“In this regard, the public is made aware that an ‘investment contract,’ which is a kind of security, 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 ROYAL BULL MASTER TRADING INTERNATIONAL/ROYAL BULL MASTER,” the SEC emphasized.

However, selling securities like the scheme of Royal Bull Master needs to be registered with the Commission. The entity and its agents involved should also have the appropriate registration and license to sell such securities to the public.

Aside from being unlicensed, the Commission also tagged the scheme employed by Royal Bull Master as a “Ponzi Scheme,” where the money of the new investors is used to give to the old investors as fake profit, which, according to the regulatory agency, is not a registrable security. 

With this, the SEC warned all the individuals who act as salesmen, brokers, dealers or agents, representatives, promoters, uplines, recruiters, influencers, endorsers, and enablers involved in Royal Bull Master in selling or convincing people to invest 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 ₱5 million or imprisonment of 21 years or both.
