Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
Interesting isn't it that Ari won't show pictures of his house and car, but photo shop pictures. Makes one wonder what he is trying to cover up doesn't it. Hmm, do you think there is a chance, albeit a small one mind you, that Ari doesn't want to show his house because it is nowhere near what he likes to portray it is in his videos? Nah I'm sure it is for privacy issues, cough, cough. Don't think he is going to like my last post at behindMLM either.
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
The more I think about it, the more I believe that Ari and Simon Stepsys use the same due diligence skills in their review of programs. Both claim they have done their due diligence and found nothing wrong. They also have met with the owners and after the meeting have concluded this is the real deal and trustworthy.
And both when they go tits up claim they were duped and lied to and they would have never joined otherwise. Now stop and think about that excuse for a moment. They would have never joined if they knew they were being lied to or hadn't been duped. But if you do "REAL DUE DILIGENCE" you would know if you were being lied to or duped. But to make matters worse, they have this happen to them every time, not a one-off occurrence. And they both claim to be these great Internet Marketers and millionaire mentors. Hmm, makes one wonder if they are brothers with a different mother doesn't it.

Bitcoin Vault-Linked Mining City Ponzi Scheme Is Scam, Philippines SEC Says - E-Crypto News
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
There is the truth, then there is Ari's version of the truth. For example, he first claimed he and Darren didn't make a in Dunamis. Then he said this, and I quote:
"Dunamis never paid me one cent. Jeremie Sowerby stole everyone’s money and never paid Darren or I a dime except for mining proceeds and that lasted all of 4-6 weeks prior to him running off with all our money."
So he just didn't get paid what he thought he was going to make off his investment. But that's just half the story. Notice that Ari did not say that he did not get paid all of his referral fees he was to receive from all the people who signed up under him. Selective wording and truth-telling.
This is why it is laughable to me that he posts as THE TRUTH at behindMLM. Then he gets all upset when his lies and half-truths are exposed. Here's what he had to say about Mining City, and again I quote "Mining City – Real mining and easily provable" Now what is hilarious about that comment is here is what the Philippine SEC had to say about Mining City, and I quote:
"This DISCLAIMER-ADVISORY is prompted by numerous reports, inquiries, including posts and videos circulating on social media and video-sharing sites where it has been made to appear that MINING CITY or variations of its name such as, among others, PROPHETEK MININGCITY, OPC and other entities connected with it, have completed the SEC company registration process or have in fact been registered with the Commission.
This is apparently an effort by individuals or group of persons to mislead the public using such false representations to create a semblance of legality to the operations of MINING CITY for the purpose of enticing the public to invest in its scheme which was subject of an ADVISORY issued by the Commission on September 10, 2020.
Hence, contrary to these claims and for the guidance and information of the public, per records of the Commission,
MINING CITY, PROPHETEK MINING CITY, OPC or any variation of such name using the root word MINING CITY or any entity connected with it, are NOT REGISTERED with the Commission.
Likewise, contrary to said false representations, MINING CITY, PROPHETEK MIN ING CITY, OPC or any variation of such name using the root word MINING CITY or any entity connected with it, have not been issued a secondary license to solicit investments or offer securities to the public for whatever purpose. As such, MINING CITY, PROPHETEK MINING CITY, OPC or any entity related to MINING CITY, are NOT AUTHORIZED to solicit, offer, accept or take investments/placements from the public nor to issue investment contracts and other forms of securities. The SEC reiterates that promotion of Ponzi schemes like Mining City are ‘strictly prohibited by law and may be penalized by imprisonment and/or fine.’
Those who act as salesmen, brokers, dealers or agents of such unauthorized entities like the operators of the FB Page MINING CITY PHILIPPINES, BITCOIN VAULT INTERNATIONAL and Bitcoin Vault Philippines in selling or convincing people to invest in their investment scheme offered including solicitations and recruitment through the internet may likewise be criminally prosecuted and penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million pesos (P5,000,000.00) or a penalty of Twenty-one (21) years of imprisonment or both."
Since Ari doesn't believe the Philippine SEC that Mining City is doing anything wrong, I am shocked, shocked I tell you that he has not contacted them and told them how they got this all wrong and how Mining City is real and he can easily prove it. Wonder if anyone reported him to the Philippine SEC for promoting Mining City? Now wouldn't that be a hoot if someone did and Ari got his butt in a ringer by the Philippine SEC. I bet he would change his tune in a heartbeat and tell them how he was duped, conned, lied to and had no clue Mining City was a Ponzi. You know the BS that he always trotts out when one of his "real deals" goes tits up.

Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
Let me explain how all this really works. In every MLM program, whether a legitimate MLM or a Ponzi MLM, their lifeblood is people. So to kick things off, they have to get people who have huge downlines to join. To get them to join they pay the leader a higher referral fee for every person they bring into the program than the rank and file member will receive; including those in their own downlines in certain situations.
They also work out a deal that allows them to get their stated return they want out of the system before it will collapse or gets shut down by the authorities. Once they achieve this rate of return, they are out of the program. The only thing they have at risk is their referral commissions; which they are more than willing to give up. The secret is they don't tell anyone they have exited the program. Many times not even to people in their downline. A lot of the time their downline doesn't learn they are out of it until they come to them to promote their next can't miss, the real deal, totally legal (we all know the mantra) program. So they exit that plan and move to the new plan. Then it is rinse and repeat all over again. It is why they keep moving from Ponzi to Ponzi or MLM program to MLM program. They have bled all the money out of it so they have to move on to keep their cash flow flowing. It is also how they keep people in their downline and perpetuate the myth that their leader is a real "guru" and knows what they are doing. The only thing they know how to do is con/scam people out of their money. Every once-in-a-while even the major promoters get caught and can't get out before it crashes and burns. This is usually when they claim they were lied to, fooled, shocked, we know the drill. But they are telling the truth. They were lied to as they were told this would last long enough for them to get their seed money and stated return before it crashed and burned. They were shocked that it didn't last long enough for that to happen. What they lied about is the due diligence they did proving this was the real deal and legitimate.
The owners/admins of these programs also use the blogs and forums of so-called guru's (money news online, business for home, etc.) who review their plan and give it their thumbs up. They are paid for their review and running ads on their forum/blog for the program; and they also sometimes get a cut/position of the program for doing their review. Just like the promoters, they get a sweetheart deal that the regular members don't receive. It is why Business for Home keeps programs still active on their website even after they have stopped paying, or in some cases have done a runner, or were shut down by the authorities. They received advertising dollars so they keep them on the website as if nothing is wrong. The standard joke is that you can tell when the check didn't clear is when Ted takes the program off his website and stops promoting it.
Now you know the rest of the story.

Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
For someone who claims he wouldn't knowingly join a Ponzi, he knowingly takes credit for quotes of others as his own. Wonder how he will spin this one? At least he has more than one shirt.
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
It has been interesting and fun to watch Ari try to re-invent himself from Ponzi pimp to his contrite, I am a great guy, and straight shooter persona.
Ah for the good ole days when Ari also had his alternate persona Don Simone. When the heat got too much for Air and he couldn't placate his followers, Don Simone would arrive on the scene and threated everyone with a lawsuit if they didn't stop the Ari bashing. You see Don Simone's son was this great international lawyer, and he would take action against them if they didn't stop "slandering" good ole Ari. For those of you who don't know, the if you don't stop I am going to sue is the standard reply by Ponzi pimps to intimidate people into shutting up. Straight from the Ponzi playbook. For a long time it worked, then people started getting wise and realized it was just a lame veiled threat and no action would ever be taken. When this happened to Ari, Don Simone disappeared, and then Ari did what all Ponzi pimps do, he just deleted their comments and banned them from posting. Then when the Ponzi collapsed the purging began. Their FB pages would magically disappear, videos would be deleted and websites disappeared. Also straight from the Ponzi playbook.
It has never ceased to amaze me that these Ponzi pimps think by deleting and purging all of their videos and FB pages somehow prevents people from finding out their involvement in the Ponzi they were pimping.
All of us who expose these Ponzi's have already made copies of them and saved them on a different server so they aren't gone forever. They also forget that law enforcement can get a subpoena and obtain them. While they may be offline, they are not gone. Also all their websites, forum posts are available on the Wayback website.

Ari has claimed time and again this photo is a hoax, yet the admin of the website that posted the photo provided a means for it to be removed via contact with a lawyer. I posted it previously in this thread on account of me being a nice guy wanting to give Ari a hand up, not a hand out. Instead Ari does this song and dance about how fake it is and he will sue the people that post it. Odd

Ari forgot which persona he was. He was thinking he was Don Simone replying and not his real self. Otherwise he would have never, ever threatened a lawsuit. Why? Because he is a really good person and great guy. He only has others best interest at heart and wants to help them succeed.
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
Now the question is will Brank ever launch? At first we were told the programming would be done and it would launch the middle of February. Then it was pushed to March, and here we are in May and still no launch.
What was interesting is that initially Alan Friedland was doing the programming, but when it was publicly announced that he was under indictment by the CFTC, he was suddenly terminated. When Alan left, their trading specialist, Duane Noble also left, as did Chris Jones Hawk. They all jumped to NRGY, and all three were initially shown as co-founders, along with Ari in Brank; which Ari now denies he is a co-founder.
Seems Brank can't find a good programmer. Maybe they should try India where they are a dime a dozen, including gaming programmers. No word from Ari on how it is going. Makes one wonder what he and Darren are pimping now while they are waiting on the real deal, total legal Brank to launch.

With Ari he just thinks it has been 3 years he has been mostly off. Of course he is focused on Brank which still hasn't launched. Seems Daniel has been ill and has family issues. Guess it was too hard to find a backup programmer, but hey the story sounded good as to why it hasn't launched.
Maybe Ari has been fine-tuning his due diligence skills since he has failed miserably every time before. Actually he is scared we will find out what he is pitching next and expose him. What is funny is he wanted to connect with me on FB, but when I refused to "chat IM" with him, he bans me from being able to read his FB page. Interesting how he wants to talk privately but not out in the open on his FB page. Wonder what he is scared of?
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
I don't think Ari is going to like my last post in the Brank thread at behindMLM. Let's see how long it takes him to respond, and we know he will. What is truly hilarious is that Eagle assisted law enforcement in shutting down over a dozen of his Ponzi's he pimped. You know all those I did my due diligence, I met with the owner and this is the real deal and the admin is a straight shooter and honest BS he feeds in every Ponzi he pimps.
What is truly incredible is that Brank only has one developer/programmer and it is one of the founders, Daniel. You would think they would have at least 1 backup programmer in case someone got sick, family issues or died; but NO not Brank. I don't see this getting off the ground and if it does manage it to last less than 6 months. The demand is just not there. When you do all the hype buildup they did to launch and then nothing kills all your momentum. Almost impossible to get back once that happens. Still it is going to be fun to watch to see if it does launch and how they do.

Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
It's a good thing that Ari told us that he no longer promotes Ponzi's or I would have to think this was a Ponzi. Since we have his word that he has quit Ponzi's I really don't have to do any due diligence to determine if this is a Ponzi or not. I mean he does post as TheTruth, so he wouldn't dare lie, right? But then what do I know? I am a lousy investigator and detective. I know because Ari has told me so.
With Brank being delayed, I was wondering what his next great money-making idea he would be promoting, and true to form he is back to the only thing he knows...stealing other people's money on the promise of riches the easy way. Gave up promoting Ponzi's my assets.
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
On thinking further about Copy Paste Profits FOREX Ponzi, wasn't this started back in 2017 and then collapsed in 2019? Who's brought it back? Since Ari won't allow me to visit his FB page (I wonder why since he wanted to "chat" with me on FB) I cannot read his great review and learn all about this. I am sure this time it is totally legal, cough, cough.

Mining City "humiliated" by BehindMLM's fraud coverage
It's amazing how following a few simple rules again and again when performing due diligence allows some people to see what things are from day one.
Re: Ari Maccabi - Ponzi Pimp Is His Brand
Come on ribshaw, you are being too hard on Ari (theTruth) Maccabi. Air knows what is and what isn't a Ponzi. He has called out over 600 of them. He says mining city is not a Ponzi, so it has to be legit because he doesn't promote Ponzi's. We have his word on it. You are suggesting that Ari is lying. Shame on you.
OK sarcasm over. As far as I know to this day Ari still believes Mining City is not a Ponzi. His rationale? Why it is still in business and is paying, i.e. therefore it can't be a Ponzi. He and Darren Little did their due diligence and found nothing wrong, so it has to be legit mantra of his. You know just like he and Darren did their due diligence and met with the owner of Dunamis and it was the real deal and legitimate.
One thing for sure is he and Darren have been long out of it before now. They probably got out just as the Philippine SEC issued their warning and denial that any entity of Mining City had filed for approval or was about to receive approval from them to operate legally. He and Darren want to be as far away from this as possible for when it does implode they are not caught in the shrapnel. This is why I think he jumped into Brank in an attempt to give him legitimacy. Only problem is that Brank has still not launched. We were told the reason was their one and only programmer had been ill and was having family issues thus why the delay in its launching. The fact alone should tell you Brank is a joke and just another attempt to try to make something illegal look legal.
Of course now he is off to his next can't miss, the real deal, we have done our due diligence and it is legal opportunity for his gullible followers. From what I have been told by people supposedly in the know (since I don't know them I can't verify what they have told me is true), that Ari getting exposed at behdinMLM has really hurt his recruiting new people to join his programs and his image with his followers. Since I can't read his FB pages, I only have their comments this has been happening. I certainly hope it is true. The mere fact that there were numerous people exposing him made the exposure more credible.
