Exfusion Review: Tag Markets investment fraud
Exfusion operates from a subdomain “exfusion.ibportal.io”. The root domain, “ibportal.io”, was privately registered on October 19th, 2025.
The “ibportal.io” root domain is disabled. A search for the domain reveals multiple Tag Markets associated schemes operating from it.
Beyond its “ibportal.io” subdomain, Exfusion is run through a shady Telegram group named @exfusioninternationalofficial.
Names we can attach through Exfusion marketing material are serial fraudsters.
First we have Asker Sakinmaz:

Sakinmaz, from Turkey, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as CEO of the FlexKom pyramid scheme in 2013.
FlexKom was rebooted as Weeconomy in 2019. Weeconomy marked a transition to MLM related crypto fraud.
In his capacity as a FlexKom executive, Sakinmaz was convicted on fraud charges in Belgium in 2020. Sakinmaz, convicted in absentia, was sentenced to forty months in prison and an €18,000 EUR fine.
After Weeconomy collapsed, in 2021 Sakinmaz resurfaced as part of Safir International’s “circle of trust”.

Safir International was an MLM crypto Ponzi built around Zeniq Coin. The scam collapsed in 2023.
After Safir International Sakinmaz resurfaced as Director of Sales for the AiConnects MLM crypto Ponzi.
AiConnects’ website is still up but its social media was abandoned in October 2025.
Another name we can attach to Exfusion is Michael Baur:

As above, Baur is running official Exfusion and NeoFX marketing webinars.
In 2019 a BehindMLM reader tied Baur to the CMMT Revolution Ponzi scheme. In August 2022, another BehindMLM reader tied Baur to the collapsed PLC Ultima series of Ponzi schemes.
Baur resurfaced in 2024 to front the Skainet Systems Ponzi scheme.

Skainet Systems collapsed in June 2025. A short-lived Cermak reboot collapsed in July 2025.
Baur resurfaced in September 2025 as CMO of the Nexxano pyramid scheme. Nexxano’s website is still up but Baur is assumed to have ditched the scam and moved on with Exfusion.
On a December 9th Exfusion marketing presentation, Baur confirmed he resides in Dubai.
Exfusion marketing material cites partnership with Tag Markets:

This is because Exfusion is run on Tag Markets, an MLM investment fraud factory owned by Jared Esguerra:

On social media, Esguerra represents he works in “financial services” and is based out of Dubai;

In addition to Esguerra Tag Markets was co-founded by CEO Kevin Marin Valez, a “digital creator” and “business administrator” based out of Colombia.

As per the “Kevin Marin” marketing slide above, Tag Markets is represented to be operating from Columbia [sic] and Dubai.
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:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- 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 Exfusion, read on for a full review.
Exfusion’s Products
Exfusion has no retailable products or services.
Promoters are only able to market Exfusion promoter membership itself.
Exfusion’s Compensation Plan
Exfusion pitches consumers on an unregistered trading scheme that promises $2.4 million funding off a $100,000 investment.

The passive return is derived through a “NeoFX” trading bot offered by Tag Markets. A Sonic bot is also offered.

Full participation in Exfusion’s MLM opportunity requires a minimum $250 investment into a Tag Markets trading bot.

The MLM side of Exfusion pays on purported trading activity by recruited promoters.
Trading Activity Commissions
Exfusion pays commissions on automated trading via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places a promoter at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited promoter placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 promoters recruit new promoters, they are placed on level 2 of the original promoter’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 promoters recruit new promoters, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
Exfusion caps payable trading activity commissions at ten unilevel team levels.
Commissions are paid per “trading lot” executed across these ten levels:
- level 1 (personally recruited promoters) – $2
- level 2 – $1 (must recruit one promoter who maintain a minimum $250 investment to unlock)
- level 3 – $1 (must recruit two promoters who maintain a minimum $250 investment to unlock)
- level 4 – $1 (must recruit three promoters who maintain a minimum $250 investment to unlock)
- levels 5 to 10 – 50 cents (must recruit four promoters who maintain a minimum $250 investment to unlock)
Note Exfusion does not define trading lot amounts or frequency in its marketing material.
ROI Match
Exfusion pays a match on returns purportedly derived through trading:
- level 1 – 4 to 9% match
- level 2 – 3% to 8% match
- level 3 – 2% to 7% match
- levels 4 and 5 – 1% to 6% match
Variable match rates are supposedly explained by this confusing chart:

As best I can make out “Team Volumen” is convincing suckers to invest, the rest of the chart doesn’t make much sense.
Infinity Bonus
Exfusion pays an up to 5% Infinity Bonus. The Infinity Bonus is an additional match on daily returns paid to downline Exfusion investors:
- generate $100,000 in downline investment and receive a 1% Infinity Bonus
- generate $300,000 in downline investment and receive a 2% Infinity Bonus
- generate $1,000,000 in downline investment and receive a 3% Infinity Bonus
- generate $5,000,000 in downline investment and receive a 4% Infinity Bonus
- generate $20,000,000 in downline investment and receive a 5% Infinity Bonus
Global Pools
Exfusion takes 2% of trading lot fees and splits them into two 1% Global Pools:
- generate $300,000 in downline investment a month and receive a share in a $1 lot pool (1%)
- generate $1,000,000 in downline investment a month and receive a share in a $1.5 lot pool (1%)
Downline Investment Bonus
Exfusion marketing suggests Tag Markets is funding three downline investment bonuses:

- generate $500,000 in downline investment volume for two consecutive months and receive a Rolex watch valued at up to $15,000
- qualify for the $1,000,000 Global Pool for two consecutive months and receive another Rolex watch valued at up to $25,000
- generate $3,000,000 in downline investment over six consecutive months and receive a “new family home”
Joining Exfusion
Exfusion promoter accounts are tied to Tag Markets accounts, which are offered free of charge.
Through Tag markets, Exfusion solicits investment in fiat and various cryptocurrencies.
A minimum $250 investment is required if investing in cryptocurrency. $500 is required if investing through bank transfer.
Exfusion Conclusion
Exfusion is another instance of investment fraud being committed through Tag Markets.

Exfusion pitches consumers on passive returns, purportedly generated via various trading investment schemes:

In offering automated passive returns to consumers, Exfusion and Tag Markets are required to register with financial regulators in jurisdictions they solicit investment in. Specifically, securities and commodities regulators.

Exfusion fails to provide evidence it has registered with financial regulators in any jurisdiction. Tag Markets is owned by parent company T.M. Financials Ltd, a company incorporated in Mauritius.

This corresponds with two purported financial licenses, which outside of Mauritius itself are meaningless.

Tag Markets’ website also cites “Tag Markets Ltd”, a purported Saint Lucia shell company.
Tag Market only having ties to shell companies in two dodgy jurisdictions is an immediate reg flag. To that end Tag Markets has already attracted the attention of financial regulators.
Dutch authorities issued a T.M. Financials Ltd fraud warning in July 2025:

While Tag Markets solicits USD equivalent investment in cryptocurrency, the company also accepts bank transfers for euros and other currencies.
This takes place through a SettleGo Solutions bank account, registered in T.M. Financials’ name:

SettleGo Solutions is a UK financial services company dba OpenPayd. SettleGo Solutions represents it holds financial licenses in the UK, Malta and Canada.
Note that while SettleGo Solutions represents it is “authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority” (the UK’s top financial regulator), the company states on its website:
Information related to digital assets is directed only at persons outside the United Kingdom and must not be acted upon by persons in the United Kingdom.
Whether SettleGo Solutions is aware Tag Markets are using it to commit investment fraud from Dubai is unclear.
Exfusion is the third instance of Tag Markets MLM investment fraud BehindMLM has documented, following Crowd1 and Zeus Funding.
As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering Tag Markets for use in Exfusion’s unregistered investment scheme is new investment.
Using new investment to pay ROI withdrawals would make Exfusion a Ponzi scheme.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once promoter recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Exfusion of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse. Whether this would trigger a Tag Markets collapse, or whether they intend to manage scams collapsing individually is unclear.
What is clear when a Ponzi scheme inevitably collapses, the majority of participants lose money.
