Where Did the Billions Go? YouTuber Investigates OmegaPro

Internet investigator Coffeezilla has launched an investigation into OmegaPro, a recently collapsed investment platform suspected of being a Ponzi scheme.

According to him, OmegaPro may have amassed a staggering $4 billion from investors before its abrupt downfall. However, the whereabouts of these funds remain shrouded in mystery.

What’s OmegaPro

OmegaPro rose to prominence a few years ago by promising lucrative returns through forex and cryptocurrency trading. The platform allegedly lured investors with the allure of high yields and a multi-level marketing structure. However, there were growing concerns regarding the legitimacy of OmegaPro’s claims and the sustainability of its payout model.

Last month, Turkiye Today reported that Andreas Szakacs (later known as Emre Avci), the co-founder of OmegaPro, was apprehended in Istanbul. The media outlet noted that the scam was apparently a “Ponzi scheme.”

In this scheme, the company would use the funds from new investors to pay returns to earlier investors, showcasing profit. However, no one earned any profit in reality.

“OmegaPro’s capital was allegedly linked to the OneCoin fraud, another major cryptocurrency scam that defrauded investors of $4 billion in 2017. OmegaPro ceased all withdrawals in November 2022 and shut down entirely by July 2023. Many investors realized they had been defrauded only after the company’s collapse,” the publication noted.

The co founder’s arrest happened in a surprising series of events. An anonymous informer shared the whereabouts of his stay to the regional law enforcement agency in Istanbul. The informer claimed that he represented 3000 investors who had collectively lost $103 million. The informer also invested $7 million in OmegaPro. The other affected investors reportedly gave him the power of attorney to investigate further.

Coffeezilla’s investigation seeks to unravel the complexities of OmegaPro’s operation and pinpoint the ultimate destination of the missing billions. It has established dedicated channels on Telegram and Discord to facilitate communication and gather information from victims or whistleblowers with insider knowledge.

Staying Safe from Crypto Ponzi Schemes

Crypto Ponzi schemes are scams that lure in investors with the promise of great returns. Some of the most recent crypto Ponzi schemes include Bitconnect, PlusToken, GainBitcoin, and Mining Max.

A blog post by Coinmarket Cap advises people to be wary of these and conduct due diligence while dealing with a crypto opportunity. “Taking care and due caution are the best way to identify red flags and ensure you don’t fall prey to the – unfortunately numerous – investment scams out there,” it noted.
