Armstrong Energy is run by persons unknown. The company information presented on its website is hijacked from Armstrong Oil and Gas.

Armstrong Oil and Gas was founded in 1984 and is headed up by Bill Armstrong. The oil exploration company is based out of Denver, Colorado.

Armstrong Energy essentially has cloned Armstrong Oil and Gas, at least on paper,and presented it as one and the same.

Armstrong Energy represents it is also headed by Bill Armstrong. Photos and marketing copy appearing on Armstrong Energy’s website has been plagiarized from coverage of Armstrong Oil and Gas.

Armstrong Energy’s website domain (“official-aellc.com”) was privately registered on December 19th, 2019.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Armstrong Energy provides a corporate address in Anchorage, Alaska on its website.

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.

Conclusion

From its company name, formation and business model, everything about Armstrong Energy is fraudulent.

There aren’t any actual ties I can see between Armstrong Energy and Armstrong Oil and Gas.

Given that, the implication that Armstrong Energy’s returns are tied to energy revenue is baloney.

Armstrong Energy’s business model is that of a Ponzi scheme. You sign up, invest and are paid returns out of subsequently invested funds.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dies down so too will ROI revenue.

This will starve Armstrong Energy of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.

Whether that happens before Armstrong Oil and Gas catch wind and take action is another story.
