14th TelexFree Acre injunction appeal denied
With TelexFree themselves seemingly having exhausted their injunction appeal options over no less than thirteen separate appeals, all unanimously denied, the company’s affiliates have taken up the slack in the hope that they can convince a judge to lift the Acre injunction.
The Acre injunction, granted to Public Prosecutors back in June, prohibits TelexFree from paying affiliates in Brazil or signing up new affiliate investors.
Fifty-two TelexFree affiliates filed an application for an injunction against the Acre injunction. The group of affiliates claimed that the decision to effectively put a stop to TelexFree’s Brazilian operations is illegal because it infringed on their right to participate in the opportunity and earn from it.
By allowing the Acre injunction to remain in place, (the affiliates) also said they run the risk of losing part of the amounts invested in TelexFree, due to the closure of their contracts within the specified period (of twelve months).
They also stressed that the case does not only infringe on their collective rights, but also that of the individual.
With the argument that a Ponzi scheme should be restarted on the basis that affiliate investors are unable to participate (invest and recruit) and get paid being about as flimsy as wet toilet paper, not surprisingly Federal Judge Denise Bonfim denied the appeal.
Judge Bonfim stated that TelexFree is being investigated for running a financial pyramid scheme and, if found guilty, the crime against the economy would make any contracts signed between affiliates and the company illegal.
The magistrate said it is a case of collective interest, because, as the TelexFree network grows, it exponentially increases the financial loss of untold numbers of people and that judicial intervention is a way of protecting the population.
In explaining her decision the magistrate pointed out that the TelexFree case was now sub judice and that a restart of business operations would counteract the judicial process and examination of TelexFree.
The magistrate also indicated a lack of demonstration by the affiliates of a clear legal basis for the appeal, one of the requirements for an injunction to be granted for the purpose of protecting the illegally violated rights violated or claims of abuse of power.
Where to from here?
As reported yesterday, TelexFree are currently experiencing problems paying their affiliates outside of Brazil. After the payment processor Global Payroll Gateway dumped them, the company is now looking to pay affiliates using the services of International Payout Systems Inc.
Meanwhile in Brazil, the company’s prospects are looking as bleak as ever, with charges of money laundering and embezzlement looming over the heads of TelexFree’s owners and top affiliates.
Stay tuned…
Promoters of telexfree are being paid by the company personally i know of people who have received their payments via gpg, obviously there will be some stumbling blocks. That applies to any business. Telexfree has been paying me with no problems.
GPG stopped paying people back in late August. They’ve said they’ll honor some payments but they booted TelexFree recently.
Getting booted by your payment processor isn’t a stumbling block. And coming on here to lie about it… well. If anyone has been paying you it’s been your upline.
So you’re saying TelexFree has been violating court orders, thus adding contempt of court, which is a REAL CRIME, instead of merely ALLEGED crimes (yet to be convicted) such as pyramid scheme?
And you don’t see a problem with that?
Did all that money made you BLIND?
They well may have in the past. They will not be in the future.
Oh, what the heck. Let’s file a 15th appeal.
If we do it enough times, perhaps the court will finally have a change of heart and realize their ignorant ways.
Reminds me of a sad but humorous tale.
There was once a man who was going down aboard a sinking ship. He kept refusing the people’s help believing god would save him instead.
After he dies and reaches heaven, he asks god why, after all of his prayers and pleas, he didn’t receive the help he wanted. And god’s reply was:
“It was I sending you all that help, and yet you refused it when you needed it most.”
According to reports, TelexFree changed their UK office address again.

I spent $15,000 on telexfree accounts. A co-workers wife sold us on the idea. It sounded like a great idea at the time. We recieved about $2,000 dollars back and we have not been paid a dime since.
Its been almost 2 months since we have recieved any money. I was trying to stAy positive but now im sure we were scammed. Is there anything we can do?
If you check that grupo on Facebook (Telexfree Universal Group), promoters are twisting the story, alleging it was Telexfree who fired GPG, not the other way around…
Scam artists have a gateway for everything… (but prison!)
Other than complaining to your local police and add yourself to the “I got cheated by TelexFree” registry (if they have one), no.
Maybe you can send a letter to the prosecutor at Acre and ask to be notified if they need more witnesses, and/or to refer you to your local prosecutor to open a case in your province.
It’s probably at a house, but should be the same joke:

Find new friends.
He’s probably from the U.S., and looking for “alternative sources for information” when the normal ones have failed to deliver. Contacting anyone in Brazil won’t work.
I would probably have done it exactly as you have = try to get your money back through the normal methods in TelexFree, and then look for alternative sources for information if the normal ones fail. I can’t add much to that.
TelexFree have had payment problems since late July. They’re trying to minimize the effect of what people feel about it and what people want to do about it, e.g. “be patient”, “don’t call GPG”, “the new upcoming system will fix the problem”, and so on and so forth. That’s not a good sign.
My suggestion:
Bypass your co-worker’s wife and any other in your upline until you find a team leader or similar close to the top. Don’t focus on your own problem, but focus on the more general problem that TelexFree has failed to deliver for too long time, and people will not accept more delays in payments. Ask for alternative solutions, e.g. if they can send checks.
You will need to find someone close enough to the top to have “direct communication lines” to the leaders themselves. Accept solutions if they have some.
Focusing on the general payment problem rather than your own payment problem will make the dialogue become more “solution oriented” than “personal problem oriented” = it will be easier to get some answers.
Two other things you can do:
1. Preserve documentation / keep a record of the transactions and activities (money you have paid IN, money you have received, other types of info).
2. “Try to make it easier to solve”. People’s own description of a problem or “how they see it” will often make it more difficult to find solutions.
Some people are receiving payouts through i-Payouts now, the September 3rd payout. Post #962 in the MMG forum (link disabled):

You can try to ask some of them about details?
I used your post here to attract income proofs, based on the idea that people often will try to “outweight” information they don’t like with opposite type of info.
