Three Crowd1 scammers have been sentenced to prison by Sweden’s Stockholm District Court.

Swedish authorities took action and raided Crowd1’s Swedish offices in November 2022.

The raid resulted six arrests on corporate money laundering criminal charges:

1. Jens Lennart Lorentsson
2. Anneli Carina Lundell
3. Conny Tore Otteland
4. Ann-Christine Sigvardsson
5. Nils Johan Anders Westerdahl (right) and
6. Natalie von Greyerz

All six Crowd1 defendants were charged with corporate money laundering of ~200 million SEK (~20.8 million USD), between March 2021 and December 2022.

Funds misappropriated through Crowd1 during this time were laundered through Impact Crowd Technology and ICT Ekonomi (registered as a shell company in various jurisdictions).

Following a criminal trial, the Stockholm District Court handed down three prison sentences on May 30th:

• Ann-Christine Sigvardsson was sentenced to four years in prison;
• Johan Westerdahl was sentenced to three years and six months in prison; and
• Natalie von Greyerz was sentenced to three years and six months in prison

Jens Lorentsson, Anneli Lundell, Conny Otteland were acquitted, with the state ordered to pay costs.

Crowd1 was co-founded by Tor Anders Petteroe (Norway, right) and Jonas Eric Werner (Sweden).

With respect to Crowd1, Petteroe mostly hides in the background. His current status and whereabouts are unknown.

Some points of interest in the seventy-nine page court order are Crowd1’s accounts being shut down by multiple banks and payment processors.

These include FNB Bank (South Africa), Paytah (Malta), Singular Bank (Spain) and Self Trade Bank (Spain), with the court noting

these circumstances also speak strongly in favor of the prosecutor’s claim that Crowd1’s activities have likely been fraudulent.

Despite ultimately finding “evidence in the case has shown that there was a significant risk that Crowd1’s revenue came from a business that was fraudulent”, the acquittals were handed down due to a lack of personal liability for the alleged fraudulent conduct (i.e. how involved they were in Crowd1).

Some of the prison sentences also no doubt stung on a personal level. Natalie von Greyerz’s judgment notes she has known Werner for “about 20 years”.

Jens Lorentsson programmed Crowd1’s backend and “knew Jonas Werner since the time he sold telephone subscriptions for ASN”.

Unfortunately despite prison sentenced being handed down in Sweden, Crowd1 continues to defraud consumers.

Jonas Werner (right) is the face of Crowd1 and continues to scam consumers whilst hiding out in Dubai.

Tor Petteroe has been defrauding consumers for decades, with Norwegian authorities failing to take action.

In an attempt to hide its fraud, today Crowd1 goes by C1:

As above, part of C1’s promotional strategy to continue defrauding consumers is marketing on BusinessForHome.

BusinessForHome was sold off to Vida Divina owner and CEO Armand Puyolt in February 2025.

Puyolt is also a member of the Association of Networking Marketing Professionals’s (ANMP) Board of Directors:

Whether Puyolt promoting Crowd1 on BusinessForHome reflects the ANMP endorsing promotion of MLM Ponzi schemes is unclear.
