EXW Wallet scammer arrested in Brazil is Pirmin Troger
Following news of EXW Wallet indictments and arrests in Austria, we learned that one scammer had been arrested in Brazil.
Due to local laws however, unfortunately we didn’t know who it was.
A BehindMLM reader who speaks Portuguese has now tracked down the relevant Brazilian court filing. We can now confirm the arrested EXW Wallet suspect in Brazil is Pirmin Troger.
Troger, an Italian national, is cited as a co-founder in EXW Wallet’s marketing.
After EXW Wallet collapsed, Troger fled to Brazil, purchased a residence in Sao Paulo and knocked up a Brazilian national.
As per a filing pertaining to Austria’s requested extradition of Troger, an warrant went out for his arrest on April 22nd. On April 23rd, less than 24 hours later Troger was in custody.
The warrant was issued as part of an Interpol red notice, which unfortunately I’m not sure when itself was issued.
Troger has officially been charged with participating in the criminal organization, embezzlement and “crimes against the popular economy”.
Following his arrest Troger requested release pending extradition. Brazilian authorities denied the application.
Troger’s extradition to Austria was granted on May 17th, 2023. Based on comments made by Prosecutors at the EXW Wallet trial last week, Troger’s extradition remains pending (this might have since changed).
When he is eventually extradited, Troger will leave behind his Brazilian girlfriend and newborn.
EXW Wallet was an MLM crypto Ponzi scheme launched in late 2019. Austrian prosecutors allege EXW Wallet defrauded at 40,000 investors out of at least €14 million euros.
In addition to monetary penalties, Troger and his accomplices face one to ten years in prison, A verdict is expected next February.
You think he got a referral from Steynberg? Or is Sao Paulo becoming the Dubai of the Americas.
Brazil is a bit of a mixed bag. They do act on international arrest warrants but also aren’t likely do anything if a Brazilian national flees “back home”.
Two exceptions come to mind, Carlos Wanzeler (TelexFree) – who was first stripped of citizenship and then approved for extradition to the US. But there have been no further updates for years. And the recent Mining Capital Coin (and possible EmpiresX) arrests.
Unless the US gives them a kick up the bum Brazilian authorities otherwise tend to not do anything, even when a large contingent of Brazilians are scammed.
Still miles above Dubai. If you evacuated the slave labor and then nuked Dubai, you’d probably wipe out about 95% of crypto crime across the board in an instant.

I believe that the fact of extradition has to do with international cooperation due to Brazil’s requests that are not being met.
one of the cases is G.A.S consultancy, Which is very famous in Brazil with the name of Pharaoh of bitcoins.
Brazilian justice has requested the United States several times to extradite Meireles yoseline Diaz Zerpa. This pyramid moved almost 5 Billion Dollars ago, The scheme promised a return of 10% per month,Glaidson Acácio dos Santos was the company’s CEO while Meireles was the financial part of the business Gladson.
in addition to being charged with the crime of financial pyramiding, is also accused of murder and another attempted murder to clean up his competition in the Rio de Janeiro region.
While Meirelles fled to Miami with the equivalent of 200 million dollars in Bitcoin, It is worth mentioning that Meireles has his Instagram active as Meireles funds and works on issues of veganism, digital art creations and even a DJ.
As if nothing had happened and more than 127 thousand victims had not been harmed.

I’m going to hold off reporting due to the previously cited “we can’t name defendants” local law.
I take it this was Andre Henseler taking the stand, as per: twitter.com/xchangeworld/status/1247540147672854538
