I joined what I believed would be a recovery meeting for victims of the collapsed MHT Trading Bot. Instead, I found myself sitting through a polished Zoom presentation promoting PLAYGLOBAL Digital, a Luxembourg-based company claiming it could help victims recover their losses through an ambitious investment ecosystem. The more I listened, the more questions I had. When I asked for evidence to support their extraordinary claims, I was promised documentation. What followed instead was something I never expected.

THE INVESTIGATION BEGINS

An MHT victim invited me into a private Zoom meeting where several PLAYGLOBAL representatives outlined their vision for the future. They spoke about a US$100 billion Super Asset Fund, tokenised real-world assets, exclusive investment opportunities, technology transfers, healthcare, renewable energy, luxury brands and international expansion.

The presentation was polished and ambitious, but I wanted to see something much more important.

Evidence.

I requested documents supporting the claims being made, including proof of assets, regulatory documentation, corporate structure, ownership and details surrounding the proposed recovery efforts for MHT victims.

Marco assured me the information would be provided.

THE STORY TAKES AN UNEXPECTED TURN

Instead of receiving the documents I'd requested, I received correspondence from an Indian lawyer, Sandeep Roy, who explained that he had become involved after being approached by Daniel Baumgartner from PLAYGLOBAL.

According to Mr Roy, he had helped identify the individual allegedly responsible for the MHT Trading Bot scam inside India and was assisting with criminal complaints involving local police, enforcement agencies and potentially international authorities.

Naturally, I wanted to verify these claims.

I questioned whether I was even communicating with the genuine lawyer, requested independent verification of his identity and asked for supporting evidence relating to the legal proceedings.

To his credit, Mr Roy connected with me directly on LinkedIn, confirming that I was communicating with the real individual.

However, many of my original investigative questions still remain unanswered.

FOLLOWING THE EVIDENCE

I reviewed PLAYGLOBAL's website, company registration details and public corporate information.

The company certainly exists.

It is incorporated in Luxembourg and lists directors, advisory board members and numerous international ambitions.

But incorporation alone does not verify business claims.

The website makes exceptionally large statements about global investment funds, exclusive projects, tokenised assets, research centres, healthcare initiatives, Middle Eastern partnerships and billion-dollar developments.

Yet throughout the investigation I kept asking the same question.

Where is the independently verifiable evidence supporting these claims?

THE QUESTIONS CONTINUE

I also discovered that PLAYGLOBAL Digital's online presence appears remarkably recent despite references to a much longer history.

The organisation presents itself as having origins dating back to 2010, while much of the current digital footprint appears substantially newer.

That doesn't automatically indicate wrongdoing.

But when an organisation makes extraordinary claims, investigators should expect equally extraordinary supporting documentation.

So far, much of what I've requested has yet to be produced.

WHY THIS MATTERS

This investigation is not about attacking individuals.

It is about applying the same standards of due diligence that every investor should apply before trusting any organisation with their money.

Public claims deserve public scrutiny.

When companies promote large investment opportunities, recovery programmes or financial ecosystems, they should expect legitimate questions from journalists, victims and the wider public.

Those questions deserve documented answers.

Not legal threats.

THE STORY IS STILL UNFOLDING

This investigation is far from over.

I'm continuing to examine the documents, the corporate structure, the legal claims and the people involved while allowing everyone the opportunity to present evidence supporting their statements.

Whether PLAYGLOBAL ultimately proves every claim or whether further questions emerge will depend entirely on the evidence—not marketing presentations or promises made during Zoom meetings.

For now, the investigation continues.
