Lyoness-Turkey: 16,915,399.49 million € have been transferred past tax to Switzerland. Tax audit report accuses.

According to the 87-page tax audit report of the Turkish Ministry of Finance in Istanbul (VERGI INCELEME RAPORU), over the course of years, Lyoness has transferred EURO 16,915,399.49 million alone to Switzerland.

Its bank accounts in Turkey have been blocked and any activity under this name has been prohibited. Lyoness/Lyconet (later myWorld) reacted with the usual wording for years: “One learned from these errors and restructured internally accordingly and adapted the trading conditions…..blabla!” The only problem is that you can rewrite a pyramid scheme to whatever liking of ones, but it will remain a pyramid scheme. If the terms and conditions had indeed been adapted to the legal regulations, myWorld would no longer be able to generate income via the Lyconet money machine.

MyWorld and Lyconet proceeded in their usual manner. The business conditions were rephrased and the financial products that were sold had been given new fantasy names to cause further confusion. That was until the next court determined the non-transparency of the trading conditions and declared them void. Until then, however, myWorld/Lyconet and, for some time now, its “shadowy plants” such as the “Black Diamond Suxess Club”, “Black Diamond Team Hannover” or the “FTP Business Club” will use the time to enlist more people in a sect-like manner with a supposedly better world with the aim of plundering their money.
