PGI Global collapses, initiates exit-scam through… Nui’s Kala?
Following non-payment of withdrawals and an effective collapse, PGI Global has made an announcement suggesting they’ll be exit-scamming through Kala.
That’s the same Kala shitcoin Nui launched three years ago.
From what I can tell PGI Global informed affiliates they’d be getting Kala wallets about a month ago.
This roughly coincides with when withdrawals slowed and/or stopped altogether.
Adopting KALA makes sense for one and one reason only; PGI Global at some point intends to pay out withdrawals in Kala.
What would that mean for PGI Global investors?
KALA surfaced in late 2017 as part of the Nui Ponzi scheme. In hindsight, Kala was Nui’s exit-scam.
Nui/Symatri will pay affiliates in Kala, and that can then be used on an internal e-commerce platform.
Kala was flogged to Nui affiliates for 1 to 5 cents a piece. Despite being created in-house, Nui affiliates were also able to “mine” Kala through Mintage Mining.
Nui went so far as to claim Kala, which neither it or Nui was registered as a securities offering, was “protected from the SEC“.
That lie was exposed in July 2018, when the Texas Securities Board issued Nui and Mintage Mining a securities fraud cease and desist.
In September 2019 Montana’s CSI also filed a securities fraud cease and desist. Michigan followed suit in April.
The state of Utah piled on around the same time, issuing Nui owner Darren Olayan with a $595,000 securities fraud fine in March 2020.
By this stage the writing was on the wall. Olayan fled the US and continued to defraud investors through Nui International.
Nui International appears to have since collapsed. Attempts to visit the company’s website returned a “404 not found” HTTP error.
So where does this leave PGI Global investors?
You’re being funneled into a collapsed Ponzi scheme.
Nui executives and affiliates are sitting on a boatload of worthless Kala they can’t do anything with.
By integrating Kala into PGI Global, they gain access to a new market of bagholders to sell their Kala too.
PGI Global is already busy hyping Kala through their social media channels.
At some point PGI Global affiliates will be able to purchase Kala, on the representation of future value.
That’s of course nonsense (see the last 2 years of Kala), but the hype will allow Nui executives, affiliates and PGI Global itself to offload Kala.
When the dust settles money will have transferred from PGI Global affiliates to Nui and PGI Global executives; namely Darren Olayan and Ramil Ventura Palafox.
Nui bagholders will be holding a little less worthless Kala. PGI Global affiliates will become the new primary bagholders.
Then, if it hasn’t been executed already, comes the exit-scam.
Here’s a transcript of how that’ll go down:
PGI Global Affiliates: WHERE’S OUR MONEY?
PGI Global: Oh hi there, have you checked out our new Kala wallet?
PGI Global Affiliates: WHERE’S OUR MONEY?
PGI Global: Relax chums, you can now sign up for Kala wallets.
PGI Global Affiliates: WHERE’S OUR MONEY?
PGI Global: Good news everyone! We’ll only be paying out in KALA going forward. Existing investment balances will also be converted into Kala.
PGI Global Affiliates: WHERE’S OUR MONEY?
PGI Global: What do you mean? We gave you highly valuable Kala tokens!
What’s that? You can’t find anyone to sell them too?
NOT OUR PROBLEM BITCHES! *cue disappearing act*
How long this will take to play out is anyone’s guess. Nui aren’t known for their competence and RV Palafox is a serial scammer running his first-time Ponzi from the helm.
Palafox is believed to be based out of the Philippines. Kala is run by Appliqate, a company based out of the US (at least on paper, seeing as Darren Olayan remains in hiding).
Neither PGI Global, Kala or Nui are registered to offer securities in the Philippines or the US.
Appliqate is registered with the SEC but doesn’t report its fraudulent investment dealings.
Based on Alexa’s analysis of its website traffic, the majority of PGI Global investors are in the US (44% of traffic), followed by Peru (14%) and Nigeria (8%).
Update 30th June 2021 – After pulling its website 48 hours ago, PGI Global’s exit-scam is now complete.
Update 5th September 2021 – PGI Global has rebooted with top earner Helen Graham running the company as CEO.

KALA BAGHOLDERS UNITE!
I tried that with my bank; told them last week’s mortgage payment was covering my bill from last September.
They seemed less than happy, which frankly baffled me.
“But, you don’t understand,” I told them. “I never missed a single payment. I was delayed, but I never missed a single payment. Hey, I’ll be back next month with your October money, just take it easy.”
They had Security escort me out, the heartless bastards.
Mate stop living in the past. You need to remortgage with a bank oN tHe BlOcKcHaIn!
I bought a car in ’96 and haven’t made a single payment. I’m not behind in payments they’re just delayed.
I don’t even own the car any more. Sold it for kala. My blockchain bank doesn’t care.
Checkmate nocoiners.
Hello everyone, i have a question regarding the exchange Probit, currently Nui members can’t withdraw their Probit, that situation has been like that for months, no explanation whatsoever.
Now i read an article explaning that all exchanges could be shutdown in south Korea, so i was wondering if other coins are “hold hostage in Probit”.
Sounds like a question for ProBit.
Answer is probably undisclosed regulatory investigation or the usual “sorry for your loss” crypto shenanigans.
Has whoever’s running ProBit announced an orphanage trip to India yet?
I don’t know about that! Thanks for your response!
By the way nui and PGI Global won’t work together.
So the KALA exit-scam has been abandoned?
Is there confirmation of this somewhere?
The funny thing is that only members of PGI Global were talking about this. In all the zoom call i have intended the last couple weeks, Nui did talk about a new partnership with a company, but NEVER specifically said the name.
The CEO of PGI said that he bought Symatri for 20 millions dollars (Darren denied that).
After couple weeks he said that the kala wallet was not working like he thought he would and even if his team was working hard to test the payment solution provide by symatri, they were also looking for others solutions.
Now Rodrigo said that Nui won’t have a partnership with the company that they never mentioned anyway!
Sounds like a failed negotiation between scammers.
Anyone know when the last time PGI paid out?
The last time PGI paid out there was still money to steal. Same as any other collapsed Ponzi scheme.
