BTTycoon provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

As I write this BTTycoon’s website only offers a mobile subdomain, which is essentially a marketing pitch for the company’s app.

No information about who owns or runs BTTycoon is provided.

BTTycoon’s website domain (“bttycoon.net”) was registered on March 23rd, 2020. Domain ownership details are not available.

BTTycoon’s domain was purchased through a Chinese registrar. The company’s website is also hosted with a Chinese provider.

Along with BTTycoon’s marketing material being presented in Chinese, this suggests whoever owns the company at the very least speaks Chinese.

There’s a strong likelihood BTTycoon’s owner is based out of South-east Asia in a Chinese speaking country.

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.

BTTycoon’s Products

BTTycoon’s Compensation Plan

BTTycoon affiliates invest BitTorrent tokens (BTT), on the promise of advertised returns.

I’ve marked some of the investment plans as paying over an undisclosed amount of days, as the BTTycoon presentation cited for this review had those figures blocked out.

If you’re wondering about the investment and return overlap, it’s because BTTycoon only permits investment between 9am to 9 PM.

Plans are available in time-limited pairs of two throughout these hours.

BTTycoon affiliates are also restricted on how many plans they can invest in, based from the first date they invested.

BTTycoon Affiliate Ranks

There are three affiliate ranks within BTTycoon’s compensation plan.

Along with their respective qualification criteria, they are as follows:

  • Ordinary Headhunter – sign up as a BTTycoon affiliate and invest
  • Senior Headhunter – generate 20 investment contracts across your personally recruited affiliates or 50 investment contracts down three levels of recruitment
  • Expert Headhunter – generate 50 investment contracts across your personally recruited affiliates or 100 investment contracts down three levels of recruitment

Residual Commissions

BTTycoon pays residual commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

BTTycoon caps payable unilevel team levels at twenty.

Residual commissions are paid out as a percentage of returns paid to affiliates across these twenty levels based on rank:

  • Ordinary Headhunters receive 5% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates), 3% on level 2 and 2% on level 3
  • Senior Headhunters receive 5% on level 1, 3% on level 2, 2% on level 3 and 1% on levels 4 to 10
  • Expert Headhunters receive 5% on level 1, 3% on level 2, 2% on level 3 and 1% on levels 4 to 20

Joining BTTycoon

BTTycoon affiliate membership appears to be free.

Full participation in BTTycoon’s attached income opportunity requires a minimum 150,000 BTT investment.

Conclusion

BitTorrent token is your typical pointless token. And this is reflected in the token’s trading value history.

BTT public trading began on or around February 2019 at $0.000467. in May 2019 BTT pumped to $0.001753.

This prompted early adopters (pumpers) to cash out, and BTT has since dumped to about half of what it originally traded at.

Over the past few months, BTT has risen back to $0.0004 or so.

BTT was launched by BitTorrent Inc., who today go by Rainberry Inc.

Rainberry Inc. is owned by TRON, a cryptocurrency company founded by Justin Sun in 2017.

On Twitter Rainberry Inc. still goes by BitTorrent Inc., and for their part they’re wholly supportive of BTTycoon.

Why does any of this matter?

Rainberry Inc. is headquartered in the US state of California, and BTTycoon is quite obviously committing securities fraud.

BTT itself is a TRC-10 shittoken. It’s created out of thin air on the TRON network at little to no cost.

Basically it’s TRON’s version of the ethereum erc-20 shittokens, which by and large are only used to commit financial fraud – at least in the MLM sector.

So we have BTTycoon adopting BTT, with the support of US company Rainberry Inc., to commit securities fraud.

BTTycoon’s securities fraud is rooted in their offering of passive returns on BTT investment.

You sign up as a BTTycoon investor, invest your BTT through the company’s app and collect a passive return.

Commissions are paid on BTT returns paid to recruited downlines, adding an additional pyramid layer to the scheme.

BTT is of course currently worth a fraction of a cent, and all of this is set up in the hope BTT will pump.

Rainberry Inc. has a vested financial interest in BTT pumping. TRON and the companies it owns hold 58.9% of BTT (as per the Feb 2019 BTT whitepaper).

It seems they’re not fussed how BTT is resurrected, even if that means supporting third-parties engaged in securities fraud.

Neither TRON, Rainberry Inc. or BTTycoon are registered with the SEC. BTTycoon as the issuer of the security (passive investment opportunity), is most definitely illegal.

TRON might also find itself in hot water should the SEC investigate, as promotion of unregistered securities is also illegal.

Not withstanding any undisclosed financial arrangements that might exist between TRON, any of its subsidiaries and BTTycoon.

Getting back to BTTycoon’s MLM opportunity, it’s your usual pump and dump story-line.

Like TRON, whoever owns BTTycoon is also likely sitting on a ton of BTT they want to cash out – but not at the price they paid for it.

Cue BTTycoon, which serves as a recruitment tool to rope new investors into BTT.

New suckers come on board and pay real money for worthless BTT tokens. The hope is that this pumps BTT, allowing BTTycoon’s owners and early adopters to cash out.

That will inevitably cause another dump, which leaves the majority of BTTycoon affiliates bagholding a worthless token and taking a loss.

Transfer of non-wealth etc. etc.
