Important Update
Mario has been saying that he will repay the money but nothing substantial was delivered, so we viewed these claims as lies to make us reluctant to take legal action against him.
On Jan 29th, Mario reached out to Haytham (one of the victims defrauded and the maker of this website) and told him that he will start repaying the amount taken. He claimed that he was lied to and was a victim of defrauding himself. Whether this is true or not, remains unclear. Regardless, the money is still owed.
However, on the 30th of January, Mario sent 2000 euros. The agreement was to give him a second chance as he repays the loan. I decided to share this message transparently to anyone accessing this. The information written is my own subjective understanding based on what happened. I am just a skeptical spectator at the time. But every time Mario repays something, I will add it below. accessing this. The information written is my own subjective understanding based on what happened.

Mario Grasbock
Mario Grasbock is a con-artist, a fraudster who committed many defrauding and money laundering crimes. He is a skilled manipulator and displays signs of psychopathy or sociopathy such as lack of remorse, cunning manipulation, lack of empathy (yet having an uncanny ability to mimic it), chronic lying and impulsivity.
Mario has defrauded multiple people claiming that he is an investor trying to help them, with a pure intention of building a wellness center to heal people and animals. All of these turned out to be lies. What we know as of now is that Mario builds trust to exploit his victims. Keep in mind, Mario is really skilled at lying and manipulation and can sound truthful but his actions don't match his words.
Techniques Mario Grasbock use to defraud victims
- Compliments and love-bombing of victims.
- Long cons after building up trust over time.
- Sending fake balance and transfer bank statements.
- Meditating with his victims, and having shared experiences to build trust.
- Identifying a need that the victim desires and faking the ability to provide it.
- Use of a fictious story about his desire to build a healing foundation.
