Coinspace
Unregulated digital currencies are the perfect foundation to build a Ponzi scheme on. New confusing ways to store money are a great way to bilk new investors that want to cash in on the next Bitcoin. With the recent raid of UFUN and the shutdown of GemCoin as highlights, digital currencies have become a common component of online scams. My subscribers have requested I take a look into Coinspace. Here is what I have found.

Coinspace Review: Their Reality

Jerry was involved with a MLM health and wellness scam calling LiveSmart 360 before he created Coinspace.
Here is a picture of Jerry Plesko and his wife Maja Rejec when he was a representative for the LiveSmart 360 MLM.

The Coinspace scam is similar to the OneCoin scam. They are selling packages which generate coins that can in the future become valuable. After you buy a package, you recruit your friends and family to do the same thing. They run this scam this way so that they can say that they are not an investment. You are not investing, but buying digital coin mining.
They claim in their compensation plan that there is minimal risk in purchasing from them because of the following:
We guarantee minimal risk and maximum security due to the exclusivity of the S-coin in its pre-launch form. We guarantee you its value by mining several cryptocurrencies already on the market. We also took the precaution of making sure the S-coin will not drop under a certain coin value. We will be able to do that by having a backup of the coin. How? We will let that piece of information remain our confidential business secret until the S-coin’s official launch.
In their income disclosure the story it a lot different: “Mining cryptocurrencies carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone.”
Coinspace Ltd. is not licensed or authorized to conduct investment service business by the Malta Financial Services Authority.
MFSA Coinspace Ltd. Warning

The public should also be aware that any investment opportunities promoted by Coinspace Ltd. are likely to be of a risky nature with a high risk of loss of money. – Source MFSA
Coinspace claims to handle the mining process that generates valuable coins. This is just the smoke and mirrors that allows them to control the money that enters this Ponzi scheme and when it is released to old investors. With Coinspace 75% of the recruiting commission paid out a is withdrawable, the remaining 25% must be reinvested.
There is no proof that they are generating a profit from the mining they claim to be doing.
This company is using the popularity of Bitcoin to get people to purchase mining packages that have no verifiable proof that they are generating income. This is a Ponzi scheme that includes recruiting and MLM to maximize the amount of people that are brought into this scam.

Coinspace Review Conclusion
In my opinion, Coinspace is a Ponzi scheme that is linked with a pyramid recruiting scheme disguised as a new digital currency. They use the history of the increasing value of bitcoins to sucker you into their scam. Each individual who profits does so primarily from the payments of others who are themselves making payments in order to obtain their own profit. The owner of this scam has a history of promoting MLM scams. MFSA has issued a warning about Coinspace offering an investment. Avoid the Coinspace scam.
Be careful! The owner of CoinSpace is Jonathan Speigner who is previous owner of Litetree.com who defrauded a ton of people including myself who purchased 47 litecoins in 2014. The site disappeared in 2016 and Jonathan now will do the same with Coinspace so watch out. I have contacted IC3, FBI, his local attorney general in Georgia so I am on it.
The Italian CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa) or Italian Securities and Exchange Commission has halted coinspace1. com sales activities, a website which has been promoting the Coinspace Ltd. Coinspace scam in Italy.
The Coinspace scam is similar to the OneCoin scam. They are selling packages which generate coins that can in the future become valuable. After you buy a package, you recruit your friends and family to do the same thing. They run this scam this way so that they can say that they are not an investment. You are not investing, but buying digital coin mining.
Here are the details of why the Coinspace scam has been halted:
THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR COMPANIES AND STOCK EXCHANGE

– The purchaser of the ” extraction packages ” is given the option to earn a profit of 50%, reselling periodically Coinspace Ltd. the ” coins ” which he owns. Specifically, ” Every 14, and 28, the month the members are paid a fixed sum (if the members decide to sell the coins back to the company for a fixed guaranteed price of € 0.50 per coin). […] By selling the S-Coin coins back to the company in due time you can earn up to 50% profit within a year mining contract with Coinspace “;
– Some of the ” extraction packs ” also include the ability to ” earn every day even without extraction thanks to ‘”, ” offered project actions ” that grant the right to participate in the profits that will be made by Coinspace Ltd. ” after launch S-coin “, conceived by cryptocurrency Coinspace Ltd., currently waiting to be placed on the market;
– It is also given the option to purchase a limited number of ” packages ” of type ” Co-Founder ” that allow you to receive a ” 3% market share by total annual earnings of Coinspace “;
Noting, therefore, that the purchase of ” extraction packages cryptocurrency ” – explicitly presented as ” income opportunities ” – means that the buyer uses their own capital in order to achieve a consistent performance in a profit paid periodically by the company, connected with assumption of the risk related to the use of the capital entrusted to it;

Noting that, in relation to the offer described, is not being published its prospectus;
CONSIDERING, therefore, that there is a reasonable suspicion about the conduct of its advertising activity for public offer of financial products in violation of the privacy law, and that that activity is still in progress;
CONSIDERING art. 101, paragraph 4, letter. b) of the FCA, which provides that Consob may, in cases of justified suspicion of violation of the provisions on advertising activities, ” temporarily suspend for a period not exceeding ninety days, the further spread of advertising relating to an offer concerning products other than those referred to in subparagraph a) [the Community financial instruments, ed] “;
