Jhony Depresseux’s secret GTI Ponzi schemes
When we last checked in on serial Ponzi scammer Jhony Depresseux a few years ago, things weren’t going so well.
A reader advises Depresseux is still scamming victims, but these days he’s mostly doing it “in secret”.
Before we get into that, a quick recap if you’re not familiar with Depressseux’s scamming.
Depresseux (right), a Belgian national, is behind the GTI-Net Ponzi scheme.
Following a regulatory fraud warning from Belgium in 2017, Depresseux took the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) to court.
Despresseux got steamrolled and GTI-Net went on to collapse in February 2019.
Shortly after Depresseux fled to Dubai and, from the MLM crime capital of the world, announced a Global Technology Innovation reboot in April 2019.
Global Technology Innovation saw Depresseux get into cryptocurrency fraud. The first Global Technology Innovation Ponzi was the old “crypto mining” ruse.
That didn’t last long, and between 2020 and 2021 Depresseux went on to launch a number of shit token Ponzis. None of them lasted too long.
Although it went into steep decline towards the end of 2020, Global Technology Innovation didn’t officially collapse until April 2021.
Depresseux immediately announced a “reset” (reboot) but, as far as we know, that didn’t go anywhere.
Today Depresseux continues to defraud consumers with Global Technology & Innovation.
Global Technology & Innovation operates from the domain “gti.ae”, registered by “Sven Lefeber” of “Artemis Marketing Management LLC” on an unknown date.
Up until September 2023 Depresseux was running Global Tree, a Global Technology & Innovation spinoff Ponzi scheme.
Global Tree Investors were pitched on 2% a week for 100 weeks.
Naturally Global Tree collapsed well before the 100 week maturity period.
Inside Global Tree you also had Global Cars.
GET CARS WITH CRYPTO
Enter the world of endless opportunities of Global Cars with our GCT Token.
Global Cars’ website is still up at “globalcars.com”, but as I understand it the scam has collasped.
After Global Tree and Global Car collapsed, Depresseux told
victims to re-invest the same amount, in order to receive back the whole in 100 new weeks.
That was 15 months ago, with our reader claiming to have not yet received a cent back.
They will have kept my money during 4.5 years without giving a profit. It is hard to believe they will ever give it back.
Another Global Technology and Innovation Ponzi spinoff is EasyCash999.
EasyCash999 operates from the domain “easycash999.com”, privately registered on September 7th, 2022.
It’s another cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, marking the umpteenth launch in this niche for Depresseux.
Easycash999 is a revolutionary and decentralized stable coin platform.
Leveraging the strong network of Tron Blockchain, with Easycash999, you can send, receive and store your crypto assets for free!
Behind the generic marketing pitch above, EasyCash999 investors are pitched on 2% a week.
Despite EasyCash999 having no verifiable source of external revenue, its website claims to offer “unlimited” and “risk-free” earnings.
EasyCash999 returns are paid in EasyTokens, which will naturally be non-withdrawable when EasyCash999 inevitably collapses.
As of January 2023, EasyCash’s website traffic was too low for SimilarWeb to bother tracking.
Depresseux’s current Ponzi scheme sees him incorporate AI into the same old tired Ponzi model.
Profit Link sees Depresseux and sidekick Alex Javed (?), pitch investors on “money generators”.
Supposedly Profit Link generates revenue via a Blue NRG crypto mining box…
…but of course we’ve seen this scam before from Depresseux.
Profit Link runs from the domain “profitlink.vip”, privately registered on June 20th, 2023.
There is no mention of Depresseux on Profit Link’s website. As of January 2024, SimilarWeb tracked just ~1700 monthly ProfitLink website visits. 100% of the traffic came from France.
It’s hard to imagine who’s still falling for Jhony Depresseux Ponzi schemes in 2024, but apparently they’re all French.
Update 27th February 2024 – Two more “secret” Jhony Depresseux Ponzi schemes are Fortuna Notes and REPS.
As above, Fortuna Notes is similar to Global Trees and EasyCash999. REPS also pitches investors on weekly passive returns.
Article updated to add Fortuna Notes and REPS.
This is the end. payement are stopped since January.
The clients have lost their money. AGAIN.
Bob is right… Easycash, Global Trees & co. are all dead. No fresh news.
Here is the official statement from Depresseux to justify the non payment to the clients.
He also confirm the ponzi :
“the only way to make money is to recruit”
now gti is also referring to kryptonomy, gti isn’t accessable for a while now.
Ugh not another Jhony Depresseux scam. Thanks, added to the review list.
I’ve received an email from them, their new scam is called Kryptonomy. I haven’t checked what it is but it seems to be an other pyramid recruiting scam with a fake crypto token.
They claim to have 12 000 members but that’s obviously false.
Edit: Sorry i haven’t seen someone was 2 days faster than me. Good to see people are still surveilling this scamer and reporting his new scams.
The article and comments here are wrong. This reveals that both you and perputrators are scams.
Jan: GTI.ae is still accessible and has been for the last several years. They still add their useless GTplus and GTFT token to people’s accounts which nobody can swap for something useful. You CAN withdraw them but since no exchange carry these you’ve got nowhere to go.
You used to swap them on that backoffice for BTC but they removed that option. In my case it took +6 months to swap 5000GTPlus (the max allowed per swap).
As for the other things mentioned here.
Global Cars co-operated with the Dutch company called Cardriver Deals to deliver cars. They HAVE delivered cars. I have seen and driven them. But when Cardriver Deals collapsed all cars had to be returned to the leasing companies.
The first year (actually a few months) Global Cars paid out money to keep people mobile whom had to return their car. I was able to rent a Lynk&co 01 car for “free” for about 10 months. As of now I pay for that car all by myself.
MyGTexchange (that plot to spend 100USD to get GT-tokens paid out) worked like this. You spend 100USD on a “contract”. Of which 50USD was USDT and 50USD was GT-tokens. They’d pay out 1% of that contract every week.
After 100 weeks you would have gotten the full amount out including your GT-tokens. When they implemented this scheme they disabled withdraw on the gti.ae website.
Where upto then you could “swap” GT-tokens to BTC. But you could swap max. 5000GTplus to BTC and you had to wait several months (about 6 months) before getting actually paid.
In my case I got paid ONCE until myGTexchange became active. myGTexchange DID pay out withdrawals irregularly. In my own case the last payment I received was a withdrawal from September 7th 2024 which got paid out in October 25 2024.
They issued an email on November 2nd 2024 that “for now” withdrawals to external wallets would be cancelled on December 1st 2024.
As for their members. They have about 54’000 members in Belgium and Netherlands for GTI (gti.ae). I heard they had about 3000 members for myGTexchange.
I have no idea about kryptonomy since I’m not using it. In fact I am about to file a complained to my local police (like I did for Ed Zimbardi) to Sven Lefeber the other person behind GTI-scams.
As for kryptonomy. I’ve seen their website and it looks and works exactly like myGTexchange. They call those contracts “K-Packs” now and you pay fully with USDT TRC20 this time.
They cost 200USD and you get a weekly return of 2USDT per K-pack. This is exactly the same as with myGTexchange 1% weekly return until your K-pack is supposedly fully paid back (about 100 weeks).
As of now I believe you CAN fully withdraw your earned USDT until probably halfway through the program. Or maybe even in a few months when interest falls short.
I don’t know whether they pay out the withdrawals as irregularly as they did with myGTexchange. Since I don’t know anybody using that crap or even trusting Johny Depresseux and Sven Lefeber (the 2 ppl behind all those GTI-related scams) anymore.
You’re upset about this article detailing Depresseux’s various scams. And then you go on to complain about said scams?
I think you’re a little confused there. That and a little naive about the bullshit marketing attached to MLM Ponzis.
