OmegaPro trots out scam ambassador Steven Seagal
Unable to rest on the legitimacy of their fraudulent business models, Ponzi schemes often push legitimacy via association.
The basic idea is you associate your scam with seemingly legitimate people or companies. This is done to detract attention away from fraud.
It also presents in marketing as “but surely X wouldn’t be involved if Y was a scam?”
OmegaPro’s recent Global Convention was a great example of this.
In attendance at OmegaPro’s event, was none other than serial MLM scam ambassador Steven Seagal.
If you’re wondering what’s up with the Sheiks, OmegaPro is based out of Dubai.
This is no coincidence; operating out of the MLM scam capital of the world has its perks. Moreso if you bend over for the right people.
Seagal’s presence at the event doesn’t appear to extend beyond wowing OmegaPro investors.
Or as OmegaPro put it, Seagal posing for photos “gave us even more energy to do what we do best”.
OmegaPro is Seagal’s third entanglement with MLM Ponzi schemes.
In 2018 Seagal surfaced as Brand Ambassador for the Bitcoiin Ponzi scheme.
US authorities filed criminal charges against Bitcoiin’s founder last year. In 2020 Seagal paid $330,448 to settle Bitcoiin fraud charges filed by the SEC.
A year after he repped Bitcoiin, Seagal turned up to promote Skyway Capital.
Seagal’s appearance in a Skyway Capital promo vid saw him rant, among other things, about illuminati aliens.
Skyway Capital is a long-running Russian MLM Ponzi scheme.
Someone else at OmegaPro’s event who should know better is Eric Worre.
As opposed to Seagal’s passive appearance, Worre got up on stage and gave an “inspiring speech on Network Marketing”.
He encouraged us to be more powerful and explained ways to succeed in this field.
Worre runs Network Marketing Pro.
For over a decade, Network Marketing Pro has been raising the standard of the Network Marketing profession.
We’re not sure how speaking at Ponzi scheme events in scam-friendly jurisdictions fits that narrative.
Here at BehindMLM we routinely shoot down legitimacy via association attempts. If your business model is rotten to the core, who you pay to appear wherever doesn’t change that.
OmegaPro is a simple 200% ROI “crypto trading” Ponzi scheme. Heading up the scam are co-owners Andreas Szakacs, Mike Sims and Dilawar Singh.
Regulatory fraud warnings against OmegaPro have been issued in Colombia, Spain, France, Peru, Belgium and Chile.
Worre used to be in different MLMs but, realized he could make 100X more by selling Fu Fu dust with big ticket prices, to desperate MLMers (They’re ALL desperate).
He claims he’s built organizations of 500,000 people. Well, where the hell are they NOW? Funny, after 70+ years of MLM, the average income of an MLMer is STILL much less than what a minimum wage worker makes at a PT job.
The churn rate of distributors is almost 100% every 120 days, across the board. The comp plan in ALL MLM pyramid schemes is designed to make ONLY the owners and hyenas (3rd party “Trainers”) like Worre rich at the expense of the participants.
I bet there’s a special place in hell for scam artists like Worre.
“Hyenas” is new to me. I like it a lot. It certainly fits.
Isn’t Scammin’ Steve still under a three year ban from promoting securities, as part of his Bitcoiiiiin settlement with the SEC?
The first time you might be able to get away with “I’m a famous actor, I turn up and people pay me, I didn’t know that endorsing securities was any different from breakfast cereal.”
Bit more difficult to claim you had no idea what a security is after taking legal advice and settling a securities fraud suit with the SEC.
Your honor, I was shooting my latest straight-to-video bomb when these these guys picked me up and ushered me into this hall.
I had no idea what was going on. How was I supposed to know this Ponzi scheme would use me for promotion?!
These scammers also joined forces with Jordan Belfort

Marvelous, isn’t it?
Belfort’s name also came up recently in Antares Trade’s marketing. Looks like he’s jumped on the Dubai MLM Ponzi gravy train.
seems that OmegaPro and Decentra are eating up all other Dubai Crypto mlm deals. a race to the Bottom with Follow the Celebrity.
