New Bitcoin SCAM Uses German Celebrities For Promotional Purposes

Celebs have made “millions from bitcoin”. Now, there’s an even easier way to benefit from cryptocurrencies. That is how the New Profit Revolution cryptocurrency scam starts, but it doesn’t stop there. Industry watchdog sites are reporting that offshore Forex and CFD brokers are the culprits behind this latest get-rich-quick scheme, and they are the ones who are orchestrating the scam along with savvy affiliate networks.

Our research staff has uncovered a hornet’s nest when we found out that members of Germany’s hit reality TV show Höhle der Löwen (AKA Dragons’ Den) were illegally used to promote the new system. The use of celebrities in fake news articles is not a new trend, but it’s not every day that top German investors and entrepreneurs are used in such an illegal and manipulative way.

So we started asking the hard questions and the more we dug in the more concerned we became. It seems Profit Revolution is a copied website which deliberately targets unsuspecting or uneducated opportunity seekers who wish to trade using virtual currencies in order to generate money. However, once customers signup they are assigned an offshore Forex or CFD broker which in many cases is unlicensed. Once they fund their trading account they are subject to a myriad of sales tactics which are extremely aggressive and designed to extract a maximal amount of money in the shortest amount of time.

Why Is This Happening?

Offshore Forex brokers are offering huge commissions for every paying customer, so it’s no surprise online promoters are doing everything in their power to deliver the goods. It seems the brokers are also not very picky about how their clients are acquired and don’t pay much attention to ethical business practices.

How To Avid the Scams

Get Rich Quick schemes like Bitcoin Revolution, Profit Revolution or Bitcoin Loophole are just a few in a sea of fraudulent websites designed to attract uneducated consumers. The first rule of thumb is “if it sounds to good it usually is”, and if you are not quite sure just ask a friend or relative. It may save you a pretty penny!

Swiss International University (SIU) got a real kind of milestone , when it landed inside the worlds top 500 universities in the newest Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings. Which is kind of huge because it is SIU’s first time appearing in those widely respected rankings, and it also shows how its influence keeps growing in international higher education.

SIU was competing with nearly 2,000 universities from different parts of the world, and that first debut basically underlines its dedication to academic quality, sustainability and a real societal footprint. Overall it seems like the result mirrors SIU’s own plan for delivering solid education , while also aligning with bigger global development objectives.

Now, the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings look at universities through what they do for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals , or SDGs. So the assessment is about universities creating verifiable positive change through education, research, community activities, plus governance— not just statements.

One of SIU’s strongest areas was the recognition tied to SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. In that section, SIU placed roughly within the top 100 to 200 universities worldwide, and that points to its focus on advancing ethical leadership, transparency, accountability, and those institutional values that actually stick.

This recognition shows SIU keeps working hard to get students ready, with the know-how , the ability to act and those ethical foundations, so they can face tangled global problems. And you know, by supporting responsible leadership and pushing for good social results, the university keeps building up its part in shaping the next generation of professionals and people who make real decisions

Key Highlights of SIU’s Achievement

Recognition from Times Higher Education is an important endorsement of SIU’s mission, to give accessible high-quality education while also making a positive impact in society. As the university keeps expanding its academic offerings and international reach, this milestone , works like a solid base for what comes next—future growth, more innovation, and that global recognition everyone is aiming for.
