EvoRich
was a spinoff of Anatoly Yunitskiy’s Skyway Capital Ponzi scheme.
Andrey Khovratov, EvoRich’s founder and CEO, was
arrested in Russia
in April 2022.
Khovratov has been charged with criminal fraud and, as of May 2023,
remains in pre-trial detention behind bars
.
Armands Murnieks doesn’t publicly acknowledge Khovratov’s arrest. He refers to it as a “force majeure”.
Murnieks joined
Skyway Capital
back in 2014 and was one of EvoRich’s top net-winners.
After Khovratov’s arrest, Murnieks and several accomplices scrambled to funnel their victims into several reload scams.
So far we’ve had
Bobcoin
(May 2022),
FNT
(September 2022) and
Dragon Man NFTs
(September 2022).
What’s left of the EvoRich reload scams has now been grouped under Coinset branding.
Today we’re looking into Coinset and the ongoing attempts to pump worthless EvoRich bags.
Central ringleaders in Coinset are Murnieks and Mila Serdjukova.
Serdjukova is attached to Russian national Valentin Sokolonikov, who she just had a baby with.
Sokolonikov was EvoRich’s Head of Consumer Control and Analysis. He is also CEO of Global Unit Pay.
Of the EvoRich reload scams BehindMLM has covered;
Bobcoin appears to have been abandoned (as an EvoRich reload scam);
FNT’s website is dead; and
Dragon Man NFTs remain attached to a film production stuck in limbo for three years (the grift was selling NFT investment positions attached to a vaporware movie)
Coinset operates from the domain “coinset.info”, privately registered on November 17th, 2022.
A visit to Coinset’s domain reveals it is registered but not set up to host a website.
Coinset’s affiliate log in form is hidden on an “office” subdomain.
At least for now, Coinset is strictly targeting EvoRich victims only.
So what is Coinset?
Basically you have the baggage carried over from EvoRich, combined with the newly created baggage from the reload scams, combined with some new baggage-in-the-making.
First up we have the Dragon Man NFT grift. Despite being first pitched about a year ago, the NFTs purportedly went out “by the end of May” 2023.
This coincides with Coinset launching a “market hub” and “product hub”:
Coinset’s primary money spinner is seven tiers of NFT membership, ranging in price from $50 to $15,000.
For some reason only the first tiers are being released for now:
Basic – $50
Professional – $500
Bronze VIP – $2000
I suspect this is due to
not wanting to commit too much if Coinset’s NFT memberships flop; and
not knowing what to put in the higher tiers, which also ties back to the first reason
The highest Bronze VIP NFT tier available is pretty vague:
Market Hub – “additional promotions and privileges” and the ability to run your own schemes
Knowledge Hub – ability to sell products to other Coinset affiliates
Product Hub – a PDF certificate (of what?), ability to sell courses to other Coinset affiliates, rank qualification safety net
ability to create and shill NFTs to other Coinset affiliates
