While most of the world has wised up to crypto Ponzi schemes disguised as “AI” or “metaverse innovation,” somehow Future Multiverse is still finding fresh victims — this time in Europe. And yes, we’ve got names.

Despite its flashy Dubai branding and buzzword-laced sales pitch, Future Multiverse is nothing more than a reboot of a collapsed crypto scam called FutureX.

The same grifters, the same token (FXTE), and the same empty promises of passive income through “staking,” “virtual land,” and “NFT commissions.”

Same Scam, New Packaging

Future Multiverse claims to be a “hyperrealistic 3D business platform” that uses Web4, blockchain, AI, VR, and possibly fairy dust to “digitize cities” and revolutionize how we live and work. What they actually offer is:

  • No retail product
  • No functional platform
  • Investment tiers from $250 to $10 million
  • Promised daily passive returns
  • Commissions for recruiting others into the scheme

If that sounds like a classic Ponzi to you — you’re absolutely right. But now, instead of just lurking in shady Dubai WhatsApp groups, this scam is starting to rear its head in Germany.

“The Network ‘Future Multiverse’ that you have reported on is establishing a footprint in Germany, near Ulm and Ehingen, around local snake oilers Helmut Oehrl and Martin Feniuk.”
— Local informant, Germany

Enter: Helmut Oehrl and Martin Feniuk

Two key players have emerged on the German front of this international fraud:

  • Helmut Oehrl – Self-proclaimed “MetaVerse Consultant” and “Chief Sales Officer” at Future Multiverse. His LinkedIn profile lists 48 connections — which says all you need to know about his “global reach.”
  • Martin Feniuk – Currently promoting the scam as a “Sales Manager,” now actively forming partnerships in Germany under the VFFV and Future Catalyst Holding umbrellas.

“Some of them [local officials] seem to have been bamboozled into supporting this network, specifically by promises of ‘AI’, ‘high-tech’, etc.”
— Local informant warning about government naivety

VFFV: Legitimacy Through a Misleading Association

One of the major enablers of Future Multiverse’s expansion into Germany is a small organisation called VFFV — short for Verein für fortwährende Verbesserung (Association for Continuous Improvement).

Operating under the website vffv-ulm.com, this group presents itself as a harmless personal development and digital coaching association. But in reality, it acts as a credibility front for crypto fraud — pulling people into investment scams like Future Multiverse under the banner of “education,” “team building,” and “blockchain literacy.”

Their website and events are riddled with red flags:

  • Promotes network marketing under the guise of empowerment
  • Hosts crypto “Stammtisch” (roundtables) and tiered memberships
  • Runs “Support Fridays” with no visible credentials or regulatory oversight
  • Obscures financial risks behind vague terms like “mindset,” “care,” and “digital readiness”

Note: This VFFV should not be confused with other German organisations that use similar acronyms. This kind of name mimicry is common among crypto schemes looking to launder credibility and avoid detection.

In short, this is just another scam-stained gateway built to shield the operation from scrutiny while reeling in new investors — especially in regional communities across Germany.

Sponsoring a Football Club to Launder Credibility

Future Multiverse has now wedged itself into a sponsorship deal with SSV Ulm 1846, a football club in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. From their press release:

“We are now the proud sponsor of SSV Ulm 1846 football. We look forward to a long-term partnership and to supporting SSV and the region through our future technologies.”
— Martin Feniuk, Sales Manager, Future Catalyst Holding

This is a well-known Ponzi tactic — using sports sponsorships to mask the grift. It allows scammers to create the illusion of legitimacy and proximity to local institutions. If you’re affiliated with this club or a parent of a child playing there, ask yourself:

Why is a Dubai-based crypto startup with no product sponsoring a regional football team in Germany?

The Hidden Guidebook Tells a Very Different Story

One of the only actual documents Future Multiverse has released is a “Guidebook” hosted on GitHub — not even their official site.

Inside, the red flags multiply:

  • Referral commissions for recruiting new investors
  • “Marketing packages” that define your earnings level
  • A Business Pool promising NFT-based returns
  • Instructions on “staking FXTE” for daily profits

This isn’t a tech platform — it’s MLM wrapped in blockchain gibberish, designed to hide its pyramid structure behind layers of fake innovation.

Who Is Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi, Really?

Kamalabadi isn’t just a face in Future Multiverse’s videos — he’s a career Ponzi architect.

  • Former ringleader of HyperFund, which collapsed owing hundreds of millions
  • Closely tied to StableDAO, another dead-end token scheme
  • Allegedly connected to the now-defunct HOO Exchange, which collapsed after freezing withdrawals
  • Claims to lead a “Future Trends Group” with 400 million contacts, a laughable and unverifiable figure

His specialty? Fronting fraudulent DeFi projects with an air of diplomatic credibility, dragging in high-net-worth victims with promises of global influence and wealth.

Legal Threats and Intimidation Attempts

PDFWhen I exposed Future Multiverse’s connection to Kamalabadi and broke down the scam in detail, the company responded — not with evidence, not with facts — but with legal intimidation.

Their law firm LawVisory PLLC (based in Dubai, of course) sent me a Cease-and-Desist Letter demanding I:

  • Delete my videos
  • Delete my blogs
  • Stop mentioning them
  • Promise never to talk about them again

Spoiler: I ignored them.
Why? Because every claim I’ve made about Future Multiverse is backed by research, evidence, and multiple sources, including excellent independent work by BehindMLM.

The Same Old Grift: FXTE Token + Fake Land + “Metaverse” Garbage

Future Multiverse has simply rebranded the failed FXTE token from FutureX, layered it with AI/VR/3D nonsense, and is now pushing “starter packages,” “VIP NFTs,” and “virtual land sales.”

It’s the same bait-and-switch:

  • FXTE tokens you can’t cash out
  • Virtual land with no utility
  • Fake staking with no audited returns
  • Commissions paid from new investor money

That’s not the future — that’s a Ponzi scheme with a MetaMask wallet.

Final Warning: Watch Out for the Following Names

If you see any of the following names promoting “Future Multiverse,” treat it like a financial biohazard:

  • Simon Voelk (or Volk) – Alleged founder, no verifiable history
  • Stefanie Xu – Co-founder and former promoter of FutureX
  • Dr. Farzam Kamalabadi – Serial Ponzi kingpin
  • Jeff Smith – Legal mouthpiece issuing threats
  • Helmut Oehrl – German arm of the operation
  • Martin Feniuk – Public face of the scam in Germany
  • Future Catalyst Holding – Their shell entity in Germany
  • VFFV / vffv-ulm.com – The fake “education academy” acting as their gateway

If You See Future Multiverse — Run

If someone sends you a slick-looking video about how “the Future Multiverse is changing everything,” ask one simple question:

Where does the money come from?

If the answer is: “from people buying in” — it’s a scam.

If you’ve already invested, report it.

If you’re being asked to promote it, don’t become the next collapse’s excuse.

This isn’t the future — it’s just another recycled crypto Ponzi, wearing a virtual reality headset and screaming “Web4.”
