The W3 Coins website identifies Juri Vasselli as CEO of the company.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Vasselli (right) is based out of Italy. Which is strange, because W3 Coins provide a corporate address in the Czech Republic.

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

Conclusion

W3 Coins presents itself as yet another pump and dump worthless MLM altcoin.

Promises of being able to use w3coins for “shopping” and “travel” are made but to date nothing specific.

There are two billion pre-mined w3coin tokens, 5 billion of which are currently being pawned off through an ICO.

Tens of thousands market makers from 63 countries are joining W3C first series ICO from tomorrow July 10, 2017.

W3coins tokens are being flogged for 50,000 w3coins for 1 ETH ($169) and have to be purchased through the Etherium platform.

One of the W3 Coins websites advises that the “crowdsale” will continue through till August 25th.

Thus far 473 ETH and 40 bitcoin have purportedly been invested.

After that and with nothing differentiating W3 Coins from the plethora of MLM altcoins out there, the value of w3coin will hinge on affiliate investor recruitment.

W3 Coins’ compensation plan is a combination of unregistered securities and pyramid recruitment.

There is no indication W3 Coins have registered themselves with a securities regulator in any jurisdiction they operate in, meaning affiliates are investing in unregistered securities.

Paying affiliate investors to recruit new affiliate investors also makes W3 Coins a pyramid scheme.

Usual MLM altcoin play out here; once affiliate recruitment drops off w3coin’s value approaches zero and the whole thing collapses.
