Troncase provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
Troncase’s website domain (“troncase.io”) was privately registered on September 9th, 2020.
Official marketing videos on Troncase’s YouTube channel reveal whoever made them is using an Estonian language-based phone.
This suggests whoever is running Troncase has ties to Estonia.
Update 16th February 2021 –
Two individuals have emerged as likely Troncase admins; Martin Karus and Erik Nurm.
On February 8th, serial scammer Ryan Conley uploaded a video interview citing Karus and Nurm as Troncase’s Master Distributors.
Being Master Distributors, Karus and Nurm have positions at the top of the Troncase smart-contract. In the absence of anyone higher, that at the very least makes them admins.
Both Karus and Nurm are from Europe, which ties in with the Estonian connection.
As per his LinkedIn profile, Karus started in MLM with Amway in 2010.
In his own words he “made little success” at Amway, prompting him to join and promote MLM Ponzi schemes.
These include
Lyoness
,
Questra World
,
Cloud Horizon
and
Crowd1
.
In 2016 a BehindMLM reader
tied Erik Nurm to the Nano Club Ponzi scheme
.
More recently Nurm worked closely with Karus to scam people through Cloud Horizon and Crowd1.
As per Martin Karus’ Facebook profile, he’s currently hiding out in Malaysia. Erik Nurm’s Facebook profile has him hiding out in Thailand.
/end update
At the time of publication Alexa ranks the top two sources to Troncase’s website as Pakistan (48%) and the US (21%).
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
