Aurum Foundation has received a pyramid fraud warning from the Central Bank of Russia (CBR).

As per CBR’s July 18th, 2025 warning, Aurum Foundation exhibits “signs of a financial pyramid”.

Aurum Foundation is a Dubai MLM crypto Ponzi that launched mid 2024. MLM Ponzi schemes are almost always also pyramid schemes.

Originally a Boris CEO Ponzi, typical of eastern European scammers, today Aurum Foundation is publicly fronted by CEO Bryan Benson.

Tying in with CBR’s warning and Boris CEO Ponzi schemes typically being run by Russians, when BehindMLM reviewed Aurum Foundation we found Russian in its website source-code:

Bryan Benson is based out of Dubai. It is likely the Russian scammers actually running Aurum Foundation are also hiding out in Dubai.

As of December 2025, Similar Web was tracking ~160,000 monthly Aurum Foundation website visits. Top sources of Aurum Foundation website traffic are the US (49%), Greece (32%) and the UK (10%).
