A BuddyX Ponzi executive is running for UK parliament.

As
uncovered by Hope Not Hate
on June 14th, Reform UK has put Barnsley Borough Council member David White as a candidate for Barnsley South.

Outside of politics, White is BuddyX’s Head of Business for the UK and EU.

Appearing as a BuddyX “founder” at a marketing event held in Thailand last August…

…White staked his entire political career on BuddyX’s legitimacy.

[1:22:04] I think it’s worth saying that I am very politically active in the UK. I’m a local councillor and the political party that I represent has put me forward to stand as a member of parliament in the next general election next year.

So it’s incredibly important to myself that everything is as clean as possible. Because believe it or not, UK politicians have to be straight guys, and girls.

So when I first met with some of the BuddyX core team, I asked a lot of questions about the jurisdiction, about legalities. They ticked every single box.

I’m more than happy with the project and, does this look like a scam?

BuddyX, a
Dubai-based Ponzi scheme
that isn’t registered to offer securities in 
any
jurisdiction,
collapsed
earlier this year.

In a nutshell, BuddyX participants invested in BDYX, an internal shit token BuddyX created. BuddyX touted returns of up to 30%, paid every 180 days (see BehindMLM’s published
BuddyX review
for full details).

Returns were paid in BDYX tokens, which BuddyX generated on demand. As part of BuddyX’s collapse, BDYX was dumped on a dodgy crypto exchange.

As a BuddyX executive, how much David White stole through the Ponzi scheme is unclear.

As Hope Not Hate points out, as a Barnsley Borough Council member White sits on the

Appeals, Awards and Standards Regulatory Board, which “enforces the code of conduct for elected councillors and employees”.

Research from Hope Not Hate indicates that White hasn’t declared his role as a BuddyX executive, as he’s legally required to do.

Having expressed this desire for everything to be “as clean as possible”, it is therefore strange that Cllr White did not declare any aspect of his involvement with BuddyX to Barnsley Borough Council, despite the Code of Conduct requiring that councillors declare “any employment, office, trade, profession or vocation carried on for profit or gain” within 28 days.

White’s own entries indicate that he did not declare his role with BuddyX to the council at any point after April 2023, and in September 2023 confirmed that his register of interests was up-to-date without adding mention of BuddyX.

On March 31 2024, he issued another statement declaring that he had received no gifts or hospitality over the preceding year.

The only indication of White’s double-life as an crypto Ponzi executive, is a reference to “work[ing] in the fintech sector” on Reform UK’s website.

In his entries White did disclose the his UK company
Northwood Solutions Group LTD
, which he claims is an advertising agency.
