Ukraine HYIP Ponzi scheme using UK Limited shell companies
While doing some research on blockchain/distributed ledgers - I encountered a number of popups from hashblock.net
It was immediately clear that website is promoting a HYIP Ponzi, there are literally thousands of these scam websites.
However what caught my interest was that the site claimed to be a UK Registered company
a quick look on Companies House website confirmed that there is in fact a Company Registered as Hash Block Limited.
The sole company director is named as Stuart Goodman. Interestingly, this is Mr. Goodman’s only directorship registered with UK Companies House.
