BlackFort Wallet Review: BXN token “nodes” Ponzi
BlackFort Wallet fails to disclose who owns or runs the company on its website.
Instead, BlackFort Wallet represents it is incorporated in Estonia and the BVI;
BlackFort Wallet & Exchange is the trading name of the company incorporated in the Republic of Estonia under the name BlackFort Tech Estonia OU and comprises of the following sister company.
BlackFort Inc (BVI) – Is part of global OP setup. It operates the creation and concepting of the BXF token economy as well as the rights to it.
It also serves the purpose of a possible expansion to other jurisdictions.
Although it’s less common today, a few years back Estonia was marketing itself a blockchain bro paradise.
This saw scammers incorporate their crypto scams there to gain access to banking channels.
With respect to BlackFort Wallet, this likely ties into BlackFort Exchange.
BlackFort Wallet Services provided by Blackfort Tech Estonia OÜ, Cryptocurrency Wallet & Exchange License number FVT000100.
BlackFort Exchange is accessed through an app and serves as BlackFort Wallet’s online presence.
The domain (“blackfort.exchange”) was first registered in 2019. The private domain registration was last updated in July 2021.
BVI needs no introduction as a scam-haven. BlackFort Inc. is another shell company, incorporated in the BVI for nefarious purposes.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
BlackFort Wallet’s Products
BlackFort Wallet has no retailable products or services.
Affiliates are only able to market BlackFort Wallet itself.
BlackFort Wallet’s Compensation Plan
BlackFort Wallet affiliates invest ethereum in BXF tokens.
This is done on the promise of advertised returns:
- invest up to 1 ETH in BXF tokens and receive a 10% ROI
- invest 1 to 2 ETH in BXF tokens and receive a 15% ROI
- invest 2 to 4 ETH in BXF tokens and receive a 20% ROI
- invest 4 or more ETH in BXF tokens and receive a 25% ROI
BlackFort don’t specify an investment period.
The MLM side of BlackFort pays on recruitment of affiliate investors.
Referral Commissions
BlackFort Wallet pays affiliates 10% of funds invested in BXN tokens.
Residual Commissions
I can confirm BlackFort Wallet pays residual commissions, however specifics are not provided.
Instead of actual details, this is all BlackFort Wallet offers up;
BlackFort wants to make building a team to be both fun and profitable for everyone.
Depending on your own purchases, direct affiliates and their affiliates you start to earn team bonuses, that means the more you and your team bring awareness to partners and the market about BlackFort Wallet, the more you and your partners stand to earn.
Not knowing how you get paid as an affiliate isn’t “fun”.
Joining BlackFort Wallet
BlackFort Wallet affiliate membership appears to be free.
Full participation in the attached income opportunity requires an ethereum investment in BXF tokens.
BlackFort Wallet don’t specify a minimum investment amount.
BlackFort Wallet Conclusion
BlackFort Wallet do a terrible job at marketing themselves. On that basis alone it’s difficult to take them seriously as an MLM company.
What information is available paints BlackFort Wallet as a simple shit token Ponzi scheme.
BlackFort Wallet’s investment scheme is dressed up as “buying nodes” blockchain bro jargon. It’s meaningless.
BXF is an ERC-20 token. These take five minutes to set up on the ethereum blockchain at little to no cost.
You hand over ethereum, you get BXF tokens for a non-publicly disclosed price, you park these with BlackFort Wallet and collect a passive ROI.
The ROI is paid in BXF, which means ultimately a bunch of investors are going to be left holding the bag.
The only verifiable source of revenue entering BlackFort Wallet is new investment.
Using new investment to pay BXF token investment scheme withdrawals makes BlackFort Wallet a Ponzi scheme.
It should be noted that BlackFort Wallet is not registered to offer securities in any jurisdiction. Incorporating shell companies in the BVI and Estonia is not a substitute.
By not registering its passive investment scheme with financial regulators, BlackFort Wallet is committing securities fraud. Securities fraud is illegal the world over.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve BlackFort Wallet of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind MLM Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
What a load of garbage! They have a product and the owners are known.
Feel free to identify a retail product that has anything to do with BlackFort Wallet’s Ponzi scheme.
Also feel free to name BlackFort Wallet’s owners. They are not disclosed on the company website, as stated in the review.
Failing which, keep your garbage excuses for scammers to yourself. Thanks.
There are some “people”listed on Linked-In that are claiming to be employed by Blackfort. Owner still unknown.
CEO is mentioned to be Stefan huber.

Dear Oz, dear Melanie! Thx for lots of informazione!
What do you think will happens after the launch on 11. march?
Who will earn the money of the people who invest in Blackfort an how?
I really don’t understand the concept of this but what I can find sound not serious, totally not.
A friend of mine is in this Blackfort involved, spend money and lot of time , search for new investors , get airdrops for this, joins zooms an real meetings and is totally convinced that this the best what you can do in your financial future.
Thx for a short statement and sorry for my English 😉
Greetings Antonio
The launch? Blackfort Wallet already launched and collapsed.
If there’s a reboot (another one?), anyone dumb enough to sign up is just going to lose money faster than the first time around.
Your friend is just trying to earn a quick buck by recruiting you into a scam.
As per the comments above, Melanie is way better versed on recent Blackfort Wallet happenings than I am though :D.
Hei Oz, thx for your answer!
On 11. march the BXN should be listening at any stock exchange. This should be the next level for Blackfort.
Anyway all informations sounds so mysterious.
And btw it’s hard to see an friend going crazy in this bubble…
Thx a lot, waiting for an answer of Melanie perhaps she knows anything about the listening.;-)
Greetings !
Antonio
I think you mean crypto exchange?
That’s a BXN dump exit-scam in the making.
@Antonio
Please give me some time before I answer you in detail. I am in contact with several promoters of this scam and urgently warn you not to invest a single cent.
Oz, yes should be a crypto exchange.
Melanie, thank you for your warning!
I would never invest anything there but I know a few people in my bubble who are invested and this is no peanuts:-/ and they are normally no stupid people … Strange that you know some people there.
I stay tuned an look in the next month what is going on there…
Thx a lot!
Antonio

PS: The domain blackfort.ch was registered in Switzerland on November 11, 2016. Although the same name was used, I do not recognize any connections with the BlackFort domains mentioned above. Error excepted!
Yesterday I received an invitation to a Zoom webinar from the well-known serial fraudster Heinz Peter from Dornbirn in Austria:
share-your-photo.com/adf730c71c
The welcome was given by Thorsten Wilke, a well-known MLM fraudster in Germany. In 2014, he was the promoter or initiator of a scam with the website frei-tanken.com. This old video from March 2014 is still available on YouTube:
youtube.com/watch?v=eNFZ9ndXT5s
Of course, nobody really earned any money or received fuel vouchers from this scam. A German blog issued an intensive warning about this scam:
cafe4eck.blogspot.com/2014/12/frei-tankencom-schneeballsystem-von.html
This photo of the German fraudster Thorsten Wilke was also published there:
share-your-photo.com/6ea0ec2c25
Although the fraud portal frei-tanken.com was in German, this fake address was given from Hong Kong:
share-your-photo.com/fa145bd849
web.archive.org/web/20140625073600/http://frei-tanken.com/index.php?nav_id=1000103&pid=1000103
I will report later on what lies were spread in the webinar.
The speaker in the webinar was Ralf Arno Lamprecht, for more than 60 minutes. I had never heard or read this name in connection with MLM before. Who is this guy who praises BlackFort like a new wonder of the world?
I looked him up and found him. On his website gesundheit-365.com, he describes himself as a state-certified alternative practitioner with a practice in Balingen in Germany:
share-your-photo.com/fe25e32474
Why is someone who was supposed to help people get healthier promoting a planned cryptocurrency scam?
As is usual with fraudsters, his website does not contain an e-mail address, only a contact form:
share-your-photo.com/36f2708ae2
The following people participated in the webinar:
Werner Mohr – Ulrike Lampert – Cornelia Schwander – Inge Voß – Berthold Zähringer – Eckart Pelz – Karin Schulz – Andy Matthey from Switzerland – Johann Samson – Lissy – Harald Carl – Margot Striegler – Kuhnke – Elisabeth Rothbarth – Klaus Bundesmann and, for a short time, Heinz Peter from Austria.
Of the 20 people, only one woman stated that she would probably buy a node.
Nodes are offered for 100, 200, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 euros.
I am just quoting a few statements from the state-certified alternative practitioner Ralf Arno Lamprecht from Balingen in Germany from the Zoom webinar mentioned above. Unfortunately, I couldn’t save it because my hard disk is almost full.
– The BlackFort blockchain was launched in January 2023.
– BlackFort is a WEB3 ecosystem.
– The IPO (yes, he really called it that!) will take place on March 11, 2024.
– Anyone who buys a node for 10,000 euros now will own 761,802.45 BXN worth 15,236.05 euros after one year. The daily reward is 2,087.13 BXN or 41.74 euros. This applies for 10 years.
– The BXN starts at a price of 0.02 euros. In this context, he mentioned Cardano (ADA), which also started this way.
– Anyone who recruits a new investor receives 10 % commission.
– Each participant receives a share of the fees charged by BlackFort.
At the end of the webinar, the German scammer Thorsten Wilke came forward once again and urged the participants and spectators quite forcefully to buy NFTs.
This is how BlackFort describes itself on CoinMarketCap.

Hei Melanie, thanks you for your research and that you spend your time in this zoom 😉
What a kidding!!
Can’t believe that somebody really believe in this offer and promises.
Hope there are a lot of people reading your postings! Thx!
Antonio
I have received another invitation from Heinz Peter from Austria to a Zoom webinar.
I logged in on time, but the webinar definitely didn’t take place. Ralf Arno Lamprecht was again announced as the speaker, but he was active in another webinar:
share-your-photo.com/e5af76974c
Heinz Peter can obviously do magic too! He uploaded this video to YouTube on December 25, 2023:
share-your-photo.com/6a6867299c
youtube.com/watch?v=7NJFPn_BnUA
That’s brilliant when someone already knows in December how his business will develop in the coming year.
Does anyone know what drugs Heinz Peter is using?
blackfort was supposed to have their Token listed today 11th March 2024.
But they postponed it.
the official reason is that they are so many Exchanges that suddenly are chasing them to be part of the exchange, they couldn’t refuse the offer and therefore have decided to
wait for joining them. LoL.
OF course the name of the exchanges is confidential, and if it was to be disclosed, all the deals will be canceled will all the exchanges.
hahahahaha.
The latest visitor statistics from blackfort.exchange show a significant decline in visitors in January and February 2024.

Invitations to Zoom webinars from Heinz Peter from Dornbirn in Austria now always contain the following note and warning:

Hei Bob!
What you think is the real reason that they didn’t launched?
Bitfinex wanted to list Blackfort at Monday.
bitget.com/news/detail/12560603925091
I found this link in telegram you have to scroll totally down to find the reason for not lounching.
I don’t have any idea if this reason is logical?

Hi Melanie!
Thank you for this info!
What could be the reason that they only allow you in zoom with clear name and camera on?
What changes now?
Greetings!
Antonio
@Antonio
You know the reason and so do I, of course.
The organizers of this scam mentioned in comment #10 want to prevent critics from being present during the webinars and reporting on them. Honest business people have nothing to hide!
Patrick Walter (aka “Bullmoon Finance”) from Spangenberg in Germany uploaded the following video on March 8, 2024:
He also named Bitget as the first exchange.

Hi Melanie,
I really thought they will launch so that they can sell their BXN in a big style and the price fell down to nowhere.
So after that they could finish their projekt Blackfort whiteout being guilty.
Only my naïve thoughts;-)

In a video from May 24, 2023, the first speaker claims that planning for BlackFort began back in 2018. The two founders – Stefan Huber and Lucas Hubert – have allegedly been active in the cryptocurrency market since 2011 and 2012.

Okay so lately i ve been raised an issue about the postpone of the listing on their X noting fud.
just said that “they are a little sus to me and will see what happens” and guess what they ve blocked me on their twitter xdd…
seriously… i am gonna dump them to to hell if this listing ever comes alive. Though i am highly skeptical. These are seriously def NOT good signs..
There so an called listing announcement will become available in 1 day.
Yeah so regardless of whether there’s a “listing” or not, you’ve already invested into a Ponzi scheme.
Pretending there are only “bad signs” now that you can’t cash out is disingenuous. Also the reason you can’t cash out is because there are no suckers to offload your bags onto.
Congratulations, you’re now bagholding yet another worthless Ponzi token.
Interested parties can request information about the BlackFort scam on the following website:

Of course, the imprint is missing, but the operator of the portal, Ralf Ullrich from the Erfurt region in Germany, boasts:

The text below the video contains many mistakes in spelling, grammar and expression. And this idiot wants to make us rich very quickly without any work?
On his YouTube channel, Ralf Ullrich also promotes other scam systems such as DCPTG or Healy. His spelling is disastrous there too.
