Harald Seiz, owner of the collapsed Karatbars International, is attempting a comeback, promising unpaid commissions and nonexistent gold to former affiliates. Seiz sent a December 4th email to past account holders detailing a new business opportunity, omitting Karatbars' regulatory issues and prior failures.

Karatbars International and its V999 scheme unraveled last year, leading to regulatory warnings from New Zealand and the Bahamas this year. Seiz’s brief foray into cryptocurrency with a LifeBase spinoff in June also failed to materialize, quickly fizzling out.

In his recent communication, Seiz painted a picture of persecution, claiming state authorities and media attacked Karatbars. He suggested regulatory intervention and legal proceedings were too slow, forcing him to find "new, unassailable solutions." This narrative sidesteps the reality that Karatbars operated as a Ponzi scheme.

Seiz then addressed outstanding issues, stating that through a "strong team, international contacts and tireless work," he can now resolve unpaid gold shipments and commissions. He cited "partnerships of regulated companies and worldwide connections" as the key to this revival, asserting Karatbars would be a top performer by the New Year. The specifics of these partnerships and how they could retroactively legitimize Karatbars remain unclear.

The proposed next step involves former affiliates registering on the V999 platform using their original Karatbars email addresses. Seiz claims this is necessary to inventory claims and secure assets, acknowledging an audit by an external party will be required. The V999 platform was previously associated with Karatbars' defunct crypto ventures.
