An upcoming May 19th event in Cali, Colombia was announced in April. On the surface there doesn’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary, but see if you can spot what caught a concerned BehindMLM reader’s attention:
Ruh-roh…
Titled “Jhon Maxwell in Colombia”, the OneLife sponsored event is being put together by Unión Temporal APC. Tickets are being sold through the Colombian ticketing agency Colboletos.
Curiously, neither OneLife or OneCoin are listed as official sponsors of the event. Whether this is intentional is unclear.
According to the Colboletos event page, tickets to the event are selling for $66,000 to $3.9 million COP ($23 to $1354 USD).
Outside of Colombia the OneCoin sponsored event is relatively unknown (I wasn’t aware of it), but Colombian OneCoin affiliates are marketing the event as part of a two-day OneCoin event being held in Cali.
In an event marketing video published by “One Dream Team Spanish” on April 25th, one of the Steinkeller brothers references Maxwell by name ([2:24] approx):
Another video published two days later features Maxwell himself, but suggests he’s under the impression he’ll be speaking to a general network marketing audience:
The lack of publicity OneCoin’s John Maxwell event has received might be a result of how things played out in Croatia.
Back in March, OneCoin sponsored the Congress of South East European Women Entrepreneurs’ annual event in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.
Upon realizing OneCoin was a Ponzi scheme, OneCoin Founder Ruja Ignatova was barred from attending the event.
Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović and Deputy Prime-Minister Martina Dalic were scheduled to speak at the event, but pulled out after learning of OneCoin’s sponsorship.
The moment we found out about the general sponsor and problems associated with OneCoin, Deputy Prime Minister Martina Dalić canceled their participation.
Another possible reason is a regulatory warning against OneCoin issued by Colombia’s Superintendency of Societies in April, 2016.
How much OneCoin have paid to sponsor John Maxwell’s Colombian event is unclear. Ditto whether Maxwell is aware a global Ponzi scheme appears to be a major sponsor of one of his gigs.
With Colombian OneCoin affiliates expected to make up the majority of attendees, inadvertently Maxwell might wind up training them to better commit Ponzi fraud.
With respect to personal liability, Maxwell is a citizen and resident of the US. If OneLife sponsorship money (laundered Ponzi funds) makes up even part of his appearance fee, it could also create legal issues for him with US authorities at a later date.
OneCoin was officially banned in Colombia. That’s why they are not showing as a sponsor. The authorities would shut the event down if they did.
Time to make him aware of what hes going in to.
Written a mail to him.
@TimTayshun @BamseBK @CryptoXpose @OneCoinFacts etc. Why not twitter with @JohnCMaxwell

I sent him a tweet, but don’t know how much good it will do. If others do the same, it might convince him to cancel.
I also sent an email to his team so we will see if it did any good. Hopefully they will get back to me and I can fill them in on all that is going on in the world with OneCoin/OneLife.
Twitter? does his office have a phone or fax number? that could be more effective
member of onecoin is increasing every minute. Now almost 5 millions. It just like tsunami.
I sent a message via his website. Let’s flood it with warnings.
According to onecoin.eu/tech/ it’s “only” 3.1 million. Probably more than half of that are victims of scams that OneCoin has bought out. As for increasing every minute, OneCoin love fake counters/loops.
They got one thing right though:
Don’t think Maxwell will care where he speaks as long as the check comes through and it clears.
He’ll most likely be speaking in general terms rather than specifically about OneCoin.
No, not okay. You don’t get inspire and motivate scammers.
He has associations with notable companies such as Chick-fil-a, Microsoft, Delta plastered on his website. Maybe they can reach him?
Someone better tell Bob Proctor, who spoke often at Vemma events. Heck, he’s got his wife and daughter earn big bucks at Vemma back when it’s open.
There were PLENTY of these speakers at MLM events. However, as long as they don’t endorse or make materially false representations not much can be done with them. (In case of Zeek, those guys are getting sued big bucks because they actually participated, well, maybe except Kaplan)
Actually the Colombian authorities are the ones that need to be contacted about this event. If Colombians are participating they are breaking the law as OneCoin is banned in their country. Maybe they can have someone attend.
I wonder if John Maxwell understands the term “claw back”? Anything he earns from his speaking engagement with OneCoin will eventually be used to help repay the investors who lost money in the ponzi scheme.
The John Maxwell have another risk – – reputation.
Plus, I am surprised he even considered accepting money from OneCoin. A 5-minute search will raise enough red flags for any reasonable person to stay away….far, far away!
I hope he gets the message before it is too late. From what I hear, he’s a stand-up guy.
He’s receive several tweets from different sources. Good job guys.
@TIM
Missed the Live webinar yesterday. Recording? Any news?
Just mention the president and the police general Palomas on Twitter. It’s how they started the investigation on WCM777.
@MOI – half was Onecoin technical analysis and updates, answers to questions like “what’s an OFC worth?” and “can blockchain implement splits, coin doubles, Winter Wonder Wheels?” requirements of a cryptocurrency or multiple cc’s needed to actually bank the unbanked; what is ShapeShift and how to exchange any crypto into any other crypto, etc.
And the other half was about technical comparisons between real cryptocurrency and Onecoin false claims, what are “block times? hash rates? discussion if all coins.
will be pre-mined and then distributed from a central wallet (assumingly operated by Sebastealin GreedWould); would Onecoin implement multi-signature transactions (something oddly alluded to in the alleged, non-technical and supposedly “leaked” Onecoin toilet paper), the difference between legacy system “customer account” data management and blockchain based “coin account” data identification protocol; as well as some great tech explanations of “how does __/__ work exactly?” kinda stuff.
Basically FREE high-quality and high level cryptocurrency education that no one in the Group had ever heard or learned, but all were able to understand via illustrations and walk-throughs.
It was recorded, but not sure if published yet. Can keep you posted. More to come.
OH! Also, potential MASSIVE OC “WHALE” defection (TBD). If sincere, this will make the Moneyed and Maneure brothers downline look like am empty refrigerator.
@TIM
Thank you very much for update and summary.
I always question why are tickets not sold in onecoin, it makes sense since the price of onecoin is legit and so on, or…
Shhhh! Don’t give them any new ideas on how to steal even more money from their victims. They will be all over this in a heartbeat.
They know the well is running dry and this is a new way to steal money.
Haha. A proud John Maxwell in Cali. How much did you get paid.
You dont care, do you? Helping Scammer to Scam even more.
