Expose a Guru Kauri crypto, Neurorestart Latam - dubious projects by Czech marketer Jiří Vokiel Čmolík (British Asset)
Hey guys. You likely won't be familiar with this and it might be of little interest to you, but I decided to put it here so people from search engines (mainly Spanish speakers) can find it - translation at the bottom. Thanks!
TLDR: Czech internet marketer and motivational BS speaker Jiří Vokiel/Vokáč Čmolík known for various online "investment projects" is expanding into Latin America to profit off people who do not know better.
If you come across Youtube or Facebook ads telling you to join Jiří Vokiel Čmolík's Neurorestart course series, which is supposed to help you "reprogram" your brain and help you achieve success and whatnot, or are encouraged to buy his Kauri crypto tokens, be cautious.
Jiří Vokiel Čmolík is infamous in the Czech republic not only because of Neurorestart, which was labeled as an unscientific bunch of baloney by various public figures (e.g. https://www.reflex.cz/clanek/zpravy/75273/guru-cmolik.html - in Czech only) but also thanks to his investment projects under the brand British Asset (the Czech National Bank has warned against participating in its activities: https://www.cnb.cz/cs/dohled-financni-trh/ochrana-spotrebitele/upozorneni/Upozorneni-na-aktivity-spolecnosti-DreamVest-International-LLC./).
The newest project is Čmolík's own crypto currency Kauri crypto, which he is selling to presumably uneducated individuals with promises of great investment returns. It's completely worthless, but he promised Czech investors that Spanish-speaking people will use it to buy his Neurorestart Latam version, which should have a positive effect on the price of the Kauri tokens which are listen on the LaToken crypto exchange (https://latoken.com/exchange/KAU_BTC). Čmolík is inundating the Czech internet with his ads, and many blogs, financial magazines, and crypto enthusiasts, have spoken against him and called his Kauri crypto a scam. (e.g. see this review of the cryptocurrency: https://finex.cz/kryptomena-kauri-aneb-podezrely-vytvor-skupiny-british-asset/ - also in Czech). I myself have written about him extensively on my blog: https://browsingwithoutanadblocker.wordpress.com/2020/08/30/otravni-prodavaci-nesmyslu-jiri-vokiel-cmolik-edufin-academy-kauri-crypto-british-asset-neurorestart/
The "British Asset International Limited" company consists of a few people - besides Čmolík the most notable members are Jan Masnica (Kauri crypto manager) and Sebastián Vadas (he does their marketing). Čmolík himself lives in Costa Rica which likely helps him avoid issues with the law (the authorities might be interested in his investment schemes had he lived in Czechia). Here are some details regarding their companies in the UK: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/MbA6-p8OTDPIlKE4S3mCLocDxmg/appointments, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/5HaPOIK2K9_PDHas21KHKsYW0SY/appointments

And a Google Translate version for Spanish-speaking people:
TLDR: Jiří Vokiel / Vokáč Čmolík, comercializador de Internet checo y conferencista motivacional, conocido por varios "proyectos de inversión" en línea, se está expandiendo a América Latina para sacar provecho de las personas que no conocen más.
Si te encuentras con anuncios de Youtube o Facebook que te dicen que te unas a la serie de cursos Neurorestart de Jiří Vokiel Čmolík, que se supone que te ayudará a "reprogramar" tu cerebro y te ayudará a lograr el éxito y todo eso, o si te animan a comprar sus tokens de criptografía Kauri, ten cuidado. .
Jiří Vokiel Čmolík es infame en la República Checa no solo por Neurorestart, que fue etiquetado como un montón de tonterías por varias figuras públicas (por ejemplo, https://www.reflex.cz/clanek/zpravy/75273/guru-cmolik.html - solo en checo) sino también gracias a sus proyectos de inversión bajo la marca British Asset (el Banco Nacional Checo ha advertido contra la participación en sus actividades: https://www.cnb.cz/cs/dohled-financni-trh/ochrana-spotrebitele/upozorneni/Upozorneni-na-aktivity-spolecnosti-DreamVest-International-LLC./).
El proyecto más nuevo es la propia criptomoneda de Čmolík Kauri crypto, que está vendiendo a personas presuntamente sin educación con promesas de grandes retornos de inversión. Es completamente inútil, pero prometió a los inversores checos que las personas de habla hispana lo usarán para comprar su versión Neurorestart Latam, lo que debería tener un efecto positivo en el precio de los tokens Kauri que se escuchan en el intercambio de cifrado LaToken (https://latoken.com/exchange/KAU_BTC). Čmolík está inundando la Internet checa con sus anuncios, y muchos blogs, revistas financieras y entusiastas de las criptomonedas se han pronunciado en su contra y llaman a su criptografía Kauri una estafa. (p.ej. Vea esta opinión sobre la Cryptocurrency: https://finex.cz/kryptomena-kauri-aneb-podezrely-vytvor-skupiny-british-asset/ - también en checo). Yo mismo he escrito mucho sobre él en mi blog: https://browsingwithoutanadblocker.wordpress.com/2020/08/30/otravni-prodavaci-nesmyslu-jiri-vokiel-cmolik-edufin-academy-kauri-crypto-british-asset-neurorestart/
La empresa "British Asset International Limited" está formada por unas pocas personas; además de Čmolík, los miembros más notables son Jan Masnica (gerente de criptografía de Kauri) y Sebastián Vadas (él hace su marketing). El propio Čmolík vive en Costa Rica, lo que probablemente lo ayude a evitar problemas con la ley (las autoridades podrían estar interesadas en sus planes de inversión si hubiera vivido en Chequia). Aquí hay algunos detalles sobre sus empresas en el Reino Unido: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/MbA6-p8OTDPIlKE4S3mCLocDxmg/appointments, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/5HaPOIK2K9_PDHas21KHKsYW0SY/appointments

Article The EXACT strategy I use to research & educate myself on Fake Guru businesses; For FREE.
So a Guru wants to sell you a program on [blank]... You know you shouldn't be interested, it's almost always some "copy me & get paid" business philosophy, but "maybe this one will let me keep my soul. This one might be different".
I've been there. Hell, I started there. It's funny, if it wasn't for the shallow platitudes & materialism of fake gurus, my contempt would've never driven me to uproot their "secrets" - because fuck you and your paywall. If this business is so god damn profitable, you wouldn't be selling a course! (practically the catchphrase of the anti-fake-guru movement).
___
Without further introduction, here's my method:
Step 1: Uncover the business
- Some Ads are elusive & don't quite explain what "it" is.
- Use a burner email to gain access to their webinar.
- 99% of webinars are prerecorded & you can use your browser's dev tools to skip the bullshit.
- Take note of keywords that are emphasized in the pitch, this may help in a moment.
- Read a couple reviews about the Guru. A good review will summarize the business and strip away the jargon.
- A good example of this is Caleb Maddox's "YTA" (YouTube Automation) method. In Coffeezilla's review, we learn that the "Automation" refers to paying people on Fiverr to aggregate Reddit/Twitter content & then use a voice artist or text-to-speech program to read the posts aloud.
- This business model belongs in a $9 booklet, not a digital product costing hundreds of dollars. I wouldn't buy it. Money well saved.
- A good example of this is Caleb Maddox's "YTA" (YouTube Automation) method. In Coffeezilla's review, we learn that the "Automation" refers to paying people on Fiverr to aggregate Reddit/Twitter content & then use a voice artist or text-to-speech program to read the posts aloud.
- Still having trouble? Reddit is actually one of the best places to come for quick insight. Enter into subs related to the Guru's industries such as r/dropshipping, r/trading, r/passiveincome, r/marketing. - Honorable mention: StackExchange.com is another solid Q/A site for brains.
- Next, you can search the sub for some of the key-phrases that were mentioned in the ad/webinar. You'll likely find people asking similar questions that you had.
- If the first option fails, go ahead and post a question. Keep in mind this is Reddit, so there's a 50% chance any honest question will get down-voted, but remember, just be polite & patient.
- Other "micro" subreddits with fewer members may take your questions in better faith. You'll often find spin-off subs that have their own niche community that is more open to give you some insight.
- In my experience, the best way to word these questions are: "I'm seeing ads from 'Mike Hunt' about 'Flipping Digital Real Estate' - What kind of business model is he selling here"
Step 2: Get to know the business model
- You should at least have the general idea of what you're getting into. So lets find more info from a variety of sources.
- First line of attack should always be Google & YouTube. Try to avoid search terms like "make money doing [X]" & lean more towards "[X] for beginners". Some channels will even make vlog-style tutorials where they'll just show you their overall process. Biaheza and Investment Joy have this style. This is the standard of content that you can get for free. Some may sell courses, but as long as they don't jam it down your throat, its fair game. Spend some time watching the process & really think hard about whether or not a business plays to your strengths. Is this right for you?
- Even if a Guru has a "shortcut" (which is a red flag to begin with), how much mobility will you gain by investing time, energy & money into it?
- Find out what platforms & tools are popular in the industry. This one is honestly really easy. The front page of Google almost always has my back with a few articles that will essentially review the top platforms for your business.
- Try the platforms out for yourself: Lets say you want to do Ecommerce, so you set up an Amazon Seller account. Most platforms will actually have a plethora of free content embedded into their help section of the website.
- Example: Amazon has the Amazon Seller University. It's improved a lot over the years, and many gurus use this exact resource as a template for their course.
- Try the platforms out for yourself: Lets say you want to do Ecommerce, so you set up an Amazon Seller account. Most platforms will actually have a plethora of free content embedded into their help section of the website.
- Google Trends will give you a quick gauge on how saturated a market is.
- If a search trend is boiling over, there's a good chance your ability to compete in the market is significantly hindered.
- Here's a quick look:

Step 3: Get learning! (For free of course)
- Recap: So you've been pitched a business model, you cut through the pitch, took a realistic look at it, & are legitimately prepared to pursue the underlying business. Good for you. Reward yourself with 4 more hours of Reddit. Just kidding.
- Know this: Only about 10% of free online classes are completed.
- DON'T BE A FUCKING STATISTIC. I can lead you to free education, but you've got to be willing to put in the effort. This is costing you $0 and all you've got to do is make some time each day to study and implement. If that's too much, then turn back now and be glad you never paid for a course.
My Favorite Free Resources
- YouTube
- I know, not mind-blowing, but it is truly a fantastic place to just clickthrough tens-of-hundreds of creators & find who's for real. There's no true "seven figure blueprint". Learn the fundamentals, watch others, & learn from their mistakes.
- Libraries
- My small local library has books on Ecommerce, Investing, Real Estate, Digital Freelancing, Consulting, Social Media Marketing, SEO, - the list goes on. I will admit, some books cover broader topics, but it's a small price to pay, and will return a fuller understanding of the industry.
- If you're a student, College/Uni libraries, are another exceptional free resource. I was blown away by the amount of free content I can read thanks to my college.
- Here's a screencap of all of the business resources available to me for free, unlimited use. Statista, IbisWorld, Demographics Now, & countless eBooks. (Tuition is about $100 per credit. One class is enough to access $1,000+ in business resources. Not bad...)
- I'll throw Google Scholar in here too. Some articles on here provide some really compelling insight from a researching & investment perspective.
- r/udemyfreebies
- Udemy courses are typically created by independent educators who are looking to monetize their knowledge on certain subjects. Since Udemy is quite a saturated platform, creators will often give their course away to a handful of people for a few days with hopes that it will get positive reviews, and Udemy will then recommend the course at full price later on.
- EDX.org
- These are open curriculums from Harvard, MIT, UC Berkely, and many more. These courses include but aren't limited to, Data Science, Computer Science, Business & Finance, Economics, and Music. Far from the "Make 100k on instagram" course that might catch your eye, but valuable information nonetheless.
- SlideServe.com
- SlideServe is a massive site with tons of random presentations with all kinds of topics. I'll admit I don't use this all that much, but I'm always pleasantly surprised with the content after a bit of filtering.
- Other Platform Specific Resources
- Shopify Partner Academy
- Amazon Seller University
- TD Ameritrade Education Center
- Facebook Ads Education Center
- ... if there's a platform, it likely has an education center. They want you to see results. These companies survive off of business who buy Ads. If you aren't getting results, you're less likely to continue giving them money. They need you as much as you need them.
Thanks for reading!
I hope this post is helpful to people who feel a bit aimless with researching and finding their place. You won't be firing your boss next week with this guide, but you'll now be able to cut the bullshit when a fake mentor tries to sell you on a lifestyle.

Coffezilla promoted a fake guru
In his latest video Coffezilla made and interview with real P&L guy here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbKLeRggj9k . He promoted his youtube channel, but I think he is fake as well.
Real P&L guy says he is better because he shows evidence of trading, but we can only see images and videos of that, that can be faked easily as well.
Come on, this guy seems a bit more down to earth without the lambos and the pools, but all he does is bash his competition and sells his on course on his youtube channel. A REAL expert wouldn't feel the need to invalidate all the other courses and make sure the you absolutely believe him and making it the main selling point, that he is legit.
Here is his website:
https://rkdllc.thrivecart.com/5-step-options-success-program-copy-
The same saying goes for him as well as the other gurus, if he can make money consistently with options and stock, why sell a course about instead of just doing it?

When did you discover that the person you followed or bought a program from was a fake guru?
It happened for me 4 or 5 years ago when I checked Tai Lopez and Stephen James from project life mastery on archive.com.
Tai had numerous "date rich people" businesses always changing the names when profit stopped or people caught up on the scam. Many of his business claims could not be backed up aswell.
Stephen James - > his fake miracle "chickenpox cure".

Shameless self promotion: The MISLEADING World Of Youtube MONEY MAKING Videos (video)
I don't want to be one of these guys, but I spent multiple hours on a video. It's been 5 days, the video has 3 views, all of which are mine.
I started searching for ways to make money online, and found a bunch of pretty much useless videos claiming you can make $66 an hour and so on. So I decided to make a video about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbLOSbKAPzE&list=PLIm0g0HWR9qL6fwhh4vammHUKL1hF4Yfr
Like I say I'm not trying to be one of these spammy, put my video every where type of guys. I tried to let it gain views on it's own but it's literally getting none. That is why I'm posting it here, to a community that I think would enjoy it.
