The Guardia Civil announced on June 4 the arrest of a director of OmegaPro at a hotel in southern Tenerife, executed on an international warrant issued at the FBI's request. The operation itself came earlier: the man was taken into custody around five days before the announcement, according to a journalist with direct knowledge of the case. A judge remanded the man in custody, citing flight risk and the gravity of the charges. Spain's Audiencia Nacional will process the U.S. extradition request.
Spanish authorities did not release his name. They didn't have to. A process of elimination does the work.
Michael Shannon Sims, 48, OmegaPro's founder and strategic consultant, was arrested on July 8, 2025, after a U.S. federal indictment was unsealed in Puerto Rico. Juan Carlos Reynoso, 57, who ran Latin American operations, has been detained since June 30, 2025; a judge revoked his pretrial release that July. Andreas Szakacs, the Swedish chief executive who acquired Turkish citizenship under the name Emre Avci, has sat in Istanbul's Maltepe Prison since July 2024 — and Turkey does not extradite its citizens.
That leaves Dilawar Singh, OmegaPro's co-founder and Chief Network Officer. Industry watchdog BehindMLM reported in July 2025 that Singh was “last known to be hiding in Spain.” No public indictment names him, which points to a sealed U.S. case behind the warrant executed in Tenerife. According to a journalist with direct knowledge of the operation, officers found a hardware crypto wallet concealed in the detainee's pocket, holding access to tens of millions of dollars.
Singh built the machine that brought the money in. Born in India and trained in Hamburg as a sports teacher, he came to OmegaPro from Omnia Tech, a collapsed crypto-mining MLM where he served as ambassador. At OmegaPro he ran the global recruitment network from Dubai, headlining leader events from Bogotá to Lagos while the company projected its logo onto the Burj Khalifa. On May 12, 2022, OmegaPro staged the “Legends Cup” at Dubai's Armani Hotel — billed as the first football match played beneath the tower, with Ronaldinho, Kaká, Iker Casillas, Luís Figo, John Terry and Wesley Sneijder on the pitch.
The numbers depend on who is counting. U.S. prosecutors charged $650 million raised in cryptocurrency from thousands of investors. Turkish prosecutors allege $4 billion moved through the network. Victim associations behind a Florida RICO class action estimate close to 3 million investors across Colombia, Mexico, Nigeria, India, France and beyond.
The corporate web stretched across five jurisdictions. OmegaPro Ltd was incorporated in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in May 2018. OMP Money Ltd, a UK shell registered with the FCA as an e-money agent, lost its registration twice before January 2022. When the scheme collapsed — withdrawals frozen in November 2022, a “hack” announced weeks later — investor balances were dumped into Broker Group, a Panama entity court filings say was owned by Szakacs, Sims and Singh. A reboot called Go Global launched on February 1, 2023, fronted by MLM trainer Eric Worre. The money, U.S. investigators found, had already moved through wallets controlled by insiders; the government has seized three crypto addresses on three blockchains.
Extradition now runs on two tracks. Sims and Reynoso face up to 20 years per count for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. Szakacs remains beyond U.S. reach in Istanbul. The man in the Tenerife cell waits for the National Court in Madrid to rule — and for his name to become public.
“OmegaPro promised financial freedom but delivered financial ruin,” IRS Criminal Investigation chief Guy Ficco said when the U.S. charges were unsealed.
