dude scammed ppl and still walks free??? europe needs to tighten laws. this greenwashing finance trend is a plague
All talk, no results. Pretty words mean nothing when your wallet’s empty and no one takes responsibility.
Reading this made my blood boil. How many lives were damaged so this guy could play king with fake portfolios?
heard about swiss ark from a “wealth advisor” who now vanished too. can’t believe ppl fall for this nonsense still
They make it sound so noble—carbon neutral agriculture, future of investment, etc. But it’s just another pyramid of lies.
These kinds of people are predators. Using sustainability as a cover is just next-level scummy.
wtf... so he basically just took all the money & ran? insane how easy it is to do this crap when you put a “green” label on it
I actually saw one of their old brochures—looked slick but zero substance. Now it all makes sense. Total con.
