Mainet Review: Collapsed BeTrader Ponzi reboot with forex

A serial scammer behind two failed schemes is back with a third one, and this time he's pushing forex trading while hiding his identity.

Mainet operates without listing any ownership or executive information on its website. The domain mainet.business was privately registered on May 26th, 2022. Marketing materials, however, reveal that Ciprian Ciceu founded and runs the operation. That name should raise red flags for anyone who lost money in his previous ventures.

Ciceu built BeTrader in August 2019, promising investors monthly returns of 20 to 40 percent. The scheme collapsed by October of that same year. When BeTrader imploded, Ciceu simply rebranded. He launched BeTrader Academy, a cryptocurrency Ponzi that sold worthless "couches" to funnel money into BETRA, an ERC-20 token he created. Setting up these shitcoins takes minutes and costs almost nothing. BETRA eventually flopped and was abandoned. BeTrader Academy's website still exists as a digital tombstone.

Now Ciceu is working out of Bucharest, Romania, possibly with ties to Belgium. Mainet is his third attempt at the same game with a new coat of paint.

The structure screams Ponzi. Mainet has no actual products or services to sell. Affiliates market nothing but membership itself. The pitch centers on promised returns of up to 0.75 percent daily through an investment program. Members choose from eleven investment tiers ranging from $25 to $50,000.

Like his previous schemes, Ciceu built in an MLM component to keep the money flowing. Affiliates earn by recruiting other investors rather than selling anything tangible. The compensation plan contains seventeen ranks, each tied to how much money you personally dump into the scheme and how much you pressure others to invest.

Hit the lowest rung by signing up and investing. Reach "Jade" by convincing others to throw in $100. Climb to "Gold" by recruiting $750 in investments. The ranks keep stacking. "Diamond" requires a personal investment of $500 and recruiting $75,000 from your downline. "Royal Ambassador" demands maintaining a $50,000 position while recruiting $50 million in total investments from people below you.

The math doesn't work. It never does. These structures require exponential growth that eventually collapses under its own weight. Most members lose money. A tiny percentage at the top profit while thousands below them get wiped out.

Ciceu's pattern is clear: launch a scheme, watch it fail, disappear briefly, then return under a new name. He's done it twice. Mainet is the third iteration. The people joining now are financing the same model that already destroyed other investors twice before.

This isn't speculation about future outcomes. This is a documented pattern from a known operator. Anyone considering Mainet should search for BeTrader and BeTrader Academy first. The ending is already written.
