Company Strategy & Product Offering

TGI’s Core Business Model

Selling physical gold at a discount with a unique payout structure.
Customers receive 2-4% cashback monthly on the purchase price of gold bars for 36 months, totaling up to 72% return over 3 years, in addition to holding the gold itself.
Emphasis on secure, transparent, and punctual payouts.
Gold is positioned as a highly liquid asset compared to diamonds.

New Product Developments

Introduction of a Gold Account (Goldcard): a current/business account linked to gold holdings.
- Enables instant conversion between money and physical gold.
- Protects against inflation while providing liquidity.
- Multiple account tiers planned: free basic, medium, and premium with additional features.
Launch of a second payment provider expected early February to resolve ongoing bank transfer and blocking issues.

Operational Scale and Expansion

Over 20 gold mining machines ordered, with plans for 40-50 machines operating, capable of producing significant gold quantities monthly (estimated 1,200 kg/month).
Gold reserves and depots include a DOS depot in Vienna with approx. €15 million in gold reserves.
Collaboration with partners like Golden Empire and Budha to ensure physical gold production and trading.
The first 10 machines funded from TGI’s profits (not customer purchases), creating an overproduction buffer to secure supply for customers.

Marketing, Sales & Customer Relations

Customer Communication & Transparency

Regular webinars and constant communication with sales partners and customers.
Aggressively addressing misinformation and negative claims, especially those from a former sales director spreading falsehoods.
Emphasis on 100% customer satisfaction over five years.

Legal & Risk Management

Diamond Market & Fraud Allegations

Rising inquiries about discounted diamonds linked to a former sales director now involved in a controversial diamond business.
Legal experts and guests revealed:
- The diamond business is based in Dubai, with limited liquidity and valuation transparency.
- Criminal and civil fraud investigations underway against the former sales director involving millions of euros.
- Contracts were misused, with funds diverted to unrelated activities (e.g., sports betting platforms).
- Legal enforcement is difficult due to lack of extradition treaties and legal assistance agreements between Austria (and Europe) and Dubai.
- Customers buying diamonds from Dubai face high legal risks with limited recourse.

TGI’s Legal Position

TGI distances itself from the diamond business and emphasizes compliance with stringent regulators in Liechtenstein and Austria.
Ongoing audits and balance sheet reviews demonstrate financial health and transparency.
Legal action underway to recover funds and clarify responsibilities related to the fraud cases.
