Laurent Louis flaunts OneCoin criminal complaint
Earlier today BehindMLM reported on a criminal complaint filed in Belgium, related to the promotion of OneCoin.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office has charged former politician Laurent Louis with pyramid selling, fraud, money laundering and violation of common and banking laws.
As of yet the criminal complaint is in the early stages. La Libre however report that the judge who heard the case yesterday, prohibited the complainant from participating in ‘any activity related to virtual currency and network marketing‘.
Louis had been scheduled to appear at a OneCoin event to be held on November 26th.
In promotional material for the event, Louis is credited as a OneLife “Emerald”.
Other OneCoin affiliates advertised to attend include Stamatoullas Vasilios (Ruby), De waele Alian (Ruby) and Konstantinos Bakalis (Diamond).
Despite a criminal complaint filed against him, Laurent Louis attended the scheduled event and took to the stage.
Louis claims he’s an “honest man” and that the charges against him are slanderous.
I can assure you that never in my life I didn’t scam anyone.
People, I’m trying to help them for years, no scamming them. That’s what I’m doing with onelife and network marketing.
Today nobody can complain of having lost anything by buying packs at onecoin. Anyone!
I’m so stunned and amazed. I feel like I’m living in a bad dream.
In a Facebook post published a few hours ago, Louis can be seen holding up a copy of DH newspaper, who were first to cover the criminal charges filed against him.
Mic in hand infront of about forty OneCoin affiliates (each charged 30 EUR to attend), Louis rants at the camera in French for just over half a minute.
Recent Facebook posts by Louis express Donald Trump style vitriol toward Belgium’s press. Which is somewhat strange, considering the charges against him will play out in court.
By all means though, if Laurent Louis can prove he didn’t scam thousands of Belgians out of millions of dollars (and profit handsomely in the process), then the evidence has to be presented in court.
Continuing to scam people through a global Ponzi scheme and flaunting it on social media despite there being a criminal complaint against you?
Yeah, Louis doesn’t strike me as someone who’s all that intelligent. This probably isn’t going to end well for him.
does anyone know dutch/french and can translate that la libre article for us?
this is the line from the article about the ‘injunction’:
when i translate the article to english, this line reads:
‘The complainant received the investigating judge an injunction to stop any activity related to virtual currency and network marketing.’
when i use google translate this line reads:
‘The complainant received a warning from the investigating judge to stop all activities related to virtual money as well as network marketing.’
it is not CLEAR whether an ‘injunction’ was granted against the accused laurent louis.
also, in belgium when a complaint is filed before an investigating judge, it does not necessarily mean that the case is being ‘heard’.
i think that onecoin being a complex international scam, a complaint has been filed before an ‘investigating’ judge who will now begin formal investigations. i’m not Sure an injunction has been granted against louis yet.
It’s the early AM in Europe at the moment unfortunately.
We should get confirmation though within a few hours. I’m reading the translation as an injunction was granted.
It could also be a bad translation of the an injunction being requested in the complaint.
Either way continuing to promote a global Ponzi scheme in light of a criminal investigation and request or granting of an injunction seems pretty dumbass to me.
laurent louis has removed his official facebook page : Laurent LOUIS – Debout Les Belges officiel
i don’t know why he bothered because his other FB page: Laurent Louis, has all of the same posts and the video showing him at the latest onecoin meeting.
and he has been deleting any negative posts from his FB page. unfortunately criminal investigations cannot be deleted by pressing a tab!
You can’t take down OneCoin, because OneCoin has underground connections in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is maybe the only state in the world fully controlled by underground organizations.
I can assure you, that this OneCoin thing even if taken down, just would change its name and continue working.
Bad thing is that personal information collected by OneCoin from all over the world is going to these underground organizations in Bulgaria. What would happen with this information?!
It seems nobody really cares. How long would OneCoin has to scam people all over the world to give personal information and money before someone stops them?!
That person Ruja Ignatova was business woman of the year in Bulgaria for 3 consecutive years from (2012 to 2014). She have bought properties for millions of euro without anyone to ask her where the money came from.
She of course is absolutely legal here but her company officially does not operate in Bulgaria. She has connections with political leaders, banks, businesses and what not… the rabbit hole is more deep than you could ever imagine.
I hope one day there would be justice for all these scammed people but I highly doubt it. There is not any justice in Bulgaria (personal experience).
@Anonymous
For one, different sources directly affiliated with OneCoin list Ruja Ignatova as EITHER “Business Woman of the Year 2012 (ONLY), while other sources list 2012 AND 2014.
I’ve also seen stories that mention both OR one, as will as 2013; but I’ve never seen anywhere state all 3 years.
SECONDLY, “Business Woman of the Year” is NOT an official Bulgarian Title. In fact, it is no different from what Ignatova of already notorious for doing, which is “Pay-to-Play” (ie., the Forbes “cover,” the Financial IT scandal [a straight REPRINT of January Issue with Gareth Richardson on the cover: 48 of the 52 pages being IDENTICAL], and her being “invited” to speak at the 2015 EU Summit by the Economist Magazine [in which OneCoin PAID for “Platinum Sponsorship” of the event ([since scrubbed entirely from the Economist website History, despite clearly displaying both preceding and post Event listings)]).
HERE IS EVEGNI MINCHEV’S PR FIRM WEBSITE DESCRIBING HOW YOU TOO CAN BE AWARDED “BULGARIAN BUSINESS MAN/ WOMAN OF THE YEAR” (or model, or dog, or restaurant, etc.).
NOTE: Evegni is quite the flamboyant character (and embellishing manipulator of titles and Awards, including his own), as some quick research will easily render. He also owns and/ or has/ is affiliated with a number of tabloid like news rags and magazines (which Ruja has also had previous coverage in)
Seervices (sic)/ (translated)
SOURCE: minchev.com/en/index.html
So, just to remind everyone, Ruja and OneCoin have NEVER (to my knowledge) had ANY legitimate Press, coverage, awards, etc.
…at last not any legitimate or “positive” coverage, that is.
The following was part of the story which hadn’t been mentioned, but whom the victim (who filed the criminal complaint) made a point of re-emphasizing. He lives in Belgium and the translation below is his:
Le plaignant a reçu du juge d’instruction une mise en demeure de cesser toute activité liée au monnaie virtuelle ainsi que du marketing de réseau.
Translation (according to the victim in the case):
The complainant was instructed by the investigating judge to cease all activity related to virtual money as well as network marketing.
About the translation of “injunction” in the phrase “Le plaignant a reçu du juge d’instruction”:
That’s not a warning. That’s an order.
The judged has formally (mise en demeure) ordered him to stop dealing with crypto and network marketing.
I’m taking that as confirmation that an injunction was indeed ordered and Louis violated it.
Next week could be amusing if the prosecution files a motion with evidence.
“Le plaignant” in this case is definitely not Laurent Louis. From what I understand the plaintiff is someone who was scammed by Louis and sold onecoin himself.
If I understand correctly the press release, only the victim (who also was an affiliate) has been ordered to stop dealing with crypto.
Now there is a “juge d’instruction” in charge of documenting the case and deciding whether action should be taken against Louis. It’s still in the early stage and as far as I know nothing has been decided.
In the meantime, Louis will continue to recruit, his whole message is that newspapers, banks and politicians are corrupt. It perfectly fits his narrative to have negative press.
You have to know that the guy is some sort of local guru among a certain part of the belgian population, mostly deprived and feeling disenfranchised.
He’s a seasoned political con artist. He was elected on a populist anti islam list (Parti Populaire), then became president of a radical islamic party (ISLAM), then created his own party (Debout les Belges, “anti-zionist”).
He managed to keep his followers through all that (he won almost 5% in his constituency in the last elections, much more than when he was actually elected).
So… no injunction?
I have checked all articles I could find so far.
dhnet.be had the scoop, does not mention a source, and uses the label “EXCLUSIF”
NOLINK://dhnet.be/actu/faits/la-grosse-arnaque-de-laurent-louis-2-millions-d-euros-envoles-58387ce9cd70a4454c055a18
Other websites followed, they all refer to “Belga” as being the source of the news. Belga is a Belgian News Agency (www.belga.be/) which distributes communiqués in French and Dutch.
The articles on hln.be, demorgen.be (both in Dutch), 7sur7.be, dhnet.be and lalibre.be (all in French) are almost identical, i.e. they just published the Belga news item.
French:
Dutch:
English:
As Dutch is my first language, I confirm that the word “bevel” means “order” or “command” (so it’s stronger than a “warning”).
But all things considered there is no evidence (yet) that an injunction has been laid on Laurent Louis. However, this case will not stay unnoticed in Belgium, the Netherland, Germany and France, so I’m very curious how this story develops.
Sorry, I made a mistake. The French articles on 7sur7.be and lalibre.be are identical, the article on dhnet.be is different.
So alright, we can confirm no injunction has been granted?
In my opinion: yes, there is no evidence for that yet.
Alrighty. I’ve revised, please read and confirm it’s accurate as per what’s currently known.
Us non-French speakers thank you!
oz this doesn’t sound right as the injunction is not ‘confirmed’:
it could read – despite a criminal complaint against him, laurent louis attended…
He must end in the jail unless he leaves the country before as he’s planning to do.
now that a criminal complaint has been filed, the investigating judge can issue an arrest warrant for louis.
because this case is a complex serious case the prosecutor has brought it before the investigating judge. now the state has more ‘power’ in conducting the investigation ie it can do searches and make seizures etc.
the investigating judge can issue an arrest warrant against the accused if s/he feels the accused will harm the public, or escape, or destroy evidence. this is called a pretrial arrest. or the judge can allow the accused to remain free with some conditions.
in this case we have a pyramid scheme which has allegedly stolen 2 million euros in belgium, an accused who is continuing to collect and launder onecoin money, who has deleted FB pages within a day of the complaint becoming public, and who in an ‘open letter’ on 24th november, 2016, considered requesting for ‘political asylum’ in iran or russia.
louis will have to appear before the investigating judge next, and then he may just get arrested or barred from conducting any further onecoin business.
Thanks for catching that.
this page is available now.
don’t know if it’s disappearance was some error or whether louis had something to do with it.
The award was actually “Business Lady of the year” by Business Lady magazine. AFAIK, she was awarded in 2012 and 2014. Was probably arranged by Minchev.
NOLINK://www.onecoin.eu/img/photos/x_71193_6.jpg
“бИЗНЕС ДАМА НА ГОДИНАТА 2014” means “Business Lady of the Year 2014”.
Business Lady is a Bulgarian magazine.
NOLINK://www.businesslady.eu
it’a a ” mise en demeure ” in French, it means he has been warned by the court to stop what he is doing, if he does not, sanction could be taken against him…. it seems vague to me …. says to stop virtual money and network marketing…
Don’t think network marketing is illegal there?
Laurent Louis has gone full retard (Facebook):
Once you start referencing god instead of explaining how you didn’t scam people, its over.
“God” isn’t a defence in court. You need solid evidence.
@sly
I take this to mean the same as what was ruled in India, to the affect that neither one or the other are forbidden, but when combined as “cryptocurrency MLM” that is what he has been warned against. That’s my take anyway.
only that there are more and more crypto stuff out there…..using network marketing to develop it…….. even using bitcoins….. even though it’s not from bitcoin, there are 8000 companies in network marketing…. thats what I meant…
I haven’t kept up to date with established companies, but in my experience the only MLM companies utilizing cryptocurrency are cash gifting and Ponzi schemes.
Hi guys. This is my 1st post here.
I am the person who introduced the complain against Laurent Louis.
I wanted to clarify this wrong information from the journalist about this:
So far i haven’t recieved any notification from any investigating judge to cease all activity to virtual money or MLM.
Actually i don’t want to hear anymore about MLM or stuff like this.
This is a mistake from the journalist. It only engages the journalist.
And i would like to thank you guys for opening my eyes against this fucking scam.
“Mis en demeure” is explained to me by a lawyer friend as a process that starts when a debtor has failed to meet his obligations.
Who the debtor is and what for in this situation is not entirely clear.
The bottom line is that Onecoin and its practices are going to be examined in a legal context in Belgium and Louis’ involvment will make sure that it receives a large amount of attention, so all good.
You have that back to front.
The Network Marketing industry has seen the opportunity to make quick bucks in the crypto sphere by leeching their pyramids onto ersatz “coins”, just like they have in the past with dietary supplements, cosmetics and the like.
Given Joe Public’s weakness for the “next big thing” and FOMO approach to investment, as well as regulatory uncertainty, it’s a fertile area for these parasites.
None of the cryptocurrencies that actually have a functional niche and are technically rigorous have needed any MLM help to develop and become established, as you can see from looking at the top coins on Coinmarketcap.
Coinmarketcap is far from perfect or trustworthy, it’s probably owned by the same anons who run CoinTelegraph and is advert revenue driven.
Their only criteria for inclusion of a coin (much sought after status by scammers) are
1) Must be traded on a public exchange with an API
2) Must have a non-zero volume so that a price can be determined
There is also a growth in dubious exchanges attempting to get listed by CMC and in turn listing scam coins in which they have an interest.
The whole environment is fraught with danger for Joe P, especially when he’s continually bombarded with End of the Financial World propaganda and looking for safe haven type investment.
Crypto is about as safe haven as buying a Rollex in the street from a guy with blacked out BMW and a big dog.
so, one day he’s flaunting the criminal complaint and announcing a successful onecoin meeting, and the next day he’s begging god for help?
louis is once again whining about the ‘system’ being out to get him as he’s been singled out of 2.7 million onecoin affiliates across the world:
well, it’s not everyday that high profile ex members of parliament run around fleecing their own electorate in a ponzi scheme. it isn’t everyday that a country’s regulator like the belgian FSMA issues a warning against onecoin specifically naming a person ie laurent louis:
when the FSMA ‘named’ him, louis should have understood that trouble was looking for him.
fsma.be/en/Site/Repository/press/warnfsma/2016/07-08_onecoins.aspx
more onecoin affiliates are beginning to talk about the secrety secret payment system which has been set up to transfer affiliate funds to onecoin:
i think secret payment systems shared from top affiliates downwards, are going to slow down recruitment in onecoin. this is the beginning of the end and onecoin is going to splutter and choke to a slow death.
@Gazmend
Thanks for stopping by.
I appreciate you might not want to discuss the matter further, but can you clarify once and for all if the Judge issued an injunction against Louis?
Or did the reporter get the fact that an injunction was not issued against anybody wrong?
I’ve never been left so confused by translation issues before! Thanks in advance.
laurent louis has posted a ‘press release’ an hour back on FB.
he claims that since onecoin is not due to go public till 2018, no one can say with certainty that it is a scam.
one does not have to wait till 2018 to see that onecoin is being sold via a pyramid scheme, as the criminal complaint has alleged.
ridiculously overpriced ‘education packages’ are being sold from one affiliate to another with zero retail in a pyramid scheme scam.
louis further argues that onecoin has 2.7 million members around the world who travel freely and hence cannot be a scam:
louis should travel to china to demonstrate his point! or name any top onecoin recruiter who has traveled to china since the onecoin arrests there. what about the US, UK, india, how freely do onecoin recruiters travel there?
basically louis is just spouting shit, he got caught stealing money in a ponzi scheme and is making whiny excuses to his electorate hoping they’ll continue to support him.
facebook.com/laurentlouisdlb/?fref=ts
Oh OneCoin is “in development” now is it?
So how the f. have scammers like Laurent Louis gotten people to invest in it then?
You can’t justify Ponzi points by claiming to be “in development”.
What was it initially, March this year OneCoin was going to have 500,000 merchants? Push the date back to 2018 on a whim and… what Ponzi?
Give me a break. These scammers are full of it.
Sometimes I just love auto-translate on FB:
LOL
Not public yet, too funny. They’ve been taking the public’s money since 2014, so that won’t float.
If/when this guy gets prosecuted, it will be interesting to see what the spin machines like Labine come up with.
As per my layer this morning no.
I had the impression for few minitues that this site has been hacked….
was written : “this site is full”…?
Nah, you don’t want the drivel that came out of those minds. It’s all fantasy like unicorns pooping rainbow and stuff.
@anjali
Yesterday I tweeted, “if OneCoin sells “cryptocurrency ‘Education Packages,'” than how come people with $5K+ “invested” still think Bitcoin is a company. SMH!
@Oz
“30% *mined” was around April 19th~ish approximately, when ~630,000 coins where circulated. Top Leaders had all made various claims regarding merchants “waiting to be onboarded” (though 150,000 was a super common “middle ground” claim) lol.
We all knew this was bullshit and the company SAID NOTHING AT ALL for literally 2 months (finally at “CoinRush, London on Junev11th), when they said, “(SORRY, WE HAVE ZERO MERCHANTS, BUT) ..YOU REPS WILL HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET THEM AND WE’LL HAVE 1MILLION!!!
So, 18 -24 months to get one MILLION merchants is 40-55,000+ merchants average per month EVERY MONTH. how have OneCoin done to take stride???
In FIVE MONTHS there seem to be less than even one dozen merchants (who are all affiliate member/ victim/ unicorn-rainbow-fart-sniffers anyway). That’s an average of TWO per month (not >50,000)
To make matters worse, as we seen in a recent post, OneCULT Corporate issued a statement that “No merchants can use OC as currency ‘until we go public.'”
Soooooo… Once again, there will be (this time) one MILLION merchants “*waiting to onboard” someone in 2018 (!!!!!) FFS!!! WAKE UP VICTIM ZOMBIE UNICORN FART SNIFFERS!!! IT’S NOT HAPPENING!! EVER!!
As a reminder of EXACTLY how this Will repeat itself in 2018 AGAIN, I present Ken Labile and the infamous “merchants coming soon…you can but Ferraris, watches, (and canned unicorn farts) with you’re OneCoins!!!”

Host broke something last Friday. Will give them to the end of the week to fix it on their end otherwise I’ll file a ticket.
I’m having issues on my end uploading article images and with email :(.
For what it’s worth…
Hey guys been following your posts for a while and appreciate all the input and hardwork you have contributed in raising awareness against this Onecoin scam.
I thought I’d add my own research and after I found out that they were apparently shairiah accredited I emailed the centre for Islamic banking Alhuda to get more information and this is their response …
CoinSafe is attached to a Ponzi scheme, through which existing affiliates enrich themselves with newly invested funds.
No matter how much OneCoin paid AlHuda for CoinSafe certification, you can’t make a Ponzi scheme Shariah compliant.
the swedish gaming board had investigated onecoin in early 2016 and found that:
the gaming board forwarded the onecoin case to the swedish police for further investigation in late march 2016.
we don’t know the current status of the police investigation, but generally investigations take a long time especially in complex cases like onecoin, which is registered through shell companies in offshore tax havens.
the swedish paper Göteborgs-Posten had reported:
pablo munoz is the CEO of onelife [onecoin] and thus an ‘official representative’ of the company.
the swedish police and press can certainly demand some answers from him about onecoin!
how do we report this event in sweden? any ideas?
https://behindmlm.com/companies/onecoin/swedish-police-launch-preliminary-onecoin-investigation/
Also Frank Ricketts gonna be in Sweden. I wonder if they finally try to get the OneSiteTalk platform up and running. Ricketts announced about month ago that OneCoiners can get some discount coupons against their OneCoins. Whoop whoop! 😀
I suspect this is one of the main themes in Sweden.
This coupon coin thingy will generate even more facepalm class comedy, that’s for sure.
RE: AlHuda Centre of Islamic Banking and Economics
If they’re stiking to that story they’re gonna have a bad time
affiliates are questioning why a secret transfer system is required as it raises trust issues for new investors. the response from top affiliates is that secrecy is required as there are people ‘spying’ on onecoin activities.
really! why would a legit company be worried about ‘spies’? they are creating the ‘reserve currency of the world’ for god’s sake, so why are they shitting their pants?
the conversation continued in the same vein for a short time and then guess what happened?

I have a comment awaiting moderation #52 with info whwere to report in Sweden, but im not sure it will show up.?
Well The Swedish Enforcement Authority is chasing Kenny Nordlund. He owes about 11000000skr to the state. But he has no comments…
If you watched the broadcasting tv4 you can see him with a shadow over his face.
Actually that was (at least by the Finnish Country Director of OneCoin) 50 000 merchants in March 2016 and 100 000 by the summer.
May I note that the ground is covered by some two to three inches of snow here in Finland. I’m pretty sure the summer has come and gone already.
This is the notification of my lawyer Mr.André-Philippe Vandesmal in my FaceBook :
I don’t why but this didn’t appear well above:
The elements suggesting that the ONE Corner is an outright scam and that all those involved in it could be prosecuted for participation in a scam (5 to 10 in jail) are:
thanks for the information mr Gazmend Hoxhaj.
could you tell us what happens next now that your criminal complaint has been filed?
Next OneCoin will try to make it appear like there will be some usability for the coin, by doing this ridiculous discount coupon OneSiteTalk.
This way they can claim that there is “valid usability” with merchant, though in reality a user needs to buy products with real money and just gets some discount code with Onecoins (probably even better discounts can be acquired from thousands other discount sites).
The problem, Mr Hoxhaj, is that you are yourself a scammer by having created your own scam business: Automated Marketing System.
gazmendhoxhaj.com
And that’s why the judge asked you to stop all activities related to MLM. A scammer complaining about a scammer! I was thinking sharks don’t eat each other.
One Life Event Gothenburg now up on the eventlist.
Lets do what we can to stop this. onelifeevents.eu/en/events/onelife-event-start-with-trust-a-new-year-and-a-new-beginning
Oh thanks Anonymous to remind me to desactivate all my Power lead system. I din’t renew anyway the monthly fee.
I don’t promote anything anyway since weeks now.
Oh they do, as the wheels fall off Onecoin you watch (your back) anon….
ok, so that makes sense, that’s what I wrote in #9, the victim was also involved in other MLM schemes. There has been no action taken against Louis who is still free to “promote onecoin” as much as he wants.
If you go to any of the newspaper article now a large number of comments are onecoiners explaining it’s a conspiracy against louis for “political reasons” (one of the lawyers of Hoxhaj Gazmend seems to have been involved in another case against Louis).
I’m afraid the pyramid will fully collapse by itself before any serious action is taken (or before the fans of Laurent Louis abandon him).
In Onecoin my experience is that there are a MUCH higher percentage of victims than scammers. Even those with downlines.
Mr. Hoxhaj was not only “invested” himself, but brought in several members of his own family, whom are close to him. Were it only his own money which had been lost, probably he would shake it off as A personal loss. He just happens to be the first of MANY to file criminal charges against Onecoin Scammers and Top Schemers.
Several people whom I have talked to whom had seen evidence upon evidence continually being dismissed and weakly explained away by their own uplines, finally decided to LOOK INTO THESE THINGS FOR THEMSELVES.
Remember, the most hard-core and soul-less scammers, like Tom McMurrain, Ken Labine, Joby Boughey, etc., (AKA: “The Prison Candidates”) will instruct their downlines to ignore anything and everything coming from bloggers, PCP’s and PPP’s, and to come to them (or the company) ONLY for the “truth” – which is always just twisted lies, in fact!
And just as Labile and Joby’s Deceitful Duo video explanation effort stating that Poland is NOT investigating Onecoin, when in fact the opposite is true; these professional con-artists do this with literally every piece of evidence and proof which comes up.
REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE OF SUCH INDOCTRINZATION TECHNIQUES IN WORKING EFFECT (posted in Ken Labine’s comments after Labine instructed his downline to “block and report [me] after I PM’d many of his VICTIMS the full list of Bank Closures):
COMMENT:
P.A. (Initials): “I never opened his [my] message request to me! See, I’m one of the smart people!! 🙂 I check a person’s profile first! [note: my profile is set to “private”] I saw him slandering you and that’s when I realized who I was dealing with KKen (sic) Labine No thank You!!”
P.A. “…I suggest we all block him!”
S.A. “Get him behind bars!!”
NOTE: the comments are still there and I have it screen captured
The OneCon company and OneLie Network Leaders indoctrinate through repetition and brainwash by example, which has a trickle down effect.
Questioning the OneCULT Religion and its (False) Prophets intentions is the ONLY way to break out of the shell – which is why God-like adoration and accomplishments have been bestowed upon them as geniuses, visionaries as even angels.
Absolutely disgusting!
@ OZ personally I think there is something between with M Gazmend Hoxhaj and Laurent Louis , revenge probably as M.Gazmend Hoxhaj already had court issues before that…. not credible at 100% that story… thanks.
that may be so, but is of little relevance here. a criminal complaint has been filed against the top onecoin promoter laurent louis in belgium – the morality of the complainant is not at test here.
what part of the story is not credible? did hoxhaj pay louis cash for joining onecoin or not? did hokhaj recruit his family members into onecoin or not?
the substance of the complaint is important, the reason why he made the complaint is not. louis and hoxhaj may be sworn enemies – who cares?
Cool. Doesn’t change the fact that OneCoin is a Ponzi scheme, through which Laurent Louis profited to the tune of 200,000 or so EUR (and approx 2 million EUR in losses).
That’s what will be investigated. Not whether the complainant was best friends or not with the defendant.
So when a scammer files a complaint about another scammer, it doesn’t matter if the complainant is a scammer as long as the other one is from OneCoin?
I was thinking we were supposed to fight all scammers here.
Not in the eyes of the law. Gazmend Hoxhaj cannot be a victim as per the complaint if he made more than he invested in OneCoin, which he clearly didn’t.
This article isn’t about “fighting scammers”, it’s about a criminal compliant filed against Laurent Louis for scamming people through OneCoin.
Save the derail attempts for Facebook.
In the eyes of the law, your background does matter, particularly in criminal affairs.
Mr Hoxhaj has been and is still promoting different MLM businesses : OneCoin, Power Lead System and others.
How can someone pretend to be the victim of an MLM scam while being perfectly aware of what is an MLM ?
The complaint from Mr Hoxhaj is clearly the result of a personal problem with Laurent Louis. Mr Hoxhaj actually doesn’t complain about OneCoin, he complains about Laurent Louis through OneCoin.
It’s a shame you write an article about a complaint without trying to find out where it comes from, and therefore without trying to clarify whether this complaint is valuable or not.
It seems that even if the devil had filed a complaint about OneCoin, you would proudly write an article about it (since the morality of the complainant is not important). I think you guys have become too obsessed with this OneCoin story.
Only when it comes to sentencing, and that’s only with respect to the defendant.
The complaint raises charges of pyramid selling, fraud, money laundering and violation of common and banking laws. It states nothing about “MLM scams”, nor does it have anything to do with a personal relationship that may or may not exist between Hoxaj and Louis.
« Pyramid selling, fraud, money laundering and violation of common and banking laws », that’s what Mr Hoxhaj’s lawyer complains about. It has no value, it’s just a complaint.
I can file a complaint about your website about « racism, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny… ». Does it mean it’s true ? No, it’s just a complaint.
Mate, it’s a criminal complaint filed in a court of law.
The facts are as they stand:
OneCoin is a Ponzi scheme through which the victim lost money. Laurent Louis profited to the tune of a couple of hundred thousand EUR by recruiting victims into the scheme.
Laurent Louis’ victims are reported to have collectively lost around 2 million EUR.
That is what will be investigated and I’m not interested in discussing anything unrelated to the criminal complaint at hand.
Having gone over OneCoin’s business model personally I can confirm it is a Ponzi scheme. Victims lose money in Ponzi schemes, that’s how they’re designed to operate.
I can tell you the trial result already.
The money earned by Laurent Louis will be seized but OneCoin will not lose a cent.
yes, it is only a complaint but it will be investigated wont it?
the prosecutor saw enough merit in this complaint to bring it before the investigating judge didn’t he?
if the complaint doesn’t lead anywhere, the judge will close the case. so what are you worrying about?
laurent louis can continue laundering cash for onecoin if he likes and continue living off ponzi money, but it will come back to bite his ass later on in court.
the FSMA has named louis in it’s warning, the prosecutor has taken a criminal complaint before the judge, so he has been sufficiently warned!
OneCoin isn’t going to be shut down globally in a Belgian court. That’s not what the complaint is about.
Nice strawman though, but it will be your last. Any more attempts will be marked as spam.
@Anonymous
Mr. Hoxhaj has definitely NOT been promoting OneCoin for at least a month or even longer. In fact he has done the opposite.
As to Power Lead System (and particularly “others”), some vendetta against Louise, etc, prove it or GTFO.
And again, ditto what Oz & anjali said.
Before joining Onecoin i even didn’t know what the world MLM means.
I used few mlm sites during a period of maybe 3 months long in order to finance the promotion of Onecoin. Actually i lost money on each of them.
When all the bank problems lately started with Onecoin and discovered more and more irrugularities… i knew that something wrong was going into Onecoin. Than i stopped all as Tim says one month ago.
ppl do mistakes. Its good you relized them and now you fight against OneCoin, Gazmend. Anyway, I think: Everything will finish in China, even OneCoin.
@ anonymous…
your objective, congrats ….
there is nothing criminal yet, it’s not an accusation, it’s only a formal notice….and lots of time it’s only to scare people…
now, when the formal notice is not respected other steps have to be taken in the court system (criminal or civil), from what I have read and french is my mother tongue.
Hello,
Louis – otherwise called LoL aka Laurent Louis – is as I wrote a sad person. I’ve got to admit his resilience to make easy money is tragi-comic.
Anyway right now I don’t think he will get away with it. FMSA has already in the past ordered him to stop his Insurance Broker initiative (last quarter of 2015)
Noticed:
Ethikassur a brokerage firm that distributes personal information to various unknown foreign insurance unknown to the Client (sharing of customer listing) and this without being controlled by the CNIL despite its field of action in France.
Mr Laurent Louis has also no legal possibility to operate in Belgium, specifically his home, as the headquarters under the legal name of Anabe are exclusively located in Paris. Therefore, Anabe has no professional Insurance Brokerage License to operate and sale his product “Ethikassur” in Belgium.
The site claims to help the homeless but in reality the legal information of the site mentions that all profits go to the owner of the site.
What did stop LoL-Anabe-Ethikassur?
Well, just one complaint in Belgium.
@Henri
Lolo (i don’t why but i like to call him like this) aka Laurent Louis is the guy who thread me to destroy me after i posted on my FB group Onecoin that i didn’t want anymore to promote Onecoin.
This happen one month ago.
Yesterday his lieutenant Vassily (facebook.com/vasileios.stamatoullas) thread me and my son of 14 years old if i continue to “persecute Onecoin” cause Onecoin feeds his family.
I hope you reported this to the police with evidence.
@Henry
It might change soon Henry, stay tuned.
@Oz
I didn’t record it but i will tomorrow introduce a complain.
But only the hour phone calls – we spoke about 20 minutes – i have no other proof of that.
Active SCAM/ SCUM BUSTER, Ari Widell just posted a new blog which has a funny video interview with Top OneCULT Schemer, Juha “I make $4 million a month (but somehow am capped at that for the past 10 months),” ‘el Pariah,’ comically LYING about the Xcoinx Exchange and how it allegedly works.
Here’s a small EXCERPT:
SOURCE: kusetukset.blogspot.com
As per a lot of belgian network members of Onecoin account of Laurent Louis have been frozen, except his tycoon cause, it’s on the name and of his wife.
This is the account where most of his profit are. About 2 400 000 of business volume.
Why? Cause LL made a lot of damages to Onecoin image. Everywhere he was he made troubles.
Can we get a source on this and possibly some proof?
Funny quote for the starting WE:
Nov.26th DH Press Article.
in response to the criminal complaint lodged against him, laurent louis has filed a complaint for defamation, harassment etc.
FB, 10 hrs ago:
instead of such nonsense, louis should just explain to the authorities how onecoin is not a pyramid scheme as alleged in the complaint.
Almost sounds like one of our U.S. “sovereign citizens”, lol.
Any competent attorney would have advised Louis to keep quiet until the outcome of the criminal investigation.
He doesn’t have the money to fight a civil lawsuit with thirty or more defendants, as his only income these past few years has been OneCoin recruitment (as reported).
That and he failed to provide a copy of the complaint, which at this point in time hasn’t been verified by a third-party (unlike his criminal complaint).
I’m treating this as hot air for now.
Apparently Onecoin no longer liked their Green “Blockchain,” so they made a Blue “Blockchain” now.

Perhaps someone told them that modern cryptocurrency is NOT simply just “digital money” tech anymore, but a whole slew of other programming language via the underlying platform.
Maybe Onecoin is expanding into the world of “colored coins?” 😉
(Jesting, but for more on colored coins, see: coloredcoins.org )
Why don’t they just release a red blockchain?
Everybody knows red blockchains go the fastest.
French speakers HELP!
It seems like Laurent Louis (Belgian Politician and OneCoin Ponzi Pimp) is being highly clowned in this video!
youtu.be/YWTgwcH8r6g
I get the “gist” but would appreciate a French overview
😉
so, laurent louis is thumbing his nose at the investigating judge before whom a criminal complaint has been filed.
he’s back to promoting onecoin on his FB page:
laurent louis who has no legitimate source of income, and who had to live off the belgian state’s charity, does not care for onecoin warnings issued by the same state [belgian FSMA]. he’s not smart enough to earn his keep, but smart enough to know the state is wrong??!!
such an idiot.
and an ungrateful wretch!
We know that former Belgian politician Laurent Louis actively promoted and supported the OneCoin scam. There is a video of him on this topic from December 2, 2020.

PS: Since I don’t speak French, I can’t judge whether Google translated the original text correctly.
On LinkedIn, Laurent Louis claims that he is now a director of WOOZI CONSULTING:

Google is stupid and can’t find a website with that name. Maybe YouTube knows more? A video from May 2020:

In a video from May 2020, Laurent Louis promoted EXW Wallet scam:

Laurent Louis went on to promote other MLM crypto Ponzis and is now selling crypto training?
Sounds like his scam villain arc is complete.
