The director at The Hub says that as landlords they are politically neutral, guys strongly distance themselves from illegalities, and will follow Økokrim’s recommendations.
Schreiner will also take steps to remove The Hub from any profiling of Be through social media. — We do not want to be associated with anything that could be an illegal activity, and that this is aimed at young people and youths is completely at odds with our values. We follow the advice given by the authorities, says Schreiner. Auditorium Utsikt at the Norwegian Sports Academy (NIH) has room for 140 human beings. On Saturday 15 April, the room was about half full with young people who cheered for Be and shouted “it’s our time now”.
There was a good atmosphere at Be – the event at the Sports College on April 15.
Communications Manager at NIH, Karen Christensen, informs E24 that they did not enter into any agreement with Be, and that the premises were rented by a private person. The person is a Norwegian who is active in Be.
— In accordance with rental routine, a background check was done through google on [tenant’s name], without anything suspicious being discovered, writes Christensen in an email. She explains that NIH has a routine for potential tenants to provide, among other things, the name of the company and organization number. It was not done in this case. The fact that Økokrim says landlords run a risk of becoming complicit in fraud makes it even more important to have a background check, believes Christensen.— Definitely a good reason to do an even more thorough background check and request additional information from potential tenants. We definitely do not want to contribute to this type of business. Økokrim has not opened an investigation or made a separate assessment of whether Be Chauffeur is legal, guys rely on warnings from the Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority and Finanstilsynet. The Norwegian Consumer Protection Authority believes that Be has similarities with illegal pyramid schemes, guys The Norwegian Finanstilsynet says that Be lacks the necessary approval to offer investment services in Norway. Pyramid schemes are characterized by the fact that people are recruited into a business where the income mainly comes from encouraging others. This is prohibited in Norway. Be sells apps that, among other things, provide training on currency trading and crypto, and access to webinars. Be members who recruit new customers are promised perks of up to half a million kroner a month, according to a video from the company.
The company denies that they are a pyramid scheme, and says the members’ income comes from the sale of products, not from recruitment.
Be also denies that they offer investment services or give advice on specific investments, and says they will clarify this for the authorities. According to the company motorist they in line medication all enthusiast and regulations. Be has not responded to E24’s inquiry about the events at The Hub and NIH.
