Website & Company Information

We were unable to get the domain registration feed. The website doesn’t provide any information about who owns or runs the company.

As we can see, Freebay was established in June 2020 and is a marketing reboot of Karatbars International. In an attempt to appear legitimate, Karatbars portrays Freebay as a strategic partner. Harald Seiz owns Karatbar, and he is the same person behind Freebay. These ‘intelligent’ shady characters often create a ton of corporate companies and use these names as a prop to bolster their image.

To face the public and augment a sober corporate reality, Jurgen Pulvermuller heads Freebay as the CEO. Prior to joining Freebay, Pulvermuller worked as Karatbars’ Head of Global Sales. He was also involved with Neora, Filabe and Visalus.

Conclusion

The parent company, Karatbars International, started as a gold-themed pyramid scheme. It went on for a while, and when the new recruitments began to slow down, Harald Seiz started a crypto-themed Ponzi scheme in 2018, KaratBank Coin. The new narrative failed, and then Seiz decided to re-reboot the Ponzi scheme with a new name and hence, KaratGold Coin was born.

The hype was such in mid-2019 that hundreds of affiliates are jumping into this crypto bandwagon and they were promised that their worthless KBC shitcoin would be converted into 1 gram of gold. Within a short period, KBC dumped 62%, and the 1 gram of gold promise was predictably exposed as a lie.

Since KBC’s trading volume is dry, they have come up with a new shitcoin V999. Through V999, they are once again committing securities fraud by pushing their passive income narrative.

Beware! The regulators are already looking for these scammers and may lock up the big promoters if they want.
