OneCoin @ BehindMLM

Although a bit late to the game, yesterday Portugal’s top financial regulator issued a OneCoin investment warning.

Ed Ludbrook joined OneCoin as Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Chief Leadership Officer and Asia Ambassador in November, 2015. At the time Ludbrook described OneCoin as ‘a multi-trillion dollar opportunity that any fool will recognise once educated with the facts‘.

As what’s left of OneCoin management either quit or quietly disappear, top investors in the scheme have become a vital source of information for disillusioned affiliates.
