The Commission has received numerous reports regarding the activities of an entity
named
GROUND ZERO POULTRY
which
is engaged in investment

taking activities.
Based on information gather
ed by the Commisison,
GROUND ZERO POULTRY
is
enticing the public or individuals who will serve as “Lending/Venture Capitalists” to support the
pursuits of its growing business. The poultry farm offers an opportunity to its lenders to earn a
good amount of
savings while contributing to the business’ growth.
An investor may opt to
invest
a minimum
amount
of
Twenty Thousand Pesos (Php20,000.00)
with
a
guaranteed
money back
of 8% monthly or a total of
48%
returns
semi

annually.
Briefly, an “
investment
contract”
exists when there is an investment or placement
of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived
from the efforts of others
which is prominent in the scheme of
GROUND ZERO
POULTRY.
As such, the Securities Re
gulation Code (SRC) requires that said offer and sale of
securities must be duly registered with the Commission and that the concerned entity
and/or its agents should have the appropriate registration and/or license to sell such
securities to the public.
Based on the Commission’s database,
GROUND ZERO POULTRY,
is
NOT
REGISTERED
as a corporation or partnership
and
OPERATES WITHOUT THE
NECESSARY
LICENSE
AND/OR
AUTHORITY
to
solicit,
accept
or
take
investments/placements from the public nor to issue investmen
t contracts and other
forms of securities defined under Section 3 of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC)
.
Further, the scheme employed by
GROUND ZERO POULTRY
,
shows indication
of a possible
“Ponzi Scheme”
where
monies from new investors are used in payin
g
“fake profits” to prior investors
and is designed mainly to favor its top recruiters and
prior risk takers and is detrimental to subsequent members in case of scarcity of new
investors.
The offering and selling of securities in the form of investment co
ntracts using the
“Ponzi Scheme”
which is fraudulent and unsustainable, is
NOT
a registrable security. The
Commission will not issue a License to Sell Securities to the Public to persons or entities that are
engaged in this business or scheme.
In view the
reof, the public is hereby advised to

in the
investment scheme being offered by

and its
representatives.

GROUND ZERO POULTRY,
in selling or convincing people to i
nvest in the investment scheme being
offered by the said entity including soliciting investments or recruiting investors
through the internet may be held criminally liable under Section 28 of the SRC and
penalized with a
maximum fine of Five Million Pesos
(Php5,000,000.00) or
imprisonment of Twenty One (21) years or both pursuant to Section 73 of the SRC
