Vortic United was an MLM crypto Ponzi that emerged in late 2022. The scam was fronted by founder and CEO “Jensen Robles”, played by German national Rene Schwarze.
Fronting the promotional side of Vortic United was Canadian national Jan Gregory Cerato.
Vortic United is believed to have been a collaboration between Schwarze, Cerato and a Russian crime syndicate operating from Turkey.
Vortic United collapsed in August 2023, prompting Schwarze to go into hiding. Cerato, previously charged with securities fraud by Canadian authorities, returned to Dubai.
Cerato is currently in Malaysia and promoting the BitHarvest Ponzi scheme.
BitHarvest and Cerato received a securities fraud warning from California’s Department of Financial Protection and Innovation on August 20th.
In case anyone’s wondering what happened to the WeWe Global etc. NZ fraud article, seems IOSCO is having issues and recording duplicate warnings. I only realized after the fact.
