In a communication to his downline, top promoter George van Wijk has claimed Crowd1 is “unfair and unsafe”.
As per van Wijk’s communication, believed to have been sent out late last week;
Every journey must come to an end – EVEN if sometimes it is not the end we worked for, wished for or hoped for – and for me and my family this is one of these times.
I am therefore officially announcing that I, in good standing with the company, have decided to resign from my position as Ambassador 3 Star of Crowd1.
This is not a decision that is taken lightly or in haste. The reality is that this decision is the outcome of many months of countless attempts to steer the company in a direction that would make it fair and safe for the distributors.
Let me make it clear this is not a blame game but a simple realization that we have not been able to solve the issues in a way that we are comfortable with will serve the team members and for this I am deeply sorry.
As leaders we are challenged on a daily basis and our decisions are impacting every single member of the team. We must always find the correct balance between loyalty and reality.
In other words,
leaders can not have a captain’s mentality and simply insist on being the last person on the sinking ship
– that is not our job!
Our most important job is to LEAD – we are quite simply measured on how well we lead people to the benefit of everyone. Before announcing our next steps we want to give people the opportunity to reflect and adapt – we know that our decision will be a disappointment to some and for that we are sorry.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many hardworking people in Crowd1. Not to mention all of our global leaders to whom we want to express our gratitude and ultimate loyalty.

Van Wijk didn’t go into specific details, however Crowd1’s
ongoing withdrawal delays
have been well-documented.
In essence, the Ponzi side of Crowd1 collapsed in 2020. Top recruiters had been getting by on pyramid recruitment commissions, however Crowd1 recruitment has now also all but collapsed.
Another likely contributing factor is Crowd1’s complete collapse in western countries.
SimilarWeb tracks a decline in Crowd1 website traffic over the past few months. In September 2022 Crowd1 saw roughly 1.6 million visits to its website. In October and November that slumped to 1.4 million.
That’s not an insignificant amount of traffic, but for an MLM Ponzi scheme it’s stagnation. And stagnation leads to collapse.
Furthermore, SimilarWeb tracks top sources of Crowd1 website traffic as Russia (48%), Ukraine (13%) and Germany (5%).
Clearly, the majority of traffic to Crowd1’s website is originating out of eastern Europe. From this we can surmise Crowd1 has devolved into Russians scamming Russians.
And obviously that recruitment isn’t happening in van Wijk’s downline, leading to his exit.
