@Soapboxmom, thank you for posting the petition. I took the time to put every person on the list into excel to do some analysis. And Damn, some of the people from NikSams list make a sh!t load of money!

Alexander & Yelena Gorash (Fine Shop, LLC from Bonney Lake) are owed $37,891 for March alone.
The sum of what they owe promoters for February and Mar = 13,720,630

If of any value, here is the link to the Excel file with all members from the PDF with the amounts. Since I couldn't do an easy comma delimiter or something, I had to parse the text. So if a person has a owe amount for February but it is blank for Mar, it is because it was blank for February (paid) and is owe for March. I didn't have the time to fix that. Just my 2 cents. http://stashbox.org/1473581/TSP%20Owed.xlsx

So who's supposed to pay the money owed? And since the money wasn't really made legit, TSP can just claim that they didn't sell any music or whatever so they don't have to pay them? Sorry I don't know much about all this but I'm just curios because the website clearly shows that they sell music and the only way people would really find out about the whole getting paid to send emails is from others. All I'm trying to say is its not just TSP's fault, its also the people's fault for thinking they can make easy money sending a few hundred emails a day. Though I give a lot of props to the owner for thinking of something like this and having so many people fall for it.

Dude, stop calling clicking a button on a website as "sending email" that is what you did, no any emails.
Money are gone, if some will be recovered is only after criminal charges, but it will be long process (years).

If you do not want to loose money, do not look for easy money on online websites -- all are scams.

Good Agency to file a complaint about TSP is Federal Trade Commision.
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

More info: CRIMINAL ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN WITH FTC ASSISTANCE

Working with the FTC’s Criminal Liaison Unit, the USPIS and DOJ’s Office of Consumer Litigation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, has recently filed criminal charges against 14 individuals in connection with their involvement in business opportunity scams. The FTC has provided hundreds of hours of investigative support on these
cases and has assigned two of its attorneys to serve as Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys to work on these and other criminal matters.

In addition, recent criminal actions brought by the Office of Consumer Litigation have resulted in significant prison sentences for promoters of business opportunities whose schemes violated the FTC Act or the Franchise Rule, including:
•70 month sentence for Jeffrey Salley and four years’ probation for Terri Salley for criminal contempt. United States v. Salley (S.D. Fla. Jan. 7, 2005).
•84 month sentence for Dennis Vaughan for criminal contempt, wire fraud, and money laundering, upheld by Tenth Circuit. United States v. Vaughan (10th Cir. Dec. 21, 2004).
•125 month sentence for Robert Ferrera for criminal contempt. United States v. Ferrera (W.D. Mo. Nov. 30, 2004).

Best Regards,

Neither chapter 11 or chapter 7 can return you the money, chapter 7 is a liquidation - distributing $50k+bentley car (the only sum in the name of the company) across the creditors. You can already imagine it will be less than a penny on a dollar.

Personal assets of all who benefited (Pigida's, operators and those "promoters" who made profit) are not touchable under a corporate veil - that is what a bankruptcy for.

To make the scammers and the profiters personally responsible, a charge of wire fraud from authorities is needed.

Prosecutors do not arrest and charge someone solely because another person claims that a crime occurred and wants the offender prosecuted. Unless the police observe the crime, they will need to gather evidence and other information to recommend that the prosecutor charge the person with a crime.
Criminal investigation and fraud audit need to be done. Execution and levy is used to seize real estate, stock in corporations, and the debtor’s personal effects. The creditor can execute against the debtor’s property in possession of a third party.

To start investigation, authority need to have a complaint from the victim! No victim-no crime! The process begins when a victim, or one having knowledge of a crime, files a sworn statement with the proper authority known as a complaint. Once a complaint has been investigated, and the complaint is found to have probable cause, a crime can be charged. Remember, if there no victims, no complaints means no crime.

http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag116/Little_Roundman/scams/trend_zps1b3cf506.jpg

I see this assets classification "$0 to $50,000" was incorrect.

Lets fix it and stop quoting $50k
After going through court documents (and their accounting is a mess) I think I can estimate the best numbers there can be.

Ok, here are their debts:
7611

Notes: those are provided by TSP but only for months of Feb and March, we also already know great number of victims who lost money was not counted in it. The actual debt sum for a year of operation must be a way bigger.

here are the assets:

7612

Notes: They forgot to list a lawsuit against John Doe 1 of Florida ;)
Also not sure if they included their balances in payment processors (Contact, SolidTrustPay) under "Accounts Receivable" or they just hid it.
And frozen balance in credit card processor they blamed non payment with was a lie, not listed.
The proof of assets and bank statements TSP failed to show in court as requested.

Overall, the stated asset sum (under $412k) is slightly bigger than $50k but still not enough to cover debts (declared or undeclared).

Other interesting numbers:
* payment of $15,000.00 to Lary Feinstein for representing TSP in bankruptcy
* Income stated in 2013 was $4,373,768.30 in court docs but does not match a messy income schedule where it says NET PROFIT for 2013 is $885,739.39 (that schedule gave me a headache trying to make sense out of it)
* Income stated in 2014 YTD was $3,423,920.00

Both 2013 and 2014 stated income should make everyone wonder "So, where are the money?"

For those who demanded a proof of TSP being a scam, their disbalance sum (provided by TSP themselves) and non payment since december should be it,
do you think there is a better proof than this? ;)

Advance Fee Employment Fraud - Global Employment Alliance - a scam by Volodimyr Pigida

Begining in 2011 Pigida and others launched several websites:
glemail.com.ua
glemail.com
glemail.kiev.ua
glemail.ru

All were linked to a WA corporation Global Employment Alliance Corp. (ID: 603069929)
ran by a Notary Public and the President Volodimyr Pigida.
GEA was advertised on online forums and in Seattle russian-language newspaper.

The sites offered an employment for Russians And Ukrainians to come to U.S. (Alaska and Washington)
and work at sea-food processing plants with at least "$18 per hour" salary.
The work schedule was harsh: 7 days a week, with 8 hours of work and 8 hours of relax in intervals.
This job offer included free food and stay and processing all the paperwork required (work visas, medical certificates)
Cost of flying was supposed to be paid out from the paychecks.

Also were other miscellaneous low level jobs advertised with much better work schedule
paying at least $9.25 per hour
All jobs did not require the english language skills.

An applicant had to pay $600 contract fee, plus expenses for medical certificate, opening a debit card and a bank account, few processing fees.
All looked legit, a lot of paperwork, interviews in local offices at the end they were given a Pigida's notaralized contract and were told to wait.
There was a huge amount of applicants.

People been waiting for 1.5 years till they started getting mad and screaming at people who were working for GEA locally
and on the phones, till those disappeared and as a last word said "contact WA office / Pigida" (or said they had no idea , did not get paid or were also cheated and did not go to US)

And around november 2012 the GEA sites went offline.

As far as it is known there was not a single person who went to work to U.S.
And about that time Pigida got a new car and a house, and launched the TSP.
On apr 4 2013 , The corporation was terminated by Pigida.

There are criminal cases opened in Odessa and Kiev.

see the attached file which has an overview of sites and names,addresses,phones of all who were involved.

PS: Victims of GEA, contact me in private.

You can do it online here: https://ecf.wawb.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/autoFilingClaims.pl

or print out the B10 form and mail it in a traditional way,
or appearing in person to court's clerk.

Please prepare supporting file attachments such as record of sending money to TSP (screenshot or scan of a bank record)
Screenshot or financial records of money been paid to you, stacked in withdrawals or paid and what your current balance inside of TSP shows.

I am trying to help a friend who was named as a creditor by TSP and I had 2 quick questions that hopefully someone who has experience with this stuff can answer.

1) Section 3 of the proof of claim form it asks for the "last 4 digits of any number which the creditor identifies to debtor". What numbers are they asking about here? Is it the bank account number she sent her money to or is it the account number listed next to her name on the bankruptcy form?

2) What amount is she actually able to claim? Is it just the amount listed on the bankruptcy form or should she claim the amount she paid to buy in? There is about a $500 difference which is not an insignificant amount to her. She never received any payment from TSP if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

1) That number should be last 4 digits of your TSP ID number, that number is used in links to recruit.

2) Amounts to claim, it is up to you, I cannot make a decision or give the right advice in this:

A) If you just intend to recover losses it should be (money spent - money received)
B) If you go along with TSP story, you should claim all the money they "suppose" to pay you (unprocessed withdrawals + account balance)

I saw some filled A as a priority claim (if conditions met), and B as an unsecured claim,
but it has to be your decision or consult an attorney, i cannot decide for you on how much you claim.

In any case, there will not be enough money to satisfy all the claims, it does not mean you would ever receive that sum,
it is rather needed for court to establish the amount of losses and individuals who wants their money back.

TSP (debtor) will have a chance to dispute any claim, so be honest

If you not sure just put a number you believe TSP owes you in "Unsecured amount"
And attach the evidence of your claim

vkguy22 cause I guess TSP do track of all bad posting or something like that. and about that Nasty you guys suck she is losing house and you send her link to report?!?!?!? WTF send her money help her save her from loosing roof and room n bed. not link to report ... lol yea next time some one ask you something to eat get on computer and send him email with food pic's lol ok Nasty how much? how much you need? and about TYPING CAPS that means you mean it like you mean it same thing as lol, n, jk .....

Do you think I never saw such "victims", who is loosing their house, getting kicked out of apartment , urgently need to pay for an operation or they die ?

Do You think people just need to send her $4k she lost ? What lesson will it teach her? - exactly that you can easily get money from ponzi or press on someones feelings.
I saw one old lady who kept playing russian ponzis non stop, and when she was loosing she was posting crying videos on youtube how she needs an operation, 2 times Ponzi admins even sent her money after the scam :) till she became quite popular :)

Now lets take a look what our Nastya Sawyer was upto a month after she realized she lost:

7685
URL: http://vk.com/public48008964

... I slowly began to work with other programs, where the pay is a bit less, but I also invest
Please God , let those programs to continue working.
In music, I invested a lot, my husband invested, my sister and mom, I recruited friends , sad that I did not get bonuses,
so what can you do, no need for pity, need to move forward, you will return your money - you will see, if not with music than with others.

So you see? she was offered help and to do the right thing, she refused - does it look like she is desperate ?
Till this day she refused to complain, she only threatens TSP that she would if they do not pay her (like TSP cares at this point:) )

She is quite a HYIP player, but a noisy one.

PS: she also just lost in Wings Network Ponzi (http://www.realscam.com/f9/wings-network-next-big-pyramid-scheme-3133/) ,which she joined after TSP, do we need to send her money for that too ?

Thanks, Markiz, now i see, it was a court screw up.
As I heard that letter (dated May 9) was only hitting people's mailboxes on May 19 saying deadline is May 16.
Judge later (May 12) denied the speedy conversion to chapter 7, perhaps they could not stop the mailing company on time or sent the wrong (outdated) letter.

Please let everyone know, claims are still being accepted

A Proof of a Ponzi ?

You can read all the threads here and almost every one at one point has some individuals who jump in and say:
"There is no definite proof of a ponzi, stop hurting the reputation of the program"

What will be the definite proof ? as multiple red flags, lies from operators, violations of laws and even actions of authorities are not enough for some of them (there are still ASD and Zeek ponzis deniers , years after prosecutions blindly refuse to see the facts it was a ponzi).

The golden rule of the definite proof of a ponzi is - "Follow the money".
So how can you make a ponzi to disclose their financials to you?
- courts.
* You can wait if and when a ponzi will get prosecuted and financials or investigation results are known
* You can try to make a ponzi sue you for defamation, then you are entitled for a discovery and demand through court a ponzi to disclose all the financials to you.

As you see to get that 100% proof in the first case is too late - the game is over,
in second – exhausting and costly, when there are thousands of ponzis online , and almost none of them will dare to sue you because they will know how it will end.
Those who dare to sue are counting on you not to show up in court, scare you with legal expenses you might face, scare you with compensation sum they demand.
Sometimes they miscalculate on who they dragging to court and it will be the beginning of their end.

They will try to delay the case, giving incomplete financials, finding excuses why they need months to come up with them
- all of it just to make your fight in a court costly, they know you do not have millions which they have for lawyers (money are not theirs, money are stolen from victims). Their lawyers in most of the cases know they defending a ponzi, but do not mind getting huge bulk of ill-gotten money as payment for their services.

Ok, so, you got the access to financials, what would you need to look for?
* The money coming–in - income. Where is it from ?
* The money coming-out - expenses. To whom ?
* What been hidden from you

If you see all the money (or most of it >50%) came from investors/promoters/reps - the members, and there was not any equal or greater income from other sources - you have a ponzi proof. How would they intend to pay members deposits back + profits if their other income less than it or none ?

In the expenses, you would see that big chunk of it going back to members, so it is a money circulation scheme.
Look where else they were going. They might have huge salaries for directors/employees, some not clearly defined big expenses or might even be hiding their looting
by hiding themselves as members/reps or all of it combined.
Of course most of financials they will provide are flawed so you have to verify with each institution, dig through each bank statement and transaction.
You can also try to find if a ponzi "company" has more financial accounts they hid from you. Examine big sums going out to strange places.

So do you expect the scambusters to go that far after each new ponzi which shows up almost every day ?
Why don't you just listen when the red flags and ponzi operator's lies been pointed to you ?
Some scambusters here have decades of experience, can smell a ponzi miles away, in 5 minutes of analyzing the site can tell you right away it is a ponzi.
Look at what's been told here years ago about past ponzis, were the scambusters ever wrong ?

Let's take a look at their 2013 Earning report they (themselves) filled in court on May 23 - DOC40 (attached),
Income:

7693

What are we missing here ? Exactly, there were no any money coming in from anywhere but members buying (investing in) "packages",
and some $37k of sales of music (which is also under big question who was buying it and what for, the stores music was sold were run/controlled by Pigida)
Let's take a minimum possible yearly profit of 400% on each package (as TSP advertised), to pay on $5,401,001.50 invested they need to generate
$21,604,006.00 at least (even if they do not make any profit for themselves) in outside revenues,
do you see any other income that can cover it (even if $37k music sales were real retail sales)?

Now Expenses:

7694

So they paid $4,715,483.10 back to some members in profits, still less than they collected, a ponzi needs to pay to suck more people in, the #1 excuse to invest in a ponzi is - "It Pays".
Royalty of $1,589,698.11 Pigida paid mostly to himself as the music in so called packages was primary his.

Yeap, over 2013 now they claiming a loss of $557,599.49

3 rd point, what's been hidden from you:
They still did not file and claim it will take weeks to provide the earning report for 2014.
Was the $1.5m all the Pigida got out of it in 2013? Did he also had some of his own members accounts and kept withdrawing for himself?

To know that, you have to dig through all the bank statements and spot any strange thing, big sums going out,
the findings are just too much to go over here, but some interesting are:
* Pigida paid with company funds for personal expenses, restaurants, furniture, VIP club membership, I think $90k Bentley car was too big not to notice that is why he gave it up in bankruptcy,or maybe he does not like that car anymore :)
* there were sums of money transferred (total $133k) to hidden/undisclosed Bank of America account which did not belong to any member or expense.
* There were money transfers to private trusts formed by Volodimyr Pigida and Marina Bondarenko totaling $2m, and these trusts bought 2 real estate properties
* There were money ($300k) transferred to a corporate lawyer company who now also joined the case, but that transaction was not disclosed.
* There are 5 more companies registered in WA by Pigida and Bonadrenko, which still need to be looked at.

And on top of it they now claim they do not have accurate accounting.

What else we can find from latest bank statements ?
We can see the names and bank accounts of most of the shills, the buddies and big ponzi pimps were still getting paid big sums of money even in April,
when most investors did not receive a penny since december.

From other things i can see so far:
Pigida paid big (>$100k) sum of money (your money) to a branding company and lawyers to fight us (scambusters)

Sum the amounts of money Pigida spent undisclosed and disclosed, where those money came from if a company was constantly loosing money? Can you believe an earnings report ? Did he hid all that money he stole in "Promoter Commissions" filled section. All of that needs to be studied and examined not relying on the data provided by Pigida,His lawyers, His "employees".

So What will happen next? I can tell you only one thing , we are just in the beginning of very long story, do not expect a fast resolution.
I am still disappointed: why no TSP shill wants to fight me anymore?

So is it enough proof for you of a 100% ponzi fraud?
If not, well, RealScam has a motto: "Is it,or isn't it? You decide" :RpS_smile:

Dear Nik, seems like you show yourself as a Mister know it all!

anaana. as you are a new poster I would ask you to deal with the issues raised and not attack the person raising them. Please look up "ad hominem"

However, I don't remember you or anyone else contacting me and offering help or anything whatsoever!
No one suggested to try and recover the money!

So what? What is the point you are making here? why is it in any way relevant ( and it might be I just can't see why) whether anyone contacted you to offer help?

Now, since you decided you can interfere in my life,

How did Nik "interfere with" your life in the sense of perventing you from exercising any rights you have?

decided on my behalf what I do right and wrong, maybe tell us what exactly you personally do for a living aside from sitting here and writing your little stories.

Again what does it matter what other people do for a living? Can you deal with the issue of the thread and remain on topic and forget about personal attacks?

Yes, I lost money . And it was my decision at the time. I believed in the company I worked for. Whether I was right or wrong, it was MY decision.

So what? Why is you losing money or being conned relevant to this discussion? I accept it is relevant but you might have a totally different view as to why it may be relevant.

And I have no problem telling the truth. You seem to know how to get in touch with me, so go ahead! What is it that You get my name involved in your little stories here.
Get in touch, or just get a life man

Well all you need do is PM the person. I mean the forum has a personal message system you can use if you so wish. Just click on the posters name and select "Private Message" and send one should you wish.

Dear Nastya, nobody was intervening with your life.
I was told you been contacted and offered to complain to authorities as you became a victim of a scam
and now you have vacate your premises with kids (http://www.realscam.com/f8/trend-sound-promoter-2852/index9.html#post70170)

You told the person to leave you alone and mind their own business.
So what happens next, you joined an another ponzi scheme - Wings Network , which was already in it's end.
And to this day you still actively promoting it (or as we call it ponzi-pimping).
And i see you also joined few russian ponzis.

Does any of that look like a person is desperate ?

Now about "your business" and "my business":

What you call the business - playing ponzis and soliciting more victims to it, that is a crime , even in Australia.
Even if you strongly believe it was not a ponzi, burden of responsibilities for people you lured is still on you.
Oh you think it is ok playing ponzis as long as you win ?
Well, your profits are ill-gotten, stolen property of future victims, do i and laws make it clear ?
Some jurisdiction also see investing in ponzis as "supporting/financing criminal activity" and you can get tried as a conspirator.
Do I need to bring bunch of cases here when people like you (promoters) went to jail and opeartors did not ?
That is promoters fault for millions being scammed online,
not as much as a guy with the site who started the scheme (Ponzi admin).

About my business, if i wanted to discuss my business i would post about it online (as you did about yours).
In this case my business is try to bring all the responsible to justice.

Thanks for stepping by.

PS: Yes, you are right , I am mister know-it-all, in your type of "business"

Which would fine and dandy, except you tried to recruit others into TSP, just as you are continuing to try to recruit others into the other fraudulent schemes you are promoting on your website.

In fact, there's a school of thought which exists that considers promoters like you to be as culpable for the increase in internet based fraud as the owners and organizers of schemes like Trend Sound Promoter.

(For Russian speakers)
On November 6th 2013, a local Radio station in Seattle aired this 1 hour radio show in russian language.
The theme of a program was financial pyramids/ponzis. They did not name which program they were talking about,
but it is clear they were discussing TSP as dumb-clicking on a button for 40 cents was discussed.

Interesting things to note, a Pastor of a slavic christian church said he was approached to endorse this scheme to the church and refused.

Overall I'm very disappointed on how much work there needs to be done as the general feeling was in the studio that it is OK to play ponzis if you want to. Even specially invited "specialist" on ponzi schemes saw generally nothing wrong with it.
And when the pastor was asked if it violates Christian believes, he was not strong on it.
What did happen to "Thou shalt not steal" ? do not get any doubts that benefiting on other's losses is nothing but a theft.

The radio hosts were even afraid to call the criminals and their scam by name.

Here's what we know so far about Timofei Grabciuk:

Timofei Grabciuk's Facebook page is facebook.com/timofei.grabciuk (http://facebook.com/timofei.grabciuk)
Timofei Grabciuk is married to David Kaletnik's sister, Yuliya Kaletnik. Proof (http://s30.postimg.org/pymtspe9t/Screenshot_85.jpg).
On rang.com.ua/glemal.com.ua (http://rang.com.ua/glemal.com.ua), people claim that Timofei Grabciuk represented TSP in Moldova.
Currently, Timofey Grabciuk is active in another scam, called Swiss Halley (http://swisshalley.com).
Swiss Halley didn't see much activity until April-May, 2014, about the time when TSP declared bankruptcy.
Like TSP, Swiss Halley uses religion to lure people and is active within Slavic & Slavic-American people.

This is not a question about Swiss Halley, but rather about Timofei Grabciuk and TSP. Does anyone know any more info on him and if in fact if TSP is behind Swiss Halley?

No, no connection at all, Grabchuk is also very active in TelexFree scam, and in several others, just a serial ponzi pimp who thinks of himself some kind of "Network Marketer".

PS: also he is an idiot to believe that TelexFree will continue on :)

The price of furniture and furnishing was overpriced by TSP, saying it is worth of $12k , but in fact most of the furniture belongs to Regus,
and there is nothing really of a value, recovering money from it might be more expensive than the sum, it was decided to abandon. (DOC104)

Yes, some of the committee leaders read and post here, the committee was formed by US trustee while it was under chapter 11.
3 leaders were elected, and 2 lawyers appointed.

One of the leaders I can say is acting very strange, i would recommend the creditors to think carefully who they choose as their foremen.
If he was a "leader" to recruit to the scheme does not make him a good leader to fight for your interests.
And do attend the meeting of creditors on Jul 8, if you are near Seattle.

One of my relatives just got this letter from "Ad hoc Committee" a.k.a. Yaroslav (Slavic).

We do apologize about the last e-mail that it was unclear, hopefully you'll take time to read this one.

We are not Trend Sound Promoter AMG Corp.

Ad hoc committee personally believe TSP owes to creditors between $45M to $200 Million. We also believe, there should be at least $15M to $30 Million hidden somewhere by TSP Management, and if we are correct and those money do exist we need to fight for those money.

Personal story by Ad Hoc Committee Chairman - Yaroslav (Slavic) Drozdyuk.
In March 2013. My friend introduce me to TSP. After analyzing TSP I had a lot of questions. I was introduced over the phone to Vladimir the owner of TSP and Vladimir sold me on TSP. My wife borrowed some money and opened an account for herself and purchased $1775 in March, 2013. Also my wife put in a request to cash out her retirement fund. In June when the check arrived from my wife's retirement. My wife purchased $7090 of packages. We were cashing out minimum amount possible just to cover our bills and food and using remaining balance to buy more packages. In February 2014. I used all my income ($2,123), to purchase more packages. That was our last package purchase because after February we were trying to do qualifications. Yes, we spend a couple hundred dollars to do qualifications. We did not receive any checks since March 1, 2014.
In September of 2013 we had to borrow $5,000 to purchase a second vehicle, hoping to give it back early part of 2014. In April. I was forced to sell the second vehicle for ½ the value so I can have some money to get through the next couple months. As of today we have a debt of over $5,000 related to TSP, Plus $6,000 loss for emergency sale of the car. Today not able to pay our bills or rent on our lease to purchase, that we paid down payment/invested over $45k into the home, where we were proud to call in our home. Thanks to TSP, its no longer our home.

As I look back I ask myself why would God want me to get involved in a company that would file bankruptcy. I strongly believe in my answer. It is to fight for those that cannot fight for themselves. I ask you to support me in this fight for the money that TSP owes us to the end. Don't allow TSP management getaway Using chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Around the 22th of April, Couple of people and I started creating a letter to TSP with demands for the company to start making payments and remove ridiculous qualifications. Unfortunately, due to writing the letter, interpretation and an approval from the group on the letter it took a couple of days to prepare the letter. In the morning of April, 28th we had people from the Seattle area to mail the letter to TSP. Unfortunately, that morning we found out that TSP had filed bankruptcy and we had to stop the mailing of that letter.

Around the 26th of April. I had a dream. My dad and I came to Vladimir and was demanding from him to pay the money he owes to people. In a dream I was thinking why he is not threatening me but instead is silent and thinking. By the way in a dream my dad had a weapon I had no weapon. After a while his wife walked in and he told her, to be a hostage while he goes and gets the money that we are demanding. He walks out to another room. About a minute later my father told me to look out the window and I saw him with a huge duffle bag full of money. The money was sticking out all over the bag and he was heading to the vehicle like as if he's trying to escape. My dad and I grabbed him and the bag and dragged him back into the house. That was the end of the dream.

On 7th of May. Sarah Flynn attorney for US Trustee office. Invited me to join on a conference call where 6 other creditors were present. Sara's question was. do we want to create an official unsecured creditors committee. She gave a short explanation of the role of the committee and everybody voted to have a committee. And that is how the official committee was formed on May 8th. Appointment of Unsecured Creditors' Committee filed in court by Sarah Flynn. Our first responsibility as a committee was to find an attorney to represent us and get all the paperwork in order. As a committee members we are not getting paid, it's a volunteer position. We have interviewed couple attorneys. Having a hard time finding a good quality attorney that actually knew how to work with the committee. I took an a responsibility, to search on a national level. Yes we have found a perfect attorney to represent the committee. After multiple meetings, all the paperwork was prepared, a plan was put together how to move forward in chapter 11 bankruptcy. To our surprise TSP filed a conversion into chapter 7. It took everybody into panic mode. On June 2nd the bankruptcy was converted into chapter 7. When a case gets converted into chapter 7 the official Committee no longer exist. And the attorney for the official committee no longer has a client. I was asked by multiple creditors to attend creditors meeting on June 4th. When I showed up at federal court building for creditors meeting. I and 30 other creditors were told the meeting was rescheduled. I asked all the creditors that came, to the meet me in front of the court building outside. I explained to everyone that was there. What actually happened and who filed the conversion for chapter 7. I also explained to people who I am. That committee no longer exists. If people would love to create Ad Hoc committee. Everybody that was there voted for the Ad Hoc committee.

Thank you

Approved by Ad Hoc Committee.

Do not listen to that lunatic - Yaroslav.

Chapter 7 is what gets some of the money back and not chapter 11 as he wanted it to convert back.

Yaroslav, from this point there is only chapter 7 liquidation and criminal prosecution on TSP, no any other way,
if you believe there is more money hidden than there is you have to complain to federal agencies who have more power to investigate and follow the money, if you know where , notify trustee. You still believe it was not a ponzi, and that is your main mistake, the money have gone, like really gone, paid to people like you and to admins. There was never ever any substantional outside income, all where just promoters own money circulating in the scheme.

Also, Yaroslav, maybe you should explain your real interest of trying to control the commitee? why you tried to bring Pigida's close people on board ? How much money you deposited and withdrew (do not lie the numbers are there :) ? How many people you recrruited to TSP ?
Your connection to other ponzi pimps (Timofey Grabchuk from Moldova) ? How you banned people in chat who were telling things you did not want to hear ? How you ran your own ponzi scheme on yayclub ?

TSP says they owed you only $2k and you never filed a claim to court.

And stop panicking and address the victims, it is just a beginning.

Do not donate any money to Yaroslav , for any purpose, he was noticed recruiting to other ponzis and still does.

If you need to vote-in committee leaders, do it responsible and attend the creditors meeting on Jul 8th.

If anyone donated money to Yaroslav's paypal (as he said: to hire a lawyer), request him to reverse it, if he refuses
file a dispute with Paypal.

As of fillings in bankruptcy court today:
The trustee requested TSP lawyers from past case (TSP vs. Malinin and Drozhzhin)
to surrender all records on that case (DOC119)

PS: that case was suspended due the bankruptcy.

Niksam, why are you so against Yaroslav? It's seams like he's the only one trying to do something about it and get victims involved. I haven't heard anyone else doing anything. He's not trying to control this himself but he want to get a handful of people who can help out with this and advise on what to do or even take control. Someone has to step up. Doing something last minute will be too late. What/who are you waiting for?

NikSam

07-03-2014, 12:55 AM

I do not know what he is trying to do, but definitely not helping.
He spreads panic, wrong advices, collecting unauthorized donations.

He would help way more if he just let the trustee do her job.
Everything is going as it supposed to be and he is freaking out and his acts might discredit how the committee is seen.
TSP is not getting out , everything in their name will be distributed to creditors.

If he wants a lawyer he can go and get one himself, not solicit other creditors for money and not for nonsense purposes as he
said before "to make TSP continue to work" or " to convert it back to chapter 11" - that is impossible and works against you.

As of his still "making money online" part , I am ready to close my eyes for the sake of committee, do not push it , i have a lot to tell about him.

And be smart, or you will have Pigida or Bondarenko as leaders of your committee

Yaroslav, who do you think is gonna pay and where money will be taken from for you and your lawyers "getting information" ?
Do not you get it , the more people hired , less money left in the estate, and your lawyers as any others, do not care where money came from. Chapter 11 also opens the door for Bondarenko and Pigida suck the estate and waste it on their lawyers.

Keep dreamin, you not gonna get chapter 11.

As on other cases (taking over real estate), Bondarenko is denying all accusations and claims the transfers were of equal contribution :)
wonder what equal contribution she could possibly give worth $2m, and prove it.
Is she trying to say that her serving as a freaking vice president of a fraudulent company is worth $2m on top of $70k she already received in salaries?
These scammers should rot in jail and never see a light of day again.
September 5th will be a pretrial hearing on the house and apartment.

Still valid, if she need to correct her claim can do it at court website: https://ecf.wawb.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/autoFilingClaims.pl

On the first screen, type the case number (14-13193) and type your name exactly as on the original (or leave the name field empty to list all creditors and pick yours)

On claim entry screen , check the box indicating that this claim is an update of the past.

As some are having problems filling the claims online, there is a traditional method, you can type and print the B10 form,
and mail it and supporting pages to the court or bring in personally and give it to the court's clerk.
A minimal sample of information you need to provide see in pictures.
Also include a printed evidence of your claim such as the unpaid Invoices from TSP, bank wires or statements of depositing the money,
screenshots of your TSP account back-office. (Those must be copies as you will never get them back) If any of your evidence pages contain personal identifiable or financial numbers
(social security, bank account number, credit card number, driver license or state or government ID) you must redact it (make it unreadable) leaving only last 4 digits.

Так как у некоторых не получается подать иски онлайн, можно распечатать форму B10 и послать ее вместе с распечатанными доказательствами по почте или лично принести в суд клерку. Внизу, в картинках можете посмотреть минимум информации которую надо сообщить. Также вложите в конверт доказательства вашего иска (неоплаченые ТСП инвойсы, распечатки переводов вкладов, скриншоты вашего ТСП лигного кабинета, итд.). Все страницы должны быть копиями так как вы не получите их обратно.
Если распечатки содержат персональные или фин. номера (социальное страхование, номер банковского счета или карты, водительские права или документы выданные гос. органами) обязательно закрасьте либо отредактируйте чтобы было видно только последние 4 цифры.

My friend got a letter from the bankruptcy court. It is 3 pages long and is a "Notice Of Filing of Proof of Claim by Debtor or Trustee". It list 3 people who she has never meet before.

TO: Creditor [NAME]

The Debtor or Trustee in this case has filed a proof of claim in your behalf, pursuant to Fed. R Bankr. P 3004

It doesn't look like the 3 people listed on the documents are related or even live at the same address so I am not sure how all three ended up in my friends mailbox. I also don't understand why the debtor or trustee would be submitting claims on creditors behalf. Is this something to be concerned about or is this just a mix up at the courts.

I guess a screw up by a mailing company,
were the names of extra creditors (initials): AL, LN, TP ?

if yes, do not bother returning them back to court, they will realize.

maybe they sent those 3 to everyone ? like a standard procedure if a Debtor (TSP) ads a creditor themselves all other creditors should be notified.

Do you think I never saw such "victims", who is loosing their house, getting kicked out of apartment , urgently need to pay for an operation or they die ?

Do You think people just need to send her $4k she lost ? What lesson will it teach her? - exactly that you can easily get money from ponzi or press on someones feelings.
I saw one old lady who kept playing russian ponzis non stop, and when she was loosing she was posting crying videos on youtube how she needs an operation, 2 times Ponzi admins even sent her money after the scam :) till she became quite popular :)

Now lets take a look what our Nastya Sawyer was upto a month after she realized she lost:

http://www.realscam.com/attachments/f50/7967d1401295615-trend-sound-promoter-tsp_nastia_is_back.jpg
URL: deleted (http://vk.com/public48008964)

So you see? she was offered help and to do the right thing, she refused - does it look like she is desperate ?
Till this day she refused to complain, she only threatens TSP that she would if they do not pay her (like TSP cares at this point:) )

She is quite a HYIP player, but a noisy one.

PS: she also just lost in Wings Network Ponzi (http://www.realscam.com/f9/wings-network-next-big-pyramid-scheme-3133/) ,which she joined after TSP, do we need to send her money for that too ?

Dear Nik, seems like you show yourself as a Mister know it all!
However, I don't remember you or anyone else contacting me and offering help or anything whatsoever!
No one suggested to try and recover the money!
Now, since you decided you can interfere in my life, decided on my behalf what I do right and wrong, maybe tell us what exactly you personally do for a living aside from sitting here and writing your little stories.
Yes, I lost money . And it was my decision at the time. I believed in the company I worked for. Whether I was right or wrong, it was MY decision.
And I have no problem telling the truth. You seem to know how to get in touch with me, so go ahead! What is it that You get my name involved in your little stories here.
Get in touch, or just get a life man

Oh Dear Nastya, why did not you tell me you are wanted in U.S. for cash gifting ? :)

So all your sisters last names are Ivanenko (Иваненко) , as yours :)

Now I see why you did not want to complain to authorities on a U.S. based ponzi :)

Poor Your kids. I see you still playing / promoting ponzis :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdnO4anXhi0

And after this one scammed, you moved onto StrarsInvest ponzi.

So are you and your kids being kicked out from home again ?

9 years in hiding, heh ;)

Hi. I recieved a 1099- MISC for 2014 but I did not recieved any money for them for 2014, so now we have to pay taxes for that???

You should sit down with a professional not take my advice. But...

Any "earnings" you have even if you did not put them in your pocket are taxable. Assuming you put $100 in the bank, any interest is reportable as income even if you leave it in the account. Same applies here.

1. If it is a small amount I would probably include it in income to save hassle.

2. A larger amount you can explore "theft losses" which is subject to a 10% floor on income, see 1 for my thinking on this.

Help for Victims of Ponzi Investment Schemes (http://www.irs.gov/uac/Help-for-Victims-of-Ponzi-Investment-Schemes)

3. This is really where you need a professional, I can only offer my thoughts.
A. File a note and supporting documentation along with the 1099 indicating this was a scam, now in bankruptcy and you don't truly have this income.
B. Find a way to net your gains and losses to zero out your income. Again, I would have supporting documentation as to why you are doing this.

If I had to guess, and I do because I am not going to research it, the IRS would say report the income this year and when you can declare a loss either amend your return or see if the loss can offset any other source of income.

Help for Victims of Ponzi Investment Schemes

The IRS provides two items of guidance to help taxpayers who are victims of losses from Ponzi-type investment schemes.

Revenue Ruling 2009-9 (http://www.irs.gov/file_source/pub/irs-drop/rr-09-09.pdf) provides guidance on determining the amount and timing of losses from these schemes, which is difficult and dependent on the prospect of recovering the lost money (which may not become known for several years).
Revenue Procedure 2009-20 (http://www.irs.gov/file_source/pub/irs-drop/rp-09-20.pdf) simplifies compliance for taxpayers by providing a safe-harbor means of determining the year in which the loss is deemed to occur and a simplified means of computing the amount of the loss.

For an overview of this guidance, see IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman's March 17, 2009, testimony before the Senate Finance Committee (http://www.irs.gov/uac/Commissioner-Shulman%27s-Senate-Finance-Testimony-on-Ponzi-Schemes-and-Offshore-Tax-Evasion-Legislation) on tax issues related to Ponzi schemes.

Sorry, I am not qualified to give you a tax advice, there is a posibility to offset that income with your claim in court losses, you should contact a your state licensed CTP/CTA.
Alternatively, you can file for an extension in April, so you will have an extra half year to see if things will be clearer.

Paid comments and likes, can see those on every his videos. There are "services" to do it with hacked and bot accounts.
Same was done on TSP facebook.

... It will help to recover our stolen money.

The bankruptcy case is moving slowly, At this point the time is on our side, more chances for regulators and DOJ to prepare the case and intervine in mismanaged bankruptcy case on time (TSP lawyers and accountants keep eating whatever was recovered so far which is not much)

Apparently the assigned trustees are not experienced dealing with the ponzi schemes.
There should be a receivership process to recover all fraudulent transfers (money paid to winners), only that way money could be recovered.

Please have patience, the justice must prevail. I warned everyone it will be a very long (years) process.

Please cooperate with all regulatory agencies and keep asking them what else they need and bring them more victims with complaints to raise the priority of the case.

Today in court,

the matter is of recovering the house as a fraudulent transfer.
2 day Trial is scheduled for 09/18/2015 and 09/22/2015 at 09:30 AM

1. Trustee statement update on assets (http://www.archive.org/download/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270.41.0.pdf):
10417

2. Trustee motion for summary partial judgement (http://www.archive.org/download/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270.39.0.pdf).

3. CPA declaration (http://www.archive.org/download/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270.42.0.pdf):
(he discovered more hidden money transfers to Pigida and to companies controlled by him)

4. Interrogatories of Bondarenko and Pigida (http://www.archive.org/33/items/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270.43.1.pdf) (those scammers claim that $1.5m they paid for the house are licensing fees his one company owed to his other company before the insolvency, therefore its not the money of creditors. + Lots of lies, pretending like their other companies are not related to them)

5. Part 2 - 196 pages of more of interrogatories and evidence (http://www.archive.org/33/items/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270/gov.uscourts.wawb.603270.43.2.pdf)
(I believe the licensing fees invoices from one Pigida's company to another shown are fabricated and made post bankruptcy filling, even if they were real it was pure scam and not real licensing fees for any his crappy music)

Marina P. Bondarenko's maiden name is Anishchenko.
Marina P. Anishchenko was born in Krimiya, Ukraine on December 29, 1982 to parents Pavel Anishchenko and Nina Anishchenko. They immigrated to the USA and settled in Spokane WA. She married Andrey Bondarenko in 2004 and then had an affair with Vlad Pigida. Then they started scamming people together.
Since 2015, Volodimyr Pigida and Marina Bondarenko have resided in Miami, Florida. Marina is now pursuing her singing career going by the name of Marina Ixora.

Anyway, the reason for my post is because I noticed on the bankruptcy petition Trend Sound Promoter submitted, relatives of Marina P. Bondarenko a/k/a Marina P. Anishchenko a/k/a Marina Ixora are owed quite a lot of money.

Most of the relatives are members of Marina's immediate family and their address is 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane, Washington 99224
Pavel Anishchenko - $8,249.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's father**
Pavel Anishchenko - $4,000.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's father**
Pavel Anishchenko - $3,561.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's father**
Yevgeniya Anishchenko - $1,910.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's sister**
Irina Anishchenko - $1,880.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's sister**
Irina Anishchenko - $8,170.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's sister**
Yuriy Anishchenko - $883.00 - 3909 Flint Ln. Spokane WA 99224 ** Marina's brother**
Nina Pokhodun - $7,000.00, 1610 S Deer Heights Rd apt J33 Spokane, WA 99224 - ** Marina's sister** Her maiden name is Nina Anishchenko. She married Gennadiy Pokhodun in '09 & became Nina Pokhodun.
Gennadiy Pokhodun - $5,008 - 1610 S Deer Heights Rd apt J33 Spokane, WA 99224 - ** Marina's brother in law** Married to Marina's sister, Irina.
Yana Anishchenko - $1,200.00 - 5825 N Malta St Newman lake, WA 99025 **Marina's cousin**
Liliya Marshalkin - $3,079.00 - PO BOX 141804 Spokane, WA 99214 ** Marina's sister**

There is no way Marina's father (Pavel Anishchenko) or her brothers and sisters didn't know it was a scam (pyramid scheme). I bet they all knew of Marina's scheme, made a lot of money and now the bankruptcy estate has $44,940.00 listed in debt owed to Marina's family members, when they made hefty profits.

Hi guys, it's time to update this post for anyone seeking more info.

I'm Timofey Drozhzhin, the person who was originally sued by Volodymir Pigida, Marina Bondarenko (Ixora), and their workers, for raising awareness of the Trend Sound Promoter (TSP) Ponzi scheme.

You may remember in 2014 I disclosed the insights.

Over 6,000 people have invested into TSP. TSP brought in over $20,000,000 in the past year...
Source (https://realscam.com/f50/trend-sound-promoter-3268-post73527/#post73527)

Today, the United States Department of Justice has officially confirmed my numbers.

...Defendants solicited and obtained in excess of $22 million from approximately 6,750 individuals located throughout the world in slightly over one year of operation.

More precisely, I was taken to court for calling TSP a Ponzi. TSP even falsely sent out messages, claiming they won the case, proving they're not a Ponzi and went as far as threatening people that call them a Ponzi. Well...

The United States Department of Justice is officially classifying TSP as a Ponzi.

In fact, Trend Sound Promoter was a Ponzi scheme...

You can read more on the official website of United States Department of Justice (https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/united-states-vs-pigida-et-al-case-number-18-cr-00294).

Going Forward

This case is not over yet. It'll likely continue for several more years. Here are a few points I'd like to make, going forward.

Do not be afraid to talk about Trend Sound Promoter, openly. This was not the only alleged scam Pigida and Bondarenko were involved in. Others included fake work visas (glemal), scamming in trucking and even scamming their own web developers with fake pay promises.

We cannot take back the innocent people that have lost their money, or the three people that took their lives as a result of this scam. These are real people and these people had real children. But, you can talk about this openly, to protect others from getting hurt.

I've met people who are physically shaking and scared to talk because of the threats form Pigida. It's very real. I personally been there and received death threats by Pigida. Don't be afraid to speak up, and most definitely file a police report. People like this need to be held accountable.

Won't lie, it did baffle me that the people working for TSP have never apologized. Some event went on creating other scams... weird how it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As for me, I didn't gain anything through this lawsuit, maybe some thick skin. I never invested anything with TSP. The only thing I lost was the expenses paid to protect my family from the fraudulent lawsuits and constant death threats. But inside, I truly am happy that I've done a selfless thing by helping people avoid a scam and save the potential lives that could of been lost. Trend Sound Promoter was intended to be a much, much bigger scam than what it ended up being.

... And for the hero RealScam Admins - Thank you for doing this.
