12JUL22- "The PipMaster case: the influencer who built an investment pyramid. At just 30 years old, Cris Jumbo, an 'ontological coach' and author of self-help books, moved millions through a network of companies in Ecuador and the United States. Cristhian Bladimir Jumbo Angulo, the founder of PipMaster, was born in El Carmen, Manabí Province, in 1992.

He studied primary and secondary school in the city of Santo Domingo where he also went to university. When he was still just another university student, he began to build his public character: Cris Jumbo, and began to take his first "business" steps. In a small cafeteria in the center of Santo Domingo, he met his first clients. He offered to receive their money and invest it in national and international stock markets.

To attract clients, Cris Jumbo promised them high monthly interest payments. Thus PipMaster was born. Four years later, this company already had offices in exclusive buildings in Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, Orellana and Machala.

On July 12, Jumbo was arrested along with five other people during a mega operation. The Prosecutor's Office and the police carried out 36 raids in six provinces as part of the operation to dismantle this alleged network of illegal money raising and money laundering.

The Superintendency of Companies issued the first alert on PipMaster in November 2021. The Superintendency clarified to the public that PipMaster did not have authorization to carry out operations of brokerage houses or be an administrator of funds and trusts." - (Big Pimpin indicted on 45 charges)

🃏This aint an April fools day JOKE🀄️Let the 👹Paros / Strikes👺 Return with a Vengeance⚔️🛡💣🔥01APRIL 2026 - 📈 Prices of basic necessities are rising.📊 "The #SRI (Internal Revenue Service) is applying a 15% VAT to everyday food items such as processed milk, yogurt, bread, noodles, and more.

In practice, going to the market will cost more, and money will go less. This comes on top of rising fuel and transportation costs. The cost of living is increasing, and the burden of the crisis is once again falling on the people."
