00:00Only one group you have at this junction here
00:17and I have to build our company or our organization
00:19into a billion dollar organization
00:21and how it is you can do that
00:23nothing different than what you've already been doing
00:25simple compounding
00:27James Keren Rose, director and founder of Trillion System Limited
00:31had promised thousands who had invested in his crypto or forex platforms
00:36the chance of a lifetime
00:38to earn as much as 10 times the amount on their monies invested
00:41they waited and hoped for that big payday
00:45but for thousands almost 11 months later
00:48it's but a figment of the imagination
00:51as James Rose continued on social media platforms
00:55to promise them that payout
00:57while shifting his dates from late last year to June and then July of this year
01:03On July 1st, TV6 News visited Trillion System Limited's main office
01:08at Bernard Street in Mon Repos San Fernando
01:11seeking answers about when and if these people would receive their money
01:15the gates were quickly closed on us
01:17but in the hour and a half we had spent there
01:19close to 200 people came in and out of those doors
01:23as they were told to come on this date to collect their money
01:26after Rose had sent out this message on a social media platform
01:30but they emerged disappointed still in the dark about their money
01:34close to 50 to 60 people gathered around the road in the car park
01:38trying to figure out their next move
01:41some weren't willing to talk
01:43Good day, I'm Mark Besson from TV6
01:46I understand that you all have any problems getting your money back from trillions
01:52on the table as he spoke to the group saying that even employees at the office were in the dark about some of the actions taken by Rose
02:03What he sold us was trillions, however he never actually showed a deep save, you understand, but again we were sold a dream, you understand, and what made us buy into the dream even further was we continued to get 10% for about two or three months, four months, you understand, so we got that, that taste of financial loss
02:33Another irate investor was calling for his just due
02:48Another irate investor was calling for his just due
02:51Too much time passed, you can't make my way to just give me back my investment
02:54I want where you see your guarantee, you see a million times your guarantee, it doesn't move the public that you pay out already, nobody or nothing, it's just numbers
03:03Another heartbroken investor said he had saved close to $200,000 and invested in late 2024 with nothing to show now
03:12That was my savings since I started working from 18 years old
03:16I sold my maxi, I sold my bus, I put my mother money in there, I put everybody's money in there
03:20Look tomorrow, look today I get them put out, right now my mother I'm packing, she bags and everything
03:26So you're rent?
03:27Yeah
03:27My car, I had to go and sleep now
03:30We're in some difficult situation and we need your money bro, we need your money, people in a desperate dire situation
03:35It is life and death hunting people in, because of you brother
03:39Please just pay the people we invested in here, thinking that you're going to pay, we believed in you
03:45You said we had dreamed that this is a real company, please pay brother, please pay
03:50Another investor said he was hoping that the $50,000 he had invested would now bring him the returns promised as seen on his portal that every other investor was also expecting
04:00This is how much after the 10x
04:02This is how much you're supposed to get after the 10x
04:04Right, this is how much we're supposed to get after the 10x
04:07At least you
04:08Yeah
04:08Right, $50,000, half a million entity
04:12Yeah, $50,000, $50,000
04:13Right, by $10,000
04:14$800,000 by $10,000
04:15And how much it comes up to
04:17Right
04:18What made you believe that after losing $20,000, investing in the $50,000 the second time, that you would reap the rewards
04:28Well, he come up with the Korean physical investments to back up the digital assets
04:34You know what I'm saying?
04:35So he was using the physical investments to back up the
04:39So when he come up with all these things and all these paperwork and things
04:42Well, I say, well boy, this thing getting serious, like you're getting a little more professional, or whatever the case might be
04:48In your books, it appeared to be legitimate
04:51Yeah, yeah, everything
04:53So you're getting the certification, you're getting the full hooks
04:57What was your plan with that money?
05:00My plan was to finish my little house and my
05:03You know what I'm saying? Come out of that little hard thing
05:05You know what I'm saying? Get a little ease up
05:08Because I'm going to work hard for my money, why?
05:11But like so many, there were just figures as seen here from several of the portals sent to us
05:17Showing supposedly large sums of forex or crypto these investors had supposedly earned, according to Rose
05:25But the problem was not a single person could access the money he claimed they made on the investments
05:31As the withdrawal option was not functional, even the new portal created recently had the same problem for all investors
05:39Many even questioned whether this was a real portal
05:43Only made to make you think that you had actual crypto or forex in your account
05:49Despite assurances given by Rose that the 10X was paid, more than the 200 to 300 persons who we spoke with directly and by WhatsApp said they had not gotten a cent
06:00Some of the shareholders who turned up on the same day we were there were invited to meet with Trillions director Rodrigo Cabira at South Park
06:09Who told the shareholders, like them, he too was now essentially in the dark
06:14We confronted Rico following his meet up with the shareholders, making him aware we were filming
06:20Why is it that Mr. Rose is so elusive that he can't face these people?
06:26I don't know brother, I don't have the answers, I'm not going to my own phone with these fellas on them
06:30I'm not going to my own phone with these fellas on them
06:33I don't have the answers
06:35What is the problem, Mr. Rose can't come and speak to these people
06:39If you, these people have invested millions of dollars of their hard-earned money, right?
06:44And I know you work for him, you work for Trillions
06:48And, right
06:50What is he, why is he running?
06:52I don't know brother
06:54In fact Rico said that Rose was the only person with the power of a tinny to handle monetary transactions for Trillions
07:01He allowed us to send Rose a voice note asking questions as to why these investors, who had bought into a financial dream
07:09Expecting payment more than 8 months now, had nothing to show for it
07:14So if it is here indeed following Trillions for the past month and a half, right?
07:17You will see everything that we are doing, right?
07:19We have physical projects, we have digital projects
07:21Now if we are the digital parts of things concerned, I see trade, right?
07:25We have, we have, um, we just completed our monthly, uh, sorry, um, the 10x system that is here
07:32And this is the third time we do this account, right?
07:34This is the third time we do this pool
07:36So we complete this, this pool
07:38And, uh, we credit everybody's accounts
07:40And how does he tell them, man?
07:41Uh, based on what the timing in the markets right now
07:44Humbly suggest we attempt to build, or attempt to build bank
07:48Right? Because when it is you run the numbers, you do the figures
07:50Hey, you could earn on our bank
07:52Earn on our, like, take it from here
07:54Like, and build it bigger
07:55And then when it is you start the investment system
07:57Hey, there's a whole different level of investments
08:00So, all it is I tell them, man, here as you see
08:03Everybody get the 10x
08:05Hey, we put that on the earning side of things to them right now
08:07If they could choose whether they want to earn 8% a month in forex
08:11Or, um, 17% a month in crypto
08:14They could choose whichever plan, right?
08:16And let me just continue billing forward
08:18Because, uh, this, this, boy
08:20You have a proper system
08:22Where trading and earning in the markets concerned
08:25So, that's what did I say
08:26And all this thing with, with James and this and that and all them
08:30Hey, that, that, hey
08:32That is not the case
08:34This is a earning system
08:36And now, I just say, me being the one, would bill it this far
08:40Right?
08:41I, I, I, watch and I send many CM trees and things now dog
08:44I send many CM trees, CM and everything now
08:46I, I, who doing this billing part of things
08:49Right? Been doing it
08:50Roles still failed to address the issue of payment
08:53And other matters we challenged him on
08:55And we sent a second voice note again
08:57Giving him the chance to give a clear explanation
09:00On when and if they'll be paid
09:03Bill our bank, earn on our bank
09:05Right now, we tell them that the earning protocol
09:07They keep, they earn on the, on the capital compounded
09:11Now, even, you're not going to earn this on the, on the way to pay
09:14You know, you're earning on the compounded balance
09:17And here, you're still building it forward on all too
09:20But yeah, that's a time
09:23That's a time, that's a time, that's a way it is
09:25They build up, they build
09:27Because there's a golden time in the markets
09:29Right?
09:30Men get the full value
09:32They earn on it now
09:33Right?
09:34You're going to take it up to the next level
09:36Right?
09:37And everybody going to build together
09:39One of our main goals like this year
09:41My, like, my main goal
09:42But it's starting to be a building of that fund money
09:45Again, Rose repeated the same rhetoric
09:48Oblivious to the real concern here
09:50When's the money being paid out to these investors?
09:53One thing he made certain of his voice notes
09:56That he was the man in charge
09:58And over the last few weeks
10:00Several messages were sent to us by desperate investors
10:03With nowhere to turn
10:05This is just a snapshot
10:08Of some of the despairing messages
10:10Sent by those faced with mounting bills
10:13Medical expenses
10:15Some unable to eat
10:17Others even contemplating suicide
10:20And some crying out for justice
10:23And their money
10:24Because all their follow-up calls
10:26And communications with Rose
10:28Have been met with radio silence
10:31And Rose only recently sending out a letter
10:34On a social media platform
10:36That Rico, a long-standing director
10:39And another employee
10:40Were no longer employed
10:41With Trillian System Limited
10:43Rose had claimed
10:44A day after we had sent him messages
10:46That he was willing to do an interview
10:48As he posted this voice note on social media
10:51Despite being given a cell number to contact Rose
11:06By his den director Rico
11:08We called without success
11:10As the number was not accepting calls
11:12We sent text messages asking
11:14Not only about the legitimacy of the quarry
11:17He claimed Trillians owned
11:19But also why based on our research
11:22And the document we obtained
11:23That showed he had changed his name
11:25To Michael Vincent
11:26From James Rose back in 2019
11:29TV6 News also obtained documents
11:31That Rose had allegedly set up
11:33A real estate company in Florida recently
11:35And he'd also obtained information
11:37That he had purportedly created
11:39Three different personal crypto wallets
11:41One senior with $21 million
11:43And two others with $25 and $58 million respectively
11:48However, Rose failed to answer our questions
11:51About these alleged findings
11:53Despite several follow-up text messages
11:55Over the last few weeks
11:57While Rose remains elusive
11:59Anxious investors calculate their next move
12:02In what they perceive
12:03As a financial nightmare
