Split The Winnings fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Split The Winnings’ website domain (“splitthewinnings.com”), was privately registered on December 4th, 2024.

Split The Winnings’ website source-code references “Share The Winnings LLC and an address in Indiana:

Share The Winnings was an MLM pyramid scheme run by serial pyramid scheme launcher Jeremy Duncan (right).

Share The Winnings emerged in late 2023. Share The Winnings’ website is still up today but, as of February 2024, SimilarWeb was tracking just ~4200 monthly website visits.

This isn’t nothing but it’s indicative of a pyramid scheme collapsing.

Harvest Finance fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

Harvest Finance’s website domain (“harvest-finance.io”), was privately in September 2023. The private registration was last updated on October 29th, 2024.

Harvest Finance is purportedly headed up by “Richard Green”:

Green doesn’t exist outside of Harvest Finance, making him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

The actor playing Green has a British accent. Most of Harvest Finance’s marketing featuring Green appears to be staged across south-east Asia. This suggests the actor playing Green is likely a British expat living in Asia.

Supporting this are curated Richard Green social media profiles created in 2024. Green’s video appearances also appear to be shot either from a mobile or laptop in front of a green screen.

As to who’s actually running Harvest Finance, typically Boris CEO MLM schemes are run by eastern European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and Belarus).

Another possibility when it comes to Boris CEO MLM schemes operating from Asia is Chinese scammers.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Harvest Finance provides shell company certificates for the UK and Thailand.

Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence these certificates are meaningless.

Earning Builder fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Supposedly Earning Builder is headed up by CEO “Andrew Irvine”:

Irvine doesn’t exist outside of Earning Builder marketing. This is because he’s a Boris CEO played by Ukrainian national Oleksandr Krolevets (Олександр Кролевець):

As to who’s actually running Earning Builder, Boris CEO MLM schemes are typically run by eastern European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and Belarus).

Earning Builder’s website domain (‘earningbuilder.com”), was registered on August 17th, 2022.

Andrew Irvine through an incomplete address in Colorado is listed as the domain owner. Given we know Irvine doesn’t exist, we can confirm Earning Builder’s domain was registered with bogus details.

RideBNB was an MLM crypto gifting scheme launched towards the end of 2024.

By February 2025 RideBNB had inevitably collapsed. The domain “ridebnb.world” was privately registered on February 19th, 2025.

On this (the fifth known RideBNB domain), RideBNB is still being advertised. It is unclear though whether this was a short-lived reboot or recovery scammers.

Either way, RideBNB promoters made the switch to RainBNB – a purported official reboot of the original gifting scam. [Continue reading…]
