Cryptolon Review: Crypto mining daily returns Ponzi
Cryptolon provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
Cryptolon’s website domain (“cryptolon.co”) was privately registered on September 24th, 2020.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Cryptolon provides several “certificates” on its website.
As far as I can tell, all the provided certificates have nothing to do with Cryptolon.
- The MTR certificate is backdated February 2018 and is for “Crylon LTD”. This is thirty-one months prior to Cryptolon registering its website and is a suspected forgery.
- The European Trademark is also backdated February 2018 and is again for Crylon LTD.
- The UK certificate should be dismissed outright as meaningless, but for the record is for Crylon LTD and dated Feb 2018.
- The FinCEN certificate is dated February 2019 and is for ExFinance OU.
Cryptolon does mention Crylon on its website as Crylon Holdings Limited. As far as I can tell they just picked a similar sounding company that had some registrations and appropriated them.
Cryptolon, as represented on the company’s website today, didn’t exist in any capacity prior to September 2020.
A Google search for the company name returns nothing related for “Cryptolon” until the website launch in September 2020
Cryptolon has attempted to backdate some pages on its website to 2019 but they didn’t exist until 2020.
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.

Conclusion
Cryptolon claims to generate external revenue from a “cloud mining farm” that consists of “over 3000 antiminer s9 plants”.
No verifiable evidence of Cryptolon engaging in crypto mining activities is provided. Nor is there any evidence of external revenue being used to pay advertised returns.
Even if one were to stupidly take Cryptolon’s provided certificates at face value, none of them are issued by a securities regulator. This is because Cryptolon doesn’t have any audited financial reports to prove their claims.
The only verifiable source of revenue entering Cryptolon is new investment.
Using new investment to pay affiliates a daily return makes Cryptolon a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Cryptolon of new investment, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
fincen registrations are valid for 3 years and be made in the name of the parent company. here is the barrier to having a fincen registration: none.
Technically anyone can get a fincen registration with relatively little ease; that is why scammers use this registration to give their registration with fincen as a way to portray legitimacy, when actually it implies none.
The registration on fincen is that it is a declaration by the applicant and not an approval of any kind.
They seem to have caught a couple of fish

those aren’t fish, those are professional victims in the making.
5 reviews on Trustpilot. All 1 star. Trustpilot’s average rating? 2.5 / 5.
For those scratching their head, the “info” button says: “It’s more than just an average of all review star ratings. It takes a bunch of things into account, like the age of reviews and the number of reviews.” Of course it does.
If it’s an investment and it’s on Trustpilot it’s a scam.
