Baccarat Staking operates in the gambling MLM niche.
The company is headed up by Michael Sander, who for some reason is going by “Michi Sander”.
Believed to be a German national, on social media Sander represents he is currently based out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
This corresponds with Baccarat Staking claiming to be “coordinated in Las Vegas, United States.”
Back in the day Michael Sander ran the pro-scam publication Obtainer Online.
BehindMLM first came across Sander after Obtainer Online ran a puff-piece on ViziNova scammer Renato Rodriguez.
Prior to Vizinova’s launch in 2014, BehindMLM had been closely following Rodriguez’s participation in WCM777.
Both
Vizinova
and
WCM777
were MLM Ponzi schemes.
ViziNova saw Sander migrate from just supporting scams in Obtainer Online, to
assisting Rodriguez launch Vizinova
.
Sander (right) signed on as Vizinova’s “Chief Consultant”.
ViziNova has engaged OBTAINER’s founder Michael Sander, who as chief consultant has developed the company structure and the set-ups.
In April 2014 Sander described Vizinova as
a business concept that is coherent, transparent and profitable.
ViziNova isn’t a Ponzi scheme or a pyramid system because from the very outset Renato Rodriguez and Gutemberg dos Santos are demonstrating transparency.
As Vizinova began to collapse in early 2015,
Sander distanced himself from the Ponzi scheme
.
In March 2017 the SEC revealed it had charged Renato Rodriguez and Gutemberg Dos Santos with fraud, alleging Vizinova to be a $5 million dollar Ponzi scheme.
Rodriguez and Gutemberg settled the SEC’s charges
.
They would continue to defraud consumers through
AirBit Club
, leading to their respective
arrests and indictments
last year.
Another Ponzi scheme Sander supported through Obtainer Online was
Bonofa
.
Bonofa’s owners were
arrested in Germany
in May 2016. A month later what was left of the Ponzi scheme was
fed into OneCoin
.
Prior to launching Baccarat Staking in early 2021, Sander was promoting
B-Epic
.
One last interesting thread is Baccarat Staking’s “staking agreement”.
The document is presented to potential affiliates to agree to when they sign up.
As above, the staking agreement reveals two new identities; Fu Leung Antonio Yu and The Baccarat Stacking [sic] Group Inc. Both supposedly based out of Macau.
The agreement is put together by “Baccarat Service”, operating from the defunct website domain “baccarat-tools.de”.
A search for “Fu Leung Antonio Yu” reveals multiple baccarat themed websites, including “baccarat.schule” and “baccaratbusiness.com”. These appear to be linked to Sander’s Baccarat Staking scheme.
On the “baccarat.schule” website, Yu is cited as Baccarat Staking’s General Manager:
In 2011 US authorities tied Yu, then identified as a Hong Kong resident, to the Winsome Investment Trust Ponzi scheme.
Winsome Investment Trust was a $72 million dollar Ponzi scheme, run by Texas resident Robert J. Andres.
