Crypto BitClub Ponzi collapses, begs investors for more money
Crypto BitClub launched earlier this year on or around January.
The company was founded by Joe Yagudaev and Ramon Escalera, who last year launched the collapsed Crypto Bit Trade Ponzi scheme.
Crypto BitClub was basically a reload scam, touting a bitcoin mining and trading daily 1% ROI.
Like Crypto Bit Trade, no evidence of mining or trading was ever provided. Nor was Crypto BitClub registered to offer securities in any jurisdiction it operated in.
On the MLM side of things Crypto BitClub offered binary commissions of up to 30%.
Like most MLM cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes, Crypto BitClub stole a bunch of money from investors and then collapsed.
Now the company’s owners are begging for even more money.
Upon initially collapsing in April, Crypto BitClub attempted to exit-scam through the familiar ICO route.
Naturally Crypto BitClub’s “SEC registered” ICO didn’t happen.
In an email sent out to Crypto BitClub’s investors yesterday, the company is once again promising another “solution”.
We have put together another solution to get CBC back on track.
This will require participation from some of our CBC community members.
For those who wish to help will be the ones getting paid first.
“Participation” will cost Crypto BitClub investors 15 BTC, which at today’s rate is just over $100,000.
Investors will receive their money back after 90 days. After the first month they receive 2.5% weekly on their deposits (10% per month).
In total they receive a 20% return over 3 months. No binary is paid.
This crowdfunding will coexist with the existing program and is intended to help CBC as quickly as possible.
We work together with external, profitable and proven trading partners.
In our opinion, this is a plan that benefits everyone and enables us to pay you back as soon as possible.
Yeah, so I’m gonna be that guy and ask:
If Crypto BitClub couldn’t generate promised returns the first and second times around (because recruitment tanked and there was nobody left to steal from), why trust them a third time?
CBC maintains 100% management and control over the bitcoin accounts.
We work from our own account. So NO money is transferred to third parties.
We work together with external, profitable and proven trading partners.
There is nothing more that we want then to start paying our members again.
We have seen programs such as this come and go but we hope by now you see that our intentions are different.
If you don’t wish to participate we totally understand but we kindly ask you to keep the emails and comments in our FB group positive.
Sincerely Yours,
CBC Admins
So uh, lose money in Crypto BitClub once, maybe twice… and now hand over another $100,000 so serial scammers Joe Yagudaev and Ramon Escalera can make off with even more.
NO CANCELLATION AND NO REFUND

Sounds bulletproof guys, where do I sign up?
CRYPTOBITCLUB SCAM: It’s hard to beleive the arrogance of Joe Yagudaev and Roman Escalera, seriously, they screw everybody in the ass stealing there funds, and then send out an email to the victims asking them for more funds.
Only a pompous fraudster would be that stupid and arrogant. I bet they got a lot of response back telling them where they could stick that email……
For two guys that claimed they were out to help all the victims of the Bitcoin doubler scams, I hope they get what they deserve from the authorities that have been notified. These scumbags need to pay for there crimes.
Just wow.
How do they sleep…
“Participation” will cost Crypto BitClub investors 15 BTC, which at today’s rate is just over $100,000.
its only a tiny $100,000
What is that between old friends?
We can drip feed payments to you in 90 days!! I promise!!
even name of this “club” makes u think its bitclubnetwork 😛
Vitaly dubinin. BItclub network SCAM.
A recent email sent out to Crypto BitClub affiliates claims 9.01 BTC (almost $60,000 USD) has been invested since the collapse.
Stupidity in the MLM cryptocurrency niche is endless.
Oz some questions. Did these two guys get in trouble with the law for these scams? Are they out free and doing more scams?
Why the authorities don’t go after them? Thanks for your time.
Not that I’m aware of.
I can’t speak for regulators but I imagine it comes down to resources. US authorities go after some of the larger MLM crypto scams, the rest of the world is about ten years behind.
China makes arrests every now and then but hardly anything gets reported in English.
These lasts a few months scams aren’t worth going after individually but yeah, going after the same people behind them would, over time, make a difference.
Unfortunately these days it’s even worse. The matrix script scammers in India are now shilling crypto-scam-in-a-box scripts. Smart-contracts are the go-to buzzword at the moment.
Takes about as long to create an MLM scam as it does for me to review one. Armed with such a script, anyone with a Facebook account can reinvent themselves as a crypto expert in less than an hour.
Personally I think crypto’s time has come and gone. It’s failed to demonstrate any long-term legitimate use and is now just investors with hype marketing pitches for functionality nobody in the real world cares about, or a vehicle to commit crime through.
When will regulators catch up and treat crypto crime seriously? Your guess is as good as mine.
All I can do is document the MLM crypto niche as it sinks from one bottom to another.
