The Stone Fund fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

While The Stone Fund does claim its CEO is “Ian Hudson”…

…the photo used to represent Hudson is a stock photo used on dozens of websites.

From this we can ascertain that The Stone Fund’s “Ian Hudson” doesn’t exist. I didn’t bother looking up to the other two.

The Stone Fund’s website domain (“thestonefund.com”), was privately registered on July 24th, 2023.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, The Stone Fund provides a corporate address in the UK on its website.

The provided address is attached to multiple businesses. This lends itself to the address actually belonging to a company selling virtual office addresses.

While not definitive, vKontakte social media links appearing on The Stone Fund’s website suggests ties to Russia.

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.

The Stone Fund Conclusion

The Stone Fund represents it generates external revenue via trading.

Thestonefund is a unique online investment platform, which allows independent investors from all over the world to receive dividends from trading different types of currency on major exchanges.

No proof of The Stone Fund using trading revenue to pay withdrawals is provided.

Furthermore, The Stone Fund’s business model fails the Ponzi logic test.

If the Stone Fund was in fact legitimately generating 20% a day, firstly they wouldn’t just be offering access to anyone over the internet.

Secondly, at 20% a day what on Earth do they need your money for then?

As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering The Stone Fund is new investment.

Using new investment to pay affiliate withdrawals would make The Stone Fund a Ponzi scheme.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.

This will starve The Stone Fund of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
