BCN’s Joby Weeks ditches wife with stage 4 cancer
BitClub Network’s Joby Weeks has reportedly bailed on his wife Stephanie Weeks.
The couple have a young child together, and Stephanie was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
BehindMLM received this news as a tip off. I originally wasn’t going to report on it but a GoFundMe set up by Stephanie appears to support the claim.
Apparently got permission to travel. Took off. Hasn’t been home in three months. Separated from his wife who has stage 4 cancer, that wonderful little girl and no money.
Weeks applied to have his release conditions modified back in June. The court granted the order on June 16th, allowing Weeks to travel within and outside Colorado “for business and personal reasons”.
In a GoFundMe set up three days ago, Stephanie Weeks, who appears to have been left to fend for herself, claims she’s been told treatment will cost $40,000.
I am told it will be $40,000 and will take 2 months. After that time, we will do more tests and reevaluate.
I do not have insurance. I have to pay for the treatment at the time of service.
This is a huge expense but I have to do it for my health. I want to ahinilate [sic] this mass so I can be here for my daughter. I am asking friends for help.
At time of publication Stephanie’s campaign has raised $27,306.
Joby Weeks, who pitches himself as a “spiritual being” with a Christian upbringing, pled guilty to BitClub Network fraud charges in 2020.
Since it was originally scheduled, Weeks sentencing has been continuously delayed. The latest delay has pushed Weeks’ sentencing back to March 13th, 2024.
The reason for the ongoing delay remains unclear.
An editorial note on this one:
I don’t wish cancer on anyone and nobody deserves cancer.
BehindMLM is neutral on Weeks’ GoFundMe campaign. I’ve linked to it so donate if you wish.
Cancer is living hell for everyone who gets it and the people around them.
What a great guy Joby Weeks is. I bet he spared his mother from his ponzi spiel. Not.
I also bet that his first argument in mitigation of sentence is “my wife has cancer”.
Yeah, sure, play the Christian card.
Not so Christian Joby, and poor woman, even if she took part of the scam.
Not that I wish cancer on anyone,but the Irony of the “I have an Immune System” post is too good.
This is fake news. This is Stephanie Weeks, Joby’s wife. Joby is here in Colorado with me right now. Tomorrow we celebrate Liberty’s 5th birthday together as a family with friends.
Yes, I have a tumor and am going to a wellness center for treatment starting the 22nd. The regiment they want me to do is expensive which is why I created the Go Fund me page for those who would like a to help us cover the cost.
Joby hasn’t ditched me at all. You should take this story down. Thank you.
@Stephanie
Assuming that’s you, I’ve had three different people reach out to me now.
Here’s one via email:
Why is this all coming out now out of the blue? One of the sources is a long-time contact I know couldn’t be in cahootz or sending me multiple emails.
As you can imagine, the stress and anxiety of our family being put in limbo for close to 4 years now because of this Bitclub fiasco has caused my health to decline. Now it’s being compounded with articles like this.
Over the years Joby has been preventing from attending many family reunions, weddings and funerals of close friends and family.
Now that he has been given the freedom to leave the house he has been able to attend his cousins wedding and grandmothers funeral this past month. That in no way constitutes him “ditching me for 3 months” or divorcing me.
Our private family affairs are private. One day the world will eventually know the truth about what really took place with regards to Bitclub.
Joby has been advised by his lawyers to not give any interviews to correct the false narrative until after the court process is complete.
I’m sure he would be happy to do one with you when the time is right. I’d appreciate it if you would delete this article. I’m under enough stress as it is. Thank you.
I appreciate you trying to save face. Thank you for confirming Weeks’ reported behavior.
Given how Weeks presents himself and the fact that BitClub Network was a $722 million dollar plus Ponzi scheme, this is in the public interest (you made it public).
BitClub Network was a Ponzi scheme. Weeks already pled guilty to fraud, he’s going to prison for a very long time.
I’d suggest you focus on your health then wasting energy clinging onto denials and what appears to be a scumbag of a husband.
Bitclub was a scam, your family profited from it. There’s no alternative version of that. Nice try.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t give rumors like this a second of my day – but I feel compelled to say something because both Joby and Stephanie have been friends for many years. And I was one of the first people to sign up with Joby when Bitclub launched.
I never lost any money on my miners. I probably made 20x my “investment” and I never referred anyone else to buy a miner. Joby was a distributor just like everyone else who got involved. But he was also helping the owners of BCN squire the mining hardware.
He had no reason to believe there was anything fraudulent going on until the end when the owners let him in on what they were doing.
It’s easy for everyone to armchair quarterback. Hindsight is 20/20. And with regard to the current situation with Stephanie’s health – She needs prayer, not more stress.
Even if you think Joby is the most evil guy on the planet – Stephanie is not. Finding a woman that really believes in the vows she took at the alter is rare these days. She’s one of the most kind, caring people I know.
You being friends with Joby, getting in early and stealing a bunch of money through BitClub Network is irrelevant to him being a Ponzi scammer.
Notwithstanding Weeks has already pled guilty to fraud charges;
1. BitClub Network was run by former Zeek Rewards Ponzi scammers, one of whom additionally is a convicted pedophile.
2. BitClub Network was never registered with the SEC, from the get go it was operating illegally.
3. Weeks regularly taunted law enforcement on social media.
The facts reflect Joby Weeks knew BitClub Network was a Ponzi scheme and he knew exactly what he was doing.
BehindMLM’s BitClub Network review was published in August 2014.
Pete Delmonico told me this was legacy company.
Joby and his cronies were scammers and still are in my eyes. Who cares if his wife backs him up, I’m just mortified that a go fund me is even being paid into.
Let Mr crypto rich Joby pay, I’m tired of scammers begging after ruining lives.
The “elephant” in this sad room is that Stephanie Weeks did not mention why she must pay for her own cancer treatment.
According to Joby (secondhand), Mr. “I still make $20,000/day from Bitcoin!” refuses to pay for his wife’s cancer orthodox treatment because she won’t rely on his urged alternative supplements. If she wants to trust the evil oncologists, then she must pay for it herself.
Stephanie is thus reduced to begging in public for money to try to save her own life, while defending her felon husband to save face.
Meanwhile, Joby’s idea of emotional support is to become the first criminal to hurriedly tour the 50 States while wearing an ankle monitor. Yet another pathetic “LOOK AT MEEEEE! stunt.
It’s eerie how the English language dictionary used by libertarians apparently has no listing for “sociopath”.
Stephanie, I am saddened by your cancer diagnosis. I am nearly as saddened by your attempted whitewashing of the felonious and immoral actions of your grifter husband.
There was no “Bitclub fiasco”… just your fiasco choice of a mate. You all lived flagrantly for years, and boasted incessantly about it online. And Joby never provided you a BTC wallet of your own? Really?
You and Joby dispensed with privacy by trumpeting your lavish travels, and by now asking publicly for help to pay the medical bills he refuses to cover.
You seem like a nice woman, so I hope you reach your $40,000 gofundme goal. I hope you beat this cancer.
I also hope the scales fall from your eyes to finally see who was always responsible for your family’s stress, anxiety, and limbo over the past 4 years.
Uh, sorry, but Joby was trying recruit new suckers while and after he had privately expressed doubts to his partners that incoming “investments” were going into mining computers.
BCN was so obviously a Ponzi scheme that Joby cannot later feign ignorance.
This keeps getting worse and worse…
Jessie Lee Ward just showed the MLM world how effective this nonsense is.
It cannot be.
Joby is a Christian like Ruja Ignatova, her brother, and King James, and “spiritual” like Jan Eric Nyman, Simon Le, Sebastian Greenwood, etc
I just learned that there was one more item:
4) In 2019 Joby Weeks offered offered himself as mole/snitch for the IRS to save his own tax evasion ass.
“Last spring, Weeks contacted the Internal Revenue Service and met with two of its agents in Washington, D.C. He admitted that he might have some tax problems, having not filed tax returns for several years.
The agents thought that sounded pretty serious. Weeks suggested that he could bring far more serious cases to their attention, working undercover for them among the international cryptocurrency crowd he knew so well.
“He was trying to convince the agents that he might serve — in his words — as a ‘Jason Bourne’ of cryptocurrency,” one court pleading notes.”
But the agents seemed more interested in what Weeks could tell them about the BitClub Network. A follow-up interview was arranged in West Palm Beach on December 10, 2019.
…Instead, Weeks was arrested at the Florida meeting.”
westword.com/news/bitclub-network-was-too-big-to-fail-but-cost-investors-722-million-11642618
The feds didn’t even have to entrap him; he went to them first! “Hmmmm, how to save myself? Hey, I know: throw somebody else to the wolves, so maybe they won’t eat ME!”
Had Joby Weeks not been arrested in 2019, he would have mined attendees of Anarchopulco 2020, 2021, etc. for the IRS.
Whatever friends this rat fink imagines he has left would be wise to recall anything they foolishly told him in confidence.
That Joby Weeks’ federal sentencing has oddly been postponed for THREE years now is worthy of contemplation. Why would the DOJ do that?
I can’t confirm but I believe the holdup has something to do with Russ Medlin’s status.
You’ve obviously never met Joby or Stephanie. They are some of the best people on the planet. I donated to Stephanie’s go fund me campaign and I pray, Lord willing, that she beats the cancer quickly.
As a reminder, for those who believe the lies regarding Bitclub… Joby didn’t start or run Bitclub. He joined as a member more than a year after it was created.
The government says Biclub was a Ponzi scam. That there was no mining taking place. You love to regurgitate that false story. (Ozedit: Aaaand we’re done, see below)
Joby Weeks is a deceitful scumbag who pled guilty to his role in perpetuating the $722 million plus BitClub Network Ponzi scheme.
You don’t need to have met Joby for these facts to be facts. Nor does how you personally feel about Joby change the facts.
Attempting to rewrite history = spambin.
Don’t need to get shot or stabbed to know it sucks to get shot or stabbed. Sometimes you really can use common sense to know they – profited from the suffering of others, and flaunted the lifestyle.
Striking someone with a car and killing them accidentally while inebriated is still manslaughter. The behaviour that contributed to the crime is the decider, not the “intent”.
Bad judgement and ruining lives is not excusable with “they’re the nicest people”.
Also imagine refusing to pay for your wife’s cancer treatment because she won’t settle for thoughts and prayers in a bottle.
BuT tHeY’rE tHe NiCeSt PeOpLe!
To be fair how does he make MLM profits if she doesn’t join his downline as a victim… ahem… customer.
BitCoin mining in its most profitable case (i.e., cheap labor & energy, and little/no equipment overhead) takes at least a year to merely break even. BitClub Network was never sufficiently profitable to also pay out its 40% referral commissions and 1000 days >100% ROIs to all affiliates.
For BCN, the (predictably) massive shortfall in mining revenue was always paid by new affiliate funds, which is the definition of a Ponzi scheme.
BitClub Network was never a genuine cryptomining pool with pool feels, prices per gigahash, detailed accounting of block yields, splits, etc. Rather, BCN’s token mining activity was always just bait on a hook.
Only the first tranche of Ponzi scheme customers ever make out. Post-2016 BCN affiliates would have been better off buying Bitcoin itself vs. “investing” in BCN.
This is absolutely nuts that this thing has been dragged out for 3 years with zero explanation and they can’t just put him in prison already.
What’s even more nuts is that people are defending his actions and saying he was duped…it that why he pled guilty? Unreal, this guy is like David Koresh or something.
Now his wife has the gall to live high on the horse, traveling all over the world in private jets and yahcts, shoving it in our faces and then begs for money for medical treatments. Which knowing how this couple operates, could be all fake (let’s get real SHE set it up for HERSELF!).
$20,000 of it is from anonymous donors, this by far doesn’t pass the sniff test. I’m sure Joby has a wallet stashed somewhere to hide from the government, let her use that.
I’v known JW since his early days associated with his “saintly” parents through Mannatech. He was a complete jerk as far back as the early 2000(s) and it doesn’t sound as if he’s changed.
Great job raising him Nat and Silence!. Once a grifter – always a grifter.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was a ploy to pay his legal fees (or their back rent).
And please -out of pocket medical expenses for cancer cost far more than $40k. Aim a little higher next time you beg for money.
I have known Joby for over 25 years. He was a millionaire before I knew him because of Mannatech (in my opinion) a MLM scheme. Joby was a millionaire as a teen due to that (his uncle set him up with that).
Not only did he have that benefiting him, Joby’s prior relatives were SENATORS in the US government.
Joby and his friends were charged with rippig off individuals of at least 752 MILLION dollars in US currency.
Joby is a fraud and scam. I hope his daughter Liberty actually seeks LIBERTY for all.
Joby can be seen on an episode of “American Guns” where a prove pervert sold him a ‘punt gun’.
Joby should be put in prison.. No doubt about it.
