Back in June BehindMLM reported that
OneCoin was under police investigation
in Finland.
The investigation, headed up by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), sought to establish whether or not OneCoin was operating in Finland as a pyramid scheme.
After months of quiet it was announced last week that the results of the NBI investigation were to be made public this Wednesday.
The report has since been published sometime in the last few hours, with the NBI not taking further action against OneCoin at this time.
The NBI’s investigation into OneCoin established that
OneCoin’s operations are managed from Bulgaria.

In OneCoin, those funds are sourced from newly invested affiliate funds – making OneCoin a Ponzi scheme.
The NBI meanwhile explain that, based on their own preliminary investigation, they currently don’t have enough to take the case further.
Accordingly, the NBI (KRP) will continue to monitor OneCoin’s activities.
KRP will continue with relevant information gathering utilizing the domestic and international intelligence channels. Should the situation change, the matter will be reviewed.
National Bureau of Investigation calls for the utmost caution with the participation of these types of opportunity because they are associated with difficult to anticipate economic and criminal risks.
(In the) National Bureau of Investigation’s view, the promise or expectation of an oversize yield are not realistic.
Realistic or not, the implied promise of “oversized yields” is exactly why purportedly thousands of OneCoin investors have dumped millions of dollars into the scheme.
I suspect a large factor in the NBI’s decision is the fact that OneCoin has no formal business or banking operations in Finland.
