Polinur, a Ponzi scheme promising daily returns of up to 2.4%, went dark on August 19th when the operators shut down all withdrawals and vanished with investor money.

The company's explanation was pure fiction. Polinur told its affiliates the operation had been "arrested in China"—a cover story that fooled no one, especially given that Russians were running the scheme.

The scam launched just months before its collapse, but it found an enthusiastic promoter in Manny Delgado, a Florida resident who runs the YouTube channel "The Real Manny D." BehindMLM reviewed Polinur on July 8th and found Delgado celebrating as a "partner of the week." By mid-July, Delgado had recruited 87 investors into Polinur who collectively stood to lose $33,113. His personal take was revealing: he invested $10,145 and withdrew $42,686.

When withdrawals stopped, Delgado reached out to Polinur support on August 21st seeking answers. The company's response, which he shared in an August 22nd video titled "Polinur Is Done – Arrested In China?," confirmed the obvious. No arrests happened in China. The accounts weren't locked by law enforcement. They were locked by thieves making their exit.

Rather than walk away from fraud, Delgado used Polinur's collapse as a springboard. He announced he wouldn't join any more Ponzi schemes because he was launching his own.

"I have a trading platform that is coming out," Delgado said in his video. "We're talking about a platform where you'll be able to earn 2% a day. Real trading is being done."

He claimed to be CEO of an active Florida company and said the platform would launch before month's end. The promises mirror Polinur's structure exactly: AI trading, daily returns, and all the machinery of a standard Ponzi. Neither Polinur nor Delgado is registered with the SEC. Delgado said he'd continue promoting NovaTech FX and The Future Trade—two unregistered Ponzi schemes he was already pushing.

SimilarWeb data showed Polinur's traffic came primarily from Russia (21%), Vietnam (12%), and Ukraine (8%). The total number of victims and total losses remain unknown.

Delgado's vow to stop promoting Ponzi schemes lasted less than 24 hours. Within a day, he was promoting Meme Club, another Russian-run scam with a "Boris CEO" at the helm.
