Golden Way Review: Dubai Boris CEO Ponzi trifecta
Golden Way provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
Golden Way’s website domain (“goldenway.world”), was privately registered on June 6th, 2021.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Golden Way provides incorporation documents for Dubai:
Dubai is a scam-friendly jurisdiction that provides a lawless haven for scammers.
Any MLM company hinging its legitimacy on ties to Dubai is an immediate red flag.
One interesting thing to note is, despite Golden Way’s current website domain being only seven months old, the company originally launched back in 2019.
The first video uploaded to Golden Way’s YouTube channel is an office opening in Dubai.
The video appears to feature actors. The woman represented to be running Golden Way speaks Russian.
Golden Way has long gotten rid of the original actors it hired to front the company. Today different actors are used to represent Golden Way spokespeople:
As opposed to Dubai, Golden Way’s official FaceBook page is managed from Ukraine:
Once again we have a faceless MLM company run by eastern Europeans pretending to be in Dubai.
At time of publication Alexa ranks top sources of traffic to Golden Way’s website as Saudi Arabia (44%), Algeria (30%) and Egypt (3%).
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.

Personally recruited investment volume is investment from personally recruited affiliates.
Downline investment volume is funds invested by your total downline (direclty and indirectly recruited affiliates).
Recruitment Commissions
Golden Way affiliates earn 5% of funds invested by personally recruited affiliates.
Residual Commissions
Golden Way pays residual commissions via a unilevel compensation structrue.
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.
Commissions on funds invested across the unilevel team are based on rank:
- Partner – 10%
- Manager – 10.5%
- Gold Manager – 11%
- Mentor – 11.5%
- Gold Mentor – 12%
- Master – 12.5%
- Gold Master – 13%
- Director – 13.5%
- Bronze Director – 14%
- Silver Director – 14.5%
- Gold Director – 15%
- Platinum Director – 15.5%
- Topaz Director – 16%
- Sapphire Director – 16.5%
- Ruby Director – 17%
- Emerald Director – 17.5%
- Black Diamond Director – 18%
- Diamond Director – 18.5%
- King Diamond – 19%
Residual commissions come into play by way of 19% being paid out on every investment.
This sees higher ranked affiliates paid the difference between their ranked residual commission rate and lesser ranked affiliates in their unilevel team.
E.g. a Master recruits someone who invests €1000 EUR.
The Master is paid their 12.5%, leaving 6.5% to pay out.
The system searches upline for a Gold Master or higher to pay the remaining percentage out to.
If a Sapphire Director was found first, they’d receive 4% (the difference between 16.5% and 12.5%), still leaving 2.5% to pay out.
The system would continue to search upline for either a Ruby Director or higher.
This continues until a King Diamond is found, at which point whatever is then left to pay out is paid out.
Note that nothing is ever passed up from King Diamond affiliates.
Speaker Bonus
Golden Way rewards affiliate speakers (that term isn’t defined), with “additional income from the whole structure”.
Specifics aren’t provided but this is obviously a reference to downline sales volume.

Golden Way Conclusion
Golden Way represents its affiliates are investing in gold. To that end the company purports to sell gold on its website:
This has nothing to do with the MLM side of the business. It’s simply a ruse to mask new investment being used to pay existing Golden Way investors.
For starters, investing in gold doesn’t generate a consistent 530.4% annual ROI.
Golden Way don’t provide any explanation for the returns offered.
Even if they did, this brings us back to the meaningless Dubai documents. Golden Way fails to provide audited financial reports detailing any external revenue generation.
This is because there isn’t any.
Furthermore, Golden Way is not registered to offer securities in any of its primary investment markets.
Boris CEOs, Dubai and Ukrainian scammers – the Ponzi trifecta.
The only impact the gold ruse has on Golden Way’s Ponzi scheme is an excuse to charge affiliates a 20% withdrawal fee. This is in lieu of taking an imaginary gold delivery.
Such to the extent Golden Way might be pressed on this, they’d no doubt buy gold with what they’d have to pay out anyway. Everything, including delivery, would then be billed to the withdrawing affiliate.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Golden Way of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
Update 6th January 2022 – The GoldenWay Ponzi scheme has collapsed.
Update 23rd September 2024 – Golden Way is being rebooted as Golden Grove.
I will be wait you in the conference of the golden way I 14/5-15/5 in France.
I will sent you persola the info. And you can see the CEO of the company.
Have they found an actor to play Golden Way’s CEO?
Why do I have to wait till May? Does it take that long to memorize the event script?
No is not a actor my friend . I know olesia more of 5 years. From here I see what person you are.
You right something for one company without know exactly the marketing plan. I’m client in golden way more of 2 years.
(Ozedit: derails removed)
Golden Way is a blindingly obvious pyramid marketing, Ponzi scam.
So the published marketing plan is not exactly the marketing plan? Why is your friend of five years publishing lies?
Never mind. Obvious scam is obvious. NOT sorry for your loss.
No idea who Olesia is. One of the actors fronting Golden Way?
This review is literally based on Golden Way’s marketing plan.
I get the need to protect the investment spent on actors, rented offices, branded mugs and flags etc. But Golden Way is your typical Boris CEO Ponzi.
Website traffic falling, which is why you’re here. Unless you find new victims looks like the Golden Way party is over.
Received from Constantinos Stavrou via email:
Request denied. I await to hear from the “internet policy”.
admire Behindmlm because it investigates businesses of all kinds, on many occasions, in most cases its investigation is correct, but in others it is wrong.
here for example with this company Golden Way at no point has it been investigated, they are only allegations.
I would like you to thoroughly investigate the points of your investigation. if its registrations in dubai are false, the registered trademark was an invention, the store that sells gold and other products that does have proof that it does not reach the customer but rather a piece of rock or can, and that the mines in sierra leone it is a photoshop mounted, and that it is only land there is nothing of gold.
behindmlm because of the prestige it has, it cannot fall into lack of professionalism, investigate Olesia and ask her what theater or acting school she studied at, you assert that they are actors, interviewed him? called him?
behindmlm you are professionals, investigate and stop making Fake news.
Everybody loves BehindMLM… until we review your scam.
Yeah, nah. Golden Way is the usual Boris CEO in Dubai Ponzi nonsense.
1. Anything MLM in Dubai is a scam.
2. This is all marketing bullshit. Registration with financial regulators and audited financial reports or Ponzi.
MLM + Dubai = scam
MLM + Boris CEO marketing videos = scam
MLM + securities fraud = scam
Sorry for your loss.
that is not analysis, I remember when you investigated Onecoin or Telexfree, even another paymoney, in them you made a detailed analysis of the business, offices, ceos, products or services, but here your comment is poor, (Ozedit: snip, see below)
OneCoin review: https://behindmlm.com/mlm-reviews/onecoin-review-100-5000-eur-ponzi-point-cryptocurrency/
TelexFree review: https://behindmlm.com/companies/telexfree-review-spam-the-internet-for-20-a-week/
The reason those reviews are lengthier is because Golden Way is a much simpler Ponzi scheme.
Dubai + Boris CEO = low-effort scam.
Low-effort scam = shorter review.
The analysis behind the reviews is the same. I know this because I wrote all three.
If you want to address Golden Way committing securities fraud because it’s a Ponzi scheme, i.e. the content of the review, feel free.
If you want to carry on like a porkchop (this Ponzi review isn’t as long as your other Ponzi reviews! Really?), do it somewhere else. Thanks.
Hi,
Why don’t you say that Olysia Galusha was among the Swissgolden crooks?
I don’t know who that person is (???).
Olesya Galusha = CEO of goldenway.
Swissgolden = swissgold market = scammer

Either I’m missing something or you’re confused.
This is a review on Golden Way. Nobody mentioned Swiss anything until you came along.
Unfortunately, all of this is just lies..There must be credibility in writing about a leading company like ✨Golden✨Way✨, which has been going on for 3 years and has been making real profits..
Everything mentioned in this article is just lies and great hatred and it seems that the person who He wrote these lies. He works for a competing company.
How can you compete with the ✨Golden✨Way✨ company..and we are the shareholders with the ✨Golden✨Way company, we know more about the company than him and we know that it is honest.
New recruit?
Ackshually…
Bit of projection going on with lies defending financial fraud hey.
Or y’know, Golden Way is an obvious Boris CEO Ponzi. Sorry for your loss.
I have always doubted your analyses until I got scam more than once.
Those who keep doubting you will understand very soon. I just pity their hard earn money they will loss in the process.
Unfortunately most people only learn the hard way.
This is correct . Haku is right.
Olesya Galusha the current CEO of Goldenway was N°3 of Swissgold market (fraud) and previously swissgolden.

I must strongly agree with the above report and I will say it is an excellent work, well done.
The only thing I must add is that a serious company that want legaly to protect itself with dissclaimers and secure itself under the law from a potential loss of customer capital; will and must request the customers to sign documentations that will provide such security to the company, that seems not to be the case for the aforementioned good company.
I know first hand that no agreement between company and customer exist regarding loss of capital or its guarantee whatsoever.
So I think it seems they found another way to protect themselves without however sharing that with the rest of us.
So take cover and restrain your animal spirits no matter the odds.
Outside of Dubai, who never do anything because corruption, no regulator has ever not investigated a scam because of disclaimers.
Golden way SCAM
zupimages.net/up/23/01/u0kh.png
I am a low-paid worker in the UAE. I trusted with Golden Way and invested more than four thousand euros in Golden Way, but I haven’t made a profit since January.
The bank is going to file a lawsuit against the cash used to repay the loan. My three-year-old daughter cannot even afford milk now that I am out of cash.
Is it possible for you not to return my asset to me, or do you want to drive my family and me to suicide? Giving me cash would help my family and me move forward in life.
Otherwise, we will bid adieu to the world by giving the Dubai Police this message, the message sent by the Golden Way, and all of my Golden Way Asset Certificates. Whenever the Dubai police find my cash, they can give it to the poor in my absence.
We beg you to help us move forward with our lives, Please don’t push it.
Despite my regrets, I have no choice but to write as I have to.
Thank You
You invested into a Ponzi scheme and your money is gone. Dubai Police aren’t going to do anything.
Sorry about your family situation but this is your financial reality now.
