In the financial sector various activities require a permit and conduct of business in order to avoid any disadvantages for clients and/or business partners and to ensure that transparency is maintained.
Once the financial authorities like BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) / FMA (Financial Market Authority) / FINMA (Financial Market Supervision) are informed of any irregularities and/or lack of transparency resulting from unauthorized activities performed – consciously or unconsciously by providers they take appropriate action for clarification. In case the suspicion is confirmed the authorities can proceed with so-called enforcement action against unauthorized providers which can even lead to a liquidation of the company.
BaFin/FMA/FINMA maintain and publish alert lists. Companies who are featured on said list were investigated with regard to illegal activities but since they did not fulfill their disclosure obligation towards the authorities these suspicions could not be confirmed.
An entry on the warning list does not necessarily mean that the activities practiced by the listed companies are illegal but is rather pointing out that the companies were not granted authorization. Once the authorities could establish clarification and required adjustments the affected companies are removed from the list.
Particular caution should be applied with regard to providers who have already been issued a ruling or have severely violated the regulatory provisions, e.g.
An intelligently set up network marketing which is using a now common cash back system by preying on gullible customers and selling them various merchandising units and/or respectively selling overpriced cash register systems to retailers.
Many so-called Lyoness business partners are not even aware of their name being listed on Lyoness’ website or others have terminated cooperating with Lyoness due to economic inefficiency and are now stuck with said cash register systems.
Lyoness allegedly has a EUR 1.3 billion annual turnover without disclosing the details these numbers are based on.
How such revenue can be generated solely from the cash back system does not require the Nobel Prize in mathematics.
When considering the numbers of supposedly 4.7 million members worldwide and with slightly more than 50,000 points of acceptance in mind this is nothing especially since most dealers are small retailers.
* Nuggets Game = Trade with Nuggets (Nuggets share price develops through the interaction between Lopoca and the gambler), licensed in Malta since 2012- > Gambling vs. Investment??!!
* According to Lopoca the games develop solely through recommendation (participants acquire gamblers and earn commissions through them i.e. cash back commission by partner registration) and Lopoca contradicts all allegations of a pyramid scheme and claims that commissions are solely based on product related multi-level-marketing (MLM).
Lopoca operates solely on the recruitment of new members. If payouts are made at all they take place under difficult conditions. There is an unclear company structure with no transparency, etc. There are claims like “we did a sale trial run in the amount of EUR 300,00 with an initial promising share development but failed at our first attempt to distribute the profits”. The standard excuses used by these structures are always “due to the exchange of our existing computer system; … due to the transition to new software; … due to server/hardware failure …, etc.
Mr. Jan Waizenegger (nee Darkow) who seems to be suffering from megalomania is supposed to be the actual general manager. Being an ardent defender of Lyoness Europe AG he labels former clients who lost their investments to be working class idiots and that not everyone can be a winner.
As he told us by phone, he earns millions with his tens of thousands of network contacts and Lyoness and describes himself as one of Germany’s leading motivation coaches. He tried to prevent our investigation on Lyoness amongst other things by threats which could be taken seriously as he allegedly spent 12 years in prison for committing capital crimes.
In the meantime we were specifically asked by a lawyer to delete our entries regarding Jan Waizenegger, a request we shall not act on since Mr. Waizenegger used exactly these expressions during our telephone conversation.
In cooperation with our professional lawyers and business detective agencies we thoroughly researched and deliberated on Premium Safe including their subsidiaries and agents.
In legal terms claims for damages against the company and their general manager Uckermann should go through without any problems since the business model of Premium Safe represents a deposit business pursuant to the Banking Act (KWG) requiring the permission of the banking supervision (Bafin).
The operation of deposit transactions without the required authorization is a violation of § 32 German Banking Act (KWG) in conjunction with § 1 para. 1 no. 1 Banking Act (KWG), § 54 Banking Act and is a criminal offense but is also simultaneously a protective legislation in accordance with § 823 of the Civil Code (BGB) representing a legal basis for claims for damages.
Furthermore, German courts acknowledge the liability of responsible managing directors and CEOs since managing directors were obliged to verify whether permits according to the German Banking Act were required.
Furthermore, liability for fraud due to the operation of a snowball system/Ponzi scheme would apply according to § 263 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with §823 II of the Civil Code. The enforcement could however proof to be problematic due to the lack of funds of Premium Safe Ltd. & Co. Verwaltungs KG and Uckermann is nowhere to be found.
However, there still remains a claim against the investment advisors who recommend the investments after investigating whether the consulting duties/duties of disclosure were breached.
