Just been reading more about this scam. It doesn't surprise me that these Love Island type of influencers are accepting the cash for a quick Insta post, but I'm very surprised Kevin De Bruyne (£200k+ per week) is on board. He needs a new management company ASAP.

Not gonna lie, I respect the hustle. There's a reason why he buys cars 24/7.

I love the fact that a Google search for LANISTAR brings up their website first, and the FCA warning second, before the dozens of generic press releases from "Gurhan Kiziloz" who has seemingly appeared from nowhere. Another "social media rich kid" who is showing off his fathers (Deniz Kiziloz) wealth, pretending it is his own.

But that has nothing to do with vloggers, and everything to do with smoke and mirrors.

Lanistar managed to get some other big names to do the same too - for example Paulo Dybala, David Luiz, Luis Suarez, Morata, Willian, Ronaldo’s mrs etc. Bizarre behaviour.

I wonder what they were paying, because Lukaku was also involved...Inter not paying enough?

Agree... fair play to him for another revenue stream. Why not.. I don't see the harm if someone is willing to pay.

From the various things I've been reading online apparently influencers have been offered shares in Lanistar in Lieu of payment. Would make a lot of sense as the marketing cost to pay for all of these influencers i imagine would be astronomical.

To bring this back to a Youtube theme - here's a relevant video:

The sheer number of influencers they have managed to get on board is truly baffling. If you check the comments under one of the influencers posts you will find comments by other influencers (blue tick next to their name) and you'll find they are all promoting the company. Even more obscure ones like a random chef with 40k followers.

To then have footballers who will be clearing 200-300k a week + have tens of millions of instagram followers would not be cheap.

I suppose, another perspective would be it's probably not too far away from the cost of a prime time TV advertising campaign (I presume that's 7 figure costs?) - if anything, this is way more targeted and effective.

More importantly, less regulated.

LOCK THEM UP!



I hope nobody lost any money on this other than the people involved in running this scam, looks like Tom dodged a bullet on this one.

Firstly moving this thread here without warning or notice is a complete joke.

It has been known for a long time that Lord Aleem and associates are as shady as they come he can praise and thank god all he wants but everyone knows what his family have been up to....

Also Yanni the worlds greatest wrapper seems to have got into bed with that horrible Jeremy Lynch guy that every other you tuber seems to mock. I wonder if he is paying Yanni to help grow his channel.
