GSPartners claim portal delayed to “year end” 2024
The GSPartners victim claim portal has been delayed till sometime before the end of 2024.
The GSPartners settlement is being handled by the appointed third-party AlixPartners.
When the GSPartners settlement website went live in September, the claims portal was “expected in early November”. The reason for the delay has not been disclosed.
It is unclear whether AlixPartners is communicating directly with GSPartners victims. BehindMLM reached out to AlixPartners on September 19th, seeking clarification on what victims could claim on. To date we haven’t heard anything back.
Launched in 2020, GSPartners was a fraudulent investment scheme run by GSB. GSB and GSPartners are both owned by Josip Heit (right).
Originally from Europe, Heit is has been primarily based out of Dubai for some years.
Following over a dozen securities fraud warnings and enforcement orders from regulators, GSB reached a settlement with certain North American regulators.
As provided on the GSPartners settlement website as of November 20th, 2024, jurisdictions GSB and GSPartners have settled with are:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Arizona
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- District of Columbia
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Maine
- Minnesota
- Mississippi
- Nebraska
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- Oklahoma
- Oregon
- South Carolina
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Vermont
- Washington State
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
- Alberta (Canada) and
- British Columbia (Canada)
Under the terms of the settlement, GSB and GSPartners will refund victims who invested anything into its multi-tier investment schemes.
When the claim portal does go live, GSPartners victims will have 90 days to submit a claim.
Then, assuming GSB and GSPartners actually refund victims;
GSB Group and Mr. Heit will consent to the entry of an enforcement order that concludes they illegally offered and/or sold securities that were not registered pursuant to state law.
While the GSPartners settlement pertains to state-level alleged fraud, BehindMLM has also previously reported on federal investigations into GSB, GSPartners and Heit.
As is standard for federal US investigations, the ongoing status of the investigations is non-public.
Update 13th January 2025 – BehindMLM has received a response from AlixPartners regarding the ongoing GSB victim claim portal delays.
As tracked by SimilarWeb, Auratus Gold’s website traffic plummeted 99.6% month on month Sep to Oct 2024.
SimilarWeb tracked just 122 visits to Auratus Gold’s website for Oct 2024. And this is with the rahrah event in Brisbane.
Although not as drastic, Billionico dropped 78% month on month for the same period (down to ~5200 monthly visits).
So, what is the actual link to file as a victim? thanks.
…? Read the article.
Oops, I guess this is the first kick of the can down the road.
They can’t pay out without new money, so GSPro+ needs to work first and my guess is there is too much heat on them to make the rebrand a success. This is all your fault Oz.
what will happen with victims in other countries like australia?
That’s a question for ASIC. But otherwise at this stage, nothing.
@ GS Non Partner – what date is GSPro+ launching?
A twitter user posted about a meeting between Alex Bodi, Heit, and Ali Hussain. There was also a video to capture this iconic moment in history. Maybe someone can make sense of it – could be another “product” offering for Billionico.
You can find it if you search “Josip Heit” on twitter and filter to the latest posts. It’s the top two.
Also interestingly, there is a bit of chatter about Heit allegedly being the money for a VAT Carousel fraud in europe.
There was a polish YouTuber recently detained for luxury car lottos. His YT account also features that famous white buggati. He has been linked to Marcin Kukiełka who is appears to be an associate of both Heit and Bodi. Marcin was apparently detained last year in Germany and is awaiting trial for VAT fraud.
Something about selling luxury cars between Germany and Poland and “claiming” back the unpaid VAT. Heits alleged involvement is that someone has to finance this – and there is a lots of talk that its happening via the money on his “crypto” platforms.
@Oz, if this is of interest to you, I can email you 2 polish blog threads on this topic for some light reading.
An “associate” link isn’t enough to report on without some documented evidence – which I take it is difficult to come by unless you know what you’re looking for (e.g. the Croatian journalist did a fantastic job with that dam story).
If there is a definitive link I’ll take a look otherwise I’m a bit leery of reporting on associated organized crime activity we don’t have a definitive link to tie together.
2 uplines passed news along that GSPro+ cannot start until the GSP payouts are done because the C&D isn’t complete until the payouts are done. Therefore Heit cant do anything in the US until it is complete.
The goal date at the time was February. Now that the settlements have been pushed back, I’m sure this will be pushed back as well.
There was a big “call” yesterday, as new info was suppose to be passed along every 2 weeks. However neither of my uplines passed any news from the call along. So my assumption is the call either didnt happen or didnt have any promising news to pass down the lines.
An Auratus Billionico group is accompanying Martene Wallace to Dubai in the next couple of weeks for a “business meeting”.
Given their love of promotional photoshoots, perhaps we’ll see them partying with Josip and his bomba brother Alex Bodi and close friends Andrew Tate and Necati Arabaci (Hells Angels President) who also appear to be present in Dubai.
Probably not the best idea to take the kids or other minors for use as party photo props.
Unless Heit registers with the SEC and submits audited reports, GSPro will be illegal from the offset.
GSPro+ is scheduled to go live next month. Again suggesting all previous monies are safe and sound and will be paid out once the re-start begins.
US customers are still having to wait the mandated wait period before gaining access to anything. This was suppose to be 3 months from Nov 1st, but as seen above the 3rd party site is not active. The current upline does not when it may be or if that will effect the 90 day time line to be able to open things up in the US.
However, as always, things are extremely positive from the upline that things are opening back up in different parts of the world, and everyone feels confident it will in the US in time.
Where do I go to be a part of this claim? We have money invested with this mess and are just now seeing the status.
You don’t need to be “part of the claim”. You file a claim on the GSB Settlement website whenever the claim portal is ready.
slightly off topic:
was just watching the below video about the andrew tate hack. at 00:36 the video shows his “learning center” portal interface, and it struck me as looking really similar to what i have seen of the gsp portal.
i could be remembering it wrong. of course we all know about the heit/bodi/tate connection, but i thought it was interesting.

It does have a certain vibe and reminds me of the Billionico website when I looked some months back. Interesting information in the video too, particularly about reddit mods removing “negative” posts.
Tired of the games JH and cronies are playing with giving us refund. I can see them dragging payouts to Jan 2025 maybe even Feb as Zahlmann has been bragging he’s been asked to sit on some advisory board in the US.
And GS Pro+ reboot is going to be DAO which may be able to skirt around securities regulators.
At what point will the regulators go back and enforce charges since the funds have not been released to Alix Partners? Do people in Ontario have access to settlement? Ontario is part of NASAA.
Nope. There are no exemptions for “DAO” in the Securities Exchange Act.
Not as per the GSB Settlement website.
Hi Impatient War, that sounds like a question for the regulators if you suspect Heit is not paying Alix Partners. I’d assume the money is being kept in escrow by them until the settlement date passes?
@curious
Standard procedure is claims portal is opened, Alix Partners processes claims, arrives at a final amount and that amount is what GSB and Heit pay up.
As per the agreement GSB and Heit have only represented they can cover whatever the claim amount is. The onus is on them to meet that obligation when the time comes.
Nothing is in escrow or has been verified.
In order for Alix Partners to set up the claim portal, they need investor data from GSB. Otherwise Alix Partners can’t verify claims received from GSPartners victims.
The delays are either GSB stalling or Alix Partners taking forever to set up the portal. The latter is unlikely due to setting up a victim claim portal being standard routine. It’s not anything new so it’d be strange for Alix Partners to keep underestimating how long they need to set it up (we’re going on almost two months overdue).
Keep me updated.
Not much to update yet. It’s not looking like the GSB claim portal is going to go live as scheduled.
I intend to publish a follow up in early Jan after trying to get some answers.
I see the likes of Brandon Earp Jones and Andrew Smith and Tony De Gouveia – all known South African scammers are now promoting a Crypto “debit/ credit” card that allows you to spend your crypto.
Can send you links. Card is Called “Cryptospace” card? Any info on the next scam they running Oz?
Likely the same type of MLM promotion where you can earn off transactions off everyone linked with you and one off incomes per sale of card. Apparently it’s a “VISA” card.
These guys associate with well known brands like “VISA”, BDSwiss and Jan who owns it but when you actually check it’s not true and they all running a highly sophisticated criminal money siphoning network.
These guys move from scam to scam to scam with zero fucken guilt.
Staunch Talk before all of this, Crypto mining with SmartMedia, KaratBars robbery bait and switch, KBC coin scam and then into V999 scam with constant dilution and convolutendness, then the GS Partners shitshow and constant bait and switch with Swiss Valorem, then BillionCo and the multitude of spin offs is astonishing. Now some kind of crypto card all very hush hush.
Expect them to rob you of all your money..
Constantly shutting down and then rebranding. Interesting to see typical delay tactics and misdirection and pushing back dates for the claims portal.
The US regulators and enforcement must be aware that these fuckers constantly do this and will circle jerk them as well delaying claims and payouts.
Reason is all the money is gone and laundered through multiple crypto wash exchanges into the billions.
I will be intrigued to see how they try find their way around their enforcement and constantly delay it with endless excuses and bullshit. This new crypto card is guaranteed to last a few months and the provider will bail like all previous ones.
I would not put crypto anywhere near these guys. They will close down the cards and all your crypto sitting in your card Wallet will disappear with them as well like all crypto before that of every single project.
Nothing they have done lasts longer than a year. How anyone can continually believe these absolute clowns is beyond me.
Andrew Eaton another South African is also a perpetual moron constantly pushing shitshow projects and now behind the scenes trying to “lead” all his leaders through dark times which all results because of sheer stupidity and complicit involvement.
These guys have zero ability to discern quality projects from shit projects and always choose the worst ones that go tits up. Everytime
None of these guys had any idea where the funds went or how they were “traded” to produce returns as part of GS Partners and they were meant to be the inside board with other leaders like that Greek chick and Dalcoe.
They all listened to Heit and Zahlmann fast talking and bullshit when there was fuck all proof of anything.
This tells you they all knew it was BS. But intended to cash in as much as possible for as long as possible after the collapse of KaratBars to try and save some face and make enough to survive a lifetime in a year or two. These people should all be hung.
@Oz please advise if you know anything of this next CryptoSpaces card scam next spin off and where it is linked in for the next scam version of GSPartners.

Martene Wallace, head Scammer in Australia, was flashing that card in Croatia last August and whimpering about problems using it last week while on holiday.
Feb 1st is apparently the Australian launch date of the so called ai crypto copy trading bot.
I’ve seen some research on it. Looks like a typical shell company hooked up to a payment merchant set up. On its own without a definitive link to GSB not enough to put a report together on (there’s no angle).
Obviously the GSB settlement claim portal didn’t go live by the end of 2024. I hope to have an update next week but we’ll see how we go.
I have met Martene Wallace and she is as dumb as pig excrement. She is as dumb and gullible as they come. How people can follow her as a leader of anything is beyond me.
She can’t even lead her mouth to eat less and stop looking like a house. How will she lead you into any form of healthy financial advise? The fact that the card is already giving problems and not working shows you.
I don’t see VISA anywhere on these cards? Lies on lies with this lot, perpetually. It’s a perpetual never ending compulsive lie upon lie upon lie with no real facts on the real truth.
All these supposed “leaders” of MLMs have such grandiose narcissistic disorders that their arrogance and sense of self important makes them immune to actual logic and funny enough so gullible that they believe the next MLM “messiah”. Ie Heit, Zahlmann, Eaton will provide the next revolution.
These guys will never revolutionise anything. Anything sold through MLM will not disrupt the worldand become the next greatest thing in the world and MLM especially not these shitty cards.
If it was that good it not need to be sold through MLM. End of story.
Give them a few months and watch them disappear with everyone’s money again after a “hack” or provider issue, or technical issue or delay or rebrand or any other multitude of bait and switch bullshit ruse to rob people.
MLM’s are literally the scum scammers of the earth and prey on the desperate, needy, broke and gullible. Most MLM “leaders” remind me of cult leaders and religious leaders and funny how those that are the most evangelical and the most religious funny enough build the largest flocks that blindly follow their leader to the land of financial nirvana.
Heit will be their saviour, follow and listen to big Croatian gangster man, Heit is also an absolute clown but a very clever and street wise gangster clown, he is far too slimy and snakey for even the wisest.
One good thing is I do know there is a massive investigation into top leaders in SA by the FCSA and Hawks in South Africa and the level of evidence they have is overwhelming.
Time to pay the pied piper. The wheels of retribution turn, they just turn slowly. The Hawks and South Africa take their time but when they move it’s quite amazing to watch.
I believe it’s Mastercard.
Josip Heit seems to be enjoying a nice holiday in the Swiss alps with Alex Bodi, his ex-wife Kristina, and Kristina’s new fella Rustam Shoyket, who is linked to Ion Clamparu’s Romanian trafficking gang (who Heit and Bodi also have links to).
Interestingly, Shoyket has a crown tattooed on his stomach, a known tattoo of human traffickers.
Rustam Shoyket is much more than Kristina’s babysitter. He’s one of Heit’s business partners:
northdata.com/Shoykhet,%20Rustam,%20Hagen/xdl
Shoyket replaced Heit as a member of GSB’s executive board on December 4th, 2024. Heit removed himself as a GSB executive member because reasons.
Hat tip to the BehindMLM reader who brought this to my attention a few weeks ago. We didn’t know who Shoyket was, now things make sense.
Heit and friends do like to share, so to speak.
PS. Do we have a screenshot of Shoyket from the recent social media posts? This is probably worth documenting in an article.
Going to email you…

This would be amazing.
