CryptoGold Exchange fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

In fact as I write this, CryptoGold Exchange’s website domain is nothing more than a promoter signup/signin form:

CryptoGold Exchange’s website domain (“cryptogold.exchange”), was privately registered on July 2nd, 2025.

Offsite marketing reveals CryptoGold Exchange citing “Professor Robert” as its President and Founder:

That’s obviously an AI-generated image, and “Professor Robert” also appears in copious amounts of CryptoGold Exchange related AI slop.

I was ready to write Robert off as an AI creation when I came across this photo posted by Miles Segers in December 2025:

Roberts isn’t named by Segers but it prompted me to dig deeper. I came across this December 2025 YouTube video from Danny de Hek, titled “Global Gold Coin GGC Phone Call with Danny de Hek Vs Professor Robert (Robert Thomas Fletcher)“.

That was enough for me to figure out why we have “Professor Roberts” and AI-generated slop.

On social media Fletcher cites himself as being from Kenai, Alaska but living in Kyiv, Ukraine:

At this point I’d only seen the AI-generated slop, so I was half expecting Fletcher to have a typical eastern European accent. Turns out while there are posts on Fletcher’s FaceBook page in Russian (circa 2016), he does have a North American accent.

Sidenote: I know the premise of the just linked video is absolutely ridiculous but, other than noting Roberts appears to have had a stroke, the “Emperor of Jamaica” is unfortunately beyond the scope of this review.

Getting back to Robert Thomas Fletcher hiding behind “Professor Robert” and AI slop; the SEC filed a federal securities fraud lawsuit against Fletcher and three co-conspirators in September 2007.

Fletcher was ProVision’s chief executive officer, chairman and president from approximately July 2003 until March 2005.

The Commission’s complaint alleges that ProVision and Fletcher fraudulently raised millions of dollars from investors, and then Fletcher used the money for personal expenses and to support his lavish lifestyle, including purchasing jewelry and clothing, and for gambling.

A California federal court ordered Fletcher to pay $5 million is disgorgement and a $130,000 civil money penalty in August 2008. By that point Fletcher had already fled the US.

Fletcher fled the US in June 2006, after ProVision collapsed in 2005 but before the SEC filed suit in 2007. As reported by Kyiv Post in March 2008, Fletcher was arrested by Ukrainian authorities in November 2007.

Fletcher was caught with a fake Ukrainian passport on Nov. 9, 2007, when he attempted to cross into Russia by train. He spent 10 days in jail and was released on bail for $6,400, and later paid a small fine.

In June, the Dniprovsky precinct police station in Kyiv determined that Fletcher had used a fake Ukrainian passport to marry his wife, Olha Dubrovska, in Dnipropetrovsk, in August 2007.

He used the same passport to register his residence in Kyiv on Sept. 29, 2007.

After setting himself up with a wife to maintain residency, Fletcher set about defrauding Ukrainians through Global Systems Trainings, a series of investment scams hidden behind a “Millionaire Mentorship” mentoring scheme.

Ukrainian authorities arrested Fletcher again in November 2008 on suspicion of fraud. Investor losses were pegged at over $10 million.

By 2013 Fletcher’s criminal case had still not proceeded to trial;

Fletcher, 49, and eight Ukrainians are suspected of committing more than $10 million in fraud by promoting fictitious business projects while promising high returns on investments.

Fletcher, in addition, is accused of creating and heading an organized crime group and forgery.

Nearing the five-year mark in jail as legal proceedings against him drag on, Fletcher faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted. Kyiv’s Desniansky District Court is hearing the case expected to last into next year.

With a trial still pending after six years, in February 2015 Fletcher was released on pre-trial bail.

Fletcher’s trial drags on because many victims are difficult to find after so many years, with some having registered addresses in Russian-occupied Crimea and Donbas.

Fletcher’s trial delay is put down to Ukraine’s geopolitical situation at the time – the after-effects of which are still playing out today.

After Fletcher’s release in 2015 the case goes dark, there are no further publicly available records. Fletcher meanwhile has now turned up in the US with CryptoGold Exchange.

As of April 2026, SimilarWeb was tracking ~76,300 monthly CryptoGold Exchange website visits. This is a notable continuing reduction from ~350,000 visits in February.

Over April 2026, top sources of CryptoGold Exchange website traffic were the US (96%) and Indonesia (4%).

US dominance of CryptoGold Exchange brings us to Global Gold Coin (GGC), the crypto token CryptoGold Exchange solicits investment into.

Global Gold Coin is attached to Global Gold Mining Corp Inc., a Nevada shell company, and Global Gold LLC, a Florida shell company.

Unlike CryptoGold Exchange, which is fronted by an AI-generated avatar, several US residents have put their faces to Global Gold Coin.

Global Gold Coin has its own website on the domain “ggccorporate.com”, privately registered on January 16th, 2026.

In an official “presentation deck”, five Global Gold Coin Board of Directors are named:

• Keith Yarbrough – Elepreneurs, Vasayo
• Joe Reid – Text Cash Network, GladiaCoin
• Tommy Kemp – recent MLM history unknown
• Gary Cramer (aka Gary Neal Cramer, Gary Neal Cramer) – history of securities fraud

Trunori operates in the nutritional supplements MLM niche.

The company is tied to Trunori Scientific LLC, a Mississippi registered company owned by Christopher Collins, Danielle Collins and Donald King III.

Chris and Danielle Collins are cited as Trunori’s co-founders on its website. The Collinses are former top earners in  Le-vel. Chris Collins joined back in 2014.

It’s unclear why the Collinses left Le-vel.

Donald King III isn’t named on Trunori’s website. There’s a Donald O. King III in Mississippi who has appeared in unrelated legal filings and company registrations, but I’m not 100% sure it’s the same King.

Either way beyond being a Manager of Trunori Scientific LLC, it’s unclear what the connection between King III and Trunori as an MLM company is.

I’m also flagging Trunori Scientific LLC being registered in Mississippi given the Collinses are based out of Utah. Not sure what the story is there.

Read on for a full review of Trunori’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

Total Energy fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Total Energy’s website domain (“ntrenergy.dgy.one”), was privately registered on April 30th, 2026.

Note the “dgy.one” domain is associated with BG Wealth Sharing reboots and Riscoin. These are “click a button” app Ponzis run by the same group of Chinese scammers.

TLN Protocol fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TLN Protocol operates from the domain (“tlndapp.com”), was privately registered on January 28th, 2026.

TLN Protocol is known to BehindMLM as a failed reboot of The Last Network.

The Last Network was an MLM crypto Ponzi run by Biashara “Bish” Smeir (below).

The Last Network ran its fraudulent investment scheme through VOW token. Vow token is tied to Vow Network, which Smeir launched in 2019 as a reboot of his failed CashbackApp scheme.

Circa 2022 The Last Network and Vow Network were run through Enigmatic Smile, a UK shell company set up by Smeir.

Today there is no mention of Enigmatic Smile on TLN Protocol’s website. Vow Network is now run through The Vow Ecosystem Foundation, a shell company set up in the tax haven Jersey.

Any mention of Smeir on Vow Network’s website has also been scrubbed.

The Last Network collapsed through a “hackers!” exit-scam in August 2024.

At time of collapse, The Last Network’s website domain was “tlnprotocol.com”. Today that domain redirects to TLN Protocol’s “tlndapp.com” domain.

As per TLN Protocol’s website Terms and Conditions;

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In researching The Last Network in 2024, we noted the involvement of Joerg Wittke:

Wittke, a serial promoter of MLM crypto Ponzi schemes, is a German national hiding out in Dubai. Whether Smeir has also fled to Dubai is unclear.

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 TLN Protocol, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
