Congrats to Forest on their new sponsor, 6686.com, a gambling firm without even a working website and which is licenced, as they always are, through Isle of Man white label shop, TGP.
#NFFC
While the holding site claims it will serve UK punters, the name 6686, which is composed of numbers traditional regarded as lucky in China.
Strangely, thus far, Forest don't seem to have announced the deal. And there doesn't seem to be much available online to shed any light on this new partner.
However, there is also a website 6686.com.com, which appears to offer a heady mix of casino games, sports betting and semi-naked ladies. I don't know, at this stage, if they are related to 6686.com.
Still, who'd notice one more opaque, Asian-facing, loop-hole enabled, anonymous gambling company clinging like a parasitical worm to football's fat underbelly?
Intriguingly, while UK punters are directed to a website saying "coming soon", accessing 6686.com from some other countries redirects you 96686.app, suggesting perhaps that 6686 are in fact already operating in other countries.
One can only wonder why a legit gambling firm would claim to be launching soon, use TGP for anonymity, sign a partnership with a sport shown in territories where gambling is illegal, use a brand name with lucky Chinese numbers and then secretly redirect customers to its app.
A couple of little extras on Forest's new gambling partner 6686.com, which signed a deal with a UK club but has no functioning UK website. The company also signed a deal late last year with Lazio and has done some promotional films.
6686.com doesn't appear on Lazio's Italian or English language websites as a commercial partner. But it is on what appears to be the club's Chinese website, where it claims to be a Philippine-licensed betting company founded in 2011.

Bizarrely, the crypto ponzi scheme carrying the branding of Sarb Capital, the would-be owners of Morecambe FC, has reappeared. The site, offering 35% returns a week, was registered in mid-Jan and vanished late on 9th Feb, shortly after it was publicised.
sarblimited.com
Sarb Capital have failed to respond to any of the dozens of questions I've sent them since their takeover bid became public in early January, including questions about their relationship, if any, to this crypto scam.
While they have made no public comment, a statement by the Morecambe ST, following its meeting with Sarb Capital's owner last week, suggested that Sarb Capital denies any involvement in the scheme.

Something weird is going on with Everton fan tokens. Despite the price being in the doldrums, in the last month, the volume of trading increased overnight by 15x, something not repeated on any other Premier League token. More details below. Explanations welcome.
1/9
Here’s the Everton token price since 1st December. The tokens are currently worth about 45p, which is where they’ve been for about two months. (Listed in late Oct 21, they’ve been below their £2 launch price since 16/11/21.)

But look at the trading volumes. For most of the last sixth months, action was very slow, with daily trading volumes generally at about £3,000-£4,000. And then, on 23rd January, a huge spike in trading occurred.

Sarb Capital, the company which is seeking to buy Morecambe, had a crypto scheme offering 35% weekly interest. The website has been taken down, but analysis of the content links it to more than half-a-dozen dubious crypto schemes.
1/23
Background 1/3
As I reported in January, Sarb Capital is a year old “private equity” firm which doesn’t appear to have any money. Its owner’s claimed wealth is supposed to come from Sarb Capital and two drinks companies, one of which he claimed would be worth £1bn+ by 2025.

Background 2/3
There's little publicly available evidence that these businesses are profitable enough to have generated the millions needed to buy a football club. Which left the question of if Mr Johal really is wealthy and, if so, what the source of his wealth is.

Another Morecambe article where no fact has not gone unchecked.
Why are you writing "alleged" when you could go to Companies House and check the accuracy of this claim in literally two minutes? Image
The irony of this is that it *isn't* true and actually overstates the financial health of the companies, because the first reporter made a mistake and the second one didn't check.

Wanna hear a story of one of football’s fastest ever crypto partner collapses? Then turn your clocks back to 28 Feb 22, when Birmingham City announced a two-year deal with “Ultimo GG” which would see the club being the “first Club from the EFL to enter the Metaverse.”

The website of Ultimo, doubtless keen to assure users that it wasn't just another crypto fraud, profiled its founders and emphasised the experience of the Ultimo Group and its execs. And it's true, there is a company called Ultimo Ventures and Ultimo Warrior. But...
2/14
Ultimo Ventures’ Companies House filings showed that, only a few weeks earlier, it had filed accounts showing the company as dormant to year end 31st May 2021. So, even if it had been trading since then, that’s not much of a track record.

Fulham's official Pyramid Scheme Provider, Titan Capital Markets, has redesigned its website (which is geoblocked outside of the developing countries it is preying on). It now illustrates its services with pictures of pirate treasure. Fulham remain proudly party to this fraud.
The only other significant addition to the site is the endorsement of Fulham. Meanwhile, on the ground in West Africa and South East Asia, the company's organisers continue to make hay with the deal, using Fulham as explicit evidence of Titan's trustworthiness.
Titan use Fulham to project the image of a high-tech global Forex and CFD business, but the reality is the old fashioned financial scam of public meetings in poor communities where people are conned out of their savings with impossible promises of financial returns.
