Details of the Dutch investigation into Ed Zimbardi have emerged, including the revelation that Zimbardi was released “after interrogation”.

Whereas Zimbardi is under investigation in the US for
MLM crypto Ponzi fraud
, in the Netherlands he is a suspected accomplice.

Dutch authorities suspect Zimbardi assisted Corina de Jong with defrauding over 1400 consumers. Specifically, Zimbardi is alleged to have helped De Jong launder over €56 million EUR.

Brandon over at Ponzi Patrol covered De Jong’s arrest in September 2023, as well as going into the non-MLM Ponzi scheme in greater detail.

Long story short, victims of “Hebburn” were pitched on 10% a month. Corina de Jong ran the Ponzi and Zimbardi is alleged to have handled the money.

De Jong funneled investor funds into Mugan Markets, a sham broker Zimbardi controlled.
