BitClub Network trying to cash in on passive trading bot trend
Following the collapse of their mining Ponzi scheme late last year, BitClub Network is now asking gullible investors to pay them for access to a trading bot.
Trading bots have emerged as a trend throughout the MLM underbelly of late.
Everyone has one, withe each bot developed by who knows who and supposedly able to generate infinite money on demand.
Begs the question why the owners don’t just use the bots themselves. But by the time rubes think to ask, they’ve realized the bots don’t work and sorry for your loss.
In BitClub Networks’ version of the trading scam model, they’re asking investors for up to $3500 for access to “unlimited algorithms”.
- Trader Pack #1 – pay $500 for access to three algorithms and be able to invest up to $2000
- Trader Pack #2 – pay $1000 for access to seven algorithms and be able to invest up to $5000
- Trader Pack #3 – pay $2000 for access to fifteen algorithms and be able to invest up to $15,000
- Trader Founder Package – pay $3500 for access to “unlimited algorithms” and be able to invest up to $100,000
Fee payments are twelve months recurring, on top of the $99 BitClub Network sign up fee and what is invested.
Naturally no information about BitClub Network’s magical algorithms, other than they supposedly trade bitcoin.
There’s also no mention of the new trading scam on the BitClub Network website. Apparently it’s only visible in the affiliate backoffice.
Despite being in steady decline over the past twelve months, BitClub Network’s admins obviously still feel there’s money to be made.
Cue gullible idiots keeping them in business handing over even more money, mostly from Japan, South Africa and China.
To be fair, BitClub Network has had a fair run. Five years is pretty good for what was just another reboot scam set up by Zeek Ponzi scammers.
Update 12th March 2019 – If you’re wondering what’s up with BitClub Network’s foothold in Japan, apparently it’s due to the efforts of this guy:
That’s Andy Nakashima, at a BitClub Network event in Japan a few weeks ago.
Alexa currently peg Japan as the largest source of traffic to the BitClub Network website (21%).
Nakashima is a resident of California in the US. At the time of publication Nakashima is not registered with the SEC, meaning any offering of securities he makes is unregistered and illegal.
Technically speaking Nakashima shouldn’t even be in BitClub Network, owing to it officially not operating in the US (*winkwink nudgenudge*).
Might be a bit hard to kick Nakashima out though, seeing as he’s reportedly one of BitClub Network’s founders.

The prosecutor in Hamburg investigates against nine members or executives of the Bitclub Network for fraud under this file number:

At the same time the German media warned about the successor of the BitClub Network, which was started as PULSE EMPIRE and wants to operate globally. If you invest at least 2,000 euros, you will get rich and wealthy and all without any work.
This video explains in detail how the fraudsters in network marketing predominantly work. Unfortunately, it is only available in German.

The video was uploaded yesterday and had 131,833 views! Very enjoyable, but not for the scammers shown there!
Hadn’t heard of Pulse Empire. Seems to have launched ~10 months ago and flopped. They uploaded a new “trailer” yesterday.
Comp plan link on their website is broken but hopefully it’s avail by the time Pulse Empire comes up for review.
I like how they crap on about not being an investment, but also run “pulse.fund”, which is clearly an investment opportunity.
Pulse Fund and Pulse Empire came up for review today.
The reason I added them to the review list is because the compensation plan mentioned levels.
Turns out the levels are just percentage increases on direct referrals.
Direct referrals = single-level commissions, i.e. not MLM.
The bitclub website is down. One of the founders Joe Able had a video on Facebook saying Bitclub is a ponzi scheme. This is on their website.
It doesn’t take days or weeks to swap out a raid backup. It takes as long as it takes to unplug one set of drives and plug in another set.
Bitclub is now building-in KYC supposedly to enforce rules retroactively for investors in mining. They never had these rules in place when people enrolled originally.
These are in place to make it more difficult for people to get their BTC withdrawals.
Morever, now when one attempts to login, there are all kinds of “systematic” games that the BCN is playing to make it difficult to even long in.
Coincidence? Nope. Just the action of fancy thieves.
