TMX Global Review: Money laundering pyramid scheme

TMX Global fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TMX Global’s website domain (“tmxglobal.io”), was privately registered on July 14th, 2025.

One name we can attach to TMX Global is Brian Rhodes:

As above, Rhodes hosts official TMX Global corporate webinars.

Brian Rhodes is a US national and serial promoter of MLM crypto Ponzi schemes. Originally from the Missouri, Rhodes has since relocated to the Dominican Republic.

BehindMLM first came across Rhodes in 2022 as a promoter of Biman Das’ FastBNB Ponzi scheme.

After FastBNB collapsed we ran into Rhodes again with Easymatic and QunoMine. Other collapsed MLM Ponzi schemes Rhodes has promoted include CoinMarketBullVortic United and InvesableAI.

BehindMLM last came across Rhodes in August 2024, as co-founder of the TradeTribe Ponzi scheme.

TradeTribe was a reboot of the collapsed Capitalium Ponzi scheme.

While TradeTribe’s website is still up, the site has an expired security certificate. This is indicative of TradeTribe’s website having been abandoned due to collapse.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]

CapitalSpring Review: Dubai MLM crypto Ponzi

CapitalSpring fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

CapitalSpring’s website domain (“credi-spring.org”), was privately registered on August 17th, 2025.

One name we can attach to CapitalSpring is David Kalu, author of CapitalSpring’s marketing documents:

In an attempt to appear legitimate, CapitalSpring provides a London, UK address on its website. This address doesn’t appear to have anything to do with CapitalSpring.

Of note is CapitalSpring providing different addresses in its marketing documents:

Mauritius is a scam-friendly jurisdiction with little to no regulation of MLM related securities fraud.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

  1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
  2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to CapitalSpring, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

TCPatel Review: Quantitative trading “click a button” Ponzi

TCPatel fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TCPatel operates from two known website domains:

  • tcpatelfunds.com (already abandoned) – privately registered on June 15th, 2025
