EvoRich is a spinoff of the long-running Russian Ponzi scheme,
Skyway Capital
.
Heading up EvoRich is Andrey Khovratov (aka Andrii Khovratov, Andrei Khovratov), a former Skyway Capital executive.
Khovratov is/was part of Skyway Capital’s inner-circle. In 2017 Khovratov filed a defamation lawsuit against a Russian media outlet on behalf of Skyway Capital.
He lost the case.
In July 2017 Khovratov threatened another media outlet in Crimea after they published an article critical of Skyway Capital, bringing up Anatoly Yunitskiy’s own unsuccessful lawsuit against a Belarus media outlet.
Yunitskiy put Khovratov in charge of Skyway Capital’s transition to cryptocurrency in 2017.
The man on the right in the screencap above is Anatoly Yunitskiy, the founder of Skyway Capital.
Skyway Capital was initially going to launch Skyway tokens. As the months and years dragged on however, those plans changed to CryptoUnits.
BehindMLM first documented
Skyway Capital jumping on the crypto Ponzi bandwagon
in March 2019.
In line with Skyway Capital creating dozens of shell companies to run each ruse they come up with, eventually NEEW was introduced.
NEEW stands for “New Economic Evolution of the World” and, as the base of Skyway Capital’s crypto fraud efforts, Yunitskiy appointed Andrey Khovratov as Founder and CEO.
In February 2020 Skyway Capital announced it was ditching NEEW. The company, now presented as a fully standalone opportunity, was handed over to Khovratov to run independently.
At least that’s what happened on paper. A few scenarios come to mind:
Yunitskiy and Khovratov had a disagreement/fight and decided to split;
Khovratov and Yunitskiy reached a backroom agreement through which Khovratov paid Yunitskiy for permission to run NEEW as a standalone company; and/or
Yunitskiy had had enough of NEEW going nowhere and wanted to create a new Ponzi ruse to keep Skyway Capital going, so ditching NEEW was in his best interest.
Take your pick.
The “official” reason given is, despite NEEW being just one of many Skyway Capital’s shell companies that Khovratov was appointed internally to run, that the two companies were always separate and this was just the end of a contractual partnership.
Hardly convincing given evidence of Khovratov being a Skyway executive dating back to the Ponzi scheme’s launch in 2011.
But hey, since when have Ponzi backstories had to hold up to scrutiny?
After the Skyway exit-scam, Khovratov rebranded NEEW as “Academy of Private Investor Opportunity” (I’m assuming that sounded less hokey in Russian).
This coincided with a
NEEW scam warning
issued in New Zealand in June 2020.
Academy of Private Investor Opportunity seems to have lasted till the fourth quarter of 2020, during which EvoRich was introduced.
EvoRich is another rebranding. Perhaps there’ll be another one in a few months. Who knows.
As with Skyway Capital Khovratov runs EvoRich through a series of shell companies, the most prominent of which is UGPay Group
