It's still there, alas!

kittykarate · 16/10/2019 14:31

Has anyone been listening to the BBC podcast about the missing Crypto Currency Queen?

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd84

It started off sounding like a straight forwards ponzi scheme, but by episode 5 has some MLM features evident.

RogueApostrophe · 16/10/2019 14:52

@kittykarate Having a listen now - very interesting!

hunzuncovered · 16/10/2019 15:29

Broke... when you don't hit the target will you be giving people their money back considering some woman just gave you her last ten pounds?

Or do you feel like you're owed that money anyway?

Whiterangey · 16/10/2019 16:02

I've changed my mind, he's an utter disgrace, letting someone give him their last tenner, that is awful.

Jonsey32 · 16/10/2019 16:25

You have to wonder about these people so rating though. Do they actually imagine that he’s going to turn his life around with a cannabis related job in Indonesia?!

Jonsey32 · 16/10/2019 16:26

*people donating

ticktock19 · 16/10/2019 16:27

@kittykarate - I'm listening, episode 5 is getting VERY interesting isn't it. The Dutch gentleman who reckons he makes 1 million euros a month 😳. Excellent work by the bbc

leasedaudi · 16/10/2019 16:28

Maybe I'd consider giving broke a tenner to go deal drugs in Indonesia 😂 would make for an amazing sob-umentary when he's inevitably jailed!

Jasmin82 · 16/10/2019 18:53

Did anyone watch Rip Off Britain last week?
In particular, Wednesday's episode.
Link: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00096cd/rip-off-britain-series-11-episode-18
Only found it because I was trying to find a different episode but couldn't remember which day it was.

Does anyone else want Broke to get his target and discover he’s being totally ripped off?

AntiBotics · 16/10/2019 20:51

Castle’s insta story has details from inside the Pro Planner. Just goes to prove that even top bots don’t know the difference between turnover and profit. This is basic business!!
Also lots of space to record your prospecting, how many times you’ve followed up and a nice blank space for you to record their why.

BSintolerant · 16/10/2019 21:03

Which scam was discussed on Rip Off Britain @Jasmin82 ?

Jasmin82 · 16/10/2019 21:29

@BSintolerant It was called VIP Crypto and was the first one looked into. Just the name (only first names of people in VIP were mentioned) of one of them jumped out at me.

I just wanna beat broke up at the moment, he has absolutely no shame...……….

BSintolerant · 16/10/2019 21:48

Thank you - I’ll watch that in my pockets of spare time. 😉

ticktock19 · 16/10/2019 21:53

I'm feeling the same way about Broke, I can't believe people would give their money to him. I watched his live earlier and he really is a joke....he rambles on and on about how unfair it is that he's been told he's no longer entitled to sickness benefits due to his mental health and broken back, 2 mins earlier though he's telling his audience how he 'smashed out a back workout in the gym' yesterday.

Sforsh49 · 16/10/2019 22:02

Broke's been doing his research he can't take some of his meds with him. Someone suggested he watched Banged Up Abroad......

Ladiva1971 · 16/10/2019 22:05

HAHA Hilarious Sforsh49

Ladiva1971 · 16/10/2019 22:19

he will be lucky if he gets out of The Wirrel, but if you peeps are feeling REALLY generous I will set up a GFM page so I can go on a round the world cruise as my mental health really depends on it. XX

Whiterangey · 16/10/2019 23:22

I'll give you my last tenner!

I still can't get over him accepting that. If I had no money and no food, I would take someone's last tenner to buy food for my children. Not for a jolly to Indonesia though. It's quite insane how he hasn't thought any of this through.

What about the language barrier? I'm sure in tourist areas there will be some people who can speak English, but he's not going to be able to talk to everyone he meets and explain a complicated cannabis stock thing that definitely isn't a scam to them.

In other news, Wig's forever Ponzi is almost ready to launch.

In 20 years from now, Wig's forever Ponzi will be almost ready to launch. I do wonder if it's possible that the scam is already done, the scam was just to get lots of 'leaders' to hand over lots of money to get top spots in the pyramid and whoever it is has just run off with the cash.

MLMsuperfan · 17/10/2019 02:18

Broke's mother thinks his plan is "insane".

Dcle · 17/10/2019 06:31

Hi, I'm sorry I don't keep up with this chat full time as I can't work out the people you follow but I had to come here to have a cathartic rant. My (previously!) very good friend has been an arbonne hun for a year now.
I tried to ignore the non stop idiotic posting "only idiots have real jobs etc" (yes nurses, teachers, carers), and the non stop training trips that I know she pays for but are set up as ooh look at me I'm in Vegas " but this week I have absolutely lost it (in my mind!)
Two posts, one about clean living arbonne products curing a fellow huns sons autism, and second one on only using dairy free products because milk causes cancer
I am at a complete loss on how to try and end explain to a (previously very intelligent) person that this is just out of order and profiting on fear. Should I try? I was hanging on thinking she'd come to her senses but she's so in love with the pretend crap I just don't think it will ever stop now. Sorry not really looking for anything other than space to vent

nakedavengeragain · 17/10/2019 08:43

Broke has deleted the post from last week where he boasted about joining the gym with a picture of £85 leaving his account. Another pic he posted and which is still there shows his snake oil order and the fact that he's spent £50 that day at a newsagent. Yet he's begging for cash.

Wig's forever scam is bloody hilarious. It was due to launch months ago. When questioned Wig and Shrek said 'only the leaders launch' and the public launch has been every bloody week since then but never materialises. I'm dying to see what it is. I'm betting on a bitcoin backed shitting coffee with cbd and aloe infusion.
