Elysium Network websites go down (exit-scam in progress?)
Following a tip-off from a reader, just over a week ago I added Elysium Capital to BehindMLM’s review update list.
The review was to be based on a new business model, revealed by Elysium Founder Fred Stege on May 11th.
Three days ago Elysium Network’s websites went down. The only explanation thus far is vague “server maintenance”, that’s supposed to end on June 7th.
What makes Elysium Network’s websites going offline, is it happened less than a week after affiliate forex trading accounts were shut.
At the time Elysium Network cited “errors” with its third-party brokerage Equiti.
Also suspicious is the nature in which Elysium Network’s websites went down.
BehindMLM reader “Herr D” noticed both “elysiumnetwork.io” and “elysiumcapital.io” went down on or around June 3rd.
There was no announcement preceding the downtime. The websites were throwing up a 502 HTTP error code, suggesting a server misconfiguration.
Shortly after Elysium Capital sent out an email blaming “server maintenance”.
We would like to inform you, that we will do Server Maintenance, in intervals, between the 3rd and 7th of June 2021.
During some periods regarding this Maintenance our IT team will connect the new Elysium Insider package to the current Elysium EOS system to ensure a smooth client launch as soon as possible.
Please be aware that you will not be able to register new enrolees and/or login to your backoffice at certain times during this Server Maintenance.
Since then Elysium Network’s websites have remained down, throwing up a variety of errors at different times.
On June 4th the 502 errors switched to a 500 server error for Elysium Capital, and a 404 not found error for Elysium Network.
Later that same day both websites returned a 503 temporarily unavailable error.
On June 5th the 503 error had switched to a domain DNS error message for Elysium Capital, and a root directory listing for Elysium Network (whatever was on the web server had been deleted).
Over the last few hours Elysium Network is now also throwing up a DNS error message.
This means someone has disabled both domains at the registrar level.
All of this is strange enough on its own. What I can categorically state is that it’s not how companies engage in server maintenance.
Even if something goes wrong with a sever, the first thing you do is throw up an error/maintenance page.
If that’s not possible with the broken configuration, you roll back a backup and put up an error/maintenance page until you’ve fixed it.
There’s no need to stuff around with DNS configurations and disable websites.
At worst if you pull an all-nighter you should have something back up and running within 24 hours.
I speak of this from experience – and I barely knew what I was doing the last time something like that happened with BehindMLM.
Another factor to consider here is, after closing affiliate forex trading accounts, Fred Stege (right) announced Elysium Network would be transitioning to crypto.
As previously stated, Stege made that announcement on May 10th.
Between May 9th and May 20th, bitcoin plummeted from ~$58,000 to ~$35,000.
At three days of downtime and counting, Elysium Network’s “server maintenance” is starting to look an awful lot like an exit-scam.
Supposedly Elysium Network’s server maintenance will be over on June 7th. That’s less than 48 hours away.
Stay tuned…
Update 7th June 2021 – As at the time of this update Elysium Network’s website is back up, albeit without an SSL certificate.
Elysium Capital’s website remains down.
Update 10th June 2021 – Elysium Network’s SSL issue has been resolved. Elysium Capital’s website remains down.
Update 22nd July 2021 – BehindMLM revisited what’s left of Elysium Network for an updated review in July 2021.
Waiting for tomorrow.
Network seems to be back (can’t see any difference or, for that matter, the “new Elysium Insider package”).
Capital gives an ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID.
Even if Capital does come back, it’s for sure they know fuck-all about site management.
Who goes down (and disappears) for four days for a planned upgrade?
I’m getting Elysium Network up with a disabled SSL certificate. Elysium Capital is being nulled to a blank page with a period (.).
Getting the same in the US. If you hadn’t mentioned the (.) I would have missed it. On the Network page are three links:
Above the I Agree button is this:
Interesting choice of words: “…happy for us to use these cookies.” Who says that? Oh, and there is no footer menu, so…yeah, no, thanks.
That’s standard EU cookie law language. Most pointless online laws ever passed.
Nobody reads anything, just a mandatory extra mouse click when visiting websites.
Huh, I’ve never seen the word “happy” in the US boilerplates, just “authorize” or the like.
I agree with you on the pointlessness of that bit of EU nanny-law: it’s just one more pain-in-the-ass popup you have to clear the hell off your screen so you can get on with life.
SSL issue on Elysium Network has been fixed. Elysium Capital still down.
Leaving it there.
Both work for me?
Though I still can’t see any update to the contents. The alleged portfolios were last updated in March.
I’m still getting the period null redirect on Elysium Capital.
Might be a lagging DNS issue if it just went up in the last 24 hours.
And yeah should be obvious there was no update. Same website content.
Now elysiumcapital.io gives me the options to contact them or register with them. All other options point me towards a login page.
Shame really, no more videos, no more portfolio updates,.. was wondering how many tens of thousand percent of profit the Aurum Digital portfolio has reached by now.
elysiumcapital.io directly leads to a “User login” page; if I click on “Create an account”, I unfortunately cannot create one.
elysiuminsider.io is online, “Coming soon!”
Only Stege is present on the website, the Elysium Network website gives me a 500 server error. Has Elysium given up on adding a couple of pictures of useful idiots?
Is there still an MLM opportunity in there, or is it now just directly giving money to Stege for “information and opinions”?
Network works for me, though we seem to have lost the executive team? No more Daniel John Masih, Mattias Axel Larsson, Maurice Van Ophoven, Shalini Persson, Scott or Kerli Lindahl.
Some words from the visionary founder, added to some cringy piano tunes:
Wow.
Something must have gone wrong there? Understandably, most people in Elysium’s executive team never mentioned their jobs at Elysium anywhere.
facebook.com/scott.lindahl72/posts/10156736075136218 tells us Scott Lindahl stopped working as “Head of CRM” at “Elysium Capital Corporate”.
Though he was still visible on a slide in Stege’s last webinar on June 28, weird.
Does this now mean we can’t get in touch with Elysium? We could try to ask CIO Mattias Axel Larsson, as bad luck will have it, his website maxelia.ml shows us “This web site has expired.”
elysiumcapital.io now gives me
Is this the end of the disruption to the traditional financial industry?
Afraid so. All Elysium websites are down over here (Germany).
Was wondering whether Stege/Elysium could lead us all through the current crypto downtrend.
Aaand it’s gone.
