ONZA+: CONNECT’s AI Promise 

How a new crypto project from the CONNECT ecosystem is attracting participants with AI, trading signals, and a license-based model.  Within the Telegram community surrounding CONNECT (formerly Safir/ZENIQ/Xera.Pro/XPRO), a new project called ONZA+ has been circulating for several weeks. The product is promoted as a “90-day Crypto AI Technology License” – essentially a time-limited license that supposedly grants access to an AI-powered trading infrastructure.  At the same time, the material repeatedly emphasizes that ONZA+ is neither an investment nor a financial service – a combination that inevitably raises questions. The presentation available to us promises algorithmic cryptocurrency trading, automated market analysis and potential profits within a 90-day cycle. The internal starting signal  In a message addressed to “Regional Directors and CONNECT Top Leaders,” the company announced the launch of the project: “We would like to officially inform you about the launch of ONZA, the […]

CONNECT/WIZZAN 2026 Go Live: A Digital House of Cards?

“February 2026 marks the beginning of a historic new phase.” With these words, the leadership of CONNECT (formerly Safir/ZENIQ, Xera, XPRO) is currently rallying its community on Telegram. The message is clear: the time for promises is over; all products are now allegedly “100% live.” Yet, behind the polished facade of high-tech vocabulary and Dubai-based […]

Offshore License as a Fig Leaf – Why the Alleged Regulation Doesn’t Exist

The offers currently being promoted by Marina Graf & Werner Kaiser in connection with TAG Markets, Social Trading, Sonic AI, and “Amplified Accounts” create the impression that they are regulated, licensed financial and crypto services. This claim is demonstrably false. The central point of reference in the advertising is a so-called investment dealer license from […]

From Safir/ZENIQ to XPRO to Connect: The Shell Game Enters the Next Round

After Safir/ZENIQ, WEWE Global, The Blockchain Era, XERA, XPRO, and a long list of failed or rebranded token projects, Connect has presented itself in recent months as a fresh start. New terminology, new interfaces, new promises. However, a closer examination of communication patterns, leadership structures, and feedback from users reveals a different picture: Connect appears […]

Why independent review by BE Conflict Management is crucial Time and again, courts and supervisory authorities find that certain sales or investment models meet the criteria of a snowball or pyramid scheme. Nevertheless, there are often no criminal consequences for the key players. For victims, this seems contradictory: if a scheme was or is illegal, […]
