$160 million tracked across Andreas Szakacs’ seized devices
Turkish authorities have tracked around $160 million across electronic devices seized from Andreas Szakacs.
The first details since Szakacs’ arrest on July 10th have been reported by Turkish media.
Szakacks (right), who was hiding in Turkey as “Emre Avci”, denies OmegaPro collapsed in late 2022.
As reported by Timur Soykan of Birgun on August 21st, Szakacs claims OmegaPro
was not established for fraud. The company went bankrupt around September or October 2022.
We suffered the biggest loss. We covered the losses of many victims until we went bankrupt.
The reality is OmegaPro was a Ponzi scheme from inception in late 2018. OmegaPro victim losses are reported to run into the billions, most of which remains unaccounted for.
Explaining what he was doing in Turkey, why he changed his name and what he did for a living, Szakacs told Turkish authorities;
During his interrogation, [Szakacs] was asked, “Is there anyone you have escaped and hid from by changing your real name and surname?”
[Szakacs] said, “No, there is not. I changed it because it was my legal right.”
[Szakacs] said that he works in finance and marketing and his monthly income is $100,000.
He explained that he recently received citizenship due to his construction work. But he did not remember the places he made construction investments.
A raid on Szakacs’ 4-story luxury villa saw authorities seize
32 cold wallets containing cryptocurrencies and password storage devices.
On a computer that could be opened, numerous OmegaPro documents and records of very large amounts of money movements were found.
This folder also contained records of wallet addresses belonging to numerous cryptocurrencies. It was also seen that there was information about crypto and wallet numbers on numerous whiteboards in the villas.
So far Szakacs is reported to be non-cooperational. He has not provided authorities with passwords to seized electrical devices, including cryptocurrency wallets.
Authorities raided a second villa, rented in the name of Swedish national Stefan Andreas.
Andreas is reported to be an accomplice of Szakacs and remains at large. BehindMLM is unfamiliar with the name.
Andreas’ known OmegaPro co-founder accomplices, Michael Shannon Sims and Dilawar Singh, remain at large.
Szakacs is believed to still be held in Maltepe prison. The full scope of the international OmegaPro investigation has yet to be made public.
I lost all respect for Eric Worre when he got involved with OmegaPro, and refuse to listen to anything that man has to say.
When are they going to go after Eric Worre?
Funny how Worre has distanced himself from OmegaPro, when it’s obvious he was a huge part of it. Oz’s research into Worre’s involvement with OmegaPro should be read by every network marketer.
We can only hope someone goes after Eric Worre. He’s a detriment to the MLM industry, truly a money-sucking training whore, portraying himself like some sort of “MLM god”.
Worre’s a narcissist’s narcissist. The industry will be a better place when Worre’s no longer a part of it. If Worre ‘goes down’ like other ponzi scheme crooks, then it’s time to celebrate.
Worre’s charging $3000 for his December 3-day training convention. Just like previous years, thousands of unsuspecting ignorant idiots will fork over their money, thinking their going to get all sorts of ‘secrets’ from the MLM god when all they get is Worre’s repackaging of generic training. He’s such a scumbag.

Stefan and Andreas are also common first names in Germany.
The shannon mike sims and other big fish must be dragged out too, lots of innocent decieved investor have gone dead by hanging themselves some drank poisons to settle the scored because of the shame, very tediculous and threatening.
Justice must be served accordingly, no matter how long this OMP pondzi issue drags.
I could use 160 million about right now And a slab of BBQ ribs because I haven’t had lunch yet.
Curious with the dozens of cold storage devices if they’d be able to access any of them.
As for victims of the thing, there are no victims, just willing participants fueled by their own greed and willingness to gamble. I’d bet the majority of them moved on to another very similar one once it folded.
