DANNY : DE HEKTommy Amarin Blikeng, a Norwegian entrepreneur residing in Koh Samui, Thailand, has become notorious for his involvement in promoting fraudulent Ponzi schemes. Most recently, he has been heavily linked to Akita Rider, a scheme disguised as an NFT investment opportunity that preys on unsuspecting investors with promises of high returns.

This blog aims to expose his activities, highlight the red flags of his operations, and serve as a warning to anyone considering engaging with him or his schemes.

Who is Tommy Amarin Blikeng?

Tommy Amarin Blikeng is a self-styled entrepreneur who operates from the tropical island of Koh Samui. Despite his idyllic surroundings, his actions are far from tranquil. Tommy is associated with Akita Rider, a high-risk platform that promises monthly returns of up to 20% through NFT staking. However, these claims are not only unrealistic but align with the typical hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Operating in Thailand, a jurisdiction with lenient financial regulations, Tommy exploits this environment to host Zoom meetings and recruit investors into schemes like Akita Rider. His tactics include leveraging fear of missing out (FOMO), presenting false urgency, and deflecting blame onto victims when the scheme’s flaws become evident.

What is Akita Rider?

Akita Rider is marketed as a cutting-edge NFT staking platform that guarantees high returns. However, a closer look reveals a litany of red flags:

  1. Unrealistic Returns: Promises of 6%-20% monthly returns are not sustainable and are typical of Ponzi schemes.
  2. Lack of Transparency: Akita Rider’s website provides little information about its operations, leadership, or financial backing.
  3. Recruitment-Driven Model: Earnings are primarily derived from recruiting new participants, a structure indicative of a pyramid scheme.
  4. Investor Grievances: Many participants report difficulties withdrawing funds and facing unexpected penalties.
  5. Recent Domain Registration: Akitarider.com was only recently registered, adding to concerns about its legitimacy.

Tommy’s Role in the Scheme

In recorded Zoom meetings, Tommy is seen urging participants to invest quickly, claiming they will miss out on lucrative opportunities if they hesitate. He frames penalties and burned tokens as measures to “protect the community,” but these tactics only serve to exploit investors further.

Tommy’s dismissive responses to investor grievances—such as complaints about burned tokens and restricted withdrawals—highlight his lack of accountability. Instead of addressing the core issues, he shifts blame onto investors, claiming their actions harm the community.

Red Flags of Akita Rider and Tommy’s Tactics

  1. MLM Recruitment Structure: Akita Rider relies on a multilevel marketing model where participants earn commissions for recruiting others, rather than generating legitimate investment returns.
  2. NFT Staking Fraud: The platform’s staking model mirrors past failed schemes, where returns are fabricated and payouts depend on new recruits.
  3. Deflection of Blame: Tommy frequently blames victims for their losses, deflecting attention away from the inherent flaws in the scheme.
  4. Operating from a Shielded Location: Thailand’s lax financial oversight allows Tommy to operate with minimal scrutiny, putting investors at greater risk.
