The Scammers Who Don't Want You Knowing They're Scammers
MacroCoin's legal team just threatened BehindMLM with a lawsuit to silence coverage of what looks like a pyramid scheme run by serial fraudsters.
Days after BehindMLM published a review of MacroCoin, labeling it a combination of pyramid recruitment, Ponzi fraud, and unregistered securities, the company's legal department fired off a cease-and-desist demand. The catch: MacroCoin's supposed defense of itself reads like a criminal trying to deny the obvious.
According to MacroCoin's own website, the company operates under UECB Group, with Simon Karakas as CEO and Rok Potocnik as Senior Executive. Those names matter because both men have ties to ByXpress, Coins Race, and MCoin—all previous scams. BehindMLM's analysis of MacroCoin's compensation plan found the hallmarks of classic MLM fraud: endless recruitment chains, promised returns disconnected from actual product sales, and unlicensed investment schemes.
MacroCoin didn't like that. An email arrived from "IMP Legal Department" demanding immediate removal of the article. The letter denied every connection. MCoin and MacroCoin are different companies, the lawyers claimed. ByXpress has no association with MacroCoin. And most critically: there is no MLM structure at MacroCoin whatsoever.
That last one was a lie. The compensation plan documents MacroCoin itself branded as the "International Marketing Program" show exactly how the MLM structure works.
When BehindMLM responded by sending back the actual MacroCoin website screenshots and compensation plan documents—proof the company published this material itself—IMP Legal Department ignored the evidence completely. They doubled down instead, maintaining their denials without addressing a single piece of documentation that contradicted them.
The strategy here is transparent. MacroCoin's handlers know the evidence against them is airtight. Their compensation plan documents prove the MLM structure exists. Their own website proves Karakas and Potocnik run the operation. The connections to previous scams are well documented. So instead of refuting anything specific, they demand silence and hope the threat of legal action will scare the media into compliance.
It won't work. The documents speak for themselves. MacroCoin operates an MLM compensation structure and has done so under people with histories of running identical schemes. Those are facts, not opinions, and they're backed by the company's own publications.
The legal threat itself becomes evidence of consciousness of guilt. Legitimate companies with legitimate business models don't send anonymous legal threats demanding removal of factual reporting. They either ignore it or sue with their actual names attached, ready to defend their operations in court.
MacroCoin's legal department chose the intimidation route instead. That tells you everything you need to know about what they're actually selling.
