The company now claims to be an generating revenue via app sales.
Oh and of course withdrawals have stopped too. Ruhroh!
Crowd1’s original Ponzi ruse was that they were
generating revenue via online gaming
.
Crowd1 claimed one of its major gaming partners was Premier Bet.
Earlier this month however Premier Bet confirmed they had no partnership with the company.
A few days after that story broke, Crowd1 deleted any reference to gaming on its website.
Here’s the story they came up with to replace it;

Rather than front Crowd1 himself, Werner pays Johan Staël von Holstein to be the face of the company.
Another name to note on Impact Crowd Technology SL’s incorporation listing is Tor Anders Petteroe.
Tor Anders Petteroe is the CEO of Towah Group, a payment processor responsible for millions of dollars in Ponzi losses over the years.
Although we can’t say for sure, Petteroe is likely behind laundering money invested into Crowd1.
We last came across Petteroe back in 2017 through
Titus Community
.
Titus Community promoted Titus Coin Ponzi points, and appears to have collapsed late last year.
Although Crowd1 is pushing ahead with their hastily put together app narrative, posts on the company’s official Facebook page suggest a collapse.
The earliest complaints of non-payment appear to be backdated about five weeks:
