Zeek Rewards Receivership suing Canadian net-winners

Although it was filed back in August, we only found out about the Zeek Receivership’s lawsuit against Canadian net-winners through a Receivership update published yesterday.

A complaint was first filed on the 15th of August, with an amended complaint (which added additional investors to the list of defendants) filed shortly thereafter on September 4th.

Both complaints outline the
fraudulent nature of Zeek Rewards
, and claim that

because Zeek’s net winners “won” (the victims’) money in an unlawful combined Ponzi and pyramid scheme, the net winners are not permitted to keep their winnings and must return the fraudulently transferred winnings back to the Receiver for distribution to Zeek’s victims.
