Xera Review: Three collapsed Dubai scams form mega Ponzi
Collapsed MLM crypto scams Safir International, Success Factory and The Blockchain Era, have grouped together as Xera.
The reboot was announced on January 24th, and revealed at an in-person marketing event in Dubai.
Before we get into Xera, here’s a rundown of the three collapsed scams it’s made up of:
Safir International was a Ponzi scheme built around Zeniq Coin.
Last month My Neo Group, a Monaco outfit headed up by founder and CEO Mickael Mosse, announced it had acquired what was left of Safir.
My Neo Group rebooted Safir as Neo ZenTech. Apparently that only lasted a month a half before Mosse pulled the plug.
As of December 2023, SimilarWeb tracked ~557,000 monthly visits to Safir’s website. Outside the Dominican Republic however, Safir recruitment had collapsed.
Success Factory was a marketing spinoff of the DagCoin Ponzi scheme. Both schemes were owned and operated by former OneCoin Ponzi promoter Nils Grossberg.
Success Factory began to collapse in mid 2022. In October 2022, Grossberg was arrested by Estonian authorities.
It appears following his release, Grossberg fled to Dubai and went right back to Ponzi scamming.
Success Factory officially collapsed in August 2023. Today Success Factory’s defunct website domain redirects to something called “SF Suite”.
SF Suite appears to be a failed reboot of Success Factory.
As of December 2023, SimilarWeb tracked just ~85,000 monthly visits to SF Suite’s website. Most of that traffic originated from Russia (28%).
The Blockchain Era is the fourth reboot of the collapsed WeWe Global Ponzi scheme. LyoPay, LyoTrade and LyoWallet are associated shell companies.
The Blockchain Era and all associated shell companies are headed up by WeWe Global founder and CEO Luiz Goes.
As of December 2023, SimilarWeb tracked just ~57,000 monthly visits to The Blockchain Era’s website. 51% of that traffic originated from Italy.
Xera will launch on the domain “xera.pro”, privately registered on January 8th, 2024.
A visit to Xera’s website today reveals a “coming soon” countdown timer:
The timer is scheduled to expire on or around February 4th.
On the executive side of things we have
- Henk Diepbrink – Xera Managing Director, Dutch national and former Managing Director of Safir
- Werner Kaiser – Xera Global Vice President, part of Safir’s “Elite Circle of Trust” and former Lyoness Ponzi promoter
- Diego Endrizzi – Xera Head of Global Sales, top Italian promoter of WeWe Global and The Blockchain Era
- Gorka Buces – Xera Chief Visionary Officer, former CVO of the collapsed Xifra and Decentra Ponzi schemes
- Nils Grossberg – Xera Head of Global Partnerships, founder and CEO of collapsed DagCoin and Success Factory Ponzi schemes
There is no mention of Mickael Mosse and Luiz Goes. Whether they’re involved in Xera or whether they’ve cashed out is unclear.
As to Xera’s business model, it’s another AI trading bot Ponzi ruse they’re calling Quantwize:
There’s also some node/validator crypto baloney attached which isn’t worth getting into.
Xera investment starts at 110 EUR and tops out at 1.11 million EUR.
Xera’s top investment package will get you a CloudK NFT, the ability to invest an additional 2.2 million into Quantwize and additional returns via simulated mining (I say simulated because any mining is theatrical given Xera owns the network).
Xera is currently soliciting investment in EURX. There is already a dead cryptocurrency using this name, but I assume Xera’s EURX is a new shitcoin they’ve created.
CLFI is another token cited in Xera’s marketing. This appears to be a carryover from The Blockchain Era.
On the MLM side of things Xera pays direct commissions and residuals via a unilevel compensation structure.
There are also various bonuses to qualify for based on personal and downline investment volume.
As with Safir International, Success Factory and The Blockchain Era, investors will be able to cash out as long as new investors are suckered into losing money.
Presently it appears Safir, Success Factory, The Blockchain Era bagholders are being onboarded. On or after February 4th, Xera will open its Ponzi scheme to the public.
Update 10th August 2024 – Xera Pro has collapsed. The reboot Ponzi grift is now Homnifi.
Well done. It is worth mentioning that this union is due to difficulties they all faced in recent months, including increasing awareness from Arab population (they are all based in DUBAI), especially Success Factory which was banned in neighboring Saudi Arabia, and which was the largest market for its scam product called @theViewVR.
I hope Dubai authorities will start doing something about all this scammers working from Dubai. One good decision from Dubai government and they will all disappear almost instantly.
A friend of mine has reported Martin Karus to Europol and SEC due to his activities in Questra, Cloud Horizon, and many more and due to his activities as admin in Troncase, CoinSwapSpace and Monarch.
He is on the list now.
I presume we’ll soon see the usual crooks pitching this “new” Ponzi fraud i.e. Graham Laurie (aka Cashmaster), Michael Faust, Kalpesh Patel etc.
They were all big net winners from the WeWe Global/Lyopay scam.
This is Graham with his buddy Kalpesh in Dubai promoting Hyperscam: imgbb.com/W579tvC
And Graham in Dubai with his pal at Lyopay: ibb.co/jGz24mc
My interest in xera is centered around Werner Kaiser’s involvement as Vice President.
I personally know Werner, having collaborated with him in the past. He is someone I highly respect, and his participation in a more sustainable system pleasantly surprises me.
I hope that the entire endeavor proves to be more than just a bubble. I want to clarify that I am not personally involved in it.
If you consider a serial Ponzi promoter worthy of high respect, you’ve kinda already played your hand.
Nice try though.
All of the leaders that merged their fail companies Into XERA have either ongoing courts for fraud activities or had already court cases for criminal scams… Not a single one of them has clear history.
Well, I must admit, the rebranding of wewe.global to TBE and then Xera seemed to happen in a rush.
I’ve been chasing the ponzies for some time, wondering what the next move will be. What Scam will they be chasing next these guys are worse than storm chases.
XERA founders are all failing scammers who hope that their union in Dubai will bring them some extra-cash (victims) they desperately need in these difficult times where it seems more people are aware of their MLM tricks.
Is there any court case or law firm that is pressing charges against all the wewe, Lyopay, TBE, Xera?
If yes do you have any contact, I am tired of these people winning and stealing money around.
Law firms can’t press charges. Authorities can but Dubai’s authorities are too busy arresting people for holding hands, having a beer etc.
They don’t have time for multi-billion fraudulent investment schemes.
A bit off topic but your last comment has me rolling on the floor laughing Oz. Thanks for both the great research and sprinkles of humour
good article.
This story is actual in Bosnia, Croatia, generally in Balkan states. They offering Zeniq hubs (about 1500 eur) for minting zeniq token, investments in project Desert Pearl in Dubai (bying tokens of project like small or big holders).
They claim that zeniq coin is listed on mostly referral tokens list, with high prediction to increase value, etc… Seems like classic Ponzi scheme to me, while new investers coming, all functioning perfectly.
Time will show the truth… I just can believe that today many people’s hope for easy money after all that scams in crypto world.
“You missed bitcoin, don’t miss the Big next thing”… I hope for legal regulations on world level to stop same people to take hard earned money from less infomated/educated people.
Sorry for grammar mistakes if any, my English is not to good. Greetings for all truth seekers and people of good will.
@Dusan
Yes, I saw that they are having an event in Croatia, so probably they are trying to get new victims in the Balkan region.
Their new scam name is XERA. Please warn your people! this is just a group of failed scammers who united under a new brand name.

The date is of course wrong, it should be 2024. The speaker in this video is the German Carsten Gotowy, who is XERA’s Regional Director for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Carsten Gotowy was also involved in the OneCoin scam. I have mentioned him in this comment:

Hey all, new to this space. I have friends and family interested in Xera as Australian investors looking into new forms of investing.
Can someone please link me to some information or reply in essence as to how this group will be scamming people.
I have people I want to warn but need to know more. Any help is appreciated, cheers
Sure thing. Open up a new browser tab, go to a search engine and type in “ponzi scheme”.
You can also verify Xera is not registered to offer securities in Australia.
@angus
Yes, you can understand how XERA scams people by looking at the previous scams that XERA founders have been involved in during their long career in frauds all around the world.
Addition to comments #17 and 18.
The Spanish serial fraudster José Gordo uploaded this video to his YouTube channel on April 23, 2024.

XERA has been setup for being a giant Money laundry, orchestrated by Dirk Wemhoener, Residing in Lichtenstein , German citizen, with Diplomatic passport from Guinea Bisau
it is a pure concentration of the various mafias and trafics of all sorts.
This is the now the largest criminal money laundry MLM in place in DUBAI.
I’ve met the CEO here in Australia Seems a nice guy to me.
Gianluca Bin CEO did an amazing presentation. Now we know what we have our hands on.
Did the presentation cover securities fraud? Specifically that neither Xera or its executives are registered to offer securities in Australia?
Whether you think fraudsters are nice or not is neither here nor there.
Flatbrain shill detected.
When you know that XERA is founded by Success Factory, Safir, and the Blockchain Era, 3 organizations that have a long sheet of MLM frauds and have collected many warnings from monetary authorities worldwide for being pyramidal scam or frauds, I guess you don’t need to be a very intelligent person to conclude that an organization made from the union of serial fraudsters is by default a fraud.
By the way, there are two new investors’ alerts against XERA: one from the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and one from the International Organization of Securities Committees.
This company Monarch (monarch.company) is also involved, proof here: livelikeamonarch.medium.com/monarch-future-with-xera-66d0ca3ef771
Monarch was closed and “merged” with XERA, all who bought United (UTED) token packages via Monarch all they was sent to XERA, they got there some license or smth.
People like Kent Kruusmaa, Vambola Tullus, Antty Lillepuu, Martin Karus – all they are involved or actively promote XERA in zoom calls, youtube, etc.
#33 Thanks for the information. It seems Validus has also joined XERA. We were right by calling it a megascam as at least 6 entities have been identified as part of XERA.
Another information is that although XERA has an office in Dubai, legally they are registered in British Virgin Islands. Not sure if they are officially registered under the name XERA or it is just a trade name.
Participated in this in the old program (Over 2 years ago) and now in the new…… PAID, ON TIME, EVERY DAY. I withdraw every week….. No problems.
You couldn’t have been “paid on time every day” in “the old program” because “the old program” collapsed.
Stop lying to promote a dying Ponzi scheme made up of already dead Ponzi schemes.
Oz. Your talking through your arse…. It did not collapse….where do you get this shit from.
My Money has been 100% moved from the old platform to the new. Talk about something you know something about. And YES every day!!! I just withdrew every week as it suits me.
ALSO, the old site is still active as some people have not ‘migrated’ (too lazy) but not my problem…. Im done.
Yeah, after it collapsed. Go on, put on your big boy boots and say it: The Ponzi scheme I’m lying about withdrawing money from collapsed and got rebooted as a new dying Ponzi scheme.
And your money didn’t get moved, your imaginary Ponzi IOU backoffice balance did.
Ponzi mental gymnastics yo. Lil bro won’t even name the collapsed Ponzi he’s talking about.
Xera’s monthly website traffic is and continues to plummet since launch (after the initial “where’s my money?” traffic from the collapsed feeder Ponzis died off). Sorry for your loss.
Im not even going to reply to your shit (Ozedit: dummy spit removed)
Cool. G’bye and best of luck with the scamming.
Once again you don’t know what your talking about. I am totally passive. Have not spoken to one person. If im doing this on my own, of my own account, with MY money how is that a scam….(Ozedit: dummy spit removed)
Where do you think the money you’re stealing from comes from? Whether you recruit the victims you’re stealing from is irrelevant to the fact you’re stealing money through a Ponzi scheme.
More Ponzi mental gymnastics.
You invested into a Ponzi scheme, the Ponzi scheme collapsed and now you’re on here shilling Xera in the hope it doesn’t also collapse before you can recoup your losses.
If you’ve got nothing to add other than the usual Ponzi excuses bullshit I think we’re done here.
Stealing from strangers is still stealing,you just don’t know the victims personally – so if that’s how you keep your conscience clean, cool story, but you’re not getting rid of the Stealing portion by saying you didn’t “recruit” somebody.
Well done! Keep spreading this sort of information to help people out who have fallen victim.
Its sad really. All these 2access webs btw are part of this Ponzi scheme like Xera, Quantwise, Wallek Kminting Kmall like success factory and Blockchain ID, lFI One phone and minters bla bla blahhh.
Horystech, Zenitworld, Lyotrade, Koinbay. They are clearly all belonging to one organization and the same group of developers. Beware!!!!!!!
