source code to build programs, which is essentially controlled by the website as Q coin.

1. Cultural and entertainment chain: the cultural and entertainment chain takes advantage of the characteristics of blockchain, such as decentralization, openness, information tampering, and so on. It claims to build an "IP asset exchange", issue its own token for a high-quality IP, solve the problems of realization, protection, and management of the cultural and creative IP instry, and build a weakly centralized, traceable, digital, and capitalized cultural and creative instry ecosystem. But in fact, when they enter their community, the nature of the swindler will be exposed. They promise to go to the major exchanges such as Shanghuo coin, promise that the opening price will not be less than 2 times of earnings, promise that they will only go up but not go down, promise that they will not break, promise that they will not attract funds, promise to carry out pull propaganda, and hope to raise the vigilance
2. Ant chain (antc): ant chain is antc. It claims to be the token of decentralized digital asset trading system, and publicizes a of antc white paper in various wechat and QQ groups. Many people mistakenly believe that antc is raising money for fraud, There is no investment value at all

It has issued 700 million pieces in constant volume and will never be added. The issuing period is 4 years. The development source code is Ethereum erc-20, and the original issuing unit price is 1 RMB / piece. Take static income as an example: angel investment of 1000-20000 yuan. Return 3% of the investment amount every day, ending with a total of 3 times of the investment amount. For example, if the investment is 1000 yuan, return 3% of the investment amount every day = 30 yuan, return 100 days in total, and return 3000 yuan to the investor. It is the pyramid selling mode. After investigation, mesworth token did not use any blockchain technology, nor did it log on to any exchange as mentioned in the publicity
the earliest appearance of the former was in 2015. In the two years from 2015 to 2017, the personnel of Vicat MLM organizations, through false propaganda, selling Vicat, holding various propaganda meetings and establishing class system, led to more than 200 countries and more than 3 million people being cheated. Although in 2017, Vicat coins have been cracked, a total of 119 backbone were arrested. However, e to the large number of people involved in Vicat, even if the backbone is captured, some offline people are still using Vicat to continue to commit fraud. In the first half of 2018, many people found signs of recovery of Vicat
top 2: mchain (M-chain or MCC)
mchain, formerly known as M-chain or MCC, appeared in the second half of 2017. Through the Ethereum blockchain, the personnel of MCC pyramid marketing organization generated token MCC for free. Through careful packaging (for example, putting token MCC online to some unknown Shanzhai exchanges, inventing Galaxy online entertainment platform and cloud mining machine), they attracted investors to invest and promised high returns to investors. After investors take the t, MCC MLM organizations will ince investors to develop offline through other means< At present, MCC has not been detected by the police and is still active.

Top 3 of MLM: radar coin (ADAR)
radar coin appeared in 2014 and was exposed as a pyramid scheme by CCTV and public security in many places. It was once known as the largest online MLM project in China, but up to now, radar coin is still active
radar coin mainly relies on the Internet and community for promotion. As few people knew the concept of mining in the early years, radar coin was introced to store or promote the concept of mining, and it has continued to this day. As early as 2016, radar coin was stripped out, formerly known as VPAL (also pyramid scheme), because the source code of radar coin and VPAL is consistent, and radar coin uses the domain name of VPAL<
Top 4 of MLM coin: LCC (light cone)
LCC is a MLM coin scam that appeared around November 2017. MLM organization staff incited investors to take the initiative to invest and develop offline by manipulating prices and drawing big cakes. In just a few months, it expanded the scope of fraud to more than 10 provinces and cities in China, resulting in 50000-80000 people being cheated, The amount involved reached 4.9 billion yuan. At present, the top management of LCC pyramid marketing organization has been arrested by the police
Top 5 of MLM coin: Xinghan chain (SGC)
Xinghan chain was launched in September 2017. Like all MLM coins, Xinghan chain often holds various conferences at home and abroad to attract members and publicize Xinghan chain. Although the people of Xinghan chain pyramid scheme deliberately designed a complex algorithm in an attempt to cover up the fact of incing investors to go offline, it is just like mmm, the world's largest Ponzi scheme, and static income sold them out
in December last year, Xinghan chain was singled out as MLM. Five days later, it was suspected of MLM by Changsha crackdown office. In April this year, it was reported as MLM by many media platforms< Top 6: electric energy chain (EEC)
there is no official website, no white paper, nor shangshanzhai exchange. The only white paper with a little technical content is completely copied. The transaction is purely by manual transfer. If you transfer 1000 yuan, you will be charged 500, and if you transfer 2000 yuan, you will be charged 1000. At first glance, I thought it was charging QQ card. Buy 1000 coins a year, only 12 coins of income, to profit completely depends on the development of offline. It was exposed in May this year that it is a pyramid scheme< Top 7: popular money (TPC)
popular money appeared around may 2017 and was exposed as MLM by Hong Kong East weekly on February 4 this year. TPC has white papers, official websites, wallets, exchanges, points websites, game applications, and formal business licenses. It has a clear division of labor and strict discipline. No one would have thought that it would be a pyramid selling coin if it did not need to pay a threshold fee of 40000 yuan for one person and get a rebate for joining the army< In late March of this year, Datang launched illegal pyramid selling in the name of blockchain all over the country, and in just 18 days, it expanded its registered members to more than 13000, involving 31 provinces, cities and autonomous regions. Xi'an police set up a special team to destroy the case after receiving the report. According to the statistics after the incident, the amount of money involved in the case exceeded 80 million yuan, and this case has become the first "blockchain" mega network pyramid selling case in China
Top 9: Hero chain (HEC)
hero chain was listed on January 13 this year. Investors hesitated and repeatedly decided to report the case when people on the platform were cheated, the currency price plummeted and the market value evaporated by 90%. On March 14, 2018, the hero chain was put on file for investigation, and the relevant person in charge disappeared immediately after putting on file
Top 10: PMD (pyramid)
PMD was launched in June 2018, which completely imitated MCC's pyramid selling routine. After careful packaging, virtual cloud miner carried out fraud and hierarchical pyramid selling. Because PMD imitates MCC too much, it was discovered by the people of MCC MLM organization and exposed
top 11: WSC
WSC appeared around February this year. There is no white paper. The so-called official website is also composed of some scattered words and pictures. The staff of the pyramid marketing organization of Wenshang chain invented the cloud miner and launched the "welfare" of sending miner after registration to attract members. After the investors took the t, the staff of the pyramid marketing organization of Wenshang chain would pull the investors to the "business school" for centralized brainwashing training and development offline
Top 12: DK appeared at the end of 2015, which completely imitated the operation mode of MMM and learned from the experience of MMM crash, changed the realization time, promised 1% income and cheated investors. If investors think that the return of static income is slow, the people of the tic money pyramid marketing organization will encourage investors to develop offline, and set up a 20 layer pyramid hierarchical system, so that the leeks that have been locked up can trick new leeks into the pit. As the operation mode of tic is constantly changing, and its behavior is relatively low-key, so TIC has not been able to attract the attention of relevant departments and is still active
it's very tiring to move bricks. Please accept if you are satisfied!
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
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
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 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"

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

(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
