Purchasing virtual currency has a 512-fold upside potential, high profits can be obtained by recommending offline, and the daily matrix can automatically "slide" the profit... Recently, with the recovery of the Bitcoin market, a kind of "virtual currency" and "web3. 0", "Metaverse" and other popular concepts, the "Forsachi 2.0 Force Coin Metaverse Project" has rapidly spread and expanded on major social platforms. The project claims to be a global open source, public blockchain platform with smart contracts, sells a "token + matrix" package to investors, and promises high bonuses and dividends.

Regulatory agencies have successively warned of the risks and torn off its camouflage shell. At the end of last year, the Office of the Leading Group for Combating and Dealing with Illegal Fund-raising in Pucheng County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, issued an announcement saying that it was discovered that some people in the county organized people to buy the Fosaqi Yuanverse Ecological Platform Token Package, and their behavior had involved fund-raising fraud. Or pyramid schemes. Recently, Dalian Securities Regulatory Bureau and other departments have also issued risk warnings to remind the public to pay attention to such illegal and criminal activities in the name of Yuanverse, but in fact they are suspected of illegal fund-raising, fraud and other illegal and criminal activities.

However, the platform is still operating and expanding rapidly. China Business News reporters recently "sneaked into" the Yuanverse project community to conduct an investigation and found that the project used high-yield, MLM-like methods to attract potential investors, and expanded rapidly in a short period of time. Its founder, project model, income The model is full of doubts.

512 times high profit

During the Spring Festival, Li Li (pseudonym), who went home to celebrate the New Year, discovered that her father had successively invested in a product called "Fossage Force Metaverse Project 2.0" (hereinafter referred to as "Fossage 2.0 Metaverse Project"). 140,000 yuan, recharge the "Matrix" membership, and purchase a large amount of a virtual currency called "Forcecoin".

"I tried to persuade him to withdraw the money, but he couldn't withdraw it. He said that he would withdraw it if it rose in March, and the profit would be very high." Li Li told reporters that the project staff told Li Li's father that the price of this Force coin could be at least three times higher when it is launched. income.

Like Li Li’s father, there are many investors involved in the Fossage 2.0 metaverse project. Based on the number of people who have joined several communities, the reporter estimated that the number of investors (including intended investors) is at least 1,500. The overall scale of domestic investors is currently unknown.

Public information shows that Forsage is a cryptocurrency project (Forsage 1.0) launched on February 6, 2020, and entered the Chinese market around July of the same year. From various materials on public accounts and Weibo, "Fossage 2.0" claims that its founder is a top digital cryptographer and mathematical genius from Russia. The project was launched on July 13, 2022, between 83 and 110 Promoted in several countries, there are currently 1.28 million investors worldwide.

During the investigation, the reporter found that the lofty concepts and complex project models were confusing, but the actual founder’s title and experience behind them could not withstand verification. Public information shows that the 2020 Fossage cryptocurrency project (Fossage 1.0) is actually more similar to a multi-level marketing (MLM) pyramid scheme, and was resisted by the Philippine central bank due to large-scale expansion. Many people in the Bitcoin circle, including the founder of Ethereum, have also pointed out that the Fossage model is more similar to a Ponzi scheme. According to the U.S. Public Affairs Office, as early as February 2023, one of the founders of the Fossage model, Vladimir Okhotnikov, also known as Lado, was accused of Forsage was indicted for operating as a Ponzi and pyramid investment scheme involving $340 million.

Just one year later, Fossage 2.0 version made a comeback on domestic social platforms with new concepts such as classic matrix and sliding income.

Yang Yang (pseudonym), a senior promoter of Fosaci 2.0, shared this "logic of getting rich" with reporters: Investors are required to join the "Сlassic Classic Matrix" to obtain daily cash returns first, and later they can be listed on the "Force Coin" Get high profits at one time. There are 15 packages of "Matrix Level" + "Force Coin", priced from 3,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan. The project team claims that the dynamic income of Force Coin has room for growth of up to 512 times. "This part is private placement and will be locked for a long time. It can be cashed out after the Force Coin is listed. Now it is appreciating very quickly." Yangyang told reporters that in just two months, the Force Coin has gone from 0.5 US dollars per coin. It has risen to US$1.44 per coin, and “it is expected to rise to US$128 per coin after listing.”

“The basic rising logic is that things are more valuable when they are scarce, and the price of Force Coins is increased through ‘halving + destruction’."Another promoter introduced the principle of the rise of Force Coin and provided a forecast income statement that the currency value will increase to 512 times.
