7,000 will already be recruited in the company - which among other things entices the members to get their own oil well in Texas.
- The main reason I do it is because I have to prove that the things I tried to achieve in T5PC are actually correct. I can not cleanse myself with words, but I can do it with action, says Jørn Tagge to NRK.
CEO Jarl Moe denies that this is a new attempt to defraud people of money:
- We think it is important to give people a chance to see how it can work when you do it right. And when you see what T5PC has done wrong, then of course you do not make the same mistakes again. It has probably been a learning process for many. Many are positive about what we do, says Moe to NRK.
NRK got hold of Jarl Moe at the airport in Barcelona. These are busy days for the management of Owners Group International, or Ogint as they call themselves. Work is now in full swing to recruit people from the membership list in the pyramid company The Five Percent Community.
The management consists of several of those who were central in T5PC, and the procedure is confusingly similar. You will be asked to deposit money and recruit members, in return you can expect sky-high returns.
- We give people an opportunity with us. If they are not interested in it, it can be either, says Moe.
In a presentation NRK has gained access to, it is lured with monthly payments of close to 1 million kroner. The company, which is to be launched these days, even invites members on a trip to Texas. There they will be allowed to fry eggs and bacon on their own oil well.
- Yes, that's right. We make investments together with large oil companies, and those who are interested in this type of savings will have a part ownership, says Moe.
Jarl Moe is listed as CEO of the company, which is registered in the Seychelles. According to Moe, the company has already attached 7,000 members. That Jørn Tagge is now charged by Økokrim in a pyramid scheme is undramatic, Moe believes.
- What is important is whether Jørn Tagge has done something illegal or not. We feel confident that he has not done so, he says.
