Leonardo Cositorto denied bail for a third time
Generation Zoe scammer Leonardo Cositorto has had his third request for bail denied.
Cositorto’s hearing was held on Thursday. The court’s decision was based on there being “no changes in the case”.
Just over a week ago Cositorto complained of conditions in the prison he was being held.
There is nothing that is not shameful here, from the food to the insecticides for cockroaches.
People sleep in pairs on mattresses, sleep under the beds, there are no bathrooms here.
We pee in a drum, I have pooped on top of a cardboard, They don’t give you toilet paper even for 5 days, and on top of that, if you say something, they put a sanction on you.
Prison officials have denied Cositorto’s claims.
In the lead up to his hearing Cositorto also claimed Argentina’s legal system is full of “corruption, extortion and manipulation”. With respect to Cositorto’s case, no evidence supporting these claims has been proffered.
Generation Zoe was a simple MLM crypto Ponzi scheme. When it collapsed Cositorto fled Argentina. This has likely played into his repeated requests for bail being denied.
As is unfortunately common in MLM Ponzi schemes, victims of the scheme, refusing to acknowledge they’ve been scammed, have rallied around Cositorto.
To that end Generation Zoe ringleaders managed to fleece another $190,000 from investors.
The funds were supposed to be put towards securing Cositorto’s release. As reported by Clarin, those funds have since “disappeared”.
This group of particularly gullible Generation Zoe investors, are reported to hold daily Zoom webinars and populate Telegram and WhatsApp groups. In these echo-chambers they deny basic math and continue to profess Cositorto’s innocence.
Clarin also points out that should Cositorto be somehow released from Bouwer Prison, parallel criminal cases have been filed against him in two other jurisdictions – likely seeing him immediately re-arrested upon release.
Argentinian police continue to build their case against Cositorto and local Generation Zoe scammers. Earlier this week authorities secured an arrest warrant for Javier Sebastián Medina, a Generation Zoe ringleader in Goya.
Authorities allege Medina has been working to concealing assets and Generation Zoe fraud related evidence.
Medina is scheduled to appear in court next Tuesday.
Besides the first signs of people at last noticing that “it was a scam” it is worth noting that the Buenos Aires prosecutor office is suspiciously slow and quiet.
Although they raided offices and houses nothing else happened since then and all points out that the main reason for Miguel Pierri (Cositorto’s lawyer) for asking for a change of jurisdiction (Villa Maria Cordoba to Buenos Aires) is that he has a “less hostile environment”

So, in a nutshell Cositorto an uneducated fool who always frowned upon “classic education”, created his own “University” and regarded science as a cult (or the system) was fleeced by people who went to an actual university.
Last but not least, there is a civil war on social media, former Cositorto fans now are playing the part of victims and started leaking information about certain unsong “heroes” who scammed Cositorto.
twitter.com/CarlosRodrigueM/status/1545075698540355584
Here Carlos (not me, hehe) leaked information about Rosa Maria Gonzalez, a Venezuelan national living (hiding) in Argentina who claimed that “thanks to Zoe she went from preparing buñuelos* (a Spanish fried dough fritter) to earning 350k dollars a day”.
Although she was introduced as one of the star traders at Cositorto’s “Universidad del Trading” she stays under the radar and keeps jumping from scam to scam.
This Carlos guy allegedly has a relationship with Cositorto and now he’s in charge of looking after Leo’s pets while providing us with hilarious material plus hints of the whereabouts of the money that “traitors stole from Cositorto and many more people”
* Gonzalez has been deemed Rosa Maria de los Buñuelos, but I tried to name her the “Ruja Ignatova de los Buñuelos” sadly it did not catch on within the community XD
She traded in fast food for $350,000 a day? Sounds like a star trader to me…
Rosa buñuelos

I think cositorto’s luck is going to change (for worse)

Well my friends, Cositorto maintains his delusion and now includes a tale of betrayal and a business people/politicians and media conspiracy.

PS: It is not included on this article (as it only parcially addresses Cositorto’s hilarious declarations) but in the interview he also acknowledged that there was no bail (that money went directly to his lawyer) and that “Rosa Maria Gonzalez (aka Rosa Buñuelos) kept scamming people while other people are in jail”.
Rosa Maria Gonzalez is still at large and her paranoia now is justified.
Cositorto can’t be stopped! In a leaked audio Cositorto claimed that starting September 7th Zoe will resume its “educational offer” But the catch is that the price is now only 3 dollars!
From “50K Robots” to 100 Special one on one sessions with a coach to 3 USD classes…
Cositorto is back (in the news)!

Hey Austrian schnitzel
If you understand Spanish give it a try to “kingdom of zoe” Nft + metaverse scam by cositorto:

And here’s a description of all things kingdom of Zoe, featuring Leinar (Cositorto’s character in that place) XD and last but not least a group of Zoe experts being trolled during the metaverse presentation

Great thank you.
Coach Lombardi told the court yesterday (3 hours of questioning) “I got hired by Cositorto”.
The lawyer of Cositorto confirmed Cositorto will remain in jail.
For those unfamiliar with Argentinian football (or soccer) Caruso Lombardi is quite a character, a guy who likes to claim to be “a man of the people” had several scandals along his managing career (He allegedly asked his players for money in exchange for an opportunity of being a starter on the team).
But the contract he signed with Deportivo Español (a team associated with/part of Zoe) is on other level:
– he gets an exorbitant salary
– plus a percentage of future transfers

After reading I saw this article.
This scam is so evil in many ways…
Do you have any idea… OZ question about the typical arrest? #14

Zoe had its tentacles in many places (Even in politics, allegedly that’s why the Buenos Aires justice keeps delaying its action), it is yet to investigate the people who collected cars and houses from people who didn’t have the money for those “investments”.
We laughed a lot, but besides being a scam it is also a cult.
Cositorto back when he was kidnapped

Yrimia, you bastard! There’s a mountain of evidence and you keep denying it!
It took a long time, but at last interpol has captured Luis Yrimia.
More info as soon as the formal report is released
Lolololol. How badly do you have to fuck up to get detained in the UAE? What did Yrimia do, hold someone’s hand in public?
Not doubting he’s been detained but will wait for local news to report before confirming myself.
In the replies to the tweet you can see all events in which Yrimia took part as advisor to Generación Zoe.
My favorite is a photo with cositorto in a gold mine. Leaks, documents, and cositorto’s confession showed that Yrimia was the mastermind behind the scam (and, allegedly he also scammed Cositorto)
More Zoe accountants have been arrested

Thanks for the update. I’ll sandwich this with Yrimia’s suspected arrest later today.
