The Berry Ponzi scheme has collapsed.

Withdrawals have been disabled, and investors are being fed multiple exit-scams.

Berry went by a few names; Blueberry, Berry Trading App, Fertile Soil Global (FS Global), Berry FS Global, Berry Exchange and, more recently, Berry Max.

Known website domains associated with Berry include:

berry.im – privately registered in or around June 2022

berry.band –  privately registered on June 11th, 2022

berry.tips – privately registered on June 11th, 2022

From what I’ve been able to put together, Berry affiliates invested cryptocurrency on the promise of passive returns.

Berry had affiliates log in and click buttons, which corresponded with crypto trading.

In reality this was all an elaborate farce. Logging in to click buttons at specific times within Berry wasn’t attached to actual trading.

Berry had a commission structure tied to “VIP” tiers. This is similar to
“click a button” Chinese Ponzi schemes
.

Berry affiliates could also qualify for periodic bonuses, tied to either personal recruitment or how much they convinced others to invest.

Berry collapsed on or around May 2nd by disabling withdrawals.

In the lead up to Berry’s collapse, the Ponzi scheme launched FDPT tokens and an investment promo.

On May 3rd, 24 hours after withdrawals were disabled, Berry trotted out an “acquisition” exit-scam:

The latest update for BERRY is full of positive news, indicating a bright future ahead!

We are thrilled to announce that the BERRY exchange has received an acquisition invitation from a globally renowned institution (world renowned institution).

This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as the trust and support of our users.

Later that same day a 100% cashback on new investment (“recharging”) was also announced:

This was followed up with a BRY token launch on May 5th;
