Genneva Gold

Someone sent me a question to ask me about Genneva Gold Sdn Bhd.

According to the information on the website, Genneva Gold sells you Gold Bullion at a 2% discount to the market price with a buy-back guarantee.

At the end of one month, the buyer can

  1. Sell buy the gold to Genneva Gold at the market price based on the time he bought (thus making an immediate 2% profit)
  2. Keep the Gold Bullion.
  3. Rollover. Meaning do step one and buy a new Gold Bullion at a 2% discount to the current market price.

The deal seems too good to be true because the company is essentially selling you gold at a 2% discount and giving you a free put option.

There doesn’t seem to be any downside for the investor. If the price of gold goes down, he can sell it back to the company. If the price of gold goes up, he can keep the gold and sell it on a secondary market by himself.

Anyone considering this investment should ask important questions like:

  1. How does Genneva Gold generate revenue/profit from this entire transaction?
  2. Assuming an investor does just the bare minimum and rollovers his investment for 12 months, he would have made a 24% return. How does Genneva Gold substain this payout?
  3. How do you verify that the gold you receive is worth its weight in gold?

There is a “Terms and Conditions” to the 2% discount thing though. I would be interested to know what they are.

As separate attachment to client’s purchase, Genneva also extends discretionary – a) monthly ‘Hibah’ or gift averaging 1.5 to 2.2% over 3 to 6 month period – or 18 to 26.4% if annualised, and b) outright sellback option at purchase cost at the end of Hibah period – both are commitment each client must acknowledge and is discretionary and can be withdrawn by the company at anytime. Since my first purchase of gold in May 2011 however, Genneva has never failed to honour both these commitment.

If Genneva pays 1.5 to 2.0% monthly Hibah, or 18-24% per annum under existing business model and trading platform of creating market liquidity and sharing and distributing profits along the way with participating clients, I personally believe that this business can be sustained for at least another 3 to 5 years.

I saw an elevated transaction risk however, each time Genneva promoted higher than average Hibah of up to 3% – gold delivery took longer than usual triggering Gharraror uncertainty forcing Majlis Fatwa’s edict on Genneva as non-syariah compliant and unsolicited complaints from PPIM which triggered and precipitated into an outright mass sellback from majority Muslim clients sometime in August and September.

I would have fully supported this promotion if used sparingly based on limited stock and ready for delivery ex stock basis or over predetermined and mutually agreed date.

I congratulate Genneva’s ability to weather the sellback storm and attribute it to management prowess in gold trading and cashflow juggling and promotion timing, but thanks also to vintage gold and a stroke of luck when prices actually turned bullish heading into the month of October.

Despite the above episode, I see more frequent promotion offering beyond average Hibah of up to maximum 3.0% (36.0% per annum) as controversial, ‘eye popping and attention grabbing’, and hence very inviting for a BNM action.

It is most unfortunate however that BNM has to force a shutdown in Genneva in the name of pre-emptive and prudential measure on amongst others, suspicion of business sustainability as an ongoing concern.

I would rather see Genneva itself determine its own fate and choose its own ‘day of reckoning’ which I believe is possible the moment it declares inability to pay discretionary Hibah and discretionary purchase of sellback gold from its clients. Clients lesson from this is already learnt following BNM’s forced suspension of Genneva i.e. ‘at least the client has physical and valuable gold in hand’.

1. The scheme is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors.

2. Usually, the scheme is interrupted by legal authorities before it collapses because as more investors become involved, the likelihood of the scheme coming to the attention of authorities increases.

3. Ponzi schemes sometimes commence operations as legitimate investment vehicles. In 2009 the price of gold was around Rm1k and keep on rising till the high of Rm1.8k in early Nov 2011. Off course at the early stage, the scheme works organically as there were profits to be made from the rising gold price. “Kill two birds with one stone”.

4. Sadly, after reaching the high price in early Nov 2011, the gold price tends to fluctuate around Rm1.5k – Rm1.7k till today for almost a year now.

5. As such folks, symptom starts to show that the oxygen level getting lower. Due to the shortage, an aggressive ways were used to get more supply of oxygen (investors) which have triggered the authorities to smell something fishy.

Well folks, regardless of whether these activities are regulated, it is AN OFFENCE under the law TO OPERATE A FRAUDULENT OR DECEPTIVE SCHEME. So those so called investors & their CONsultants, be prepared to face the CONSEQUENCES!!

“I don’t care where Genneva get’s it’s money from, as long as they pay me my due portion” said those supporters before the raid.

“Legal(?)” and “publicly declared” Sales Pitch (as per GM2’s statement on 15 Oct 2012):

1. Selling price 25% higher
2. Gold no buy back (if any, discretionary only)
3. No Hibah (if any, discretionary only)

Outcome : 60,000 knowingly bought it (Anon Me said – YOUR MONEY, YOUR CHOICE) and crying foul play now.

60,000 actually bought overpriced gold “knowingly” despite no buy back and hibah guarantees ??? Only Anon Me would believe that ! YOU MONEY, YOUR CHOICE.

News from BusinessTimes Singapore 16 Oct 2012:

Tharman states MAS stand on gold buyback
But if needed, it will refine its regulatory framework

[SINGAPORE] Gold buyback schemes are currently unregulated, but the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will continue to monitor market practices and refine its regulatory framework if necessary, Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said yesterday.

In a written reply to a parliamentary question that comes after this month’s raid on the offices of gold trading company Genneva Pte Ltd by the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD), Mr Tharman, who is also Finance Minister and MAS chairman, added that running a fraudulent or deceptive scheme is an offence under the law regardless.

“Like most other financial regulators around the world, MAS does not regulate schemes that involve investors acquiring direct ownership of physical assets, such as property, gold, art or wine,” said Mr Tharman.

However, it will continue to monitor market practices and investment landscape trends, and refine the regulatory framework where necessary, he said.

Mr Tharman urged investors to consider how returns in any scheme are generated and find out whether there is any protection or recourse should the operator fail.

Dear goldco customers,
Today is more than half a month since your goldco had been raided by BNM + 3 on 01/10/2012 and your fund/gold in the goldco is at stake. The goldco and its con-sultans had only been looking after their own selfish interest including but not limited to golf, overseas education for their children, international schools and their lifestyle of holidays, boutique shopping, luxury cars, bungelows and the best the money can buy.
It can be seen that the grandfather’s history, which is yet to be resolved, is being repeated more than 3 years later. It is time that all of you form a group OUTSIDE AND INDEPENDENT OF the “genneva support” group to protect and fight for your interests especially for those who still have money or gold stuck in the goldco. Your interest and agenda should be to get your fund/money stuck in the goldco or with the authorities released back to you soonest. I am sure uncle Martin Lee is willing to help by setting up a new page for the “justice for GMSB customers” group. Good luck.

GM2 CONsultants :

Bear this in mind

Genneva S/B declared in their site and documentations that:

a) Gift(Hbaaah) is not guaranteed but depending on their perogative

b) buyback is not guaranteed, no print shows guarantee

CONsultants tell their investors(buyers) (i think many buyers can testify to this):

a) Hibaah guarantee for whaever 1.5,2.3% p month for 6 months

b) Buyback at ORIGINal price is guaranteed

Looking back at your sales pitch, you have been MIS REPRESENTING the company.

You CONsultants are so so supportive of Genneva.

Guess what?

You can be charged for Crimminal Misrepresentation which essentially mean CHEATING(SCAMMING) the investors!

DO YOU THINK GENNEVA WILL BAIL YOU GUYS OUT OF THIS?

Dear All,
The goldco is treating all its customers with contempt in their statement released on 15/10/2012, with the salient points as follows:
1. Customers buys gold at 25% mark up from the spot price;
2. Only discretionary hibah. Since the goldco can show that it is losing money, or in any event even if it is making money, it only pays hibah at its discretion;
3. Buy back is discretionary. Hence the customer at the end of the tenure, may lose the 25% mark up without any compensation of hibah.
4. After full payment they have to wait for their gold as the clever Punjabi lawyer had designed the S&P to the effect that the transaction is only valid upon the company accepts the customer’s purchase proposal. That is the reason that when BNM + 3 raided the goldco, it is still holding/withholding customers’ gold;
5. Upon return of gold at the end of tenure, the goldco can withhold payment for an unspecified period in order that the goldco may “inspect to find out whether the customer had handed in “fake” gold”;
When their Director Joseph Kow was asked by BNM how the company makes its money to pay hibah, commission and expenses, he profess not to know and cooked up a cock and bull story, but now their insist that the business is sustainable. If so, why not go and sit with BNM and convince them instead of just writing that “We stand firm to correct them” and leave the customers to suffer the anguish of their fund/gold being held by the authorities.
The arrogence of the goldco and their con-sultans is unlimited and they think that they can threaten the authorities with their votes in the coming GE-13.
Why the need for all the lobbying when the simple answer lies in sitting with the authorities and justifying to them that they are not operating a “ponzi” scheme and the customers should not be made to suffer for their arrogence. CUSTOMERS UNITE TO DEMAND THAT THE GOLDCO PROVE TO THE AUTHORITIES THAT ITS PLATFORM IS NOT A PONZI AND HAVE THEIR FUNDS RELEASED
IMMEDIATELY. CUSTOMERS HAVE THEIR RIGHTS TOO.

    2. Should hibah be guaranteed then?
    3. Should buy back be guaranteed then?
    4. May potential buyers insist on gold upon payment? If not, can they refuse to make payment?
    5. Should goldco inspect upon upon return? What timeframe do you recommend for inspection?
    6. Regardless of outcome in the coming GE-13, are the roles & functions of BNM the same?

Dear Warrior of Genneva,
Please think about the 200 kg you mentioned
1. Over the the past few months, there are more sell back than purchase transactions;
2. Gold price is at the highest for 2012 and the goldco had time and again told all and sundry that they make money by buying low and selling high;
3. There is a backlog of customers waiting for their gold for nearly a month and the goldco is re-cycling the gold from the buyback;
4. The Penang Kow told BNM that he, the director of Asia Pacific operation, does not know how the goldco make its money to pay hibah, commission and expenses;
5. Goldbeam is an Association to promote gold. How come all the top echelon in the association and practically 100% of its members are from the goldco and how come it is spending its members money to promote the goldco?
6. GoldBeam held an EGM on 15/10/2012 without issuing notice of meeting and thence the meeting is not constitutional and illegal. Is the Registrar of Society doing something about it?
Since business is halted, please spent some time to read the 1Ching and Sun Tzu’s “Art of War”

GM2 just released an undated and unsigned statement on their website. denying buy back guarantee and announcing hibah is discretionary (as if we did not know already).

This shifts the whole blame to:

1) BNM for confiscating buyer’s gold

2) Consultants for promising hibah and buyback (verbal or written)

Consultants now will have to face civil suits from victims who may want to sue them for misrepresentation.

As for the directors – eternal sunshine holidays.

MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT OF GENNEVA MALAYSIA SDN BHD

To all our Customers and Consultants, we say “Thank You”.

Thank you for your support and trust during this challenging time. We are proud of each and every one of you. You have shown us that we are one big family. United we stand!

As all of you know, we are in a business that is not regulated. Accordingly our name was included in the “Alert list” published by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Since inception we have approached the relevant authorities including Bank Negara Malaysia, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumerism to regulate gold trading in Malaysia.

Last November, Bank Negara Malaysia ordered us to provide them with the details of our business, our consultants and our customers. After months of investigation, Bank Negara Malaysia found no wrongdoing. They requested us to inform the public through advertisements in the newspapers of our business and status. We complied with their request.

We sought the assistance of Syariah experts and legal advisers. Pursuant to their advice we revised and improved our Standard Operating Procedures to comply with the laws and the Syariah principles.

We have at all times fulfilled our obligations towards all of you.

The press has created confusion in the minds of the public as to the true nature of our business. The authorities claim that our business is not sustainable. We stand firm to correct them.

GENNEVA MALAYSIA is not an investment company. Our business model is not a “Ponzi” scheme.

We are dealing in straightforward buying and selling of Gold. We offer no buy-back guarantee. We offer no guaranteed returns. Simply because we have been buying-back the Gold and offering handsome ‘hibah’ payments do not make our operations illegal.

Following the raid led by Bank Negara Malaysia on 1″ October, 2012 all the assets including bank accounts of the Company and its directors have been frozen. Bank Negara Malaysia has seized all the stock of Gold and cash. They have also seized all the documents and records of the Company. Thus GENNEVA MALAYSIA is crippled.

We have approached the highest authorities and our leaders to provide explanation of our operations. No director has run away. Why should we — we are innocent. We are operating a legitimate business benefiting more than 60,000 Malaysians — Malaysians of all races.

We have trust and faith in our leaders. We are sure that they will in all their wisdom see the righteousness in GENNEVA MALAYSIA.

Our faith and hard work will pay off. We are at the edge of success. We stand as one and infonn the Government that we are truly “1 Malaysia”. We are “1 GENNEVA MALAYSIA”.

THE MANAGEMENT

It was such coincidence that on that Monday there were fresh gold of near to 200kgs arrived at office.

I have also learnt that there were something planned on us involving the Finance Minister.

There were some romours on the proxy for the Finance Minister switched camp and we have to be put out to make opportunity for the other player. That’s explains why they are not listed.

Dear The Truth – Annoying Me seeks clarification / elaboration from you “if buying gold from Genneva is considered an INVESTMENT?”.

As usual, no balls to answer own question, no balls to make a personal stand, and dodging the question and diverting the qn to someone else. You pls read properly the original comment before questioning.

Hahaha, seems like Anon Me thinks every poster here is “angry”. Anon Me, what makes you think posters here are angry? Your conjecture?

My view is that the only person angry here is YOU Anon Me, your wonderful world of Genneva has collapsed, your 4 g-strings stripped off and now your naked butt sticking in air, head buried in sand.

You are using smileys and questions to disguise your pent up frustrations that all you said previously in this blog (and elsewhere) have been proven to be utter rubbish and strictly only your own CONJECTURES!!

====

Note all readers, this was what Anon Me posted with regards to buyers of Genneva Gold:

1. Are they aware of & do they fully understand the discretionery clause?

2. Do they have gold in hand if they buy?

3. Are they buying within their limits and comfortable with the dollar value premium they pay for the gold?

4. Do they know their risk profile?

All things considered (together with all the info from the internet), decide. YOUR MONEY, YOUR CHOICE.

After considering all the warnings signs (as listed in this blog, the media, the government and etc) and all the negative feedback, would a wise person still want to invest his hard earn money in this scheme? . Just like would a shop owner hire someone with dodgy background to be his cashier? In the end, It is up to you (the investor) to decide .

Pls note Anon Me’s key words towards the end – YOU MONEY, YOUR CHOICE.

CRAZY DEPOSIT TAKING

You pay 100 units for gold. With 25% premium, the gold cost 80 units and markup is 20 units. After buying gold, GENNEVA got only 20 units left to invest. Pay hibah 3 units, consultant 0.5 units, upline 0.3 units, TOTAL 3.8 units per MTH or 45.6 units per annum. So with 20 units net cash holding GENNEVA must earn ROI of 45.6/20. x 100 = 228% pa just to cover these items !!! What about profit and admin overheads etc?
So how to sustain the operation? Here’s how:

1. They do not need capital, in fact the total paid up capital of GENNEVA M’SIA SDN BHD is only RM50,000 ! Unbelievable when they do billion RM business. Investor must pay up front for purchase and GENNEVA use part of you money to buy the gold. That is why you wait and wait for your gold.

2. They must keep on growing and growing the members to build up the PONZI Pyramid exponentially so that all the new investors money, only the 20 unit part, is used to pay the old investors’ hibah, etc.

3. Every now and then they do sleight of hand to pass you some own branded GENNEVA or SAMUDRA gold, maybe fake gold coated tungsten fools’ gold.

4. They make you play musical chairs game to wait and wait after you paid, maybe for old Buyer’s gold being sold back, or gold being handed in for inspection during rollover. So they did not back every Buyer’s order with real gold but just pass the same piece round and round. Some say only 50% backed, some say 70% back. Whatever, they are playing you for fools.

5. When you sell back, they make you wait and wait and worry like mad for your money!

6. The consultants say hibah and buy back at original price guaranteed BUT in writing they say these are “discretionary” — in the SALE agreement, in the signed acknowledgement form, and in the news ads in the papers. If They fail or refuse to pay you hibah or to buy back, you cannot even sue them.

7. When the pyramid stops growing and there are more sell back than buying in, it is time for their exit strategy. By this time they have a lot of cash in their pockets — your money. They
may just abandon the company like in S’PORE, never send lawyer to fight the court case, OR they may secretly arrange for BANK NEGARA, Police etc to raid Them, then they ask every one to blame the GOVT for spoiling the party. When this happens, they already hide all the money and gold overseas!!!!

NOT MUCH HOPE TO GET BACK ANYTHING FROM THEM.
DO NOT EVER LISTEN TO THAT ONE CALLED ANON ME. HE WILL LEAD YOU TO FINANCIAL RUIN.”

Lessons from the past

Meanwhile, it may be useful to study the case of the Swisscash investment programme, an Internet-based scam that drew civil action by the Securities Commission (SC) in 2007. But before that, Swisscash-related websites had been flagged by the SC as unauthorised investment websites.

In September 2006, the SC and Bank Negara issued a joint press release to warn Malaysians against investing in the Swisscash programme, which claimed to have invested in equities, commodities and foreign exchange, and offered returns of up to 300% within 15 months of investment.

To stop the defendants from holding out as fund managers and investment advisers without a licence, the SC filed a civil suit in June 2007 against three Malaysians and four companies controlled by one of the three individuals.

The regulator also obtained a worldwide injunction to prevent the Swisscash operators from disposing their assets, and to compel them to disclose details of their assets, companies and bank accounts.

In September the following year, the SC obtained judgment against the defendants in the amount of US$83mil and such further amounts as may be traced for payment.

A November 2009 settlement between the SC and two Malaysian defendants paved the way for the compensation of Swisscash investors, using the eligibility and payment criteria and payment ratio approved by the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

These criteria were recommended by the SC and PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Services Sdn Bhd, the Administrator appointed by the SC to manage the restitution from a pool of funds amounting to RM32.7mil.

One criterion was whether the investor was actively involved in recruiting others, in which case he was considered as abetting the scheme. “ANY INVESTOR WHO WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME AS A RECRUITER OR AN UPLINER WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO CLAIM HIS MONEY BACK,” says the SC in its website.

The Administrator received 22,780 claims, totalling approximately RM188mil, from Malaysian and foreign investors.

According to the SC’s Annual Report 2010, RM30.53mil was paid to 19,625 eligible claimants. The payout rate was 20 sen to the ringgit. By the end of 2010, the Administrator had effected restitution to 99.1% of the total eligible claims.

Considering these numbers, the Swisscash case is not exactly a source of comfort and optimism for the Genneva Malaysia consultants and customers. The SC’s actions here show that it’s a long, hard road towards getting back money albeit merely 20% of the original sum invested in a too-good-to-be-true scheme.

Swisscash ought to be a cautionary tale about the need to truly be sure about the transparency and regulatory aspects of an investment scheme. Sadly, not many people see it that way.

Those involved in Genneva Malaysia are likely to say their case is completely different. Let’s hope they are right.

Folks, read more on “What’s next for Genneva Malaysia?” dated 13/10/12 here: http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2012%2F10%2F13%2Fbusiness%2F12167213&sec=business

Interesting Points from the Latest statement from BNM dated 10/10/12 :-

# Schemes are believed to be NOT SUSTAINABLE to provide the promised high MONTHLY RETURNS, nor would they be able to provide the BUY BACK GUARANTEE of gold.

# The returns promised are NOT FUNDED through gold trading, but from the MONIES INVESTED into such schemes.

# The amount of ASSETS & MONIES held by these companies DO NOT COMMENSURATE with the amount collected from their investors.

# Prior to the joint raid these companies have DELAYED IN RETURNING gold or money to the investors within the stipulated time AS PROMISED.

Folks, I was approached early last year but have declined the offer to invest with this goldco. My reason the returns are too good to be true. Rule of Thump – Something too good to be true, I bet it’s a scam!

From the above statement by BNM, I do believe there will be not enough gold left to distribute fairly amongst those waiting for theirs’.

Folks, something to share from http://theangryinvestor.blogspot.com/

What the newspapers didn’t mention on Genneva -> Financial Ruin for some.

Along the way, I tried to advise against putting money in, and I was cursed, ridiculed, and jeered at. Which is pretty normal for the “returns being given” phase of any Ponzi scheme.
Anyhow, the newspapers only mentioned that investors will lose a source of monthly revenue, and also that they stand to lose the 20%-30% markup they paid for their purchased gold.

So, someone who had RM1,000,000 in the bank, and bought RM800,000 worth of gold with it stands to lose RM200,000, right? Not good, but still survivable, right? Not for some.

For some, the scenario is much MUCH worse, thanks to many Genneva clients taking stupid advice from the Genneva agents to “leverage” their income. Because the suggested method was through Islamic Banking quasi loans with the gold as collateral. Let me give an example of what happens using the same above ex-millionaire.

Bob starts with RM1,000,000.
He goes to Genneva, pays RM1m, gets 800k worth of gold. Genneva promises him an income stream of 2% ie RM20k per month. They promise to buy the gold back at RM1m upon maturity.

NOW, under his agent’s advice, he goes to Al-Rajhi bank and gets an “Islamic loan”, which is similiar to a normal loan but with worse terms. Basically, they take the 800k worth of gold as collateral, and give him 75% on it, RM600,000. BUT, the interest (they call it a protection fee for storing the gold) is based on the 800k, and they charge 1% per month!

So, now Bob has RM600k in his pocket, 600k debt, and 800k being held as collateral.
The 800k is an asset, but a quasi asset, as people who have failed to service their loans would know!

He also has a promise from Genneva that they will buy his 800k gold for RM1m.
He also has incoming 20k per month from Genneva and -8k a month from Al-Rajhi. Sounds good so far, right?

So Bob follows his agent’s advice and further “leverages” himself.
He goes to Genneva, gives them 600k, and gets back 480k worth of gold.
He goes to Al-Rajhi (AR) and gives gold, gets 360k.

Current Status:
360k in pocket, 960k debt, 1280k gold held as collateral (gc) and an option to sell the gold back (goldoption) for RM1.6m.
Income stream 32k Genneva, -12.8k Al Rajhi.

He does it again.
-RM360k, + 288k gold.
-288k gold, + RM216k.

Status:
RM216 pocket, RM1.176m debt, 1.568m gc, goldoption 1.96m.
Income 39.8k Genneva, -15.68k AR

Let’s stop here even though this could continue a few more rounds.

Anyhow, *IF* Genneva honors the agreement, at the end of 1 year, Bob redeems everything, and his status is now:
1960k (since he sells the gold, the 1.568m no longer comes into play)+216k-1176k +(39.8k x 12) – (15.68k x 12)
=RM 1m (his initial bank account) +477.6k -188.16k (the income streams)
=RM 1,289,440.
Bob makes a nice 29% profit in one year! He is happy!

BUT
If Genneva does not honor the agreement? For example, if the company ceased operations? Bob’s status BEFORE HE GOES TO REDEEM HIS GOLD FROM AR is:

216k – (15.68k x 12) (he has had to pay AR the monthly interest/ protection fee still!)

= 27.84k in his pocket!

And now, there are 2 possibilities at this point, actually. Cause in case you didn’t notice, Bob only has RM27.84k in his pocket, and his debt is RM1176k. He can’t get back his collateral unless he finds someone to lend him the money to get back his collateral!

Case A, someone lends the money to Bob:
Bob redeems his loan, get’s back his gold.
Bob now has 27.84k in his pocket, RM1.176k debt to whoever gave him this new loan, and he has RM1.568k worth of gold.
He now has to figure out what to do with that gold!
If he manages to sell it for RM1.568k, his situation is not so bad…. that means that after squaring his debt, he now has 1568-1176+27.84= 419.84k. This is a pretty bad drop, from RM1m, but Bob can still survive it.

However, if gold price has dropped, OR if he can only sell his gold for a lower price (VERY likely, gold shops and banks and other people who buy gold will take their share of the profit), Bob will lose even more. If he loses 10% when selling the gold, he now has 263k. If he loses 20%, he only has RM106k. Bob is now looking at some VERY serious lifestyle changes if he lost 90% of his savings.

How about Case B, where Bob cannot get anyone to lend him money?

Well, his situation is then that he has 27,84k in his pocket, and he’s completely at the mercy of Al-Rajhi bank! I have no idea what happens in the case of default in this scenario, I need an expert in Islamic Banking Syariah law to explain this scenario to me.
But as far as I know, AR is still holding onto the gold, and therefore they are still charging him 15,680 per month as protection money, so AFAIK, Bob goes bankrupt in 2 months…

And don’t get me started on the people who didn’t have RM1m in the first place, like Bob above.
I’ve heard of plenty of people who took out loans to buy their initial “investment” in the first place… those people are now in EVEN WORSE TROUBLE than Bob in scenario B… they are ALREADY bankrupt, and have loan payments that they CANNOT MEET.

Makes the 20%-30% losses described in the newspaper look absolutely pleasant by comparison, doesn’t it?

Anon Me sadomasochistic proven at the both ends of Anon Me’s orifices:

Instead of posting repetitive nonsense and worrying whether others are angry or not by your posts , ANSWER these questions:

If Genneva is a legit company:

1. Why did they fail to comply with the rules and not submit the necessary statutory docs?

2. Why did they not act fast and clear their own name when they first got listed under BNM’s alert list?

3. Why did they list themselves as a trading company and yet sell their product like investment? They even call their clients investors. Shouldn’t they call them customers?

4. Why did Genneva S’pore also got raided at the same time? If BNM made a mistake or acting like bully, are you saying S’pore’s authorities are also making a mistake and bullying their citizens?

If Genneva really have a legitimate secret formula to generate such high returns:

1. Why did they not establish themselves as an investment company first?

2. Why did they not set up their company in Wall Street first? Surely they can make more money there, right?

3. Why do they need to operate like MLM and ask their customers to ‘recruit’ new customers? If their formula is so good, then they would have been famous even just by word of mouth. No need to spend more money paying incentive to the ‘consultants’. Ever heard Warren Buffet setting up a company and recruit like MLM?

4. Why operate from a shop lot in Kuchai Lama? Can’t they afford to rent an office in the Twin Towers? After all they are dealing with gold, right? A more prestigious address can only help boost the image right?

5. Why target all the aunties and uncles as clients? Should they not target the banks and financial institutions? Surely banks and financial institutions have way more capital to invest and make more money in a shorter period of time. Shouldn’t they at least have a corporate arm to sell to corporate clients? Surely companies want to make money too, right?

Anon Me is also blind – can’t see the water in the kettle at its boiling point.

Anon Me’s game – to provoke to get a response by persistant denial, posting ambiguous non-committal questions (for clarification’elaboration??), insulting, names calling, insinulating and in return:

In a rare show of joint action, both Bank Negara, Malaysian police and Singapore Commercial Affairs Department raided Genneva offices in both Singapore and Malaysia. I wonder if they actually coordinated this together, but it will be good if they work together to quickly to investigate.

Apparently, the Malaysian newspaper reported that several people gathered outside the firm office to protest against the raid. They claimed that this firm has helped the livelihood of thousands of people, which is questionable.

If anybody benefited it was probably the redirecting of the money of investors to the agents who made fat commissions out of selling gold to unsuspecting investors under the scheme. Of course they would protest as they made tons of money from the scheme, but how about the even larger number of people who lost their life savings in this scheme?

According to Business Times, the management discovered “some financial improprieties” (ADD – THIS WAS MENTIONED BY ANON ME@LOWYAT) which led to the delay of payment of commissions and discounts. Apparently the company directors filed police reports as well. All of this looks like a show just to mislead investigators and buy time while hoping that gold prices would be lifted again by QE3. Unfortunately for them, gold prices have yet to rally to previous high and money has probably run out for them.

Apparently 3 of the directors (ADD – Ng Poh Weng, Marcus Yee Yuen Seng, and Chin Wai Leong) are already being sued by Bank Negara for*alleged illegal deposit taking and alleged offences under anti-money laundering laws, one just wonders how they can fly under the radar for so long in Singapore.

The even more ridiculous part is that the directors previously operated under Genneva Sdn Bhd, and because it is under investigation and frozen by Bank Negara, guess what? They set up another company called Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd and continued running the same business. It sounded like they are already making the same transition in Singapore by asking current clients to move their “gold assets” from Genneva Pte Ltd to another company called Genneva World Pte Ltd. So there again, running through legal loopholes, the regulators better do something about it this time or they just open up company after company.

Whatever the outcome is, it will be an interesting case. It is also alarming to note that there are now even more copycat schemes which are operating openly in Singapore and Malaysia. Be smart and recognize the warning signs.

To new readers to this blog, just ignore the posts (usually questions to defend GM1 and GM2 as ethical companies and Anon Me’s personal deep denial after being exposed of being a serial liar) made by resident Troll Anonymous me.

    What, ‘Anon me’ is no longer seeking a date to go with the elaboration & clarification ? What about 1.10.2012 or its abbreviation ten/one? Dr BNM sure did a good job curing Idiot Troll Anon me of date fixation.

    Dr BNM is expected to announce a miraculous breakthrough in the coming weeks in the treatment of Extreme Question Syndrome, a procedure pioneered by Professor Hibah, who retired, coincidentally, on 1.10.2012. Sad, no more hibah after ten/one.

            There are certain person(s) on this blog (including it’s friends) whose comments do not warrant any reply. Please ignore it/them. The more you say, the more “it” is delighted to reply with its usual nonsense.

            It is curious to note that the consultants are so steadfastly defending their company whilst the company has clearly made them look like fools, though they don’t see it yet. There were mere puppets utilised by GM to realise their ambition, puppets lured by money. It was so easy to do so. The sooner the consultants realise they have been exploited to con their friends, family members, and the public, the better. In return for money, they let their morals and principles and common sense be exploited, used and twisted by an unscrupulous company. Some may feel regret. Others can never be redeemed.

            Thank you for your well meaning words. The presence of agent provocateurs here is well documented but 10/1 proved too good an opportunity to give some back. Once again, excuse me for not being fool proof but merely fool tolerant only.

            Yes, the fall of Genneva will soon cause thousands of relationships to be torn asunder ; family, friends, acquaintances. Many naive consultants are also victims, especially those younger ones who joined the last 12 months. I hope they have the sense to personally apologize to family and friends to retain the relationship.

Dear Genneva Customer Support,

Why is all the big hoo-haa from consultants and customers after the BNM raid on 01 Oct at Genneva’s office (and its directors’ residences)?

Didn’t BNM spend so much (of taxpayers) money to put up warning ads of these ‘get-rich-quick’ scheme in the weeks of July 2012 on all major newspaper? It even listed Genneva as one of the 77 (blacklisted) companies before the ads were put up? Didn’t all these acts by BNM raised some the red flags to all of you then? Or just in denial that Genneva wasn’t the one targeted by BNM (as advocated by Anon Me on this blog)?

After months of warning, it is only fair for BNM to take action – otherwise the public will viewed BNM as a toothless tiger. And Genneva will be more brazen to continue these scheme to put public moneys at risks, right?

So, I am (very) curious, was the BNM raid on 01 Oct 2012 comes a a surprise to all Genneva consultants and customers? That’s the price to pay for flirting with GM2.

Sorry to say, but that’s the reality that all Genneva consultants and customers must wake up o. The earlier, the better. Like what LMM says, go back to what you are doing before discovering this ‘gold mine’ (or would I say, an oasis on hindsight) and learn to live within your means. Seriously, one should take that advice seriously. Or another scam out there is going to get you one of these days.. again.

    Dear SOOK FUN,

    The unfortunate fact is that in the case of a criminal investigation by the Commercial Crimes Investigation Dept (CCID) such as in the TGL case, the gold & money involved will be dealt with at the conclusion of the case at the direction of the court. The government may apply to confiscate it all and not return it to victims if the court so rules. As for conspiracy theories, well, this is Malaysia where conspiracies thrive, and courts determine winners & losers more often than not, instead of belatedly doling out justice.

Such act due to police insufficient evidence.

Now don’t tell me he is another bullshitter and not a qualified business consultant……Except you who has succeeded to work all the way to the hill top.

===

Well here is the article, written by a so called Kim Meng from PJ, a “business ConSultant” of “over 18 years experience (?)”:

I HAVE been an entrepreneur and business consultant for over 18 years and have had the chance to study and formulate hundreds of business plans and financial models for various global brand multinational corporations (MNCs), SMEs as well as governments all over the world.
I am also an active investor and have invested my own money in a myriad of investment products and trading systems for over 15 years.
About two-and-a-half years ago, I was introduced to Genneva Malaysia’s business model.
The business model of Genneva is truly revolutionary, innovative and true to its spirit – a blue-ocean business strategy.
These are the same principles that our current Malaysian Government wants us to practise and build on.
The 24% to 36% returns that Genneva Malaysia offers is achievable because its underlying asset is physical gold bullion, plus Genneva Malaysia has an innovative system to generate even greater returns as a company.
Getting a return of +25% per annum with an upside of around +40% is possible with several trading and hedging systems.
It profits from every gram of gold they sell to clients at retail prices. Combined with the increasing price of gold plus with the hedging systems I just indicated, giving 24% to 36% every year is possible.
Genneva Malaysia’s business model is not a ponzi scheme and it’s definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme. Its business model is called a Wealth Sharing Platform, because that is what Genneva truly does. It shares its profit (and wealth) with its clients.
Genneva Malaysia’s biz is the new age biz model.
And what started as a Buatan Malaysia, five years ago, has since grown into one of the leading gold bullion traders across Asia with businesses in Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong and China (where Genneva has a 30-year operating licence in Beijing).
Anything new takes time to understand and lots of resistance to change, especially when there are incumbents whose business will be affected by such change and new models.
We, the customers, are truly grateful there is a Genneva Malaysia.
You may kill Genneva, but another will rise tomorrow with the same proven business model. It’s a matter of time that the banks and financial institutions will need to also adjust and change with the times.

KIM MENG
Petaling Jaya
===

Wealthing Sharing Platform ? Exactly what Anon Me said at Lowyat.

My take – he is like Joe Rodgers and Anon Me – successful bullshitters in in self denial hiding out at a shop lot in Kuchai Lama.

If Genneva is a legit company:

1. Why did they fail to comply with the rules and not submit the necessary statutory docs?

2. Why did they not act fast and clear their own name when they first got listed under BNM’s alert list?

3. Why did they list themselves as a trading company and yet sell their product like investment? They even call their clients investors. Shouldn’t they call them customers?

4. Why did Genneva S’pore also got raided at the same time? If BNM made a mistake or acting like bully, are you saying S’pore’s authorities are also making a mistake and bullying their citizens?

If Genneva really have a legitimate secret formula to generate such high returns:

1. Why did they not establish themselves as an investment company first?

2. Why did they not set up their company in Wall Street first? Surely they can make more money there, right?

3. Why do they need to operate like MLM and ask their customers to ‘recruit’ new customers? If their formula is so good, then they would have been famous even just by word of mouth. No need to spend more money paying incentive to the ‘consultants’. Ever heard Warren Buffet setting up a company and recruit like MLM?

4. Why operate from a shop lot in Kuchai Lama? Can’t they afford to rent an office in the Twin Towers? After all they are dealing with gold, right? A more prestigious address can only help boost the image right?

5. Why target all the aunties and uncles as clients? Should they not target the banks and financial institutions? Surely banks and financial institutions have way more capital to invest and make more money in a shorter period of time. Shouldn’t they at least have a corporate arm to sell to corporate clients? Surely companies want to make money too, right?

Imagine that Genneva has a team of people that can outperform even the best in Wall Street and can reduce Warren Buffet to a footnote. Why hide and pander to retail customers like uncles and aunties only?

Remember the last person who claimed to be able to consistently turn in profit just a tad higher than the Wall Street experts was Bernard Madoff. He’s behind bars now and is charged with running the biggest ever Ponzi scheme uncovered so far. If Genneva is legit, shouldn’t they come clean and prove to the world that they do have the magic formula? If they did this then they would be allowed to resume business and will have more customers than they could handle not only in M’sia but the whole world. Why aren’t they doing that?

    Dear Annoying Me,

    Your valid questions will not be honestly answered by Genneva because the replies will self incriminate these cunning ponzi operators and supporters. They seek to obfuscate facts and hide the truth.

    As for Kim Meng, the self professed investor/business consultant and Genneva customer, he has partaken of the Genneva golden money tree and must have been in an OPiuM induced trance when he wrote his blue ‘funk’ article. If he does exist, he has become the butt of jokes in professional investment circles for his pathologically ill conceived remarks which mirror Genneva’s extravagant claims. I hope his clients, if any, will forgive him for this lapse in judgement. The only probable truth in his narrative is that other ponzi schemes will arise in the future, for history shows it is impossible to eradicate human greed and avarice.

Hi Joe,
1. Kim Meng in the Star
Paragraph 1 : No comment. That is his claimed track record.
2. Paragraph 2 : No comment without details being available.
3. Paragraph 3 : No comment as it is his personal experience.
4. Paragraph 4 : Please look up the meaning of a blue ocean business by going into the yahoo search engine and type in “blue ocean strategy pdf”
Go into the website : http://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/abo/what-is-bos.html
After this, if you still thinks that this guy is a blue ocean strategist, I have nothing to say. Suffice to say that, the pioneer with this scheme is Bestino and here there is so much competition with competitors trying to kill each other. Is this blue ocean?
5. Paragraph 5 : As our MamakKutty said, this is a half past six set-up.
6. Paragraph 6 & 7 : The goldco make a profit of 25% at the time of sale of the gold but this is returned to customer at the end of tenure. To make 24 – 36% of the purchase price, the goldco has to make what PC Wong calculated and not the +25 – 40% mentioned.
7. Paragraph 8 : As mentioned in 6 above, the profit is returned to buyer at the end of tenure. Gold price increase over the past 3 years averaged 25%.
8. Paragraph 9 : Where does the goldco get the money to be used in its Wealth sharing Platform? See item 7. Go back to basics as questioned by Errol Oh the Stars executive editor ” where does the money come from?”.
9. Paragraph 10 : See item 4 and talk to others who had been using this business model.
10. Paragraph 11 : Let us see. Sg also raided on o1/10.2012.
11. Paragraph 12 : If it is truly blue ocean, is this problem going going to be there?
12. Paragraph 13 & 14 : G1, the grandfather had the “parked-in”. G2 no hitch during its terms. G3 is bumi but the ambitious Caesars wants to be the “last goldco standing”. So it kicked its faithful partner down and brought in the PM’s cousin and enjoyed a glorious night with fat mama. Of course there is going to be G4, the sequel as Genneva World is being reeved up to take that role.
Good luck and god bless.
Sorry, I choose my humble abode and being near a gambling den doesn’t appeal to me.

Dear greenhorn,
The appointment of agents under the Direct Sales Regulations comes under the purview of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer affairs. Agents performing their duties are supervised by the Licence holder and all responsibilities is on the shoulders of the licence holder unless it can be proven conclusively that the agent had acted against the licence holder’s instructions. If the outfit does not have a licence and still appoints agents to do their bidding, then the responsibility rest with the outfit and not the agent. Most probably PC Wong can advise better.

The goldco had their closed door meeting yesterday where the con-sultans now form the front line to protect their lifestyle (golf, international schools for the kids,overseas holidays/education, luxury cars, bungelows and gold hoards). At such a meeting I would expect their smart punjabi lawyer to be there to brief their con-sultans on the legal implications but lo and behold, the management/con-sultans are still working on the emotional issues on people like Jinjang Joe.
BNM have listed the areas for their investigation, which are :
1. Illegal deposit taking;
2. Money Laundering;
3. Tax evasion and avoidance;
4. False description including misrepresentation;
5. Appointment of agents without licence;
6. Failure to lodge statutory document.
Why doesn’t the goldco’s lawyer just explain to the con-sultans the implications of these areas of investigation.
To be fair to BNM, they have issue repeated warnings against involvement with organisations in their alert list but the customers led by the con-sultans had been blinded by their greed and lure of easy money. Now, the main players in the goldcos may feel safer in the slammer than outside as there may be a lot of interested parties to recover their money not limited to the customers and con-sultans.
Today’s Star reported con-sultan Mary Irene Ooi, after a briefing by dato’ Kow, saying “Like other goldsmith shops, Genneva is also selling gold but on a different platform, in a scheduled and regulated manner”. Assume this is a UPSR question, true or false and that coming from a con-sultan.
The Star Executive Editor, Errol Oh, had in his write up “A thorough, swift probe of Genneva Malaysia shold end the debat” in the footnote the following : “Executive Errol Oh is still trying to figure out how Genneva Malaysia generate the profits that it shares with its customers”. Well it is part of the secret business model.
The government should set up a welfare scheme for these high powered con-sultans and customers to take care of all their lifestyle needs.

    Dear LMM,

    One of the area of BNM investigation is “Appointment of agents without licence”.

    1) Does this mean GM2 ‘appointed’ Con-Sultan are all operating illegally (i.e. without a license)? If, Yes :-

    2) How do one classified the commission received by the Con-Sultan as they illegally appointed by GM2 (without a license to do so)? Money laundering?

    3) Is there a possibility of BNM investigation be extended to all these Con-Sultan as well?

    4) Will the Con-Sultan’s bank account where all these commission are paid into be frozen as well by BNM to facilitate the investigation?

    5) Is there a real possibility these Con-sultan be charged as well (i.e. abetting with GM2)?

    To be fair to all the victims, these Con-Sultan must be answerable to the law as well – as they are the tentacles of GM2. Earning commission to sustain their golf, international schools for the kids,overseas holidays/education, luxury cars, bungelows and gold hoards at the expense of all these victim is not only illegal, but immoral. I hope the hand of the law is extended to them as well.

    It will be good that all these Con-sultan marched all the way to Putrajaya (as they are planning) to submit themselves to the law. The palace of justice awaits them with an open arm – that we should be assured of, and victims should take comfort of.

    Remember this date – 1.10 2012 – because this is the date of the unraveling of the Genneva house of cards. The date when the Police, BNM, Companies Commission and Ministry of Domestic Trade raided Genneva’s office in Kuchai Lama followed later in the week by raids on other suspected ponzi scheme premises in Kuala Lumpur. The great ponzi crackdown has begun.This month will be known as “Black October'” for ponzi schemes in Malaysia.

KLbull says 11 years ago

This is my first post on this thread made on 13.10 2011 after doing some homework right after an approach made by a friend to get me to buy 1 kg Genneva gold.

‘Stripped down to its skeletal framework, I see Genneva as a ‘deposit taking’ scheme infused with an element of multilevel marketing, using physical gold as a blinder to distract and confuse participants. The deposit is the 25% premium paid upfront to buy physical gold. Focus on the 25% premium and not the gold bars to understand what Genneva is doing.’

There has been nothing since to make me change my mind about Genneva’s modus operandi.You can look at their business model from many different angles but it all boils down to one thing – ponzi scam. Why would slick crafty businessmen start an unsustainable business skirting on the edge of illegalities and doomed to failure? To share wealth & prosperity with complete strangers? What a laugh.

      Yes, I recall the story. There were two sets of rumors. First, GM2 was buying a bank overseas but the deal fell through; then a Malaysian bank was going to buy GM2 for RM1 billion! In hindsight, perhaps they should have hatched a plot to privatize BNM instead and prevented the 1.10.2012 raid!

        Results of “rumors”? Let us refresh back on what had been posted by Sean, LMM & PC Wong on 30 May 2012 (yes, exactly 5 months before the raid): –

        1) From Sean (30/05/2012 at 02:41 – Page 13)
        So much hints or rather light facts on the possible raid on GM2 it’s just becoming overwhelming. However my reason is I think the goldco is getting broke. I am wondering why are they not practicing the discretionary buy back? They have put it on ad did they? Wouldn’t it better than setting up themselves to be raided? Or rather it will have no such implications?

        2) And LMM responded to the above post on 30/05/2012 at 08:54 (Page 13)
        Pro raid (orchastrated)
        1. Goldco can move all money in account and gold out before raid;
        2. The company is only a RM50k paid up with majority bumi shareholders;
        3. The Goldco can still run their international operations from HK and meanwhile plan GM3
        4. Simultaneous raids can be done on competitor(s)

        Con declining buyback
        1. Who would pay the 25% marked up price and and get rewarded with maximum 9% “hibah”? The company/group will be history
        2. the goldco will have to submit their first annual accounts to SSM/company Commissions Malaysia by June 2012 for all interested parties to see and it will make interesting reading. Post raid, goldco can claim that they cannot submit as all documents had been seized by the raiders remember the grandfather goldco which did the Park-In?

        3) And PC Wong added on 30/05/2012 at 09:54 (Page 13)
        Decline buyback :
        (a) GM2 makes only a pittance from the 25% mark-up after lessing out the hibah, the up and up commissions, and the admin costs.
        (b) Not only that, excess buyback over the rollover and new sales means GM2 will become stuck with huge gold inventory for which they have NO CAPITAL to hold, and which can only sell in open market at significant discount to spot price (is this tenable??)

        BNM raid :
        (a) All documents taken away, so cannot and no need to prove any account to buyers.
        (b) Tell all buyers to blame the BNM for messing up GM2′s fantastic business model.
        (c) Take money and any gold stock and run/hide before raid. Didn’t they already do this kind of thing in GM1?? When account books show RM67m BNM only find RM20M.??

        Now all viewers (yes, including you Anon Me), let me ask this question:

        After BNM raid on 01 Oct 2012, aren’t we seeing all these had come to pass? So, for those who had read the above posts, and taken action thereafter are saved – all thanks goes to Sean, LMM & PC Wong (whom Anon Me refers as troll??). I refer to them as experts (am I wrong?).

        For all those who read the above posts, laugh over it and ignore the warning – who is there to blame except yourself (and Anon Me for confusing you with his trolling activities here).

This was a comment made by Richard Chew on the Genneva Support group Facebook site which got deleted within a few minutes. I like to share his comment because I found that he explained the whole Scam very well.

“I can understand all the frustration that is being aired here. And it appears Genneva has been deliverying what they promised but forced to freeze their activities. .

However let me explain my view on the technical flaw in this scheme that warrants BNM to take such drastic action. My intention of giving my view is to help enlightened and hopefully will help many here to ask the right questions and direct it to the right party.

In any trading; there must be willing buyer & seller for a transaction to take place at a price agreeable by both parties. The seller will profit from the transaction and the buyer will receive the goods / service. Very clear cut exchange.

However in this scheme, technically the seller do not ‘realized’ its profit yet from the transaction because there is a contractual obligation that a monthly ‘gift’ of 2-3% is given to the buyer and the buyer has the option to sell back the gold at the original purchased price. In this aspect, the seller’s obligations to the buyer becomes a Liability to the seller. To put it in another words, it is the buyer that will receive the profits rather than the seller in this transaction scheme.

Therefore technically this transaction scheme cannot be deemed as trading because the seller doesn’t profit from the goods sold. If it is not trading then where does this lead to?

My next statement may sound absurd and may anger many of you here but please bear with me. My intention is to explain so we can have better judgement & help us understand why Bank Negara has to step in and take drastic measure.

I am saying this scheme is not trading because it is more inclined to money lending business which must be regulated under our Malaysia law. Yes, I just said it; this Genneva scheme is basically a money lending scheme misrepresented as gold trading scheme.

How can this be? You may say there is a sales purchase agreement and gold transacted then how can this be money lending? If its money lending scheme then who is lending to who?

In this scheme, you are the lender. Genneva is the borrower. You bear the financial risk, in return Genneva pays you the monthly interest as we know it as Hibah. At the end of the loan contract, Genneva returns the money to you. During the contract, you keep the gold bar as your collateral if in the event Genneva fails to pay; you don’t loose the full amount lent to Genneva.

If the deal is purely buy & sell with no contractual obligation; then it is clear curlt trading because seller profits and buyer keep the goods. But if there is a contractual obligations for monthly interest & buy back then it is surely money lending, the gold serves as the collateral; the lender profits and the borrower bears the liability.

This issuance of collateral gold is somewhat similar to companies issuing bonds to raise fund from the public. Bonds are meticulously regulated by Securities Commission & Bank Negara because it has to be secured against the company assets such as properties and etc.

The problem with Genneva is that they are not regulated and when they have more buyers (lenders) they are actually increasing the liabilities of the company while profit is not realized yet.

For a typical trading company, the more customers; the more goods trade out, the more profits realized. Clear cut profit realization. For example RM 1 billion of gold sold would generate certain amount of profit based on the profit margin.

However Genneva’s scheme, the more gold sold the more liability it creates for the company because of the obligations to buy back and pay the monthly gift. Therefore Bank Negara had to step in to ensure things are in order and to prevent it to get out of control. A small complaint would suffice to fuel the urgency for drastic action.

It is harsh but neccesary.”

    Dear Annoying Me (but not very annoying at all),

    Thank you for catching this FB post before it got deleted! This loan scheme model actually closely maps onto GMSB’s operations and it is what I suspected they were doing from the start (having done the calculations). Although I think they don’t realise what they’re doing is basically a poorly thought out “loan scheme”. But this ill conceived “loan scheme” had it’s real purpose, as I outline below, that is, to fill their own pockets. The commission earned by their glorified consultants are mere peanuts compared to what the directors have personally pocketed from this scheme.

    Basically they created a ponzi “loan” scheme thinly disguised as legitimate “gold trading” that spirals downward with every transaction (note that each transaction yields a net loss, simple as that), yet they claim they are making a profit. Even with the increase in global gold price, the math does not add up. Or with speculative forex trading (which is too volatile to be depended on). Hence, we have no choice but to ask, was their actual plan to siphon away the “profit” (aka incoming funds from new sales) all this while, whilst making new customers pay for old customers? No wonder they started getting into trouble once the number of new customers declined and they didn’t have enough cash to both fill their own pockets and finance the buybacks. My guess is the amount of cash in the company’s coffers do not match the amount of deposits placed by customers for their gold. Where is the rest of the money? Hence BNM’s actions.

    Did they think they’d really get away with it? Only upon detailed examination of the accounting records and receipts can this be answered.

    May the truth be known to all. Remember to ask, where is the money?

      1) So, had BNM talked to you? Or had BNM visited your residence on 01 Oct 2012 evening?

      2) As your many kilos of Genneva gold, was it safely tucked away – or taken away by BNM already?

      3) What happened to your team of successful consultants? Still driving BMW or Mercs? And by the way, were they legally appointed by GM2? Because as I know, BNM is investigating GM2 for unlicensed appointment of agent. How now? Are they safe, or need to migrate already before BNM visits them too? What did you advise them? Being a high echelon, you should protect them la.. okay?

Hi Jinjang Joe,
My friend just email me pictures showing con-sultant streaming into the goldbeam office and mentioned that it is for an emergency meeting. Don’t know whether it is to celebrate the acquital of the 3 directors from AMLA & BAFIA charges or to break the sad news of their being found guilty or whether it is to organise the March to Putrajaya. Anyway, they promised to sent me a beat by beat recorded account of the event. I guess you need to rush or you have to be lining the staircase or like me watching from a remote, that is, if you have a brave trustworthy friend like what I have.
Good luck

    If you have no interest in the company why must you also get your “trustworthy” friend to be involved to do unethical things like spying for you……….unless of course there is a motive, i.e. you are actually working for your sweet darling Dato’ Kundi to get inside info so that he can co-operate with BNM to launch the raid and be one step ahead of what GM is doing !!

Dear Farmer Gold,
Thank you for bring to my attention the misconception that I am a supporter of TGG. Please re-read 5th line from the bottom of my posting on 5/10/2012 at 8.30 am UTC 8 which reads :Ha, Ha, Hah! I don’t need any sugar daddy, much less one who is involved with ponzi schemes (note the plural SCHEMES) and TGG is the second scheme that I know dato’ K is involved in. I trade gold and am not ashame to say that I profited tremendously but not participating in any of the goldco using dubious business models. Any inconvenience caused is regreted.

Dear KLBull,

I already have that car. Still looking for another car. You can recommend me a Porshe?

Sometimes having too much of OPM (other people’s money) also headache, don’t know where to spend or what to spend on. I can only blame those stupid investors who willingly pay premium for my GM2 gold, hoping to get the 2% hibah. In doing so they willingly enriched my coffers.

Thanks loyal supporters of GM2 for your loyal patronage. See you all at the march towards Putrajaya. I will sponsor some 100plus isotonic drink for your thirst !

Make sure you return to us when we open GM3 to buy gold from us. As we always promised – we leave behind a legacy for you ! We’ll probably invite the governor of BNM to do the gala opening of GM3 for us.

All warriors of Genneva unite !
===============================

GENNEVA MALAYSIA SDN BHD DID NOTHING WRONG. We are happy and satisfied customers, very grateful to the company for sharing their profits with us since 2010. We have no complaints as we received our dues as promised. GENNEVA is the company we trust to buy gold from with our hard-earned money. 30-odd complaints does not represent the 60,000 of us. Thus, the raid by Bank Negara Malaysia is uncalled for.

FYI, we the customers were informed by GMSB management last week of September that we will get our gold, hibah and commissions this week (1 October onwards). Bank Negara Malaysia raided Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd and froze GMSB’s bank account on 1 October. More than 60,000 livelihoods and families are affected.

Genneva Malaysia Supporters will be organizing a MARCH TO PUTRAJAYA to visit the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak if no concrete solution is forthcoming by the end of two weeks, as stipulated by BNM to complete their investigation.

We will inform you of the date, time and venue to assemble by 15 October 2012. We are fully aware how the authorities drag their feet. They dragged their feet for FOUR YEARS as happened to Genneva Sdn Bhd (GSB) in 2009 on mere suspicion of illegal deposit taking and money laundering. The court case is still ongoing.

We will not tolerate further delays. We have families to feed, housing and car loans, children’s education and medical bills to pay, just to name a few.

OUR DEMANDS:

1. Gold confiscated by Bank Negara Malaysia to be returned to Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd (GMSB) immediately for delivery to us.

2. Unfreeze GMSB bank accounts immediately as Hibah and commissions to over 60,000 customers are due.

3. Stop attacking, persecuting and tarnishing Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd in the media on assumptions and suspicions without evidence.

4. Remove the good name of Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd from the BNM Financial Consumer Alert List as gold trading is an unregulated industry in Malaysia.

5. Acquit Genneva Sdn Bhd. This court case has been ongoing since 2009 and being used by competitors tarnish Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

More to follow. Meantime, LIKE http://www.facebook.com/GennevaMalaysiaSupporters for updates.

========

Pls note that myself, Anon Me, Liang Chi, zhiau lung, Joe Rodgers, Nasi Kandair, Nichelle, WarriorOfGenneva, Pat Lu, kuni, and the rest of 60,000 supporters will be marching towards Putrajaya to demand justice. You good guys can march while myself and Anon Me will be sitting comfortably in our new shining BMW, fully paid for from your kind purchase of gold from us.

We demand JUSTICE!

Dear Jinjang Joe,
In business, it is just like in love, you have to choose who you sleep with because all your innermost secrets are shared. Remember, divorves are always messy and huge almonies have to be paid. If you are not willing to pay the price, and go for marriage of convenience, this is the kind of rewards you will reap. Why the dato’ is “good”? He had done nothing wrong except to trust the bunch of opportunists who wants to wring him dry and then take over what he had helped to built. Pray, tell me what wrong he had done to deserve to be demoted except to made way for someone who is related to the PM and whom the opportunists think can help them to become the “last goldco standing”. He is one shareholder who earns his keep by building up the goldco’s Maju Junction business. Who are you to tell the good dato’ who he wants to have as his partner. Does he tell you who you should choose to be your sleeping partner?
Ha Ha Hah! I don’t need any sugar daddy much less one who is involved with ponzi schemes. Last month my portfolio in gold already appreciated by more than 10% whereas you are having nightmares figuring out how to maintain you lifestyle and golden rice bowl. Ha Ha Ha. Time to line up at Kuchai Maju and prepare for the “March to Putrajaya”

Also just for the record the Starwalk sponsorship is paid for by the CON-SULTANTS and not the goldco. The goldco is a cheapskate using other people money for its own program. Maybe they are really hard-up.

Both goldcos use the same/similar business models which is not sustainable. TGG learn its trade from its master GM and the upstart is now upstaging its “guru” with the help of the good dato’ K who was unceremonially demoted by GM.
Are you such a Jinjang Joe to forget that it is my inslienable right to freedom of expression as long as it is not seditious and using the term fat lady or fat mama is not seditious.
Pls list code of conduct of a lady. Come on, Jinjang Joe, when we fight for equality, we mean it. What is your big concern?
Hey, you really prove yourself to be Jinjang Joe by not knowing that with modern gadgets one can hear/see the full proceedings of the meeting. Of course your masters, the generals, forbid such recordings on pain of dismissal but my many loyal friends couldn’t care less. Anyway, the good dato’ K is the majority shareholder, and that is the reason, GMSB clssified itself as a “Bumi” company. Just look at the shareholders lah from the SSM search. I know money is hard to come by without the commission cheque, but the SSM search only cost RM13.

Dear Genneva Warriors,
You all are such a naive bunch obsessed with your golden ricebowl that you don’t even care to carry out any background research. In all the meetings you had been led by the nose by the cow and the spinner. Your goldcos problems were self made by the ambitious goldco higher echelon (in PC Wong’s terminology field marshalls and generals)including but not limited to the datos’.
I am sure all of you remember a certain Dato’ K who used to to be the majority shareholder and chairman of the goldco. He was the one who fought for the syariah platform and provided the goldco with the bumiputra status.
However, in a moment of extreme ungratefulness, the goldco “demoted” a partner to deputy chairman due to its ambition to be the “last goldco standing” and replace him with the PM’s cousin, who, well, managed to bring the fat lady to the annual dinner. What a coup.
The consequences? LST of TGG took him and use his talents to built bridges.
All of you now have to do the “March to Putrajaya”. Do enjoy your outing as most of you seems to lack the exercise.
Remember, once I read a posting in this blog that the poster had the opportunity to meet with Dato K and ask him whether a certain event told by the spinner is going to come about and the good Dato’ response was to the effect “kamu ingat saya PM-ke” and that summerise his frustration because of the tall orders imposed on him by the goldco. The general philosophy of the goldco is the 5 Fs “Find,feed, feel, finger and forget”

If you did not go, don’t worry, we know you are prone to telling lies, we’ll forgive you.

So what is it?
1) Did not go (lying you went)
2) Went to the wrong place.
3) Went to the right place, but dodging here and there and refused to let Liang Chi know the address.

Dear me, Dear me,
What happened to my golden rice bowl. Customers are secondary, my ricebowl more important as I need it for my life style living. Looks like this is the battle cry of the goldco warriors, the likes of Fat Mama, Sheerin Lim, Ex-Gold Label Fat lady, Lady cow, lady spinner, Tourism Minister’s personal secretary, et el.
Don’t worry lah. The deputy finance minister who gave a miss to open your office early this year is reported by the Chinese media to be taking up your cause and find relief for you. Unfortunately, PM’s cousin not convenient to help but Princess whom you all had dinner with recently is doing her utmost trying to pull the cables here and there. Watch for development.

Dear All,
History of goldoc raided by the authorities on China National Day.

June 2009 : launched Samudra Sdn. Bhd. (G2)
21/07/2009 : Raided by BNM same time as EtikaMas. Operated a “Parked -in” scheme whereby the customers paid for and park the gold with the goldco. At time of raid as reported by STAR, the company’s frozen account has RM20 million plus 5 kg gold. The goldco had collected “parked – in” fund in excess of RM67 million.
September 2009 : Samudra Sdn. Bhd. (G2)started operation;
15/12/2010 : Launched the Syariah program under Genneva Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (Ex Dimensi Sentosa)
April/May 2011 : All SGV accounts were compulsorily transferred to GMSB;

Early 2012 : goldco’s Sg branch stopped paying consultants’ commission;
Mid 2012 : goldco Sg run the SKR (Safekeeping Receipt) scheme paying 4.5% discount but without gold (similar to G1 Parked in scheme) netting nearly S$50 million. Quietly launched Genneva World

I am upset why is BNM put all gold traders even the ones without schemes on their Illegal list and leave out TGG on purpose. I think BNM has taken some discount without having to buy any gold from TGG. And my question to the consultants and the directors of Genneva, what are you all going to do about it or just let it be ? Or like what the other forumer said, just let us all perish into BNM injustice ?

Hello Anonymous aka divorcee, teehee, unrequited love,troll etc. Are you shivering now that the authorities have raided your offices?

(1) It could be a fake/farce raid – just for show -then they say all clean. go back to business. and then everyone shouts hooray..i told you so not to worry! Just like those council people raiding pirated cds. this is possible if there ae some top people including politicians on the take or directly behind a ponzi scheme.

(2) it could be real, well, at least by the junior officers but the puppeteer are still the conspirators from behind – also just for show.

(3) it could be real, very real raids but genneva is not afraid – they say they have this and that licence etc and they shout: come forward anyone who has sustained losses! None!

Why none?

Because they are still casting their nets lah – 80,000 members is not enough. more are welcomed. same with bernie madoff- the ponzi scheme went on for more than 10 years – they even roped in professors, doctors, actors, politcians – you name it – they show you all documents, financial statements – but in the end all worthless!

So all those reasoning like 20% mark up, 2% monthly, exchangeable gold wafer blah blah – looks good until the last few batches of poor fish got caught and then the ponzi scheme collapses ..but then too late.

So if the raid is genuine, it is good before more damage is done! are you going to jump down from the cliff or have you already covered your investment from the fat profits and commissions you have milked from others?

      Oh oh oh! Anonymous me and Nichelle – friends or one and the same nick ah?! hey i hit the nailon the head right so you have nothing to say! hahahah! The recent raid actually is giving genneva gold FREE publicity as the customers automatically tell the public via the newspapers etc that they earn so much. one doctor even earned RM8,000 per month! The sad, sad thing is these are the early crops who are enjoying huge profits at the expense of the latecomers! kakakak!Just like the show: breaking the magician’s code – the magic’s biggest secrets finally REVEALED!!!!

        Free publicity — you are right. Thanks to the media and BNM for giving the gold co instant recognition world wide. Otherwise the consultants have to talk until the cows come home just to get people to understand what company is it.

        Whose words are more powerful?
        The words/testimonials coming direct from more than 60 thousand satisfied customers OR the smelly and filthy words coming out from just the few of you TROLLS here with unwashed mouth and unbrushed teeth?

          that’s why only smart people like me can see through the possible scam by genneva to stir up trouble – just like how usa keeps on provoking china and north korea and when north korea slams a nuclear bomb, usa comes whacking others to hell. so it is very possible thatthe current raids could be a scam too…to scare the daylights out of the investors who tell the media how much they made. so nichelle – you think this is right? sure, the firstfew batches will make lots of money and they are happy – just like bernie madoff’s ponzi scheme but what about the other victims?

          you forgot one immoral thing – those who vouch success, those likeyou who say genneva is so good may have forgotten the fate of the late comers who may well lose everything when you people have made back your investment with a neat profit.

          so isn’t this immoral and aren’t you part of the scam too??!..well if it is proven to be a ponzi scheme.

I ve done some calculations on this investment. With the annual return of 24% and i invest 500k now, i will have 300million within 30 years(provided you re-invest all you return). That will be approx equivalent to 115m today (assuming yearly inflation of 4%). My son of 1year old now would be a multi millionaire by 30 yrs old. I think i better sell my house to invest now. If Geneva dont go bust in 30 years, maybe Malaysia and Singapore will become countries with most millionaires by then.

Will the management and “warriors” of Genneva challenge BNM on why they do not lists Gold Guarantee in the illegal list? MAS already put them in the alert list, of corse MAS is almost impossible to bribe.

      Does that means the superiority of Genneva is no better than a 30+ year old Singaporean guy who runs a goldco in KL?

      All that chanting in front of the Genneva office by the warriors are absolutely bunch of pointless crap!

      Chong AJ, if Phillip Lim and the Penang lembu willing to part some of their wealth made from the sweat of the warriors, offer it to BNM behind closed doors, all you warriors will be celebrating 2013 Award night next year. I believe TGG Lee Siong Teck could have done that. That’s why you don’t see them in the forbidden list.

      Seriously I am very curious to know at this juncture will the management of Genneva make a stand with BNM on why didn’t they lists Gold Guarantee whereby they have put all gold traders in the ILLEGAL status and struck on a goldco which their beloved consultants claims the company is not in the wrong.

      Will the pitiful consultants just perish into injustice by BNM?

I saw the latest BNM’s list of so called “illegal” companies, all gold trading companies are in even Public Gold, a company doing legitamate buy & sell without any schemes for 7 years also being put up. I am very curious that why BNM did not put up TGG in the list? Is it TGG boss ‘ada bayar duit’ while others ‘tak bayar duit’?

    Magagula says 11 years ago

    The duit covered the company name, so accidentally missed out from the list.
    So sorry, will update in the next list.

    Why when you mention “illegal” companies, the word illegal need to put in inverted commas? Is it for real BNM’s list mentioned it is illegal? Or you just seek to mislead?
