    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

Problem Exposing Bitcoiin2Gen, Options Rider, Banc De Option, Fast Options and about dozen and a half more

I am having an issue with a company
It takes a high level of computer & technological skill and time to set up a scam site.
Then they market their scam to the billions of internet users to get those suckers who are easily duped into fast & easy money and/or those who are looking for love & sex with a pretty face.
Even with only 0.001% of their targets falling for their scam, that's still a lot of money and well worth their time & energy.
Or you buy a graylabel. Or pay people who build it.
But true. Worth their engagement.
 
MORE INFORMATIO ON THE CASE - meet Antonije Stojiljkovic a.k.a. TONY

Following up on the latest extradition and new developments, we learned some additional information that would be interesting to the public.

A famous Behindmlm.com had covered extensively the case and keeps monitoring the legal case developments, as well as scammer's accomplices in the USA who were arrested/accused. Legal papers digested info on the scam group can be found here:


Now the stage names are also known:
  1. Kristijan Krstic, aka Kristian Jacobs, Felix Logan, Oliver Turner and Marshall Graham;
  2. Xenia Faye Atilano Krstic, aka Majda Pratejc, Xenia Faye Jacobs and Xenia Faye Atilano;
  3. Marko Pavlovic, aka Bjorn Emerson, Marlon Butler and Willem Adelbert;
  4. Uros Slakovic, aka Lax Lesmo, Michael [sic] Anderson and Abbey Brooks
  5. Haojia Miao, aka Stan Miao;
  6. Nenad Krstic, aka Roland Valgerdur and Kevin Ericsson;
  7. Antonije Stojiljkovic (extradited by his own will) aka Toni Rivas and Jacob Gold;
  8. Andrija Selakovic, aka Andy Alinary;
  9. Blazo Radulovic;
  10. Nikola Dimitrijevic;
  11. Nenad Mladenovic;
  12. Milos Mitic, aka Tom Hardian
One can note that no.10 and no.11 do not have stage names, which is in line with previous info we had - some of them were not aware of shat was happening and did a contract IT job, probably unaware of the scam or consequences (this is for the court to determine).
No 7. Antonije Stojiljkovic aka Toni Rivas and Jacob Gold is some kind of local musician or artist, his linked in picture, https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonije-stojiljkovic-16230250/

Balkaton ltd (link) is btw a local music-media company where the accused Antonije Stojiljkovic is part of a 'gang' with a locally famous pop singer called Rasta, who is sole owner of the company. the one to the far right is probably the accused Stojiljkovic, member of pop group:

1612818349860.png

The only reason why such details would be presented here is because of his 'artistic' name in the band:
Link - Zly Tony, or 'Evil Tony', as we were explained by local sources. It's some kind of local new-wave rap group hence the inventive names. But his Tony nick is in line with his scam stage name.


As we always reiterate - scammers follow patterns and rarely use brain to its full extent. Btw, this Rasta artist appears to have some drugs-related convictions, per local media sources. Last but not least, we were told that during the last few days and major crime-busts performed by the local police, of a local huge organized crime group, his (Rasta's) vehicle was reported parked outside the building where the crime group was brought for interrogation and later arrested to jail. Details are quite murky but it should be noted here that links between pop media individuals and criminals is not uncommon over there.

Local media also reported at the time that Mr Stojiljkovic comes from a wealthy family that immediately started selling assets to gather money for defense in the States, upon extradition.

Adding info on the part where this 'Tony' character was connected in some way to organized crime, we bring the latest local news again:

Mentioned local pop-star Rasta, whose side-kick is/was Antonije Stojisavljevic a.k.a. Tony, had a manager - in fact entire pop group had a manager. The manager (ex-policeman) was reportedly arrested (one of many local articles link that shake the local audience for days) as he was confirmed to be a part of the large crime organization, that had deals in many industries like construction, sports, music, drugs, trafficking, murders, money laundering, etc. Most of these arrests (cybercrime group included) were coordinated and conducted via FBI and DEA. Many local political and government officials as well as state security service employees seem to be involved and it looks like Eastern Europe is getting its new Ukrainegate, as the issue is much wider scaled then this particular scam, e.g. a 2020 DEA discovery of a single-largest illegal cannabis plantation in entire Europe, facilitated and promoted by local Serbian government officials as organic food. Somewhere in this big mess, a glimpse of illegal Bitcoin harvesting facilities start to emerge, as well (this will be elaborated later on, as it is not directly tied to this thread)
Some informed sources state that the very same crime organization was in charge of protection, supervision and monthly payments collection for 'services' provided to many local boiler rooms.
It is therefore quite impossible that this particular cybercrime group organized by Kristijan Krstic acted independently, especially given the fact that per initial local news reports, upon raid and search, evidence of bank(s) accounts with some 250 million USD was discovered.

We should add some more input on Kristijan Krstic himself now.

This saga is far from over. Updates coming.
 
First things first... Meet Kristijan Krstic a.k.a. Felix Logan CFO of OptionRiders, B2Gen etc ...

After a very long time of back and forth, preliminary info, hide and seek and other time-wasters, this saga develops into a movie thriller with still unknown outcome. Hopefully not a tragic one.

Following on the April 2021 Court of Appeal 2nd ruling on approved extradition to the USA:

1634569838966.png



followed by the desperate and melodramatic Mrs Krstic 'cry for help' that shall be further addressed later on for a good reason, the lawyers and the EU human rights 'protectors' step in the to the scene.


1634570551866.png



After the arrest and detention, lawyers appealed even to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, who stepped in and halted the US DOJ extradition request on grounds of human rights. In the meantime part of the group was already released to ‘house-arrest’, meaning no movements without reporting to the local police. The 3 main suspects, Kristijan Krstic, his wife Xenia Faye Atilano Krstic and Marko Pavlovic, remained in court detention. Then sometime this summer (July-August 2021) they were also released, with mandatory home confinement fur purely procedural legal reasons – the max legal length of court detention (being in jail while waiting to be trialed or extradited, due to risk of fleeing) expired. So, they were free to go home and report to the designated police station in their home city of Nis, Serbia until further notice.

As strange as it may sound, the Krstic’s were not obliged to surrender their travel documents (Australian, Philippines and Serbian passports-perhaps even some more, but not known so far), while the third one, Marko Pavlovic, had to. It is not clear why was this decided, perhaps the local law enforcement assessed that they would not flee due to 4 of their children, living with them. Or perhaps not…

The family reunion was indeed heavily covered by the media and pained as some sort of a ‘triumph’, as weird as it may sound…

Close-up on the lawyer, he becomes important later on …

So alleged scammers can go home. Well ok, kids are without parents for some time and it may make some sense, right?

And then, it happens …

While the rest of the 'gang' was already out of the prison and working their ways through legal stuff, the prominent 3 of the group was finally out due to procedural legal reasons as well as fact that they all had families and children. While Krstic pair is already explained, we add that the 3rd suspect Marko Pavlovic, local nickname Pavlaka (a.k.a. Bjorn Emerson, Marlon Butler and Willem Adelbert - stage names per US DOJ indictment details) also applied the same pattern - wife and mother interviewed by journalists to gain positive media coverage and paint himself as the 'victim' not the perpetrator and co-conspirator in the wire fraud and cybercrime.

YT prtscrn, mother's interview, claiming her son Marko Pavlovic is a an ordinary guy, struggling to make a living for his small family, absolutely no millions were stolen, as he has none etc. Went similarly with his wife's interview.

Btw, here is a grieving mother twitter account. Apparently a world traveler, Italy, Emirates, enjoying Dubai and perhaps even residing there with undisclosed business, while her son struggles to pay rent and life expenses for himself and his family. Hmm, strange isn't it? Ok, it happens, we don't judge.

One random pic from Sofia, Bulgaria (btw, Marko Pavlovic has a Bulgarian passport as well)

and so on... Pls remember these countries as they will appear later on - Australia, Bulgaria, Emirates, as the countries where these scammers had assistance and operated previous scams (remember, over 25 or more fraudulent websites dating from as early as 2011 and peaking as of 2016-2017, spanning throughout binary options era, over CFD fake websites ending with crypto hype Ponzi schemes). We do not claim anything, but we find coincidences to be strange, at least.
 
Suddenly, after a promising development of events (gang is out, home, EU cares about their rights, postponing the inevitable extradition) the following happens:
1634575994272.png


The merry gang literarily disappears from the face of the Earth. Wow, who would have thought of that one, right?

As the famous Behindmlm.com covered these events regularly, we will add their humorous headlines here: link
1634576254277.png


The breaking news spread fast
1634576428952.png


Public questions started to be posed, journalists wondered how the hell would this be possible and why were they not properly supervised, but left to self-report to the police station twice a week, followed by not checking in for a full month!? At last, the police followed up and checked on them just to learn they were long gone. Yeah, right... ever heard of tracking device guys? The little thing you chain to the wrist? No? Ok... But you see, the strange thing is - some of the other less important group members had that little gadget pegged to the leg immediately upon being released to home detention. Last but not least - why was Krstic married couple not deprived of their passports (as if they would be stupid enough to use them anyway)? Too many questions, but no answers.

Original police report, declaring the suspects in home detention were not found - Marko Pavlovic last seen/reported to police station on 29th July 2021, while Krstic couple on 5th August 2021. Last one ever to see them was a lady babysitting Krstic children, on 6th August. The lady has no idea where they went and does not have their contact number (really? that's usual for babysitters, not to communicate to parents?). Pavlovic's wife had similar story - did not see or hear from him 2 weeks time (and did nothing, all the situation considered?). Top comment comes from the child social service employees, who were previously checking on Krstic kids - no idea what's happening, they discontinued supervision in July 2021 and that's it. Kids are taken care of and under adult supervision and live in abundance (off course they do, mom and dad swindled at least 70mn USD but probably much much more).

Saving the best for last, the infamous lawyer statement on the unexpected and surprising event of his protegees fleeing:

1634578168116.png

Truly marvelous statement, coming from a lawyer who is reported to be with deep ties to the ruling structures in the country and very expensive to hire, mainly for his ability to strike deals and push where necessary to obtain acquittal for his clients, most frequently from the crime structures of the society. Job well done, congrats.
