A Ponzi scheme that promised riches through cryptocurrency is now demanding its salespeople destroy evidence of fraud.
Nugen Universe, operated by Florida-based Fazil Mohamed Jabar and John Austin in North Carolina, cracked down on affiliates after investigative coverage exposed plans to license a US bank while committing securities fraud. The company issued new Terms and Conditions ordering members to immediately delete all unapproved posts, videos, and advertisements across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
The timing wasn't subtle. The new restrictions came after BehindMLM published details about Nugen Universe's scheme on June 27th. Within days, the company moved to control the narrative by threatening legal action against anyone sharing information without written permission.
Members who violate the order face account lockdowns and forfeiture of benefits. The company reserves the right to pursue legal remedies and force members to pay legal fees for "harm done to the company." Translation: sue your own affiliates if they talk.
There's one carve-out. Nugen Universe permits sharing of "corporate sponsored webinars and conference calls"—presumably because the company can script those events to avoid discussing the fraud itself.
From a legal perspective, this strategy amounts to destroying evidence. Securities fraud doesn't vanish because documents disappear. Federal regulators recognize that hiding fraud is its own crime. If US authorities investigate Nugen Coin, the destruction of evidence could trigger criminal conspiracy charges stacked on top of civil securities fraud violations and wire fraud counts.
The math is straightforward. SimilarWeb data shows over 90 percent of website traffic to Nugen Universe originates from the United States. That's federal jurisdiction. The company's attempt to silence affiliates—particularly those in the US—creates documentary evidence of consciousness of guilt. Prosecutors love that.
Jabar and Austin bet that controlling information could control the outcome. They ordered their network to scrub any mention of the scheme from public view. They threatened financial punishment and legal bills. They created a paper trail of intimidation.
Federal law enforcement doesn't work that way. An order to destroy evidence is itself evidence. Threatening affiliates over what they can say makes the conspiracy visible. The more aggressively Nugen Universe tried to hide the fraud, the more obvious the fraud became.
By February 1st, 2023, Nugen Coin collapsed. The scheme that demanded silence imploded into nothing.
