A Florida-based nonprofit is taking a sledgehammer to one of crypto's most notorious Ponzi schemes. United Investor Community Inc. filed a sweeping RICO class-action lawsuit this month against OmegaPro and the network of people it says profited from a $500 million fraud that bilked tens of thousands of investors across the globe.

The complaint, filed February 13th in Miami's federal court, names 15 defendants ranging from alleged scheme architects to celebrity promoters who allegedly used their platforms to recruit victims. At the heart of it: OmegaPro, a cryptocurrency MLM that promised 200% returns before collapsing in November 2022.

The operation didn't die with OmegaPro's collapse. According to the complaint, the scheme morphed into GoGlobal Forex LTD in 2023—a reboot that continued the same game. Prosecutors also allege OmegaPro funneled investor cash into Traders Domain Forex LTD, another defunct Ponzi operation.

United Investor Community represents a coalition of members who collectively lost over half a billion dollars. The nonprofit, incorporated in Florida last June, counts five directors including Lyadunni Udugba and Olayemi S. Ayodele.

The defendants read like a cross-section of crypto's dark underbelly. Andreas Attila Szakacs, a Swedish national and OmegaPro co-founder, sits in Turkish custody after his arrest in mid-2024. Dilawar Singh, a German national and co-founder, remains at large. Nader Poordeljoo, listed as a Dutch national, also faces allegations.

But the lawsuit also targets the famous names who allegedly used their reach to drive recruitment. Jordan Ross Belfort, a Florida resident, supposedly leveraged his notoriety to convince hundreds of thousands of people to invest. John C Maxwell, a Georgia resident billed as an "OmegaPro Ambassador," allegedly recruited thousands. Michael Shannon Sims, a Florida resident, allegedly served as the scheme's Chief Strategic Advisor.

The complaint doesn't shy away from pointing fingers at Dubai's elite. It names Sheikh Mohammed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum—Dubai's Crown Sheikh—for using "his fame, fortune and influence to promote OmegaPro." Sheikh Saoud Faisal Sultan Al Qassimi, a royal family member and billionaire, allegedly promoted multiple Ponzi schemes and even bought into OneCoin.

The suit goes further, naming Dubai itself and the UAE as defendants, claiming they failed to supervise the schemes operating openly within their borders. The filing describes Dubai as the "MLM crime capital of the world."

One quirk complicates the picture: United Investor Community was incorporated just 18 months after OmegaPro's 2022 collapse and only 2.5 months before filing this lawsuit. How the organization claims representation of tens of thousands of victims across such a compressed timeline remains unclear.

The 105-page complaint represents perhaps the most comprehensive effort yet to hold accountable everyone from the architects who built the scheme to the celebrities who sold it and the governments that allowed it to flourish.
