A victim of the “Pharaoh of Bitcoins” fell into a new scam associated with the company GAS Consultoria, where values were sent over the Internet to the possible scheme. After the situation, he said it took him a while to believe it was all a hoax and now he doesn’t trust anyone else.
This company has been under investigation by federal police since 2021, when it was caught offering 10% per month fixed income with alleged bitcoin operations in brokers around the world.
However, these operations were never proven by the company, which later found that a court order prevented the continuity of its operations.
It is worth remembering that the key leaders of GAS were arrested by the PF in Operation Kryptos, including Glaidson Acácio dos Santos, the so-called “Pharaoh of Bitcoins”.
When this operation took place, the city of Cabo Frio, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, was severely impacted by several pyramid schemes that sprung up in the region, with GAS being the largest company in the sector. Several cases of violence were associated with these companies, including in one case the husband of the singer Perlla.
Bitcoin Pharaoh customers may be back in their sights
Since 2021, customers have not received any income pledges and cannot even get their money back, and several lawsuits against the company have already been opened in court across Brazil.
Many are desperate to recoup their investments and may be receiving proposals from former GAS leaders for new investments. That is, it is possible that new scams have appeared in the market with the image of the “Pharaoh of Bitcoins”.
It is important to remember that only financial pyramids make promises of a fixed monthly return. Customers who encounter new promises should therefore beware of new financial fraud.
What does GAS Consultoria say?
In a note released last Wednesday (22), GAS Consultoria says it is unrelated to the new scam using the “Pharaoh of Bitcoins” image, and has suspended its activities since receiving a court order. warrant, still in 2021. .
“Since we received the court order to cease operations of the company, all activities were immediately interrupted and the team of consultants who provided services to the company were not allowed to offer services on behalf of GAS.
Unfortunately, there are those who use the name and credibility of GAS to offer services and run scams, as seen below from a message we received this Monday (20/06) through Glaidson’s channel:
Therefore, we emphasize that all activities of the company remain suspended pursuant to a court order and that no one is authorized to provide or offer services on behalf of GAS Consultoria or Glaidson and Mirelis.
We deeply regret that there are still people taking advantage of all this suffering we are experiencing to apply scams.”
