In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, scams often thrive in the shadows of hype and hope. One of the most brazen and delusional examples to surface recently is BitHarvest Ltd, fronted by a collection of dodgy characters including Walter Meyer and Marcos Schroeckenthaler, also known as Marcos Caleb.
What follows is an inside look at the unraveling of BitHarvest’s carefully crafted illusion, one Zoom call at a time, and the legacy of deception it’s built upon.
Crashing the Scam: Behind the Scenes of a BitHarvest Zoom
In a recent BitHarvest training Zoom hosted by Meyer and Schroeckenthaler, there were just 10 attendees at the start. That number ballooned to 60 as things quickly spiraled into chaos—because I was in the meeting, live streaming it for the world to see.
Despite their warnings to “be careful, people can take screenshots,” these crypto clowns didn’t realize they were being broadcast in real time. Instead of teaching attendees how to get rich, they spent half the session moaning about how The Avenger keeps exposing them. They claimed I’m “just doing it for YouTube dollars.” No, gentlemen—I do this to save people from losing their life savings.
This was more than just a call—it was a moment of truth. As we stirred the pot and caused mayhem, BitHarvest’s defenders revealed just how fragile their fake empire really is.
What Is BitHarvest, Really?
BitHarvest claims to be a bitcoin mining company using proprietary “BitBooster” USB devices connected to AI-enhanced mining farms. In theory, you invest in boosters, and they generate passive income. In reality, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has issued a Desist and Refrain Order against BitHarvest for offering unqualified securities—a textbook sign of fraud.
But like all good scams, BitHarvest dresses itself in the language of opportunity: multilevel marketing, referral commissions, AI-powered tech, and life-changing earnings. It’s all a smokescreen. There’s no real mining. There’s no real product. Just smoke, mirrors, and empty wallets.
Don’t Just Take My Word for It—Hear From the Victims
Here are real stories from real people who got entangled in the BitHarvest scam:
“I watched your video just in the nick of time. I was about to buy into his BitHarvest scam. In fact, I did sign up but my USDT was being held by Coinbase so my sponsor actually fronted me the money. Only $100 but I have a ‘share’ BitBooster now and it does seem pretty scammy. I’m in Marcos’s private Messenger group. He just posted a video at a car dealership in Malaysia—Direct Auto Works—saying he’s buying a luxury car for one of his ‘hard-working’ members. Let me know how I can help get him arrested. I’m in Florida, USA.”
“Now I get $0.34 per day per one booster. I bought one booster for $1,000 and I get $0.34. That is nothing. I cannot contact the head office. My upline says I need to buy 110 boosters to get the ‘standard earnings,’ but he never told me that at the beginning. It looks like a scam. After I bought in, I couldn’t do anything.”
“This is project scam. I bought 100 boosters and I get $0.44 per booster. Today the website says $3–$11. What can I do now?”
The Man Behind the Curtain: Marcos Schroeckenthaler
Marcos goes by Marcos Caleb, a name inherited from his father. According to sources who’ve reached out:
“His dad started Marcos in nonstop Ponzi or pyramid scheme selling. They live in Clearwater Lake, Wisconsin with Marcos’s mother in a house gifted by his grandmother. He’s never had a real job—just moved from one scam to another. From long-distance calling cards in the ’90s to liquid vitamins to crypto scams, it’s all the same formula: recruit and exploit.”
“Their family had to cut ties with Marcos’s father because he wouldn’t stop trying to scam church members. Now Marcos is using the same tactics on a global scale. Neither of them has ever held an honest job.”
This is generational fraud. A legacy of deception disguised as entrepreneurship.
The Red Flags Are All There
Let’s be real—BitHarvest is full of holes big enough to drive a Lamborghini through (probably leased using referral money):
No customer service or contact number
No verifiable headquarters
No proof of mining operations
No transparency around team members
MLM-style compensation plan
Returns based on recruitment, not product
Regulatory action already taken
What Can You Do?
If you’ve already put money in, I’m sorry—but know you’re not alone. Speak out. Share your story. Warn others. If you haven’t yet, stay away. And if you have any information on Marcos, Walter, or Jan Gregory—especially where they are or where they’re traveling—get in touch. Authorities like the Alberta Securities Commission are watching.
Let’s make it harder for these scammers to keep hiding behind new usernames, fresh Zoom calls, and big promises. Let’s bring the whole house of cards down.
