Telexfree (stylized as TelexFREE), a trade name owned by Telexfree Inc., was a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme disguised as an internet phone service company. Prosecutors have described it as the largest fraud of all time in terms of the number of people affected - more than 1 million, with victims in various countries. The brand became best known for its operations in Brazil held by Ympactus Comercial Ltda after it was involved in an ongoing investigation and trial for operating a Ponzi scheme, and later for having its operations suspended in the US by SEC under the charges of operating a multibillion-dollar Ponzi and pyramid scheme.

  • Telexfree (TelexFREE), är en bifirma och/eller ett varumärke ägt av Telexfree Inc. Det var/är ett pyramidspelsbedrägeri med miljardomsättning förklätt till tjänsteföretag inom IT telefoni. Pyramidspelsverksamheten inom Telexfree blev först uppmärksammat i Brasilien 2013 i samband med en utredning om bedrägeri genom det associerade företaget Ympactus Comercial Ltda. Operationerna i Brasilien är enligt Brasiliens justiedepartement det största finansiella bedrägeriet i Brasiliens historia. Dessutom har åklagare beskrivit det som det största bedrägeriet genom tiderna räknat efter hur många som drabbats, mer än en miljon. Förutom i Brasilien har Telexfree också haft verksamhet i USA, Colombia, Peru, Hongkong och Dominikanska republiken - och även där anklagats för pyramidspel och bedrägeri. (sv)
