Soldo denies relationship with OneCoin, threatens to sue
Luca Miatton is one of the ringleaders still promoting OneCoin in Italy.
On April 25th, Miatton held a Facebook live in which he presented a Soldo OneLife branded Mastercard.
As per their website, Soldo provide 60,000+ companies with prepaid Mastercards.
The cards are supposed to be given to company employees to manage “spending and expenses”.
When a member of the public queried about Miatton’s representation of a partnership between Soldo and OneCoin, Soldo threatened legal action.
In his April 25th Facebook live, Miatton (right) stated the following (translated from Italian);
Today we have entered into a very important agreement with the company.
And here is the international Mastercard fuel card. It costs 10 euros for activation with the OneLife brand.
(With) this information card (you) can go to any distributor, you can fill up with diesel fuel.
According to BehindMLM reader WhistleBlowerFin, this is part of a marketing ploy to give the impression that OneCoin Ponzi points are spendable outside of the network.
Curious as to why Soldo would be doing business with a global Ponzi scheme, WhistleBlowerFin reached out to them over Twitter on April 28th.
Here’s OneCoin/OneLife scammer Luca Miatton’s announcement about @Soldo Mastercard.
The principle Miatton uses will be probably same as with 3rd party vouchers, limited groups & next group finances the previous group.
I would very much urge @Soldo to investigate what their Italian branch is doing. OneCoin/OneLife is a confirmed massive international fraud scheme, and Luca Miatton is one of its biggest promoters in Italy.
On April 29th Soldo replied to WhistleBlowerFin’s tweet:
Soldo has no relationship whatsoever with Mr Miatton, Onelife/OneCoin.
Any content suggesting otherwise is totally false and causing Soldo serious harm.
Soldo will issue proceedings against anyone involved in the publication or spread of such defamatory allegation or suggestion.
They followed that communication up with a letter threatening legal action.
Dear Sirs
PUBLICATION OF DEFAMATORY CONTENT
You recently published on your Twitter account @CryptoXpose some posts, materials and videos defamatory of Soldo as they allege or suggest the existence of a connection between the fraudulent activity of alleged scammer Mr. Miatton, the alleged massive international fraud scheme called “OneLife/OneCoin”, Soldo and its business.
Despite the superficial evidence regarding the alleged connection (i.e. the Soldo card in the video is, in fact, a Photoshop creation), the above allegation or suggestion is completely false and the publication of the posts, materials and videos alleging or suggesting the existence of the alleged connection or in any way referring to the alleged connection has caused and/or is likely to cause Soldo serious harm.
Soldo demanded WhistleBlowerFin delete his tweets and post nothing further on the subject, failing which
Soldo may choose to issue proceedings against you without further notice.
The letter is signed by Soldo’s Head of Legal, purportedly from an office in London.
WhistleBlowerFin replied to Soldo’s threat by asking they
investigate without thretening [sic] me. I’m reporting what the OneCoin scammers are doing and asked you to investigate.
I’m not the one claiming Soldo cooperates with Luca Miatton’s company.
At the time of publication Miatton’s original Facebook live is still up. It’s unclear whether Soldo has reached out to Miatton, or whether they just want the connection, alleged or not, buried.
Stay tuned for any updates.
Thanks for doing the legwork on this one WhistleBlowerFin.
Thanks Oz. I’ll keep you updated. Although it’s possible Miatton’s claim was pure scam marketing from the beginning, it’s very much possible Luca Miatton’s shell company infact had plans to try to provide such card for limited group of members with limited value. Miatton is a big name among Italian OneCoin believers.
Well, the most important thing is, Soldo is aware and at least according their own words doesn’t have anything to do with Miatton or OneCoin/OneLife scammers.
I’ll keep you posted if there’s any further development.
There remains a real possibility that Miatton can hand out a fairly small number of Soldo cards, without Soldo knowing anything about it (and without those cards having any OneLife branding on them, but that’s eplained away easily enough to the gullible idiots who get them).
It’s quite possible he owns a company we don’t know about, which isn’t easily associated with him (for instance, by putting it in his wife’s name), and supposedly engaged in legal and unremarkable business actitvities nothing to do with OneCoin. Or he’s working in cahoots with somebody else who has their own company.
Such a company could simply sign up with Soldo, and get cards to supposedly be used by employees (such cards can be completely anonymous).
As long as it’s a fairly small number, and the amounts remain low, within the range one might expect for a smallish company, that could eaily fly under the radar.
It could even be a company which already uses Soldo cards for real employees, and whose owner lets Miatton piggyback onto that, for a fee of course.
I’ve encountered more than enough small businessmen who, without being outright criminals themselves, would be more than willing (and stupid enough) to go along with such a scheme.
Since he’s only promoting this to the small circle of people already involved in OC, a company like Soldo would need a tip-off to be made aware of such shenanigans. As has been already been demonstrated.
And the idiots respond to the selfless, helpful member of the public who alerts them by threathening legal action, instead of sending a thank you letter, and perhaps a gift.
That’s what I got the one time I alerted a large company (IBM) about a cock-up of theirs I’d spotted, without any kind of prior contact with the company.
I not only got a thank-you letter, I later got a second letter telling me the result of their internal investigation into how the problem had arisen, and how it had been fixed, and an expensive art book as a gift. Soldo has no class.
Who is SOLDO, may be Italy may be knowing but what is ONE COIN more than 190 countries know.
Till now WE COULD NOT COME TO KNOW THAT Asingle lady who is well qualified and and with all efforts she gave this world the REAL CURRENCY IN THE WAY OF ONE COIN, where no one can deny that this ONE coin has FOLLOWED ALL THE BASIC PRINCIPLES AND LAW OF CRYPTOCURRENCY.
No one can say that it IS HAS NOT FOLLOWED THE RULES AND REGULATION, where as if see BITCOIN (Ozedit: derails removed)
We should be really ashamed that a single lady who has being fooled by more than 8- 10 closely associates people and having LIFE THREAT but still she is there to fight for RIGHT CAUSE and to bring the world with new concept and real value, but sorry to see you all are behind to just have malign wrong concept for your OWN BENEFITS, but yes TRUTH WILL COME OUT I AM SURE.
It’s really shameful how Soldo is not taking Due Diligence/AML/KYC seriously.
This lack of seriousness — and “class”, as PassingBy wrote — is what damages your reputation, not people trying to help you do your job.
But this mentality indicates that it wouldn’t be a surprise if some Cosa Nostra/ ’Ndrangheta or some other organized crime entities found their way as Soldo customers. OneCoin’s ties to organized crime are certainly well known. With Luca Miatton, it’s only rumoured.
Soldo is voluntarily getting in the longs line of companies that want to have their reputations soiled by association with OneCoin and organized crime.
But perhaps Soldo should contact Frank Schneider and his Sandstone/Chelgate company for some advice how to address this issue.
@Rahul
The truth already came out in court documents last year. It’s over and has been for some time.
OneCoin has been dead since the ROI scheme collapsed in Jan 2017. Sorry for your loss.
What a big loss. Many empty promises like “one coin would go public by 8th Oct. 2018″ or end of 2019”.
The regional manager/ re known pastor in uganda is not there for repayment or even guenine explanation to the lowest client who invested his/her cash before hence causing questions amid corona surge.
Mr. Rahul,
I am baffled that people can be this stupid, they still don’t know what has happened to them.
A court of law in NewYork has proven that it was a blatend fraud. What Crypto currency laws OneCoin followed? It never had any blockchain to start with (proven and confessed by the brother of Dr Ruja). Meaning infinite supply possiblity of OneCoi means it has no value.
People got fooled, just accept the facts.
