SkyWay in Foreign Countries

Australia

Australia started negotiating with SkyWay thanks to promotion from Rod Hook who used to work for the Australian Government.

The following article mentions the project planned at Flinders University in South Australia: -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 15:48, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

The following references were suggested in the March deletion discussion based on questioning the notability of the SkyWay Group:

Let's take Australian project, cancelled now. It was covered by popular news sites of Adelaide: (some problems opening last one now. Text is available here: ). So it has "significant coverage in multiple reliable independent secondary sources". Sources for Lithuania, India, Indonesia, UAE present in the article. Whole articles are about SkyWay, it is not just one-line mention. Of course most information exists in Belarus and Russian sites. Many of them independent like Onliner, Tut.By mentioned in the articles. There are many not mentioned yet like or Popular Mechanics: (it is placed on Skyway partner site but it is PDF of the printed version of the magazine. I cannot find it placed in the other place now.)

On 29 November 2018 the SkyWay Invest Group held a motivational meeting in Perth, Western Australia. Read about it here: -Zachar (talk) 09:30, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

This article published in February 2019 in the Advertiser (Adelaide newspaper) has detailed information about good reasons for the eventual postponement of the proposed project at Flinders University:

Warnings mount as it all looks like pie in the Sky-Way (The Advertiser) 23 February 2019 - Adelaide, Australia

Warnings mount as it all looks like pie in the Sky-Way (The Advertiser) 23 February 2019 - Adelaide, Australia THERE was an event held in Dubai last week called the World Government Summit which was attended by Belarussian inventor and engineer Anatoly Yunitskiy. He is the brains behind the SkyWay concept, which was proposed as a transport solution for Adelaide’s streets. Think autonomous trams in the air, travelling at 150km/h. The SkyWay concept was given credence in Adelaide because it was backed by the well-regarded former Transport Department chief Rod Hook. But after a couple of years of spruiking, the idea died in August when Hook conceded Yunitskiy had taken the concept to the United Arab Emirates. But it’s possible it was a lucky escape for Hook. So far Belgium, New Zealand, Lithuania and Estonia have issued warnings to potential investors not to get involved with SkyWay. “The scheme proposed by SkyWay Capital exhibits the characteristics of a pyramid scheme,’’ Belgium’s Financial Services Markets Authority said in a statement. SkyWay’s website is an interesting read. Like many toogood-to-be-true investments it offers remarkable returns. “Increase your investments up to 1000 per cent or more in 3-5 years,’’ it says. SkyWay also claims to have $400 billion in pre-order contracts. An email to SkyWay asking it to detail the contracts went unanswered. Initially, punters are asked to stump up money in a crowd-funding exercise. The promise is the initial investment will become shares when SkyWay lists on the London Stock Exchange. Hook told Off the Record he had lost no money and didn’t believe it was a pyramid scheme. He also believed the engineering was sound, although he thought Yunitsky lacked “commercial sense’’.

Another article in the Adelaide newspaper, The Advertiser, was published on 17 May 2016 and was called "SKY-HIGH DREAM TO GET CITY MOVING: Ex-transport chief Rod Hook unveils $13m elevated, driverless SkyWay train plan for Flinders University". The original is here , but you can't read the text unless you have a subscription to the newspaper. Someone was kind enough to publish the text of this article here: . It contains detailed information about the SkyWay Australia negotiations which took place in 2016 in Adelaide at the Flinders University. -Zachar (talk) 15:09, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

^talk2siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia 15:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for these links. It should be noted here that all projects in Australia were indefinitely postponed in August 2018. All these letters confirm is that SkyWay self-published these letters which may or not have actually been written by Rod Hook and associates.Zachar (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

From BehindMLM, participant in discussion thread Roslyn: Rod still has a Skyway website that promotes it (even if it is old).

Besides the obvious content, the address and contact is the same of that of his company Rod Hook and associates and is of the same distinct style as that website, so clearly belongs to him. Extract from this website –

skywayaustralia.com.au/bio

Sky Way’s leading Co-founders, Rod Hook and Maree Wauchope, were so impressed by Sky Way’s revolutionary approach to rail, they immediately wanted to see Sky Way systems built in Australia... They co-own the Australian company with Dr Anatoly Yunitskiy the inventor of Sky Way technology, and Global Transport Inc, Sky Way’s leading Financiers.

Sky Way Transport Australia was founded in October 19 2015, as a private company, according to the ASIC website.

Maree Wauchope is his partner at Rod hook and associates, and also has worked in Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure as an Executive Director and is has been listed as a managing partner and marketing specialist for Skyway on some sites.

Also on the site is their version of why the sudden departure of Skyway from Australia:

"The Australian partners of Sky Way Transport Australia have now been advised that Dr Anatoly Yunitsky has entered into arrangements to further develop his Sky Way technology within the United Arab Emirates (UAE). As a result of this arrangement Dr Anatoly has decided to postpone any work within Australia to build and operate a system until such time as he has concluded his UAE commitments.

So just postponed according to Rod and Maree. He’ll be back to build his Australian flying Choo choo, he’s just busy pretending to build Dubai’s one at the moment.

Skyway also use his new recent government appointment, as validation of an Australian project and to recruit as seen here on Skyway Facebook page April 2019: –

‘#SkyWayTransportAustralia Congratulations on new Government appointment. Rod Hooke is in a key position with his new appointment for the next 3 years to facilitate a SkyWay System in Australia.

We need to finalise the 15 stages of SkyWay ASAP so we can get started who wants more information about becoming a co-owner of this technology? #hitmeupformoreinfo

If he’s trying to distance himself he really needs to do a better job. Zachar (talk) 10:37, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

On 8 July 2018 a SWIG Sales and Recruitment meeting has been planned in Burwood, New South Wales. Read about it here: . They are again making ridiculous and unrealistic promises about the secrets to financial literacy thanks to their insights on the "NEEW" (new economic evolution of the world). The presenters and John Khoo & Michael Ho. They are selling cryptounits and support the entirely untested and uncertified Belarusian light rail transport technology SkyWay but it seems an additional discussion to 'wealth education seminars'. −Zachar (talk) 11:23, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Belgium

The financial regulatory agency FSMA released a warning in September 2017 about the activities of the SkyWay group - in particular SkyWay Capital and the First Skyway Invest Group Limited - in Belgium who were not permitted to sell its investment products as they had not applied for the necessary prospectus to do so. The public was further warned that this company showed the characteristics of a pyramid scheme and that they would be ill-advised to invest money in SkyWay projects. You can read the warning in English here: .

SkyWay Capital are still planning motivated sales and recruitment meetings in Belgium. Recent meetings were held in Antwerp and Brussels . Herman Vertez is listed as the top SkyWay Capital consultant at the Brussels event; Kristiaan Van Den Vyver in Antwerp. Publish any verified commentary on these events which took place in April and May 2019 below. –Zachar (talk) 14:41, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

A SWIG recruitment and sales meeting is planned in Bruges, Belgium on 30 June 2019.. The international guest speaker is Alena Pepina. This is what they have to say about the event:

"We support SkyWay Technologies, an innovative new eco friendly transport system, set to take the WORLD by storm in the very near future. Let us show you how to obtain co-ownership of this new technology as a bonus! You'll want to be a part of this!"

You can also pre-purchase tickets to the EcoFest which is taking place at the SkyWay demonstration facility in Marjina Horka August 2019. It should be mentioned here that through transferring money to this company, you emphatically DO NOT obtain co-ownership of this technology. This company is not permitted to sell you anything. Belgium has recently rereleased their warning about SkyWay activities in this country. They lack the prospectus to sell shares and have not registered their securities. Any money you invest in this company you will most likely lose and until they can show they have registered officially you are advised to not spend your money on unregistered and illegal investment products. Zachar (talk) 10:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Czech Republic

Here's an official notice from the Czech government that Eurasian Rail Skyway systems - a member of the SkyWay group - is selling shares there without a license. The notice says that "Public offer of securities of Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Holding [is] without prospectus." Here's a translation of the wording of the warning:

The Czech National Bank informs the public that the investment in the securities of Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Holding, ISIN VGG322291094, is publicly offered in the Czech Republic without the Czech National Bank, or the Supervisory Authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36c of the Capital Market Undertakings Act another Member State of the European Union, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 36f of the Capital Market Undertakings Act, a prospectus for that security has been approved and published.

Can anyone confirm this warning? A link is included below. It is dated 2016 which is years before other warnings issued later and which are already included in the article. If someone can confirm this I'll include information about this warning in the 'other countries' section on financial irregularities. http://www.cnb.cz/cs/spotrebitel/ochrana_spotrebitele/upozorneni/upozorneni_euroasian_rail_skyway.html –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 23:03, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

That is absolutely realistic. Memorandum of investor was issued in 2015 or earlier and companies like Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Holding Ltd (ERSS), GTI are mentioned there. Now they have updated version but you can find there documents dated 2013-2015 (pp.55 and later). Dron007 (talk) 03:00, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. But I included a warning from the state government about the unregulated sale of shares of this SkyWay company. Do you think this 'warning' is realistic? What on earth do you actually mean? You included reference to an entirely unverifiable SkyWay self-published document, so I don't see how this can help prove a governmental warning from a Czech source. It sounds like you either misunderstood the English translation or you want to make an entirely different point.

Not sure what you mean. I though that by "it seems hard to believe that this could be true in 2016" you doubt that there were Skyway companies in 2016. That's why I provided a document that shows that these companies have been existing since 2013 or so. Some of them may be checked in official sites. Need to check. Dron007 (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

So sorry if that wasn't clear. I'm going to change the wording so it's clearer what I'm looking for. The talk page is to check facts before including them in the article; new issues should be checked first for accuracy by other users. I found the reference to a specific regulation from the Czech Republic warning people not to invest in one of the SkyWay group companies because they had no permission to sell shares there in 2016. Other countries like Japan and Lithuania issued warnings years later. But I translated this regulation directly from Czech with Google translate. What if I was wrong? What if I implicated the Czech government in a scandal they were not involved with? It would absolutely ruin my reputation which is already not great because I've included so much passion in my warnings that SkyWay is a scam (which I regret deeply in retrospect). So to be specific, if you know a Czech person who can find out if what I found on the internet is actually true, that would be great. But any additional references you find would be appreciated - and in fact it's great that you take the time to post here at all and keep an eye on what people are doing and I thank you for it. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 18:30, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Although the document you include is unusable for anything in itself and doesn't have anything to do with the Czech warning it does provide a lot of information about the different companies and where they are registered. Thanks also for your support to the name change support with interesting arguments. Post any valid references you think I should see on your talk page or here and I'll take a look at them - it doesn't matter which language they're in. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 13:50, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Estonia

This article entitled "Who wants to be a millionaire? The Heavenly Railway lures Estonian people" concerns SkyWay Capital operations in Estonia. The original can be viewed here: .

The article was published in the Estonian news sender "Eesti Ekspress" on 7 November 2017 and its subheading translates to:

• Skyway Capital, a "new-generation" transport company of Russian origin, is looking for courageous (gullible) financiers from Estonia...

Unfortunately you can't see the whole article because it appears you have to have a subscription to see it. Does anyone have access to this text? –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 22:55, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Here follows the text to this article which documents aggressive sales techniques adopted by SkyWay and details concerning these techniques and the Estonian financial regulatory warning.

Who wants to become a millionaire? The Heavenly Railway lures Estonians (Eesti Ekspress - 7 November 2017)

Kes tahab saada miljonäriks? Taevaraudtee peibutab Eesti inimesi Who wants to become a millionaire? The Heavenly Railway lures Estonian people By Toivo Tänavsuu (7 November 2017) RIDING RICH! Skyway Capital, a "new-generation" transport company of Russian origin, is looking for courageous (gullible) financiers from Estonia, allowing them to have a serving of milk and honey. People and goods are moving smoothly, logically, and with a gentle twitch on the cobweb of rails and ropes built into the sky as a source of water. No natural pollution, traffic jams, accidents or stress. You are also lazing at the side of a pool without worry, enjoying holidays and delicious cocktails and thinking: the planet is cleaner and here is my hand in the game! How does it sound? About this future is announced by Skyway Capital, a company that develops cableway technology. A witty company has made a commitment to save the planet Earth and harbors simple investors as co-owners of the world's largest transport company. THE PERMITS ARE FANTASTIC For example, it is written that Skyway shares can now be purchased at a discount of up to 500 times. The company's website has a black-and-white promise: the investment has grown at least 1000 times over three to five years. "Lifetime Dividends" will come to the forefront of any project based on this technology that is being implemented anywhere in the world. Moreover, "independent experts" have already estimated the value of Skyway technology (still on paper and futuristic sketches) worth $ 400 billion! As it is serious, the need to make an investment decision immediately is emphasized. Because the future is bold, and the sooner the project comes, the bigger the bonuses will be. Here are also some examples of the investment world to continue to inspire. For example, the Skyway website writes how the value of a virtual eyewear manufacturer Oculus Company, like a rocket, has risen from zero to $ 2 billion in a year and a half. Also in 1976, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne founded Apple. Wayne had no faith in the venture, and he sold his stake with $ 800. Today it would be worth 50 billion. Or, in 1998, David Cheriton invested $ 100,000 in Google and is billionaire today. If you believe in the Skyway website, you can be a millionaire in the future with your Estonian average salary or pension. The company compares itself with Google and Apple. With no money to invest, Skyway shares can also be bought in installments! However, no mats can be accessed by the company on the investor's online environment. To do this, you must register and also have an "opener" inside. Entering the environment, a picture of all kinds of investment packages opens, one more appealing than the other. Diesel is simple: the more shares you buy, the better the price. The fatter the package, the cheaper the shares will be, and the more securities will be added as a bonus. You can start with a few hundred euros. For example, in a senior package, you get 32,000 shares for $ 400 a month, pay $ 50 a month, and if you believe in Skyway's promises, it's worth thousands in a few years. Separate packages are for the elderly, students, and for example parents to secure the future of their children. None of the risks involved in investing are even spoken in half a word. Skyway confirms that there are already thousands of projects planned, and the Skyways are supposedly planned in Brazil, India, Australia and Europe. Skyway was founded by an engineer, inventor and genius from Belarus ¬ Anatoly Yunitskiy. He came up with the idea 40 years ago when he was in the space industry. He thought it would be nice to ride along the heavenly railways (rails or ropes), up to a few dozen meters above the ground. The whole headaches of building on the ground (all that provokes resentment for Rail Baltica, for example), the poles that hold the skies in the sky can be quite far apart. Yunitskiy started quietly running the case. But at one point the people came together, opened the wallets and supported. In a few years now, EcoTehnoPark has been set up in the former land fill near Minsk, where the first railways are stationed and tested. The plan is to finish next year's tests and get the technology certified. Then there is a big explosion, and like a dam, a global mega-business is triggered. There are already thousands of projects in the SKYWAY APPROVAL, eagerly awaiting the end of the tests. The heavenly railways are said to be planned in Brazil, India, Australia and Europe. One of the biggest treasures of the day - to believe in the Skyway ¬ home page - will start on the London-Berlin-Moscow-Tokyo route - a 60 billion euro deal. In addition, it is about to travel around Australia, or Melbbourne-Sydney-Brisbane (€ 80 billion). Rails are also planned to be transported from Moscow via Minsk and Vilnius to the Kaliningrad and even the United Arab Emirates. There is no flaw in this technology. At least Skyway does not name them. Such transport is fast, inexpensive, green, safe, the route lasts for a hundred years and is usable everywhere (passing "through" mountains and rivers). At a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, you get half an hour from Tallinn to Tartu. And you enjoy what scenic views from there ... OCTOBER LAHATI SKYWAY's World Saving Mission at Tallinn TV Show "Matrix". Mihkel Liivakant and former deputy mayor of Tallinn, Vladimir Maslov, as a visionary, were nominated as guests. The Skyway website calls Maslov a team member. Both visitors welcomed the company to heaven and found that estisEstonia could be the first heavenly railroad, for example, in Tallinn, on Laagna road or on the harbor - city center - Tartu maantee. Stay tuned, Elon Musk, with your vacuum tube Hyperloop! Liivakant points out that even the Dalai Lama has given his positive energy to Skyway, and the first pilot project is set in his residence. As Skyway drives flies to people in many countries, it has allegedly had hundreds of thousands of investors who have contributed hundreds of millions of euros to the project. Vello, one of Skyway's financiers, was already exhorting Spring to not miss the best investment opportunity in life. "The world is bold and the risk is giving life a spice!" He wrote. According to Vello, he invests as much personal money as possible in Skyways and aims to get a total of one million shares. The man himself, along with the bus coach Estonians, went to Belarus to see the experiments in the summer, and after that, recommends that all family members and acquaintances "take away the packages". "The daughter was enough for three minutes - she did the package. At the moment, the shares are still in cents, but soon this thing will be spread around the world. Cashier investors will come in and you will probably be able to buy your shares in installments.” HOW TO CREATE A FIRMA INTO THE CONTACT NUMBER ON THE SOURCEE.EU FOR THE ESTONIA, Heli replies that he is working as a good advisor to Skyway. He has previously acted as a healer, provided training to "connect with higher frequencies with oscillating energy" to "transform his world as a co-creator." Heli says he has already invested "quite a lot" in SkyWay, taking "millions of shares". He says that every investment entails a risk, but he considers it "small" for this project. According to Heli, from 3000 to 4000 people have made investments in Estonia from Skyways. "There are businessmen, ordinary people, retirees, families have secured the future of their children." The woman talks thoroughly about developments in Belarus, where the speed of up to 102 km / h is already certified and there is currently a 22-kilometer track to test even the fastest sky trains. Actually, INSENER JUNITSKIL is even bigger with Skyway. If the entire planet Earth is covered with heavenly rails, it is planned to build a "funicular" to Earth's near-field or space! "But before Mother's land is done," the visionary Maslov holds back the euphoria. Investor Vello also admits that "real money comes from space". So Skyway's big plan is to build a few million kilometers of railways first on Earth and distribute the dividends from these investments into the construction of space routes. ESTONIAN FINANCIAL REGULATORY AGENCY HAS WARNED ABOUT SKYWAY Skyway came to the fore at the beginning of this year. The Inspectorate received a complaint from a senior woman who was aggressively offered the opportunity to invest in Skyways at a café. It was suggested that the investment can also be made for loan money. Kristjan-Erik Suurväli, Head of the Market Supervision Division of the Financial Supervision Authority, says that the company has no right to publicly raise money because it has not registered an investment prospectus. Skyway has also been warned by financial supervision in Lithuania and Belgium. There have been clear signs of a pyramid scheme - the benefits for the old are at the expense of new entrants. Maybe every investor builds his own happiness on his yard, adding new people to the system. In Lithuania, Anatoly Yunitskiy had a bigger annoyance a few years ago when he first wanted to set up a test area there, but was forced to leave the country on charges of money laundering and fraud. The trials continued in Belarus and Yunitskiy’s disciples see the conspiracy that happened.

This article was published in Latvian on the attempts of Yunitskiy to gain funding from Estonians: . The article was published on 5 November 2015 and a translation will follow if it provides new information not included in other references. Note that the title of this article translates as follows:

• A Russian entrepreneur is trying to seduce Estonians with a dubious 'future transport' project rejected in Lithuania

-Zachar (talk) 21:22, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Ethiopia

According to this article, SWIG (Sky Way Invest Group) held a sales meeting to officials in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia): .

"Sky Way Investment Group (SWIG) has pitched its ideas of a commercial cable train in Ethiopia – a globally new technology which is said to be less space consuming than the traditional railway construction. SWIG proposed the idea of installing the transportation facility in Ethiopia and the way of financing to Dagmawit Moges, Minister of Transport (MoT) as well as to officials at the Addis Ababa Transport Bureau."

A verbal agreement was apparently made. The company intends to get the general public to finance this project:

"The company intends to finance the development through public private partnerships where the general public will be able to invest in it."

Sound familiar? This has entered the article as a new 'negotation' but it is nothing of the sort. A motivated sales meeting followed by a verbal agreement is not the same as a negotiation. It is just a verbal arrangement after the Sky Way Invest Group make another sales pitch where they get officials to agree because the funding will come from small investors. If they enter the negotiation phase and sign formal documents, it can be included in negotiations and we need more than a single reference. I propose moving this to another instance of a 'motivated sales meeting or lecture' presented by the SkyWay Group. Zachar (talk) 09:25, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

• The following text was removed from the article until there is confirmation that they have actually entered formal negotiations.

In May 2019, SkyWay was reported to have proposed the construction of an aerial tramway in Addis Ababa. Ethiopian transportation officials were said to have shown interest in the idea, going to the extent of verbally agreeing to provide land for a pilot line.[Abdu, Brook (18 May 2019). "Company plans cable train for Ethiopia". The Reporter (Ethiopia). Retrieved 20 May 2019.]

Fiji

SWIG have planned a recruitment and sales meeting in Fiji on 18 June 2019 at the Defence Club, 15 Gordon Street, Suva. The presenters here are Neil Morrisson well-known from SWIG events in New Zealand and Leroy Tripp. Here's a text they use to advertise this event:

"SkyWay Invest Group welcomes you to the World of Financial Literacy... For too long this information has been a well kept secret and only shared with the few, instead of being taught in our education systems... We will share ways to replace your current income and become financially free, give back, and leave a legacy. We can also show you how to build a business from this unique opportunity and partner with a company that offers extraordinary products, tools for you to succeed in the real world, and an opportunity to build a diverse portfolio?... We support SkyWay Technologies, an innovative new eco friendly transport system, set to take the WORLD by storm in the very near future. Let us show you how to obtain co-ownership of this new technology as a bonus! You'll want to be a part of this!"

Ghana

Skyway Capital has extended its operations into Ghana to attract unsuspecting small investors. They are represented on the social media.

A recruitment meeting was held 1 June in Accra at the following location:

Please publish any information you find on the activities of this company in Ghana. Recent developments on social media have to be considered as well as press articles because social media is how this company Is extending its marketing into this country. Zachar (talk) 09:11, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Still unsourced article on the SkyWay scandal in India that is still to be verified. It's in English and was published in 'The Times of India' July 21 - 2017

BJP leader attacks minister over skyway skyway project

• https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/bjp-leader-attacks-minister-over-skyway-project/articleshow/59690474.cms — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaxander (talk • contribs) 22:56, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Advice requested: because of changes to title heading, the Dharamsala project is now in a heading entitled 'abandoned projects'. We now have 2 articles on India/SkyWay negotiations. Neither of them say that the project has been 'abandoned'. They question its validity. The Norwegian article suggests that this project is still planned in 2020. I suggest until we have confirmation otherwise, we move India to 'Future projects'. I also suggest we follow the Indonesian model and call it 'planned projects' not 'future projects'; they are after all planned projects. Planned projects happen in the future but 'future projects' could mean a lot of things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaxander (talk • contribs) 11:20, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

• Another reference on SkyWay in India including detailed information about the MoU and other negotiations from 9 May 2017 in 'India Today':

–Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 14:43, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Indonesia

There is no information about it at all, meanwhile there was period when Skyway was producing a lot of news and their managers signed MoU there and told about $42 billion projects. It was terminated and Skyway alleged that Indonesian partners did nothing to promote Skyway in the region and stole money. Let's collect verifiable sources here. At the same time Indonesian partners said that company was frozen because of public complaints. Unfortunately it is in Indonesian. Google translations: "Mufli Asmawijaya, as the Chairperson of OJK Advocacy through telephone confirmation also suggested that companies in Indonesia immediately announce their freeze, given that there had been a lot of complaints from the public regarding several MLM offerings that had been selling investment products"

• Indonesian source:
• Here is Skyway version:

Dron007 (talk) 17:18, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

@Dron07 - I actually studied Indonesia and lived there so I'll check out these references. Thanks for this. I changed the article already to mention that they are in negotiation with the SkyWay companies in Indonesia. -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 22:33, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

There are the main facts suggested in the article:

• Negotiations between Indonesia and the SkyWay Group were finally stopped in 2018.
• News of the resignation of the director of 'PT Skyway Technologies Indonesia' was repressed by the mother company in Belarus.
• According to the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK), complaints had been made by the public about investment products being offered and because of the misinformation about the company this had to be made clear.
• This misinformation propagated by Skyway involved failure to inform the public about the cancellation of Skyway projects in Turkey, Australia and Indonesia.
• The OJK also confirmed that no SkyWay companies has ever registered officially in Indonesia.
• 'PT Skyway Technologies Indonesia' were apparently planning a project of 'sky trains' at the Jorong Port in Kalimantan.

-Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 23:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Here is a new verifiable reference on the operations of the SkyWay in Indonesia. I found it in the Norwegian Wikipedia article. It concerns collaboration between UI (University of Indonesia) and Skyway:

• https://www.merdeka.com/teknologi/gandeng-skyway-indonesia-ui-akan-bangun-kereta-langit.html

−Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 10:56, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

This article discusses collaboration between 'Universitas Indonesia' and PT SkyWay Technologies Indonesia. 'PT' is an acronym for 'perseroan terbatas' which means 'limited company'. In 2017 an MoU was signed between the UI in West Java and this company. There is no indication that this specific project has been realized. According to the more recent reference all collaborations between SkyWay and Indonesia were cancelled. Unfortunately it didn't actually mention the MoU in West Java. It seemed important, however, to bring up the arrangements between UI and SkyWay in the article because it's mentioned in the Norwegian Wikipedia SkyWay article. They introduce it as a 'planned project'. These recent changes to the cancelled projects needs to be assessed however because I'm not actually sure that when the second article says that 'all projects are cancelled' it means the UI negotiations because a university isn't really a company and it doesn't mention specifically either the MoU or West-Java; it mentions a city in Kalimantan which is part of the island of Borneo. It could be that Indonesia belongs in either the 'postponed' or 'planned' projects; I just don't know. In any case, this article confirms that the Indonesian SkyWay limited company is part of the SkyWay Group: it mentions Yunitskiy personally and discusses the benefits of his SkyWay technology in detail. It also discusses the EcoTechnoPark in Belarus. Anyone interested in this translation can request it on my talk page. Interestingly, the SkyWay website mentions the Jorong port (which has been cancelled in the meantime) but doesn't specifically mention collaboration with the UI. Request for clarification on this subject. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 23:03, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

In this reference the Indonesian finance regulatory agency OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) warns about 57 different companies that have been banned and which investors could lose their money on. SkyWay is the second company on this list: . IMHO it's safe to extend the list of countries that have released warnings about SkyWay can include Indonesia. -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 17:43, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

He explained, the memorandum of understanding was held at the Best Western Hotel Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Friday (1/12/2017). SkyWay Technologies Indonesia is currently starting to explore commercial area projects in Jorong Port, as an integrated industrial and port area that is part of the National Strategic Project (PSN). "Jorong is the center of the country. They are ready with all the basic conditions that are supposed to be there," he explained. The Indonesian Infrastructure Society (MII) was chosen to be invited to cooperate because it has supported SkyWay from an academic perspective. Infrastructure professionals. "Those who we later involve when we make feasibility studies. Including studies relating to Indonesian transportation infrastructure," Madina explained. In terms of technology, he continued, the innovation that received the Habitat and Golden Chariot UN awards was an elevated or floating transportation system. The President Director of Jorong Port, Wisnu Soehardjo, added that his side welcomed the cooperation. He admitted, his party had already planned to develop integrated transportation infrastructure in the Jorong area. "We already have port one, then there is a train then there is a highway highway Kalimantan highway, there is an airport. All of this we plan to integrate," said Wisnu.

Italy

Here follows a summary and complete translation of the verifiable Italian article concerning a project in the Sicilian city of Messina and the shady history of the Skyway group, dated 20 July 2018:

SKYWAY the flying tram company which has never realized a project

http://www.letteraemme.it/2018/07/20/sky-way-lazienda-del-tram-volante-che-non-ha-mai-realizzato-un-progetto/

The primary purpose of the article is to suggest why any collaboration between the SkyWay group and the large Sicilian city of Messina would be inadvisable.

In an effort to do this the article details the history of the SkyWay group companies, the involvement of Kunitsky as director, the controversies in Lithuania and India, their questionable use of crowdfunding, and information about the banning of these practices by CONFOB – an official Italian government organisation.

'Concise summary of the facts Here is a concise summary of the most important facts in the article:

• Anatoly Yunitsky is the director of the SkyWay group which has companies registered under a wide variety of business names in London, Minsk and the Virgin Islands (a well-known tax haven).
• SkyWay has never realised an actual project anywhere. Existing proof consists of computer-generated images and a demonstration model in Belarus.
• It’s currently illegal for any of the SkyWay group to sell shares in Australia, Canada, Japan, Russia and the United States.
• There were many other SkyWay companies around the world promoting this technology which have since been dissolved. Current directors of the company deny having been involved with any of them.
• India and Lithuania have been involved in shady financial dealings with the SkyWay group. In 2017 a proposed project in Lithuania was suspected of financial fraud through the illegal sale of shares, and was cancelled. In May 2017, however, the investigations were stopped after they decided they couldn’t prosecute the company.
• In 2007 and 2018 specialists of the Moscow State University of Railway Engineering gave a negative assessment of this technology. In 2010 a project was cancelled in Australia before the planning started.
• The companies have applied controversial ‘crowdfunding’ techniques since 2014. They make lofty claims to individual citizens and promise extremely lucrative returns at some unspecified time in the future if you invest your money today.
• In January 2018 The Italian Companies and Exchange Commission CONFOB – a governmental organisation – banned the advertisement and sale of SkyWay shares in Italy.
• There are precedents in the past for questionable investments of foreigners in Italian infrastructure, including Indian and Arab investors whose projects were suspended.
• The mayor of Messina has been discussing possible collaborations with the SkyWay group as part of his electoral campaign.

It's a very long article, and seeing that I've included above all the major facts from this verifiable source, it seemed to me to unnecessary to confuse the talkpage with unnecessary information that can be checked elsewhere.

• Here we have new article in Business Insider Italia (in Itallian) which looks like an excellent secondary source about regulatory warnings and many other aspects of Skyway activity. Dron007 (talk) 01:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

More information on the Business Insider Italia article: ATTACCÀTI AL TRAM

Attaccàti al tram… Dal Pirellone a Messina, gli italiani che hanno abboccato alla fantomatica monorotaia da 500 kmh di SkyWay

Attack on the tram ... From the Pirellone to Messina, the Italians who took the SkyWay's elusive 500 kmh monorail

"Cities bursting with traffic? No problem, the SkyWay company has the solution: to buy one of its monorails that make speeding cars at 15 meters high at 500 kilometers an hour, with a frequency of one every 15 seconds. Moreover, the plants cost 20% less than a normal subway and are totally green ... It seems like a dream, but it is the "real" proposal that the Belarusian company has been promoting for years now to heads of state, transport ministers and local administrations of half the world. Too bad that such facilities do not actually exist on the planet Earth." -Zachar (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

But you do manage to ignore the success of the company. You wrote that yunitskiy words about the speed of 500 km/h were not confirmed by anything. But I read that this speed is potentially achievable. And such data are available on the results of tests in the wind tunnel. I will try to request information from the test center or certificate from the company. And I do not understand why the proposal user @Derehosrescalo to use documents and open sources you consider unacceptable. At the same time regarding the declared speed you require supporting documents? This is wrong.Vinsent Bryant (talk) 08:32, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

ITALIAN SKYWAY NEGOTIATIONS

There were actually three negotiations in Italy none of which seem to have left the negotiation stages. Seeing that all emphasis is now put on development in the UAE, you can probably safely say these negotiations have been postponed or cancelled.

[1] Brianza – region in the North-West of Lombardy (between Milan and Lake Como)

Negotiations were held at the Pirelli Tower in Milan with SkyWay and they were invited to present a feasibility project for a cable car between Cologno Monzese and Vimercate. These negotiations took place in March 2019.

[2] Republic of San Marino – small enclaved microstate situated in Northern Italy

The Secretary of State for this region met Yunitskiy in Belarus in March 2018 and signed a Protocol of Intent (Memorandum of Understanding) for the construction of the San Marino-Rimini connection. Controversy during other negotations in Italy and the Consob warnings led to this project being questioned by the authorities.

[3] Messina – third largest city on the Italian island of Sicily.

The mayor of Messina used the “the flying tram” as an election campaign issue to solve the regions mobility problems. His plans were proposed in June 2018.

In early 2018 negotiations took place in Italy. The Secretary of State for the Republic of San Marino signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the EcoTechnoPark in Belarus in March 2018 for the construction of the San Marino-Rimini line. The mayor of the Sicilian city Messina also used SkyWay's "flying trams" to promote his electoral campaign. Both negotiatians were postponed or cancelled because of concerns brought up the Italian regulatory agency Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB)

In March 2019, Brianza - a region in North-West Lombardy - invited SkyWay to present a feasibility project for a cable car between Cologno Monzese and Vimercate. Due to controversy surrounding the company these negotiations have been postponed.

Piedi a Villa San Giovanni (8 July 2018) article on the SkyWay Messina negotiations

https://www.tempostretto.it/news/utopie-realt-skyway-tram-volante-messinesi-piedi-villa-san-giovanni.html Piedi a Villa San Giovanni Walk to Villa San Giovanni By Marco Ipsale (8 July 2018) [photo of computer-generated image of SkyWay towering above a highway] TEXT: A technology that has never been applied, a project that raises a thousand legitimate perplexities. Meanwhile, the people of Messina lack the basic transport services "Our idea of suspended mobility, which in the electoral campaign received not a few criticisms and in some cases also easy ironies, remains a staple for the De Luca Administration." Words of Deputy Mayor Salvatore Mondello, who participated in a meeting in Reggio Calabria, on the presentation of the "Metro Aspromonte" idea-project, which was also attended by "Skyway" technology experts. What is it? "A system - again in the words of Mondello - that moves at high speed, in elevated, for urban and extra-urban transport, with the possibility of reaching even places with particular access criticalities and a contained cost of construction compared to traditional railway". And let's go see it, then, this "Skyway" technology. The only references on the net, in addition to those of various presentations in different parts of the world without one having materialized, are those of the skywayinvestgroup internet site and the relative Facebook page, where a crowdfunding is also launched, that is to say the possibility to participate in a collective loan. Then only so much publicity. From these unique sources, it is clear that in 2014, in Marjina Horka, in Belarus, a museum park was built right on the Skyway, where its operation is shown, and that its creator, the engineer Anatoly Yunitskiy, studies the system since the early 1980s. The only agreement we are talking about, obviously without any confirmation, is on the Italian sponsored pages and on skyway.capital, a subsidiary company that proposes investments in the project and promises an economic return. It is discussed in multi-level marketing forums and blogs: "The greatest technological innovation of the 21st century" and "a great opportunity", according to some, "Schema Ponzi" according to others, namely, as defined by Wikipedia, an "economic model of fraudulent sales that promises strong profits to the victims provided they recruit new investors, themselves victims of fraud". The agreement would concern the Indian government, for a sum of 890 million dollars, thanks also to the support of the Dalai Lama, who does not understand what he has to do with it, "witnessed" by a photo on Facebook of the Tibetan spiritual authority next to Yunitskiy , which clearly does not prove anything, with a link that leads to a page ... with pictures of dogs (sic). "The speed of the rolling stock - we find out again - can reach up to 500 kilometers per hour", perhaps useful for going from Torre Faro to Giampilieri in three minutes. But the Messina project would be more moderate: speed of "only" 70/80 km / h, 15 minutes for the 15 km route from Ganzirri to Pistunina, with 12 intermediate stops. Cost between 120 and 130 million. An even more "curious" project if you compare it to the current Messina tramline, 8 km (therefore half) and 18 stops (the triple, in proportion). A line that will surely be improved, but which is however appreciated by the people of Messina, as shown by the constant increase in passengers in recent years, and that has nothing to do with the "innovative" project. Leaving aside the Skyway, the suspended monorail exists in very few cities in the world. And, for the most part, it is in use for very short journeys. In Memphis, for example, in Tennessee, it is just 500 meters, then it is present only in Germany and Japan, here too with short routes. In Tokyo only 300 meters, in Dortmund only on the university campus, in Dusseldorf only between the station and the airport. A real public transport service with this system, in practice, exists in only three cities in the world: Chiba (in Japan, 15 km and 18 stops), between Kamakura and Fujisawa (also in Japan, 6 and a half kilometers, 8 stops), in Wuppertal (in Germany, 13 km and 20 stations). That of Messina would therefore be the longest in the world, like that of Chiba. But for the De Luca administration, as reaffirmed by Mondello, the project remains "a fixed point", which has so far received too many criticisms and easy ironies. Like that of someone who created a Facebook page entitled "Daily updates on the Messina monorail", which still has more likes, to date 471, than the Skyway Italia Facebook page, which like it has so far 332. Even wanting to take the project as a good thing, and the many perplexities are a must, it is good to underline and reiterate that it has never materialized, except in a few similar cases, and that, if ever it will see the light, it will do so in many years. Criticisms and ironies, therefore, are legitimate, all the more so if one thinks that he is speaking again at the same time as an important news recently disclosed by the UIL: the Ministry would have given the green light to a new public shipping company together with RFI , with the sale of the Bluferries branch of the company, envisaged by the last budget of the Gentiloni government, which contemplates territorial continuity not only for trains but, finally, also for pedestrians. To date, between Messina and Villa, there are only nine daily return trips, which become just six on weekends and holidays. And many passengers are forced to take advantage of the alternative provided by private individuals that, among other things, as soon as the new port of Tremestieri is ready, there will be no more. The cost of today's service is around 3 million, against collections of 700 thousand euros, while with the new company there would be an investment of 4 million and 600 thousand euros and increased travel with an extra hydrofoil. Unless it is the same money already provided by the service contract with RFI, because otherwise everything would be at the expense of the train service. According to the Uil, an investment of at least 8 million is needed to have a good frequency of races, above all in coincidence with the trains that move to and from central-northern Italy. And that's what politics must spend on this. Today, in 2018, while there are those who think of a suspended monorail ever built in the world, the people of Messina are forced to walk, under water and wind or in the strong sun, the distance between the private moorings and the Villa station Saint John. And every day it is a continuous coming and going of Messina, often with suitcase in tow, on a journey on uneven asphalt, small pavements, holes and lava stone paving. For the elderly or people with reduced mobility it is a possibility not to be taken into consideration. A shame unworthy of a civilized country.

Quest monorotaia non esiste (12 June 2019) This monorail does not exist

https://www.ilpost.it/2019/06/12/skyway-monorotaia-investimenti/ Questa monorotaia non esiste 12 June 2019 This monorail does not exist It's called SkyWay and has attracted the interest of local administrations and small investors, but according to many it is a financial scam that has already involved several people The idea presented by SkyWay advertisements is to build a cable car suspended fifteen meters from the ground, with wagons traveling at 500 kilometers per hour: a cable car that does not pollute, costs less than an equivalent subway line and could solve the traffic problems of our cities. Its inventor, the mysterious Belarusian engineer Anatoly Yunitskiy, says the project has already involved governments across the world. In Italy the municipality of Messina, the province of Monza and Brianza, the Lombardy region led by the League and the government of San Marino were interested in the project. Thousands of other Italians have seen the insertions of another service offered by Yunitskiy and one of its companies, SkyWay Invest Group, which offers financial training courses and stock packages of SkyWay which, the promotional material says, will multiply in value as soon as the company "will enter the global market". In reality, there are only a few hundred meters of metropolitan flying cable cars in the world: a short experimental section built just outside Minsk, in Belarus. Almost all the states and local governments that came into contact with SkyWay, on the other hand, quickly abandoned the project. Regarding the financial offer, the financial control authorities of half the world, including the Italian ones, have warned against buying it or even banned it: it would indeed be a deceptive product, a scam based on the well-known Ponzi scheme. The first time that SkyWay appeared in Italy is probably in the spring of 2018, when the candidate for mayor of Messina, Cateno De Luca, a representative of a center coalition, presented himself at an event of his election campaign accompanied by three managers and consultants of the company Belarusian, all Italians, announcing that they have reached an agreement to "revolutionize" the city's tram system. De Luca won the elections, but nothing was heard of the project. The relationship between the company and the municipality must have tightened up a lot, because a month ago the deputy mayor of Messina told the Fatto Quotidiano: "With us they have no contract, no pre-contract or agreement and we distrust anyone from supporting this". Those of Messina are not the only local administrators to have met SkyWay on their way. The company's Wikipedia page mentions meetings with representatives of the governments of Australia, Lithuania, Slovakia, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and India. In Lombardy SkyWay emissaries met Fabio Meroni, provincial councilor of Monza and Brianza of the League (who said he heard about the company for the first time during the presentation of a book on UFOs in Lissone), and through him they arrived up to the Lombardy Transport commission. But apart from the experimental line outside Minsk, not a single kilometer of underground cable car was built. Reconstructing who is behind these companies is not easy. The most important character seems to be Anatoly Yunitskiy, a Belarusian engineer who is very active on social networks and always ready to defend his companies. He recently launched a petition on Change.org to shut down some sites that called his operation a scam. One of these sites is run by one of his former collaborators, Pavel Vladyka. According to Vladyka, Yunitskiy has set up a real international fraud with the help of professional scammers involved in "MMM", one of the most famous international scams of the last 30 years. Yunitskiy denies any accusation and claims to be only a visionary and inspired businessman. In a recent tweet, for example, he advises Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, and Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and Space X, to abandon rocket-based space exploration. Yunitskiy seems to manage a corporate entanglement made up of Chinese boxes with offices in tax havens. These societies open and close with a certain frequency and in an attempt to make sense of the picture it is easy to get confused. Business Insider Italy has tried to map these companies and discovered some interesting things. At the head of the empire is the founder of "Skyway Technologies" (eye to the names of companies), Anatoly Yunitskiy, who defines himself: "an engineer, author and general designer of a radically new type of transport systems called Unitskiy String Transport », destined to revolutionize the world. Yunitskiy, according to Business Insider, presented his project for the first time in Russia, where a short experimental section just outside Moscow was built and then dismantled. However, a report by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Moscow in 2008 described it as impractical and dangerous for passengers. Since then, relations between Yunitskiy and Russia have never been heard. Meanwhile, the founder of SkyWay had begun to propose his idea to governments across the world, but without ever achieving great success. At one point it seems that Yunitskiy has decided to change strategy, aiming to raise the money needed for his works through a global crowdfunding campaign. For this purpose he, or some of his collaborators, began to create a series of companies with offices in tax havens such as the British Virgin Islands and Saint Lucia. The idea is to push ordinary people to buy shares in the SkyWay group, waiting for those same actions to multiply their value because of the sure successes of the transport system. "You buy company shares at a discount that is up to 500 times less than their face value, and when the company enters the global market, you will get a capitalization of 1,000% or more," said one of the promotional sites. But the fundraising campaign must not have had the expected success, because shortly afterwards Yunitskiy launched another project: through the SkyWay Invest Group, also based in Santa Lucia, it started offering financial training courses for a fee. "While creating the SkyWay Invest Group brand", writes Yunitskiy in one of his numerous sites, "we aimed to combine two projects: the educational investment project of Academy Private Investment and the high-tech project Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Ltd". In other words, Yunitskiy not only has the dream of creating a new sustainable and economic transport system, but says he also wants to help people improve their knowledge of the financial world. Here, however, his dreams intersect with the financial legislation and anti-fraud regulations of many countries. The returns promoted in the sites that advertise the initiative are simply impossible to achieve: we are talking about 1,000 per cent in three years, 22 per cent per day. Absurd figures that usually conceal scams or other attempts to deceive people who are weaker and less informed. As soon as the financial authorities started investigating SkyWay's promotional material, they discovered numerous irregularities. In Italy, for example, CONSOB, the guarantor of the stock exchange, has discovered that what was passed off as a financial training course was actually an excuse to buy shares of the company surreptitiously and build ranks of shareholders on a pyramid basis. Half a dozen sites were blocked by CONSOB for misleading advertising and for providing false information. In all, the supervisory authorities of at least ten different countries have warned against investing money in society.

Kuwait

In 4-5 May 2018 a SWIG sales and recruitment conference was held in Kuwait to promote investment. The main guest-speaker wss Mila Serdjukova who is a skyway investor and also an employee of 'Global Transnet UK Ltd.', a SkyWay Group shell company registered in London. This event was held under the name of another SkyWay shell company, the First Skyway Invest Group Limited, which is generally associated with Skyway Capital (see FSMA warning). According to SkyWay promotion, this was the first event held in Kuwait, and it was held at Crown Plaza, Farwaniya. -Zachar (talk) 18:06, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Latvia

From October 19 to 22 2017, Latvian citizens had the opportunity to look at the SkyWay-scale model of the future city air transport at the exhibition "Environment and Energy 2017" in Kipsala. Read about it here:

In April 2018 the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC/FKTK) of Latvia repeatedly warned about the illegal sales of shares. Read about it here: . Latvians were encouraged to contact the police if they had been approached. An article was published on 5 May 2018 about a 'shareholder' who apparently owned shares in the company. The title of this article translates to: "SRS employee Gargazeviča has declared 2.04 million euros in investment fund shares". Here is some more of this article:

• Gargazevič has declared its holdings of investment funds in the amount of USD 2 371 870 (EUR 2 038 138)... In its 2016 declaration, Gargazeviča stated that she owns the "Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Holding Ltd." registered in the British Virgin Islands. shares worth $ 888,155 (€ 763,188) and UK registered "First SkyWay Invest Group Ltd." $ 893,180 (€ 767,506). The total value of the shares owned by Gargazevič in 2016 was EUR 1,530,694.

This article which also concerns this shareholder suggests that Gargazevič has actually invested 4000 euros in various SkyWay companies and that she would only be able to get money from her shares if the company was successful. Read this article for more information: -Zachar (talk) 17:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

This article explains in more detail the ‘stake’ Gargazeviča has in SkyWay Group companies based in offshore locations: the point here is that although these shares are supposedly worth more than two million euros, the actual shareholder only has a wage of 14,046 (EUR) a year and she spent in total around $4000 on the shares. These inflated values of the shares she has are based on unrealistic assumptions about how successful the company could become. In actual fact seeing that the technology is untested and uncertified and it will not be built anywhere, even if these shares are valid they aren't worth anything. The article also includes useful information about the Siauliai scandal and the Lithuanian financial regulatory agency warning. A translation of this article is uncollapsable below.

The total value of the shares owned by Gargazevič in 2016 was EUR 1,530,694. Also in the 2015 declaration, Gargazeviča, as its owner, has quoted the shares of Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Holding Ltd. for $ 741,600 (€ 637,254), “First SkyWay Invest Group Ltd.” shares for $ 178,350 (€ 153,255). and shares in RSW Investment Group Ltd., registered in the British Virgin Islands, valued at USD 136,555 (EUR 117,341). The total value of the shares owned by Gargazevič in 2015 was 907 850 euros. In the salary, SRS Gargazeviča received 14,046 euros last year. Gargazeviča also owns real estate in land and buildings in Daugavpils, as well as an apartment in Daugavpils for use. The State Revenue Service (SRS) explains to the portal LA.lv that Gargazevič has regular inspections of this fact every year. The total amount she has invested in funds such as Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Holdings, First Skyway Invest Group LTD, RSW Investment Group LTD is around 4,000 euros. These funds call for a high risk investment project, promising to develop innovative transport technologies. If the project were to be successful, the investors would receive the accumulated funds. The stated millions are the value of Gargazevič's investment shares at the discretion of the fund itself. She could only get this money physically if the project promised by the funds really did happen, the SRS said. The SRS emphasizes that for certain companies, the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC) of several European countries has made a warning, pointing out the possible risks of a financial pyramid. The Latvian FCMC has also issued a warning last year and in April this year. The SRS has no right to influence and distances itself from employees' private choices to invest their private money. It is important for the service that it does not create a conflict of interest or risks of corruption. Agency LETA has already reported that in April this year the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC) repeatedly warned about services offered by SkyWay Capital or First Skyway Invest Group Ltd on its website "skyway.capital/lv/". The FCMC stated that the company did not have the right to invite residents to invest in its capital without appropriate authorization. In the event of loss or suspicion of fraud, the FCMC invited citizens to address the police. A year ago, at the end of March 2017, the Commission warned about the services provided by SkyWay Capital. In November 2015, it was reported that the UK-based Russian entrepreneur Anatoly Yunitskiy's Rail Skyway Systems company in Lithuania, alongside the Airbase for Socks, which is based on the NATO Baltic air policing mission, was planning to build an experimental transport testing laboratory, actively hunting small investors and promising them a fabulous investment return. Siauliai City Council had already signed an investment and land lease agreement with the unclear capital company “Rail Skyway Systems”, but the Seimas opposition raised these Russian citizen plans and Prime Minister Alģirds Butkevičs received special service information about the planned investments, as well as a recommendation to cancel the agreement . This was ultimately done even though the Mayor of Siauliai saw in the treaty a great advantage for the city - new jobs and unprecedented investments that would exceed the municipal budget several times. The Lithuanian Financial Crime Investigation Service (FNTT) launched a pre-trial investigation into possible fraud, illegal economic, commercial and financial activities and money laundering. True, Yunitskiy did not succeed because he had already left Lithuania. According to the Lithuanian portal “Vz.lt” in 2014, there is news on the Internet that the concept of Yunitskiy String Transport aims to create a new model of transport system, on which the rails of tension rails at a certain height above the ground can be driven on the supports, at which the vehicles can travel at 500 kilometers per hour. The UK-based Yunitskiy company Rail Skyway Systems Ltd., on its website, has had the ambition to make a breakthrough in aviation, rail transport and road transport. The most modest project in the value of four billion euros was to build a high-speed string track for Moscow-Minsk-Vilnius-Kaliningrad, a billion more expensive project to be implemented in the United Arab Emirates, and the biggest hopes for linking Europe and Australia for Yunitskiy are the London-Berlin-Moscow route adds up to € 60 billion in brackets “and beyond to Tokyo”, while the most expensive project in Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane is estimated at € 80 billion.

Lithuania

The scandal in Lithuania is complex and deserves a responsible description in the text. Unverifiable references and misleading text has just been removed. In an effort to do the issue justice I read the four verifiable articles, including the one in Lithuanian which I translated with Google. All the articles say pretty much the same thing. Here's a summary of what I understood (most of it was never mentioned or was deliberately distorted in the article): [1] Officials in the municipality of Siauliai started negotiating with SkyWay in 2014 and as such land was designated for use near a NATO based somewhere in the municipality; [2] The whole affair became embroiled in a corruption scandal when about 360 thousand euros was transferred by SkyWay into somebody's bank account; [3] Because of this the Bank of Lithuania started an investigation and the deal was prematurely concluded; [4] Eventually the prosecutor's office decided that although they could not prosecute the SkyWay group for being a pyramid scheme, that their methods of financing were highly suspect and for this reason Lithuania should have nothing to do with the company. Before recent adjustment, the second paragraph seemed to include a lot of unnecessary information justifying the actions of SkyWay by emphasizing the fact that they were exonerated from being a pyramid scheme. But that is hardly relevant here: even if that's true the Bank of Lithuania still started an investigation, found that the company was involved in shady practices and stopped the deal because of the illegal sale of shares. Although the investigation eventually ended and one of their conclusions was that they couldn't actually prosecute the company for the specifics of a pyramid scheme, this hardly exonerates the company from wrong-doing. They go out of their way to emphasise the fact that the investigation was stopped on May 26th 2017 and that this was because of their decision that there was no pyramid scheme. This is simply not true. I can't actually find this specific date anywhere in the four verifiable references and it hardly seems important. But I've concluded the paragraph with a sentence stating that the prosecutor's office decided to stop its investigations in May 2017. In the light of this information the whole story should be rewritten and told in a consequent fashion. Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 11:00, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

I translated the Lithuanian article into English.

Bank of Lithuania: signs of fraud in the activities of A. Yunitskiy promising “air trains”

By Šarūnas Černiauskas, www.DELFI.lt [DELFI is the primary news portal in Lithuania] September 18 2014

https://www.delfi.lt/verslas/verslas/lietuvos-bankas-oro-traukinius-zadancio-a-junickio-veikloje-sukciavimo-pozymiai.d?id=65880462

You can view this translation at the user:Zaxander talk page. It specifically implicates that Yunitskiy founded the various companies in the SkyWay Groups in London and Lithuania. It is also very specific about him being the primary shareholder. Furthermore it mentions him in every single paragraph. It hardly mentions the technology itself. Its source of information is Vaidas Cibas, the 'Head of the Regulated Market Supervision Division of the Bank of Lithuania Supervision Authority'. The research seems to be very thorough. They conclude that they will share this information widely among international supervisory authorities "so that it is known in all countries that this company is engaged in illegal activities".

• Lithuanian article on the SkyWay scandal "String Transport Contract at the Centre of a Scandal"

http://www.snaujienos.lt/miesto-gyvenimas/30184-sutartis-dl-styginio-transporto-skandalo-centre.html

Looks like it's a governmental publication of Siauliu region. Anyone want to verify and translate it? –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 22:51, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Here follows a summary of a translation of this article. It describes in detail the actual negotiations that were undertaken between the municipality of Siauliai and the SkyWay Group BEFORE the Bank of Lithuania suggested that the Prosecutor's Office start an investigation into this company. Information about the negotiations could be extended by making use of facts like these:

• The Siauliai province was involved in a scandal when they started negotiations with the SkyWay company in 2014.
• The Siauliai City Municipality signed an investment agreement with SkyWay and allocated a 30-hectare plot of land; they were planning to building a “string transport laboratory and a test track” there.
• Controversy started when opposing politicians suggested that collaboration with SkyWay would pose a threat to “the security of our state and NATO”; Andrius Kubilius leader of the opposition turned to the Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence with fears of “a Russian-led shield organization based on the methods of operation of Russian special services directed against NATO and Lithuania”. He claimed that by approving this project Siauliai was “ignoring Russia’s aggressive policy towards not only the Ukraine but also against the Baltic states”.
• The Mayor of the city Justinas Sartauskas was accused of signing this agreement without receiving permission from the national land service, checking the company’s capital or without consulting the Ministry of Defence.
• The String Transport project also showed signs of corruption. A million litas (about 360 thousand euros) was added to the municipal bank account of Siauliai. According to Sartauskas these claims were unfounded. This money was transferred to guarantee the costs that would be incurred by pre-allocating this land to the SkyWay company test-site, ensuring no harm would be done to the city: “If they did not fulfill the terms of the contract, we would simply deduct the costs from that million”.

–Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 15:18, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

• If we need more reliable sources acout this case here they are: (about the reasons of project cancelling) (latest news, rejection to pay $10 million compensation to Rail Skyway System). Dron007 (talk) 15:58, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

NEGOTATIONS TEXT: proposed extension to the text based on facts listed above in the Siauliai scandal.

"During negotiations with the SkyWay Group the municipality of Siauliai in Lithuania became involved in a scandal. An investment agreement was signed, a piece of land was pre-allocated to a SkyWay test-site and a large sum of money was transferred to the municipality's bank accounts to guarantee against loss to the city. The mayor was later crticised for signing this contract without receiving permission from the national land service, checking the company’s capital or consulting the Ministry of Defence and the project was finally cancelled at the end of 2014." –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 07:46, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Here is another article on the investigation of the Yunitskiy by the Lithuanian authorities. It is a DELFI article entitied "History of Siauliai Sky Trains: Yunitskiy became a suspect" from 25 March 2015 and comments on the fact that "the pre-trial invstigation into SkyWay is gaining momentum" and concludes that Yunitskiy himself had departed from Lithuania and was not coming back. See the article here: –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 14:20, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Another article concerning the Lithuania controversy. Here it is made clear: in 2014 an issue was warned by the Bank of Lithuania for the operations of the company "Euroasian Rail Skyway Systems Ltd.". In Siauliai, however, negotiations were held with the company "Rail SkyWay Systems Ltd." and this SkyWay test facility was cancelled for different reasons. Read the original article here published 23 August 2017: .

Why do you seek for creating the appearance of negative “conclusion” made on the ground of old outdated suspicions in Lithuanian language placed from beginning to the end? An enhanced investigation conducted during 3 years was off. The Prosecution concluded that no fraud SkyWay activity evidences was found. It’s obviously that conflict was related to domination of Siemens in that country. 061 However now the project is successfully developed in Belarus, where the EcoFest visitors could take a ride on Unibus 32 33 and in OAE 34 Please note: all this was designed, engineered, developed and built from zero within 5 years for finances of small investors.--George Marshal (talk) 12:21, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

The conclusion drawn about the domination of Siemans is just Yunitskiy's opinion as confirmed in this reference republished on SkyWay promotion sites as fact: "Yunitsky has repeatedly stated that the conflict with the Lithuanian authorities may be associated with the dominance of the industry branch competitor of string transport - Siemens." 061. Although Yunitskiy sued the Lithuanian government, his case was dismissed and the Bank of Lithuania rereleased its warning about the fraudulent activity of the SkyWay Group. Being able to ride a unicar at the EcoTechnoPark doesn't change the facts documented in the Delfi and Baltic Course articles, both from news senders verified in Lithuania. Using the money of small-investors to fund a 'test-site' on a Belarusian farm is nothing to be proud of. This park has received no officially accredited scientific evaluation or testing, but nonetheless a lot of money has been spent to create promotion opportunites which are shared across the internet to attract people at home who don't know enough about investment to understand this company is illegally selling them investment products which have no actual value (as confirmed and reconfirmed by multiple references, including the Onliner.by articles from Belarus, the Geldthemen.de articles from Germany, the Primechaniya articles from Russia and the Volga News articles from the Crimea). Let the EcoTechnoPark be officially tested by nationally recognized bodies so we can base our judgement on something external to self-published sources. Any claims Yunitskiy makes about his technology 'self-funded by small investors' have to be read as self-published promotion until he allows independent testing of his technology. –Zachar (talk) 13:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Malaysia

Motivated sales and recruitment meetings for SkyWay Group events have been documented in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. According to SWIG, meetings were held on 26-27 August 2018 and their speakers were Armand Murnieks and Mila Serdyukova: . The SWIG Asia Pacific meeting also took place on February 9-10 2019: . BehindMLM also mention the Cryptocurrency promoted in one of these events with photos of the investment portfolio for 'Cryptounits' which would pay monthly dividends:. Post any verified published documentation of these events so we can include it as one of the locations used for recruitment and sales meetings for questionable investment products. Zachar (talk) 12:31, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Netherlands

A SkyWay Capital meeting was apparently held on the 18th of May 2019, Hotel de Elderschans,67 Herendreef, 4527 AZ Aardenburg. Patricia Uytterhoeven is the director of SkyWay Capital Nederland (the Netherlands). Participants were invited to hear information about the Sharjah test site and new investment opportunities. SkyWay Capital raises funds for SkyWay projects and has been accused of canvassing small investors to part with their money through motivated sales and recruitment meetings like this. This meeting is presented as an 'industry presentation for prospective investors in SkyWay Capital'. Request for secondary sources that comment on motivated sales meetings so we can add the Netherlands to the list of countries where it has been documented that such MLM meetings takes place. Here is the primary source:

https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/tickets-skyway-capital-meeting-60942500660#

A SkyWay Capital meeting is planned on 22 June 2019 at Hotel van de Valk in Vianen, in the province of Utrecht. They are promising updates on the developments in Sharjah and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and New Investment opportunities.

A SWIG recruitment and sales meeting is planned in Rotterdam, 29 June 2019. Topics include how you can make money quickly from investing in the CRU('cryptounits'). Attend this meeting to see the figure-heads of the SkyWay shell companies Global Transnet UK ltd. Armands Murnieks and Alena Pepina who front these shell companies in the UK. You can also (really) pre-purchase tickets to the EcoFest in August 2019.

New Zealand

In July 2018 New Zealand released a warning about the activity of SkyWay companies. The warning viewable here reads as follows:

• "It has been brought to the attention of FMA that Skyway Capital and its associates are offering financial services to New Zealand residents via social media and via other New Zealand residents. Skyway Capital and The Skyway Group are not registered as a financial service provider in New Zealand and is therefore not permitted to provide financial services to New Zealand residents... FMA also notes recent warning by the regulators in Belgium, Lithuania and Estonia in relation to Skyway Capital and The Skyway group. It is noted on the warnings that Skyway Capital and The Skyway Group could be involved in a scam and are an unlicensed entity in those jurisdictions."

The question is: why did they release this warning? This article published in the New Zealand herald and in conversation with the FMA who released the warning about SkyWay, concerns telephone marketing campaigns: , but it doesn't specifically mention SkyWay. New Zealand residents have been offered potentially fraudulent content. But do they mean on the internet or via telephone marketing? Or more generally to all activity. There must be published article on the exact activities that drew the attention of a regulatory agency. This is a request for information on the details of SkyWay groups activities in New Zealand.

According to SkyWay themselves, 'Neil Morrison' is the representative of Sky Way Invest Group in New Zealand. You can find him on Facebook and LinkedIn. This event was held on May 12 in Palmerston, New Zealand and contains information about a motivated sales meeting that may have occurred there. But until we have a published description of the event we can consider this link a primary source: . Post any information you find below.

Nigeria

It seems that the SkyWay Group are active in Nigeria as well, at least according to the SkyWay website. Include any actual verifiable references to SkyWay activity in Nigeria below:

• https://www.skywaynigeria.com/

-Zachar (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

It appears they had a congress there where Nigerian SkyWay staff encouraged people to invest in this project:

The article concerns how they use are using MLM-techniques to promote investment in SkyWay Nigeria. Small-scale investors are encouraged become 'affiliate investors' in an exciting project that will improve life in Nigeria for everyone;

The photo in the last article include figures like František Solar who has been involved in negotiations with Indonesia which were cancelled and harks back to representing SkyWay technologies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Kristiaan Van Den Vyver who has represented SkyWay Capital in Belgium (where FSMA has released a warning) and in other international negotiations such as Vietnam. –Zachar (talk) 08:49, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

The name of the Nigerian SkyWay company registered in Lagos is Technopolis Integrated Nigeria Limited :

-Zachar (talk) 08:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

The https://www.skywaynigeria.com/ looks like non-official local self created promotional web site. However why to not promote an investment opportunity? Your references to the article versus your comments explicitly demonstrate you’re a priory biased attitude to SkyWay technology. There is nothing about “MLM encouraging”. The [152][152] article represents general picture of today’s Nigeria development, issues, goals and needs, and the solutions that such technology as SkyWay can bring to this country. Article Is very positive and informative. Nothing about “everyone’s life improving” in the other one [153], that is in turns, an advertising of referral program officially used by SkyWay to stimulate crowdinvesting.

However you can turn to another article stating that SkyWay representatives expressed their readiness to implement the transport in Nigeria without any financial support from the government. It will significantly reduce pollution, upgrade infrastructure and attract tourists in this African country 1111--George Marshal (talk) 14:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for these references that confirm that SkyWay are seeking small-scale investors in Nigeria as part of an 'affiliate investment programme' (otherwise known as pyramid or multi-level marketing). Claims you make about reducing pollution or upgrading transport are entirely unsupported by your references.–Zachar (talk) 14:58, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

The International Skyway Capital Conference LAGOS was held on Friday the 9th of November, 2018 at "The New Ultra Modern D’PODIUM INTERNATIONAL EVENT CENTRE 31B, Aromire Avenue, Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja Lagos-Nigeria."–Zachar (talk) 20:09, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Norway

A translation is included below of an article published in the Norwegian magazine FINANSAVISEN on 17 November 2017 questioning the activity of this company which was attempting to get Norwegians to invest in SkyWay projects: "Hvitrussisk luftslott selges mot nordmenn" (Belarusian castles in the air sold to Norwegians).

PYRAMID CONCEPT - Belarusian castles in the air sold to Norwegians (Finansavisen, 17 November 2017 by Steinar Grini)

PHOTO: Bikini model cleaning a SkyWay Unicar TEXT: CLEAN: SkyWay emphasises cleaning, however does not give anyone a good explanation why cleaning staff must have high heels and bikini. FINANCE: Imagine a train going up in the air and a company that is in Step 11 of 15 prior to listing in London and New York and rising 40 percent in value for each step. Shares in a Belarussian company in Minsk are now being sold to Norwegians. The project is extremely airy, and the promises of wealth are even more airy. Here, there is already talk of pricing of NOK 400 billion and plans for stock exchange listing. Small investor Olav Magne Tveitå has been tried and sold in the project called SkyWay Invest Group. - The company had come to step 11 in a development of 15 steps before the IPO. For each step, the shares were priced 40 percent higher, says small investor Olav Magne Tveitå. He refused to invest in the project, but fears that many Norwegians will be tempted. Threatening email A search on the web shows that the company has a typical pyramidal form where the person who sells shares gets 15 percent of the invested amount to it beneath it in the pyramid, and somewhat less from each of the steps below. In total, it operates with 24 levels in the pyramid. An acquaintance introduced Tveitå for the investment project, on which Per Magne Nilsen came up from Kristiansand to hold the presentation. - I have not given any presentation, but I may have sat next to someone who has talked about the project, says Nilsen to Finansavisen. - Per Magne Nilsen was the man who gave the presentation to me. I soon realized owls in the bog, says Tveitå who shows an email he received from Nilsen shortly after the presentation. In the email that has a threatening wording, which is sent from Nilsen, and has his signature, it states: "I have been informed that you are spreading rumors that what I have presented to you is fraud and that I am conducting fraud / scam - and that I have been conducting fraud before, cf your statements ??? Is this correct that you set out such rumors? Threatening to the police - I know there is something called SkyWay, but I'm not involved. I can put you in touch with those who are if you are interested. I'll think about it and turn on the thread. Then you can make a really big deal about this. It will be exciting, ”says Nilsen. - But then it must be serious. I must know. If it is negative, then you can go to hell to say it in good Norwegian. Then there is no one who contacts you beyond the police or anyone for libel, for it is very unacceptable. - But if it is serious then I can put you in touch with those who are current. Since then, we do not hear anything from Nilsen, after which we contact several days later and receive an answer from Nilsen that he will try to establish a meeting once in the future without concretizing it. According to Tveitå, Nilsen stated that he had visited the Sky Way in Minsk together with 5,000 other people who took the products into consideration. The business idea was gondolas and trains that went on cables in the air, and with production costs of only 10 percent of trains, as well as formidable speeds. According to Nilsen, the company must have 320,000 unit holders, but that the shares cannot be traded until the final step in the development has been made, which is the stock exchange listing. Warning against SkyWay Capital At the same time, Finanstilsynet has issued a warning against a company with virtually identical concept and operating under the name SkyWay Capital. Nilsen rejects any knowledge of this company. Two months ago, one of Nilsen's Facebook friends, John Arne Jakobsen, published a post on his Facebook page, protesting that SkyWay was neither an air castle nor a scam. He urges those who want to buy ownership of the project to send him a message. A search on Facebook may indicate that there are a lot of people in Norway who have invested in the Sky Way in anticipation that after steps 12, 13, 14 and 15, when the company goes on the stock market, they get answers to whether the values have increased 300 percent or if it is a pyramid scheme.

Philippines

On 13 July 2019 SWIG has planned a recruitment and sales meeting at Cebu City in the Philippines. Read about it here: . Ruth Ashin, a New Zealand resident, is representing SkyWay. You can see her posting a constant barrage of lies about SkyWay technology to an unsuspecting public in her YouTube films with classics like "we will buy your shares back from you" and "when the company goes public the shares will be worth at least $1.00, but possibly $5, $10 or $20" and also every lie about the realistic outcomes of the SkyWay technology such as their hundreds of billions of dollars in pre-order contracts. Now they have extended their operation to the Philippines. At this event, SWIG is promoting financial literacy and education to help amass wealth to sell cryptounits. –Zachar (talk) 11:39, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

It is possible that someone publishes an article about this event in a verified news portal after it takes place. If you find anything, please post the information here so we can add the Philippines to the countries where SkyWay Group sales and recruitment meetings take place. This reference, however, can be considered a primary reference until confirmation is published.

Poland

On 19 January 2019 'SkyWay Polska' held an event whose title translates to "Financial Education Congress: Accelerating your road to financial success". It was held at Hotel Novotel - Wroclaw Centrum, 7 Powstańców Śląskich , 53-333 Wrocław. Here is a short summary translated from Polish describing this event:

On January 19, 2019, Skyway Polska invites you to an event that we organize in Wroclaw under the name MESSAGE TO BILLIONS.

Who we are?

We provide financial facilities for SkyWay Technologies, mainly to enable investing in crowds. In addition, our goal is to fully understand the science of investing. Our mission is to provide financial and investment knowledge, in which we also give people the best investment opportunities.

Zachar (talk) 15:34, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Slovakia

It appears that SkyWay has been active in Slovakia. At the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava they signed a 'Memorandum of Cooperation' in September 2016 on a "project of an innovative rail transport system in Bratislava": . Please note that a 'Memorandum of Cooperation' may be similar to a 'Memorandum of Understanding' which is not actually a contract and does not legally oblige anyone to do anything. It can, however, form the basis for further cooperation and can result in the preparation of an actual contract. The fact that there is no third-party publicity about any actual collaboration between anyone in Slovakia suggests that this hasn't taken place yet. A Memorandum doesn't prove any actual scientific endorsement of this technology either. It just means they might in the future draw up documents to collaborate on something. There are no further endorsements anywhere on the company or its technology that I can find. Can anyone else find a verifiable article about either the negotiations with University of Technology in Bratislave or in fact any SkyWay activity there? Post it here.

SkyWay Capital or its associates may well have been seeking funding in Slovakia. The Bank of Slovakia released a warning about the activities of the SkyWay Group: . So did the Czech National Bank: . I haven't found any other references to collaboration between the SkyWay Group and Slovakia. SkyWay themselves claim that Yunitskiy has received an international peace prize in Bratislava. It seems that no one else has ever received this prize as far as I can tell: –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 18:32, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

If we could find a secondary reference to collaboration between SkyWay and the Slovak University of Technology, then we could conceivably include it in the 'Projects' heading. But this is what worries me: the SkyWay Group has never actually realized any of these projects. You have to be careful about making claims like this but it is certainly true for the 'projects' discussed here. They may realize the proposed project in Dubai in the future and if they did this would be important news. But if they did, this would be striking and deserving of an individual discussion. The fact that they've been photographed on land which has supposedly been allocated to this project is not sufficient. Nothing has been built there yet. They have signed an MoU which is NOT a contract and no one is actually obliged to do anything. Although it can lead to a contract being drawn up, it doesn't actually mean much on its own. Maybe the section called 'projects' should actually be called 'negotiations' because 'projects' suggests that something has been built. It really hasn't. Negotiations are very different to actual projects. This is not a negative claim about the company. Negotiations are an important part of being a business, but projects result from legally-binding contracts which are drawn up after MoUs provide the foundation for them. I suggest we change the name of 'projects' to either 'negotiations' or 'proposals' or something like that. I say this because one of the users providing useful input to this talk page actually suggested we have a separate heading for the 'completed' projects. It's actually easy to assume if you see a heading like 'projects' that these companies have actually done something somewhere. I'm worried this could be misleading. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 20:31, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Slovenia

Here's a link to an article in Slovenian, published 31 May 2018. Note that from what I can tell it doesn't actually say so much about whether there is any specific activity in Slovenia. But it is very informative about the complexity of the group of companies, the connection between different company groups, what the money could actually be used for of investors and the chance of people actually making any money out of it, and interesting facts like how you are rewarded for bringing along three friends to meetings and convincing them to invest in shares. There are photos of Yunitskiy and Kudryashov (SkyWay Capital). Request for verification and possible translation of this interesting material. Here is the link:

WHO ARE THESE RUSSIANS HUNTING FOR SLOVENIAN MONEY?

31 May 2018 by Matic Tomšič

See the Zaxander (talk · contribs) talk page for the complete translation. Included below, however is a summary of the contents of this article. It makes pretty clear exactly what happened in Slovenia with pretty broad conclusions about the role of Yunitskiy, the SkyWay technology and SkyWay Capital which is closely involved in the funding operation. I tried to be really careful about how I worded this summary, and I encourage you to check the original or the translation before you use any of these facts in the article.

SUMMARY:

• A ‘SkyWay’ meeting for potential investors was held in December 2017 at ‘Hotel Center’ in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. The first event had already been held in September of the same year.
• SkyWay is a cable transport system designed by Anatoly Yunitskiy in the eighties. Yunitskiy, who is the primary representative today of the SkyWay Group, is making lofty claims about this technology.
• Although Yunitskiy still produces prototypes of his technology, no pilot projects have been realised. A negative assessment was made of this technology in 2008 (MSUoRE) because it was considered too dangerous for passengers. In 2016 the Russian Ministry of Transport decided it was innovative but only in theory.
• SkyWay Capital – the primary fund raiser of SkyWay projects – operates within the SkyWay Group; it has been seeking potential investors all over the world.
• According to this company a polluted future and the end of all life on earth can be avoided by investing in SkyWay infrastructure. All they need is your money. They promise you high returns on any investments in shares or options.
• Although it’s hard to tell because of the different companies in the SkyWay Group, it seems that the First Skyway Invest Group Ltd. (registered in London) is selling these shares.
• The potential success of this company is dependent on the success of the technology; when it succeeds the price of its shares will increase. Seeing that there are still only prototypes in Belarusian fields, this seems unlikely.
• SkyWay Capital ultimately absolves itself of any liability and offers no guarantee on returns to investors; furthermore it states that its shares are not valid in Russia or Australia.

Spain

A SWIG event group is planned to take place in Mallorca, Spain on 27 July 2019. You can find the promotion for this event in Spanish via the following link: "We invite you to our SWIG and STO CRYPTOUNIT event in MALLORCA" . The representative of SWIG in Spain are Galina Zukova and Jose Manuel. Post any verifiable references about SkyWay Group activities in Spain. They seem to be promoting themselves as a global investment consortium that is only party connected to the SkyWay technology. These are the actual claims that SkyWay makes in advertising this particular event (google-translated from Spanish):

SKY WAY INVEST GROUP, is a registered trademark company, is an educational platform that provides highly qualified training and directed to a variety of areas that include the personal area, investment segments, money management, capital and expansion of investment portfolio, online business and personal development... The creation of the CryptoUnit will help realize the NEEM (New Global Economic Evolution) that is designed to help people become co-owners, stakeholders and shareholders of the most profitable companies on the planet.

-Zachar (talk) 19:51, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Another SWIG event has been planned in Mallorca 9 November 2019. Read about it here: . It has the same guests speakers, namely Jose Manuel and Galina Zukova. They claim to represent Khovratov's "Academy of Private Investors" which is a SkyWay construction that is not officially recognized anywhere as far as I can tell. The qualifications of these guests speakers? "Masters Profi Coaches" who have further no qualifications to sell investment products. So what is a "Master Profi Coach"? Read about it here:

Master-Profi is a series of leadership training program which will lead you to the path of becoming a MASTER in sales, consulting, and PROFESSIONAL in building a large team of like minded motivated leaders just like you.

In other words, it is a training that SWIG gives to its salespeople. It is absolutely not any type of officially recognized training course that qualifies anyone to do anything. -Zachar (talk) 15:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

South Africa

It seems that the Sky Way Invest Group is also active in South Africa. A motivated sales and recruitment meeting was held in Pretoria on 11th and 12th of May 2019: . Please post verified sources commenting on meetings like these so we can add this information to the article. -Zachar (talk) 16:19, 29 May 2019 (UTC) Here is a link about the SkyWay sales conference held on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th of May at Hotel 224, Corner leyds and Francis baard, Acardia, Pretoria between 10 and 5 - "Advance your future with SWIG in South Africa": Although this reference is not self-published SkyWay promotion, it remains advertising for the event which was published before it actually took place. The article can be updated to include South Africa when there is a published verified source who comments on this event. -Zachar (talk) 16:54, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Tonga

SWIG is extending its field of operation to small investors in the Polynesian kingdom of more than 170 islands. Neil Morrison and Evelyn Kumar - New Zealand residents and entirely unqualified financial representatives of the Sky Way Invest Group (who are most certainly not brokers) - are giving a sales and recruitment meeting on 22 July 2019 in Maama Mo'onia Hall (Neiafu) to sell Cryptounits to unsuspecting Tongan residents. Read about it here: .

They are selling investment in SkyWay technology and offering an investment portfolio. Half of the money they make, they will keep and half it will go to the mother company. What will Tongan citizens get for paying money to these unqualified financial advisors? They will be gifted cryptounits by the mother company which are unregistered (and therefore fraudulent) financial products which are worth absolutely nothing. -Zachar (talk) 11:57, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Turkey

According to the Indonesian article mentioned above, the SkyWay group has been misinforming the world about its negotiations with Turkey. According to the article, plans of the SkyWay group have similarly been brought into question and stopped, although you wouldn't think this from the SkyWay website which discuss it as an ongoing project. This is a request for documentation on actual articles referring to what is happening/has happened to negotiations in Turkey if they are at all. Despite the fact that it is mentioned all over the 'SkyWay' website, this is the first time a verifiable source has mentioned Turkey at all. Include any links below.

–Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 09:37, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

They wrote that mayor of Ersurum had visited EcoTechnoPark and that "The official edition of the municipality of Erzurum “Erzurum Büyükşehir Belediyesi” published an article, which, in particular, focuses on the fact that the Mayor of the city of Erzurum Mehmet Sekmen told the public about SkyWay technology. Moreover, he informed that it is planned to allocate funds for the construction of SkyWay transport already in 2017!" but it is very easy to check that there is nothing about Skyway on the mentioned page . Dron007 (talk) 20:00, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

@Dron007 More good research. This sort of proves how important it is for the SkyWay Group to 'appear' as if it is negotiating with powerful partners. The Indonesian reference you found actually states that collaboration between Indonesian companies and the SkyWay group were cancelled but that nonetheless the SkyWay group continued to lie about their collaborations, as they were doing with negotiations in Turkey and Australia. We do know that at one stage there really were collaborations with Australia and Indonesia. I wonder what the whole truth is about Turkey? Sometimes it's really hard to tell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaxander (talk • contribs) 20:58, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

It looks like Turkish delegation visited Belarus and they signed MoU but I couldn't find any independent reports.Dron007 (talk) 01:48, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Uganda

It seems that SkyWay has extended its reach into Uganda. It has been reported that marketing campaigns are targeting Ugandas via social media, and this recent broadcast on Ugandan television has a woman talking about investment opportunities for everyday investors:

Post any information you find in the Ugandan press about SkyWay recruitment and sales meetings or the way they are canvassing investors below. Information about what you see on social media has to be considered as well as this the active point of marketing of this company. -Zachar (talk) 08:49, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

United Arab Emirates

An unidentified user says that the following links are specifically about SkyWay's companies involvement with 'Sky Pod' projects in the United Arab Emirates. Thanks for posting this suspicion here and not changing the article with this information. Until now I haven't been able to find that there is a link between Sky Pods and SkyWay, but I haven't looked very hard. Can anyone else confirm this? -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 22:09, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

On RTA site is said that "Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Skyway Greentech Company" and there is Yunitsky on photo so, yes SkyWay's companies are involved. Here is the link:

https://www.rta.ae/wps/portal/rta/ae/home/news-and-media/all-news/NewsDetails/mou-with-skyway-greentech-to-develop-sky-pod-network

I cannot open it but it is indexed by Google and opens through Google Translate.

Here is another source saying the same (news site): http://meconstructionnews.com/33441/rta-signs-mou-with-skyway-for-sky-pod-suspended-transport-network

There is also a video where Yunitsky says that UAE building company plans to finish the construction of the first road in April in Sharja. Another project is in Dubai but there is no information about terms. Just FYI. Dron007 (talk) 23:53, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks so much; well spotted. If even one of the references checks out, 'the United Arab Emirates' can be included in paragraph 3 of the introduction with the other countries that have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the SkyWay group. I don't know where else though because at least according to these references, they haven't been caught out doing something irregular yet! –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 00:50, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

The RTA reference really does look like a verifiable one. The link opens fine for me and seems like one that comes from the UAE and not from SkyWay. But these people are good at creating misleading links and this whole subject has got made worried about making a mistake. Can someone else confirm this and if deemed valid include it? –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 00:50, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for these links - I used RTA reference to add the UAE to the third paragraph. Other references may useful in the development of the body of the article as it is later extended when we find more references on their marketing techniques. Kind regards -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 00:42, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for bringing up this issue and providing us with so many sources. Because of these references I've included the UAE as one of the countries in the 'Unrealized projects' of the article. The RTA article states that in February 2019 'Skyway Greentech Company' signed an MoU with Dubai's RTA. This company will build 'Sky Pods' there. Yunitskiy himself is pictured in the photo signing this deal. It seems fairly unambiguous that 'Skyway Greentech Company' is one of the SkyWay Group companies. Other articles confirm this same information. The conclusion is the 'Skyway Greentch Company' is without ambiguity one of the SkyWay Group. Unfortunately it doesn't actually say this anywhere (yet). Of course, the SkyWay company websites refers to the 'Skyway Greentech Company' as their own. But this website is an unverifiable source. -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 15:01, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

• In the light of all these references, also, it seems like we should probably include the 'SkyPóds' as one of the test sites even if it has been deconstructed and even if it was used as marketing rather than actual demonstration. It seems, after all, that they did build something else somewhere. I'll check the references we already have above for discussion of the technological park but include any new references to any external sources below (that are not published by SkyWay themselves, of course). If there are other places something was actually built for display, it should probably be mentioned. The problem is finding verifiable resources. Press releases from technology fairs don't really mean anything along with publicity photos from events. Critical descriptions of what these projects looked like and how effective they were. In fact, for every technological test site where something was actually built we should probably have a different 'test site' entry with short descriptions from verifiable sources. Start a new discussion thread for each new site but please only start it if you have verifiable references first. Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 11:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

• It seems that they presented two model 'sky pod' taxi unicars at a governmental summit, they signed a MoU and they opened a construction site for testing in Sharjah. This is, in any case, what SkyWay themselves had to say about it - how much of this is actually true remains arguable until we have verifiable sources. Also, seeing that not even SkyWay is claiming yet that that they've created a test site, we can't really put one there yet. Just examples of the technology at a Government Summit that don't move anywhere don't actually count as 'testing' I think. Keep posting your results here.

"The SkyWay Innovation Center should become part of a large research and development center located at the Sharjah campus. This will be a showroom for the Middle East region and a functioning transport line for local campuses. Preparations for its construction began in the spring of 2018. The specialists of SkyWay Technologies Co. designed and coordinated with the Arab side all the nuances of the future innovation center and convinced them to leave in the project all the know-how, not familiar to local consultants. At the end of September 2018, the opening of the site for building the Innovation Center took place. If priorities do not change, the first stage will be completed in 2019. In parallel, the designers were creating new models of transport for the local inhospitable climate."

• Dubai Sky Pods is not a test site but a futuristic transportation system. It looks like localization/branding of Skyway. We can see this label and logo printed on Skyway vehicles exhibited in Dubai. Nothing new was built for that. At the same time they are building new test site in Sharja and showed a couple of videos from there. They planned to show something in April 2019 but in the video there was only a basement of some building. I couldn't found any secondary source supporting this information.Dron007 (talk) 19:32, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

United Kingdom

The SkyWay Group has various shell companies registered in London such as "First Skyway Invest Group Limited" and "SWIG International Ltd.".

The company "Global Transnet UK Ltd." directed by Armands Murniecks but owned by Yunitskiy has been observed in insider trading with the SkyWay company on a fictional planned project between Thurso in Scotland and London. -Zachar (talk) 12:36, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

One of the TUT.By articles (the original viewable here: , translation below) discusses Cliff, a SkyWay investor from Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom who attended the EcoFest in August 2018. This suggests that they are also canvassing small investors in this country.

Any references relating to the activities of SkyWay in the United Kingdom can be posted below.

Advertising has been released for a SWIG sales and recruitment meeting to be held in London on 6 July 2019 to promote the sale and investment in SkyWay Products.. Armands Murnieks and Andrew Hawkes will be two of the noteworthy speaker, the latter notable for spruiking SkyWay investment products all around Australia. Potential investors are invited to "change their lives" and "become financially literate" and "obtain co-ownership in this new technology as a bonus". It should be made clear that by paying money to SkyWay you become the co-owner of nothing of the sort. They have not published the necessary prospectus required by national regulation to sell their shares or to offer any type of securities.

Vietnam

It has been claimed that SkyWay is extending its operations to Vietnam. I suppose it's not all that surprising. I read this information in an anecdotal (wholly negative) description of their operations. Verifiable references are, however, still lacking. According to one of the SkyWay websites they had a meeting there in June and July 2018. Lo and behold there are SkyWay facebook pages and websites in Vietnamese as well.. If they only had meetings there and there are no verifiable references about these meetings, we can't really include anything about this in the article. But if you find any verifiable resources please include them below. -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 20:53, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Here is a SkyWay marketing film in Vietnamese published on a Vietnamese news site. The title of the article is Vietnamese entrepreneur presents a Belarusian transport dream. It was published on July 7 2018. The accompanying text is "Long on claims and short on details, the 'Skyway' projects a three-hour ride from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City." I still can't find any links to suggest that they have actually entered negotiations with anyone there yet. -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 23:17, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

This article 528607 confirms again that such technologies cannot be implemented immediately. Time, tests and improvements are required. The latest ones require financing. This is simple formula of technology venture start up. So why to blame it for being “scam”, ”pyramid” while it shows its real work? It’s strange you’re focused just on SkyWay hoaxing. However none another invention like for example Hyperloop mentioned in this article too, looking more fantastic and hardly realizable, are touched by you. This fact indirectly confirms as the SkyWay critics publishing as their supports engagement --George Marshal (talk) 20:13, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Below follows a translation of this recent post which includes photos of Yunitskiy giving a presentation in Hanoi.

It should be noted here that this article is about Yunitskiy’s presentation which provides no independent assessment or evaluation of SkyWay technology.

New solution for Vietnam traffic: Yunitskiy in Hanoi (6 May 2019

Tàu điện chạy trên ray dây: Giải pháp mới cho giao thông Việt Nam? Electric train running on rope line: New solution for Vietnam traffic? 6 May 2019 by Trong Dat Many people know about Elon Musk - Tesla's CEO with a project called Hyperloop. This is a futuristic transport solution when it will help transport people and goods with a vacuum tube at the same speed as an airplane. However, Elon Musk is not the only person with the ambition to change the way people engage in traffic. Direct competitors with Hyperloop are Skyway - a company based in Belarus. Skyway's head is Anatoli Yunitski - an inventor, author of more than 200 scientific works and 150 inventions. IMAGE: photo of Yunitskiy in Vietnam TEXT: Mr. Anatoli Yunitski - who invented the technology of ships running on wire rails. Photo: Trong Dat Recently, Anatoli Yunitski appeared in Vietnam to introduce the Unitski Rail (Unitski Rail) Unitski Rail. The expert, who was a member of the Soviet non-service association, believes that railroad transport technology will change the way people move and transport goods in the coming years. The difference of wire rail transport lies in the fact that instead of being placed on the ground, the tracks will be specially designed to be aerial. Attached to this rail system are iron-wheeled cabins. The cabin can be used to carry people or goods. Passenger capacity of cabins ranges from 2 to 28 people, depending on installation needs. They can also be joined together to form a suspension train with a capacity of 84-168 people. IMAGE: Yunitskiy speaking in front of a projected image of computer-generated SkyWay tracks TEXT: Models of cabins or "wagons" run on rails. Photo: Trong Dat The engines of these cabins use a variety of fuels and energy. If electricity is used, they can be energized by two ways, by rail or through batteries mounted on each cabin. Depending on the needs, the manufacturer can provide charging cabins right at the station every time they pick up and drop off guests. SkyWay also developed a model that helps generate electricity directly on cabins using generators that run hydrogen. According to Anatoli Yunitski, even if the road is smooth, the wheels still ensure the grip with the rails through the auxiliary wheel system. Therefore, wire rope transport technology Unitski can bring the cabin moving at a slope of 45 degrees, even going perpendicular to the vertical. The speed at which the cabins can reach can reach 120-150km / h if running in the city. With a super fast cabin of 4 - 24 people, its speed can be up to 500km / h. SkyWay 2-way transport capacity reaches 720,000 passengers / day. Is the electric train available in Vietnam feasible? Exchange with Pv. VietNamNet, Anatoli Yunitski said that traffic congestion is a big problem that populated cities need to solve. The use of overhead transport systems is a solution to this. "The above vehicles do not save land area, reduce the cost of site clearance, environmentally friendly, fast construction time and especially very low investment costs", the general engineer Belarus said. IMAGE: Yunitskiy pointing at a complex projected image of SkyWay string technology TEXT: SkyWay's general architect, Anatoli Yunitski, shared about the similarity between the technology of trains running on ropes and cable-stayed bridges. Photo: Trong Dat Anatoli Yunitski said that the investment cost for each of these rails is only about US $ 2-5 million. This amount is only 1/25 if compared to high speed trains running on magnetic mattresses (USD 50 million / km). It is also 10 to 15 times cheaper than Tesla's Hyperloop, and 3-5 times cheaper than Israel's SkyTran. According to Mr. Anatoli Yunitski, wire rails technology is the same as road, rail or air transport. However, this technology allows deploying in all terrain conditions, from many rivers, mountains or even connecting structures on the sea. "This technology is currently deployed in Belarus. Recently, an agreement to build 15km of wire tracks was signed by SkyWay with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). SkyWay recently had an authorized representative in Vietnam. Vietnam may consider economic benefits if it wants to test this type of transport, ”said Anatoli Yunitski. FILM: EcoTechnoPark promotion film with Vietnamese subtitles TEXT: How to operate "train cars" when running on a rope track. Commenting on this technology, Mr. Hoang Kim Anh - Deputy Head of Hanoi Urban Railway Management said that the rail line technology is a new transport idea with many preeminent features such as low cost, time. Short construction time. With the current traffic situation of Hanoi, the Urban Railway Management Board is looking for solutions to minimize traffic congestion. The implementation of Metro lines in the capital area is being implemented but currently has some construction progress issues. According to Hoang Kim Anh: “The electric train technology on the wire can open a new direction for us in the future. However, it will take a long time to verify and evaluate the effectiveness before using this technology in Vietnam. ”

See the original Onliner.by article “Elon Musk is bullshit bring me the money…” to hear Musk’s work utterly eviscerated by Yunitskiy saying he is a liar, a cheat and a poseur who was undeservingly made a billionaire.
