TelexFree financial schedules filed (creditors named)
As part of the bankruptcy proceedings initiated by TelexFree’s owners, the company was required to file Schedules of Assets and Liabilities.
Owing the bankruptcy proceedings being initiated in order to dissolve Ponzi ROI liabilities and head off a civil and criminal investigation into the company, these schedules were never filed.
Receiving absolutely no assistance from TelexFree’s owners and due to complications arising from data seized by various agencies investigating the scam, it’s taken some time for the court-appointed Receiver to finally put together an accurate list of TelexFree’s creditors.
Here, for the first time, we get to see a list of not only affiliates who TelexFree owed money too, but also the third-party businesses who got involved with the scam and should have known better.
Note that in both the instances of TelexFree affiliates and third-party businesses, that the records put together by the Trustee are from a combination of claims filed by the named parties and TelexFree’s own (poorly kept) records.
The full list of TelexFree creditors ‘contains 1,894,940 Participant names, spanning 35,110 pages (and) has been included on a separate disc.‘
I don’t have access to that disc but included with the financial scheduling filing are presumably the top creditors and debtors on that list.
First, we have the third-party businesses who got involved with TelexFree, when even the most superficial of due diligence should have revealed the existence of a $1.8 billion Ponzi scheme.
For reasons unknown, these companies either willfully ignorant of the evident red flags or simply chose to hedge their bets and ignore them.

On the affiliate side of things, creditors owed payments they requested are listed.
There’s a ridiculous number of names on the list included with the schedules, which in itself is only a fraction of the names on the full CD list.
As such I’ve only included a handful that are of significant interest (based on the dollar amounts, sorted by country).

Phew, what a list!
Do keep in mind that the above figures aren’t what was paid out to the named creditors, rather they’re the amounts the affiliates requested to withdraw on the provided dates.
To put dates into context, January 17th appears to be the Friday the company stopped paying its affiliate from. That same week TelexFree denied it was under regulatory investigation in the US.
April 4th was the last Friday TelexFree accepted withdrawal requests, with the company filing for bankruptcy ten days after. By this stage TelexFree was well aware the SEC was about to shut it down.
The above figures don’t reveal how much those who invested in TelexFree made, but rather shed light on investors who had significant monopoly money balances in their accounts.
Do note that affiliate withdrawals prior to January 17th are not shown, because they were already paid. The above figures are, as per the bankruptcy proceedings, what on paper is currently owed to TelexFree’s affiliates (not that they’ll ever see one cent of the requests now).
TelexFree racked up billions of dollars in liabilities, so it’s hardly surprising they saw the writing on the wall come January.
Withdrawal activity from affiliates picked up in February, around the time the company announced it was going to launch a new compensation plan.
Withdrawal activity continued to escalate throughout March, with the most significant withdrawal requests being made on Friday March 28th and April 4th.
This coincides with unhappy TelexFree investors storming the company’s offices in mid-March, demanding the company pay them.
Noticeably absent from the list is TelexFree investor activity from Brazil, with the Receiver explaining that
the Schedules and Statements are not intended to reflect the financial activity of Ympactus.
As far as the bankruptcy proceedings go, Ympactus (TelexFree’s operational name in Brazil) is being treated as a separate entity.
Eventually a full list of TelexFree’s top net-winners will no doubt be published, but for now it’s certainly interesting to go through the list of affiliates panicking as they realized their Ponzi dreams were about to come crashing down.
Do you know anyone on the full TelexFree Schedules of Assets and Liabilities list?
If so, how did they approach you about investing in TelexFree? Feel free to share your story below!
Of special interest in the list of creditors is Carlos Eduardo Castilho, the guy who has already been mentioned here on Behind MLM for spreading false and misleading information for Telexfree affiliates in regular videos posted on YouTube.
In february and march 2014, he requested a total of less than 3500 dollars. All of a sudden, on april 2014, he made a single request of more than 11 thousand dollars. Certainly fearful that the scheme was about to collapse the next days. Just like many others, as you wrote.
Carlos Castilho still gives false hopes to affiliates and spreads regular lies on YouTube. He was mentioned here on Behind MLM in this link: https://behindmlm.com/companies/telexfree/telexfree-affiliates-form-ad-hoc-committee-make-demands/
She made youtube tutorial video’s about how to register in Telexfree, how to buy positions, how to compound, how to use e-wallet etc. As well she recruited threw e-mails.
After telexfree ended she wrote an e-book about mlm which was rather pessimistic about the industry.
Before telexfree she was involved in the global one scam.
I did see her speak live to promote this in Zutphen, The Netherlands. It is rather sad, because she seems to be a kind person.
She was one of the few people in my country that had a inner circle level in telexfree. I did however not sign up in her downline.
I wonder if regular members will be refunded up to break even.
I read somewhere that the Brazilian police was supposed to release the E&Y audit in a press conference but cancelled last minute?
Doubt it. I doubt people will get 25% back. Too many international net winners, not to mention the Brazilian side ain’t done yet.
Public Prosecution said the cancellation was because would not have time to hear the company investigated and that the postponement of the conference was necessary for prosecutors to work on time and within the law.
@Alexander
I hope it wasn’t just exclusively about her time in TelexFree. Otherwise it’s really a book about Ponzi schemes which, having been ripped off in one, she has every right to be pessimistic about.
She would be pessimistic if she kept joining scams… But that speaks for her judgement, not the industry.
Statement 3B in Financial Affairs of the Debtor is about payments made within the last 90 days before the bankruptcy filing, aggregated amounts over $5,475 (2009 figures).
TelexFree first stopped paying money out on April 1st 2014. That probably affected the March 28 withdrawal requests.
From the Dominican list i know most of them personally.
Theyre good people, they truly did not beñieve this eas a scam. They all bit the “we make money posting ads” bologna.
@OZ where can i find the entire list?
@Andy
It’s on a CD. I think you might have to go to the court and request a copy if you want one.
Yeah, that’s what everyone just keep saying. Although they did not “believe” it was a scam, they were constantly warned it actually WAS a scam. They just decided to ignore all the warnings and red flags because it was easier to live in denial and just pretend scammers wanted them to get rich (quick).
I know a lot of “good people” who, when faced with the truth, started to call you names, telling you “know nothing of MLN”, that you have no money to join in and that’s why you hate them, and all that jazz…
Yeah, I feel sorry for them… #NOT.
Then you can probably tell them about Boston Globe’s interview with Stephen B. Darr, December 18 2014. “Don’t send any claims now. It will be too costly to process paper claims, and will result in less money to the victims”.
Post #19 in that thread (link to Boston Globe in post #17):
NOLINK://behindmlm.com/companies/telexfree/carlos-costa-lied-about-brazilian-irs-telexfree-approval/#comment-327253
The huge number of creditors will make it almost impossible to manually process claims. So he’s looking for methods to set up an online claims portal, where some of the data provided by creditors can be checked directly against a database.
If they already have sent claims on paper, then it probably has been registered and processed by Kurtzman Carson Consultants (the claims agent). But he wishes to use an online solution for the rest of the claims (to save money and time).
I’m certain there’s a whole range of decent folk who “had a funny feeling” something just wasn’t right about TF but kept promoting it ’cause that money getting looked too sweet to pass up.
Many also kept abreast of the latest news and warnings regarding TF and its detractors, but brushed it off as “grumpy people spreading unproven negative stories”.
Then there were those who knew they were blatantly pushing a scam and perpetrating a fraud, but they felt… “Hey, some gotta win and some gotta lose in this money game. But I’m in it to win it.
So show me the monaaayyy!”
Not surprisingly and foolishly, many also thought Telexfree was simply untouchable by the authorities.
Those same folk scrambled and ran for the hills when the kaka hit the fan.
Lol
I’m somewhat confused about the dollar amounts listed next to each creditors name…
Are they just the sum total of the withdrawal requests that went unfulfilled or do they include amounts that could have already been paid?
The dates are mostly Fridays in early 2014 so I thought that they are just unfulfilled withdrawal requests but based on M_Norway’s statement above I’m not sure any more.
It is interesting to see how the ponzi pimps were desperately trying to get their money out in early 2014 while at the same time telling those under them that there is nothing to worry about and TF is here to stay.
This is somewhat contradicted by what Stephen Darr says in the last paragraph of page 1 of Doc 593 “Statement Attached to Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Financial Affairs”
So apparently some individuals and entities were able to submit claims in some forms even though I don’t believe an official channel for submitting payable claims to the Turstee has been established.
I remember the FBI requesting data about involvement in TF asking about dollar amounts “invested” and also KCC has some “claim form” on there website as well. Plus I’m sure that many have submitted “claims” through the courts and also directly to the trustee.
But as far as I know the official claims process that can be used to request a piece of whats left of the TF pie has not been established yet and it will be a long time before any claims are honored.
I suspect after the criminal proceedings are complete and houses and Ferrari’s of the TF owners are auctioned off and of course clawbacks. I give it at least 2 years before the net losers see the pennies on the dollars that were invested in TF.
Indeed, Diego. But at least some of those people recognize now that they were scammed. It is even more difficult to feel sorry for those who still consider Telexfree to be a valid business and blame the Acrean Judge for all their problems.
We can still meet people in the internet complaining the company was “unfairly” blocked, and whenever someone say something about it being a scheme, this one will be acused as being ignorant about MLM or being envious.
There are more people in Ghana who’s names were not mentioned, what happens to them?
i am a telexfree creditor in Uganda. How come that my name is not on the list of Telexfree creditors?
How can i get in touch with the real people in charge of compiling the list of creditors? Please help me.
Probably because you’re not a creditor.
Did you actually pay TelexFree or did you pay some guy who lives down the street?
Also note creditors within the context of this list are affiliates who requested withdrawals in the months before TelexFree was shut down.
If you’re talking about your Ponzi winnings or being a net-loser, those are different things which will be addressed in due time.
They are not really creditors. It’s a temporary list of withdrawal requests and payouts in the last 90 days before the bankruptcy filing = January 17 2014 → April 4 2014.
Some of those payouts may have failed. The list is based on transactions registered in TelexFree’s database (not on bank statements).
I identified what the list is about in post #8 (I checked bankruptcy rules).
They are not unfillled requests but amounts the company actually PAID to an individual (aggregating at least $6225) in the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing date (the period Jan 13 through April 13, 2014)
If a company pays “preferred creditors or transfers property out of its name prior to filing for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee may be able to void (undo) that transaction and get the property back for the benefit of your unsecured creditors. This is referred to as the bankruptcy “clawback” provision”
The list you are looking at is massively incomplete and in many respects inaccurate, because it is comprised in part of those who claim to be creditors but may not be. You should pay it no mind. An electronic claims process will be set up in the future.
* See Trustee’s attached statement
I’m pretty sure many of the March 28 and April 4 payouts have failed. TelexFree stopped payouts on April 1st, if I remember correctly.
It continued to pay internally as TelexCredits.
This could be true, but likely is immaterial in the overall scheme of things. That’s because TelexFree itself said this in its bankruptcy filing last April:
It wouldn’t be surprising if class-action lawyers or perhaps even the government took the view that these “certain discretionary payments” were at least in part hush money to certain key promoters.
Another possibility is that certain key promoters engaged in extortion: Pay us or we’ll go to the cops.
PPBlog
I believe your take on this is correct, Hoss.
PPBlog
Better answer. the 3b list which Oz has partially extracted shows to whom payments in excess of $6225 were made within 90 days of the bankruptcy filing.
Where this table shows the “Name of Creditor” it is referring to persons who have already received the payments amounts shown. These people may be subject to bankruptcy clawback.
======================================
If you are someone believes they are owed money and/or already filed a paper proof of claim with KCC you would be included on the inaccessible computer disc submitted to the court.
Presumably that disc contains the names of many thousands of people and/or vendors who were not paid as promised.
The pdf Schedules filed with the court are just the tip of the iceberg and should not be considered complete, accurate or final. Sorting this out is going to be a monumental task.
unpaid withdrawal requests are potential obligations owed to the affiliate’s(unpaid creditors.) They would be extracted from the books of telexfree and combined with KCC proofs of claim to create a preliminary list of creditors.
This is likely what is contained on disc submitted to the court. The 3b list oz extracted from are Paid creditors….those whose withdrawals requests were paid….possibly by preference.
Certainly immaterial as far as the filing of the bankruptcy schedules is concerned.
The schedules list the 20 largest known creditors only. They don’t list every Tom, Dick and Harry that made a withdrawal request in the last 90 days. That’s absurd when you really think about it.
Telexfree frustrated all my financial plans. Is there any hope for us?
Some old news related to the Status Report …
The “click here” leads to an input form for “Full name” and “email address”, i.e. creditors can register name and contact address so they can be kept updated by the Trustee about the claims process.
its officially April, this month it will be a full year since telexfree filed for bankruptcy.
i hope this starts moving…..
Thank you so much for the support. i had sent my details about Telex free.i had opened up seven 7 accounts with telex free.
Only one account had paid me. Can i send again my details so that you help me? Am from masaka,Uganda. or it’s too late. Thanks for your help
I’m from Rwanda a victim a creditor of telexfree but my name did not appear on the list.
My target is to meet someone who can assist to claim my money I’ve got 6 accounts with telexfree and still have all the details with me, I mean, from the accounts names, password of each to the all electronic receipts numbers and others emails exchange proof.
@Alain
A claims process has yet to be established. Sit tight.
I’ve filled two forms from differents investigator on from FBI and other from kudmaz if think is a lawyer but still there is no feed back.
You can register contact details on kccllc.net/telexfree, the official Claims Agent website (Kurzman Carson Consultants LLC).
The form has 2 input fields:
* Full name
* Email address
The Trustee will eventually put up an “Online Claims Portal” through kccllc.net.
kccllc.net is currently the only official website for information. We will check that website for updates from time to time, but not very often.
Most people will manage to fill out claims themselves, without any assistance from “professionals”.
Only monetary transactions will count, money paid in to Telexfree (or to people in upline) and money paid out from Telexfree.
Internal transactions and reinvestments will not count as money.
Well there’s no claims process yet.
That’s why I wrote “The Trustee will eventually put up …”.
The easiest way for Alain will probably be to register contact details in the online form, to allow THEM to send HIM information rather than HIM “looking for information here and there”.
The easiest way for us will be if Alain or other Telexfree victims try to keep US updated with official information, rather than WE trying to keep THEM updated.
who’s got the disc?
The above is my name from Nigeria. I couldn’t find my name on the list. Please help.
Have you checked with the Trustee?
I could not check with the trustee. Is it possible for that to be done online, what is the procedure?
If you don’t have access to check your claim (or you didn’t file one), you’re four or so years too late.
I filled the claim form sometime ago. How do I get access to the full list of claimants to ascertain my name is on the list?
Is it possible to update my current email address because I had cause to change it to the one I am using now. Thank you.

If you filed a few years ago and did nothing until today I don’t like your chances.
