Close observers of the Banners Broker HYIP Ponzi scam might have already noticed that the website is not reachable for the past 3 days. The official claim posted by Banners Broker was that the hosting provider has some problems and it will take up to 48 hours to be back online. Some time later they posted a new message, claiming that they don’t want to cooperate with their hosting provider any longer and switching to another provider. The given time frame for the downtime was up to 48 hours. Now Banners Broker is not reachable at all for well over 12 hours already.
The domain is currently pointing to the IP “50.116.55.17? which belongs to “Linode“, a US hosting company which is offering so called “Virtual Private Servers”. Meanwhile I have received an email from some person who claims to have insider information on Banners Broker. According to him the Banners Broker website will not come back because the plug has been pulled, they ran out of money and the game is over.
It will have to be seen how much truth in this message is. With the claims that they ran out of money he is definitely right. The situation is getting worse and worse over there in the world of clouds and mirrors. To me it is still unbelievable how so much people still can believe all the stories Banners Broker is telling them. It is getting more and more obvious and oh so easy to realize what Banners Broker is: A nicely set up Ponzi scheme and no real business! If Banners Broker would be a multi million dollar company, which they claim to be, they would for sure not have that much trouble all the time to get their website staying online, they would not have lost their Mastercard program, they would not have to work with shady payment processors and they would of course take legal action against all the negative press on the Internet.
But they don’t do it, because they can’t. They can not do any legal action because they are not real. In fact authorities are already looking into the scheme for themselves. I am really looking forward to the time when Simon Stepsys, Mark Stokes, and how all their big cheerleaders are called, will face some investigation and hopefully get sued. It will open the eyes of a lot of people.
I also hope that Rajiv Dixit and his friends will finally get into prison, loosing the chance to start a third Ponzi scheme. These guys are really not unknown to authorities!
