Individuals all over the world have donated in direction of the growing humanitarian disaster in Ukraine.
Most donate out of a real need to assist these in want.
Others, like GSPartners and proprietor Josip Heit, see it as a advertising alternative. This led to clashes with donation organizers in Germany.
In since deleted Instagram posts, Josip Heit claimed he was supporting Ukraine “humanitarian motion”.
Not capable of donate via GSPartners straight (as a result of Ponzi), Heit donated round €3000 EUR via his Berliner Tageszeitung media firm.
Heit’s submit featured a truck with signage that includes GSPartners’ emblem. A vacation spot signal on the entrance featured the hashtag #G999.
A March 2nd FaceBook submit by prime GSPartners net-winner Andrew Eaton, revealed the vacation spot signal was photoshopped.
Eaton additionally acknowledged “GSB sending 60 tons of humanitarian help to Ukraine”.
GSB stands for “Gold Customary Financial institution”, it’s one other strand within the net of shell corporations Heit runs GSPartners via.
GSPartners’ donation was a part of a broader effort by Erol, a automobile workshop in Potsdam, Germany. To his credit score Heit disclosed this.
When contacted about GSPartners utilizing their donation drive to promote their Ponzi scheme, a consultant from Erol acknowledged GSPartners branding was positioned “with out consent or information”.
Right here’s the truck earlier than GSPartners defaced it:
GSPartners donated the non-branded posters. It seems they switched the GSPartners ones in when nobody was trying.
The berlin day by day newspaper tried it twice. we’ve eliminated these (posters) 2 instances.
The Berlin day by day newspaper refers to Berliner Tageszeitung. Heit purchased some failing German media corporations some time again. He retains their web sites going to show GSPartners advert banners on.
Actually if that was all there was to this story, I wouldn’t have bothered to place pen to paper.
Heit donated to the Ukrainian trigger. Good on him and if he desires to be cheesy about it, nicely at the least Ukrainians are nonetheless receiving help.
The response from the Erol consultant nonetheless continues;
We had been solely accompanied by the Berlin day by day newspaper – this newspaper in all probability belongs to the GSB group.
They donated about 1000€ of water. 2 tank fillings had been donated by the Berlin day by day newspaper.,
the posters had been additionally donated, however the poster with GSP promoting was not put up by us.
This was eliminated instantly once we found the surreptitious promoting.
The Berlin day by day newspaper solely donated a worth of approx. 3000€. With 3000€ you may’t arrange 60 tons of donation.
On this case, the GSP adorns itself with the pen of the inhabitants of Potsdam and Berlin.
In case it wasn’t clear, in that final paragraph Erol calls out GSPartners for taking credit score for the whole donation pool.
€3000 EUR in help continues to be €3000 EUR in help. However why the necessity to lie about how a lot and switch it right into a advertising marketing campaign?
Even the organizers of the occasion had been driving unmarked rental vans. Have some dignity Josip, that is embarrassing.
