Kari Wahlroos tells OneCoin victims to “kiss my ass”
Some top earners at least pretend to be remorseful about the millions they stole through OneCoin.
Then there’s Kari Wahlroos, who in an upcoming documentary tells OneCoin victims to “kiss my ass”.
Wahlroos, a Finnish national who describes himself as “one of the grandmaster orchestrators” of OneCoin, is set to feature in “OneCoin – The inside man”.
Wahlroos was appointed an “ambassador” of OneCoin in 2015 (right).
He was demoted in December 2017, eleven months after OneCoin collapsed.
Wahlroos didn’t disclose why he was demoted. OneCoin however put out an official statement, claiming Wahlroos had made consistent miscommunication and misrepresentation(s)”.
Due to consistent miscommunication and misrepresentation of the OneLife Network operations and strategy, the management team of OneLife has taken the unfortunate decision to demote Mr. Wahlroos from all his activities and responsibilities for the Network.
The company has experienced serious legal consequences, following Mr. Wahlroos’ behavior on and off stage, indirectly damaging its credibility and reputation.
In a January 15th OneCoin – The Insider Man trailer, Wahlroos provides insight into his time at OneCoin.
Personally I recall rumors of Wahlroos’ substance abuse dating back to as long as he’d been with OneCoin. For the first time Wahlroos himself publicly confirms the rumors.
Did I drink alcohol? Yes, every day.
Did I use coke? Tons of it.
On the money side of things, Wahlroos claims he received 2% of OneCoin investment throughout Europe.
Finland was making €5 million a month, I get two percent. Germany was making €10 million a month, I get two percent. Russia was making €2 million a month, I get my two percent.
And after a few months we were in €200 million a month. Kiss my ass.
Wahlroos claims that, in OneCoin’s best year, he generated €1.4 billion in stolen funds. 2% of this amount comes to €28 million.
While acknowledging that only “very few people” made money, Wahlroos states anyone who “wasn’t making €100 thousand a month” in OneCoin was a “fucking idiot”.
Wahlroos’ depiction of OneCoin’s top earners is a sad group of middle-aged men preying on young women in Thailand.
(OneCoin’s) top 20 leaders were invited to a special gentlemen’s club. With these Thai girls, with these sex parties.
Sebastian (Greenwood) takes a girl and goes fuck her. (He) comes back and takes another one. He was using his money and power to seduce girls.
Greenwood (in the grey suit), co-founder of OneCoin with Ruja Ignatova (pink dress), was sentenced to twenty years in prison in September 2023.
Circumstances are unclear but Wahlroos goes on to claim whoever is left running OneCoin, at some point tried to assassinate him.
I felt the numbness and dizziness coming into my face. They tried to fucking kill me.
OneCoin has noted ties to organized crime interests in Bulgaria, Russia and Dubai.
Laundering money stolen through OneCoin was a large coordinated effort spanning multiple countries. According to Wahlroos, OneCoin’s operations in China resulted in “a lot” of deaths.
A lot of people were dead in China, bringing the money over the border.
Some said 30, some said even more people were killed.
China began cracking down on OneCoin in 2016. As of May 2018, around 160 OneCoin related arrests had been made.
As part of their investigations, Chinese authorities also managed to seize $7.1 million belonging to Greenwood.
US authorities have pegged OneCoin losses at around €4 billion euros. Wahlroos pegs total OneCoin losses closer to €14 to €15 billion.
OneCoin related criminal proceedings in Italy are ongoing. Germany sentenced OneCoin money launderer Frank Ricketts to prison earlier this month.
That Wahlroos and other OneCoin top earners have faced no repercussions, is an ongoing indictment of Europe’s inability and/or unwillingness to hold those responsible for OneCoin accountable.
Today Wahlroos is promoting Global NFT Group, a Ponzi scheme built around PNGVN tokens and an NFT grift.
Launched in early 2023 and currently going by GNGIM, Global NFT Group, like OneCoin, is a typical MLM crypto Ponzi.
OneCoin – The inside man is being produced by Orlando John, a film production company based out of Sweden. No release date has been set.
How many schemes has this guy been involved in since OneCoin?
DagCoin, Success Factory, Geton Global, Lucky Dozens and Global NFT Group.
Might be some that flew under the radar.
Yikes that face! The combination of West Mongolian (Finnish), Russian and Nordic genes, sprinkled on top with copious amounts of coke and alcohol sums up to one horror of a result.
Imagine being scammed by a mutt that is the human embodiment of an off brand gas station boner pill package :facepalm:
The official launch of OneCoin was in June 2014. Here is the domain registration:

I have now found a photo that Kari Wahlroos uploaded to his Instagram account on February 25, 2014. Four people liked this photo and one of those people was Konstantin Ignatov:

If the two knew each other back in February 2014, I wonder if Kari Wahlroos was involved in setting up the OneCoin scam?

Kari Wahlroos and Ruja Ignatova in September 2015:

It’s possible Wahlroos met Ignatov through Greenwood prior to OneCoin launching.
The Scandinavian pyramid circle was a thing before they all fled to Thailand.
Ruja had a first trial with Bigcoin which failed, not miserably they still took apparently 50 Million there before it collapsed.
Maybe he came in touch with them back then.
The most bizarre “project” this scam-artist attempted to put up after OneCoin was located in Finland. He called the project “Tuohivirta”.
In 2021 Wahlroos walked around claiming that he had somehow obtained a mysterious “mine” in Sodankylä, Finland (tiny town high up in Lapland) where he would mine precious metals and rather bizarrely a bit of cryptos too.
Finnish journos smelled very strong BS – as is typical with Wahlroos – and got onto it in time. The scam didn’t get wind beneath its wings and bull-shit-artist Wahlroos took off his tail between his legs.

PS. If you guys are unaware, in Finland Wahlroos is a well known MLM scammer since the mid 90’s. He started with some soaps and shampoos called Golden Products, moved then to “colostrum tablets” labelled AquaSource around 2000, and after that he was also involved with some coffee-machines and Chinese “beaty products” just before OneCoin.
Back in the days there was some company in Singapore from where they sourced all their shitty MLM-products from.
PS2. Now he’s talking about some mysterious “listing” for his “tokens”. That is nothing new to Wahlroos as he attempted some “backdoor listing” with his colostrum pills too:

I wonder if Kari Wahlroos will have the same comment to say in the High Court in London. I doubt that.

Oz I was told previously by someone who contacted you previously to inform you of the OneCoin Victim Class Action Lawsuit that you informed them that you would only be interested to report on the OneCoin victims class action lawsuit when it was submitted in court.
The OneCoin Victim class action lawsuit has finally been submitted in a London High Court and the defendants have also been named which is detailed in the BBC news link above.
I wasn’t sure how to contact you privately to ask if you could share the information and also provide a link for onecoin victims who follow the behindmlm onecoin posts so they too have an opportunity to register as a claimant within the class action lawsuit if they so wish.
The website for victims to register to apply as a claimant in the lawsuit is onecoinvictims.com. The law firm who are representing onecoin victims in this class action lawsuit is Mishcon de Reya.
If any OneCoin Victim would like to firstly speak to a member of the law team firstly they are welcome to contact the law team directly at [Ozedit: contact details provided on website].
It’s taken many years to reach this monumental class action legal stage which has been a very long and challenging journey for onecoin victims justice. I sure would really appreciate if you could help me to reach victims and provide them with the details of how they can apply as a claimant in the lawsuit if they so wish.
Please note and for verification that Jonathan Levy is NOT our law representative and is not connected to this OneCoin class action lawsuit which is for international victims of OneCoin.
I don’t want victims to be confused hence why confirming. Our legal representatives in the lawsuit is Mishcon de Reya.
If onecoin victims have any questions they want to ask firstly before registering they are welcome to contact the law team with any questions they have at [Ozedit: contact details provided on website] and a member of the law team will contact them.
Hey Jen, thanks for the update. I’ve removed the email address as contact information is available on the referenced site.
Any chance of a copy of the filed Complaint?
Hi Oz,
Thank you. Can you send me your email address through to my email please and once court records become public I can notify you.
The OneCoin victims class action lawsuit, all defendants named within it and worldwide freezing orders have been detailed in the bbc article for the moment. As soon as I am able to send you further information I will.
There is no such thing as a “class action” in England. I’m assuming you mean a Group Action?
400 or so people? Not to knock it but that doesn’t sound a lot when you consider how many millions of victims there were
Hi Stevie,
Let me rephrase ‘OneCoin Victim Group Action Lawsuit Claim’
Over 400 international onecoin victims so far has completed the full registration and applied their name as a claimant so far and increases in number everyday.
The book building phase is in early days and we have a long way to go still. As you can imagine victims who speak different languages need help and this also takes time.
I haven’t spoke about the many victims who have not yet completed registrations and are in the process of doing so. The number of victims will increase and that will become apparent over time, this is only only the beginning.
Thank you for your comment though. Much appreciated.
I don’t visit here much as I am far to busy helping and supporting victims and each day continues to become a busier schedule for me.
I will do my best to answer when I can but if delayed please know why.
I will keep Oz updated directly as it is very important to deliver accurate information that reaches onecoin victims who visit behindmlm regarding OneCoin and any interest they may have regarding updates on the onecoin victim group action lawsuit claim.
Hence also confirming previously that our legal representation is Mishcon de Reya and not Jonathan Levy. Accurate information is very important going forward so not to confuse onecoin victims.
I also will make sure I will have the correct wording regarding the name of our group action lawsuit claim. Thank you for highlighting that Stevie 🙂
@Stevie
Are you sure? An English law firm names four types of class actions.

@ Melanie
I’m pretty sure.
A class action is a very American thing where somebody can represent a group and people can drop in or out. You don’t need their express permission. American Law is derived from English Law of course and the terms might get confused but that is where the similarities end.
In England, the bringing of this has to go through the pain of registering every single claimant, in other words a “group”.
That’s a fundamental difference.
The civil procedure rules in England might allow for competition law things that would be what look like civil actions in the US but that is a moot point here.
As for what the “Mighty Eagle” Kari Wahlroos feels about all of this? He already told us. Anyone who didn’t make more money is stupid. And he doesn’t care. He also doesn’t have any obvious ties to the UK and will probably stick to places where UK courts have no influence
@ Stevie
Kari Wahlroos’ answer is clear and unambiguous.

I expect the British judicial authorities to apologize to Kari Wahlroos immediately. 😀

I guess it died then.
Sanctimonious much McAdam?
You wrote a book but you have difficulty with grammar? Grammarly is free. While we have your attention; I read your book. The blurb on Amazon said you worked with the FBI. Where’s that in the book?
Is the “class action” not just an attempt to promote yourself?
Kari Wahlroos died today in Malaysia. Cause of death: some kind of infection and blood poisoning. He had his leg amputated but he couldn’t be saved.

Damn I knew he was unwell. RIP.
Bit of a depressing article to put together but he did make a big enough name for himself I guess.
