Businessman Dubec exposed Tisci's cryptocurrency firm recruitment methods: "They called me from a cocaine party"
Slovak rapper and businessman Tomáš Štetiara, known as Tisci, has been in investigative custody since the beginning of July. The Specialised Criminal Court in Banská Bystrica has charged him together with three other individuals with operating fraudulent internet platforms that lured people into fictitious cryptocurrency investments.
A police operation codenamed MIDAS uncovered a network of call centres operating the projects Seif Finance, Seif Group, Seif DAO and Crypto Cartel. Approximately 1,125 victims lost more than 8.4 million euros. During house searches in Bratislava and Sered, police detained 11 people and seized luxury cars, watches, jewellery, cash and crypto-assets.
Investor Milan Dubec, known from the television show Lion's Den, is now publicly discussing his own experience with the firm. He published videos on social media in which he described a telephone call from a company representative. "They wanted to convince me about diversified tokens and a crypto portfolio of real estate with dividends. I had never heard of anything like that," he said.
According to him, loud music played in the background of the call, the kind you hear in a nightclub. When he asked whether they were calling from a party, the answer was affirmative – allegedly from Waikiki beach. "I asked whether they were on drugs. He said yes, on cocaine. That was a clear red flag for me," Dubec added.
Tisci's project was also promoted by influential influencers. One of them, Jovinečko, told television station Markíza that he was unaware of the fraudulent nature and was himself a client. Another former company employee described how a manager spoke to clients seeking to withdraw money with vulgar abuse, and subsequently blocked them.
