Re: Polish-registered recyclix.com is a Ponzi scheme and provably so.

Roman Parra, a Colombian man behind the now-defunct Bitcoin exchange, Colbitex, was proven back in September to be intimately connected to this operation, the below image showing that back in the early days of Recyclix he was sending out the fiat payments to users from his own paypal account:

It looks like this "Polish-registered" Ponzi scheme is not so Polish
Polish newspaper that publish about them, claim that is only one owner of this company, and it is citizen of Latvia. Unfortunately not give his name nor surname.
Latvia is a known offshore haven... could be that Mr. Parra has a shell company in Latvia that owns Recyclix in Poland, or some such scheme. Although a stolen identity or a co-conspirator is also a possibility.
Judging by Roman Parra's previous history of involvement with other scammy operations it would suggest his participation in the early days of Recyclix, in sending out the payments from a paypal account registered to his personal email address, he is either part of a core group likely involving 'Eastern European'/Russian criminals, or, even if he were to claim he was 'only' paid to process the money on their behalf, is likely to have incriminating evidence and an electronic trail the authorities could use against them.
I'm still betting he's the originator of the idea, even if criminals from other countries were involved. His background is industrial processes and fucking marketing, of all things! Plus he already had tried a 'green' collective investment 'scheme' supposedly planting trees, so plastics recycling just seems to have been a natural step up from that.
