To earn the benefits, you must personally refer minimum two associates in each of your team. Both team’s play points are equally matched daily and paid to you in the form of reward points. The remaining play points of stronger team are carry forward for next calculation."
"Espian Global as an MLM opportunity is a simple token Ponzi scheme with pyramid recruitment." "Espian Global provides no information about who owns or runs the company." "Espian Global’s website domain (“espianglobal.com”) was privately registered on January 2nd, 2021."
"In an attempt to appear legitimate, Espian Global provides three corporate addresses on their website; one each in the UK, Poland and Malaysia. The UK address belongs to a hotel. The Polish address is spelt wrong and the Malaysian address belongs to an IT company. It is highly unlikely that Espian Global has a physical presence at any of these locations."
"Espian Global markets a gaming platform filled with shovelware. Whether there’s currently any games on the platform is unclear." "It should be obvious that Espian Global has nothing to do with ESPN or their e-sports division."
"Espian Global affiliates invest in Smart Gaming Tokens (SGT). This is done in the hope they’ll later be able to cash out more than they initially invested. Espian Global’s compensation plan revolves around recruiting new affiliates and convincing them to invest."
"Espian Global primarily targeted investors in India and Nigeria." "Alexa currently estimates India and Nigeria make up 82.5% of traffic to Espian Global’s website."
"5th June 2021 – Espian Global has collapsed. The Ponzi scheme has been rebooted as eOracle." "Following months of misappropriating ESPN branding to shill their Ponzi scheme, Espian Global has collapsed."
"Now the anonymous scammers behind Espian Global have rebooted as eOracle." "The Ponzi scheme had a short run, lasting less than half a year."
Espian Global was a multi-level marketing and ponzi scheme where investors pay money and then receive some of it back if they recruit faster than others and withdraw their funds in time. Espian Global collapsed after half a year, with the service rebooting as eOracle. It seems unlikely that investors recovered their funds.
HOW COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED?
Experienced cryptocurrency users can typically tell what's fraudulent, however this takes practice, so it's always best for new participants to err on the side of caution, and avoid investing in most services.
To prevent such ponzi schemes, our framework provides that 2 industry reviews should be conducted of each proposed new service, by knowledgeable organizations. Regular reviews should also be conducted to ensure that all customer assets are fully backed, which prevents ponzi schemes since the key component is that funds are no longer backed.
