In the wake of the BitHarvest Ponzi collapse, top net-winner Jan Gregory has vowed to continue scamming consumers.
BitHarvest was an MLM crypto Ponzi built around magical USB devices that purportedly mined bitcoin.
Gregory held the top investor position in BitHarvest, through which he claims 26,000 investors pumped “well over $50 million dollars” into the Ponzi scheme.
How much of that $50 million Gregory personally stole through recruitment commissions and ROI withdrawals is unclear.
What we do know is BitHarvest began slashing daily ROI rates before
collapsing
earlier this month.
BitHarvest CEO Logan Lee, played by Singaporean national Steve Ng, has disappeared.
Meanwhile in a
November 25th “leaders update”
, Gregory claims BitHarvest’s collapse “hurt his feelings”.
Hoping to continue scamming BitHarvest victims, Gregory announced plans for “new opportunities”.
[13:27] I’m actually personally looking at other opportunities today, and looking at putting my energy, my community and my time towards better and higher quality offers.
[26:06] And why would I do that? Why would I go after now new opportunities, and new projects, and new things of quality and high-caliber?
Because I want to help my people get my money back.
[29:22] BitHarvest in my opinion, is the titanic. It is sinking today. Let’s get out of here, let’s take our best people with us and let’s go build a new ship and a new project, and a new community, and let’s get everybody their money back.
Left unsaid is that in order for Gregory’s BitHarvest victims to “get their money back”, new victims will have to be stolen from.
