Nvisionu Review v2: IM Academy with supplements & travel
BehindMLM reviewed Nvisionu back in August 2022. Decent retail focus, overpriced e-learning courses, white labeled supplements of unknown origin – Nvisionu was a bit of a mixed bag.
Back in March a BehindMLM reader claimed the review was out of date. As such, today we’re revisiting Nvisionu for a review update.
The Company
Nvisionu was co-founded by former IM Mastery Academy promoters David Imonitie and Ivan Tapia.
The biggest development since 2022 regarding Imonitie and Tapia, within the context of them being IM Mastery Academy top earners, took place outside of Nvisionu.
The FTC filed suit against IM Mastery Academy in May 2025, alleging $1.2 billion in fraud.
Neither Imonitie or Tapia were named defendants in the FTC’s suit, but both participated in, promoted and profited off of the alleged underlying fraud.
Both Imonitie and Tapia still feature on Nvisionu’s website as co-founders of the company.

Note required PV and GV must be met and maintained over a rolling 4-week period.
PV stands for “Personal Volume”. PV is generated via retail orders and a promoters own orders. Note for rank qualification only a promoter’s own order is counted as PV.
GV stands for “Group Volume”. GV is the total PV generated by an Nvisionu promoter and their downline.
Note that up to 50% of required GV can be counted from each side of the binary team.
A binary compensation structure places a promoter at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of promoters. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
Recruitment Commissions
Nvisionu rewards promoters for recruiting promoters.
Recruitment commissions are tied to how much a recruited promoter pays for a promoter pack:
- recruit an Nvisionu Core pack promoter and receive $25
- recruit an Nvisionu Essential pack promoter and receive $50

Nvisionu’s compensation plan states a promoter pack purchase is required to qualify for recruitment commissions:

Joining Nvisionu
Basic Nvisionu promoter membership is $19.99 plus the purchase of a “Digital Pack” or “Product Pack” monthly subscription.
On Nvisionu’s website “Digital Packs” and “Product Packs” are as follows:
- Digital Bronze – $200 and then $130 a month (1 digital course)
- Product Bronze – $239 and then $150 a month (9 sprays ???)
- Digital Silver – $500 and then $190 a month (2 digital courses)
- Product Silver – $599 and then $190 a month (9 sprays ???)
- Digital Gold – $1000 and then $250 a month (4 digital courses)
- Product Gold – $1199 and then $280 a month (54 sprays ???)
Note there are currently no spray products on Nvisionu’s website.
Further adding to the confusion, Nvisionu’s compensation plan only details three promoter packs:
- Nvisionu Core – $250
- Nvision Essential – $500
- Nvisionu Premier – $1000
No explanation on these packs is provided, nor is it clear whether there are ongoing monthly fees.
What we do know is Nvisionu requires promoters to purchase these packs to qualify for commissions (see “Recruitment Commissions” in “Nvisionu’s Compensation Plan” above).
Nvisionu Conclusion
Nvisionu has taken a big step back from the opportunity BehindMLM reviewed in 2022. Nvisionu today is essentially a clone of IM Mastery Academy but with supplements and travel.
This is what IM Mastery Academy owners Chris and Isis Terry feared when they sued in 2022, labelling Nvisionu a “competing company”.
Ironically it was Nvisionu’s legal compliance back then that separated it from IM Mastery Academy. Today that is no longer the case.
Nvisionu’s retail customer requirements are gone, with promoters now forced to spend money to qualify for commissions.
This is strongly indicative of Nvisionu’s offering having little to no retail viability, instead having to rely on forced promoter purchases to generate commissionable revenue.
It also means Nvisionu is operating as a pyramid scheme.
Disclosure issues are a major problem, with Nvisionu failing to disclose to consumers who is behind the majority of offered services.
The only disclosure Nvisionu makes is its FL2 app being “powered by BFX” in tiny print. Nvisionu having ties to BFX is another major red flag.
BFX Standard began as Enigma Network in late 2021. Although they didn’t front BFX Standard, J. Joshua Beistle and Doug Wellens are believed to have been behind the company.
Besitle and Wellens have a prior history of involvement in various MLM Ponzi and pyramid schemes. Enigma Network itself engaged in securities fraud through automated crypto and forex trading.
Enigma Network was rebooted as BFX Standard in late 2022. The last post on BFX Standard’s official FaceBook page is dated January 2nd, 2023.
A visit to BFX Standard’s website domain today reveals it has since been disabled. BehindMLM noted back in February this year that BFX Standard’s original website had been replaced with Nvisionu branding:
While their doesn’t appear to be any automated trading offered through Nvisionu, Beistle and Wellens having anything to do with the company is a problem for obvious reasons.
As to the rest of Nvisionu’s disclosure failings, in its lawsuit against IM Mastery Academy the FTC noted;
Defendants have asserted that the “core value” of IML’s Trading Training Services is in the GoLIVE sessions, led by IML instructors.
Many of these instructors, however, lack any formal investment training, instead obtaining their “training” from IML or by watching videos on YouTube.
Moreover, many of the instructors do not possess securities industry licenses or accreditation. And, contrary to Defendants’ marketing claims, many of the instructors lack real-world trading experience and success.
Who is behind Nivisonu’s training matters, and this information is withheld from consumers.
The general presentation of Nvisionu’s products and services is also a mess:
Surely there’s a better way to present these options to consumers? It’s all very confusing for first-time visitors to Nvisionu’s website.
Also confusing is completely different promoter pack pricing on Nvisionu’s website and compensation plan. Maybe Nvisionu has a digital course on “information presentation” for whoever is in charge of its website design?
I would mention Nvisionu’s product/service pricing but, in light of forced promoter purchases, it doesn’t matter (notwithstanding FL2 app pricing isn’t provided). Retail viability goes out the window when your primary market is your own promoters with forced orders.
Moving on to Nvisionu’s compensation plan, pyramid scheme warning flags begin with forcing promoters to place orders to qualify for commissions:
In order to make a fast start you need to have a [sic] active visionary kit, and being active with your minimum order of 50 CV or retail customers.
Then, in order to keep qualifying for commissions, Nvisionu promoters must maintain a 50 PV or higher 4-week order:
In order to receive the LEAP bonus, you need to be active with your Visionary kit, and active with your personal minimum order, 50 CV.
This is “pay to play” and in MLM one of the strongest indicators of a pyramid scheme.
In addition to being a violation of the FTC Act, when you run an MLM company with forced purchases you wind up with promoters getting paid on purchases by those they recruit.
This comes at the expense of retail, with the FTC clearly warning that MLM companies that don’t generate significant retail sales are pyramid schemes.
This is why Nvisionu had retail volume qualifiers to begin with!
An MLM company’s products and services not being retail viable isn’t an excuse to abandon compliance and transform into a pyramid scheme. You either find a product and/or service retail customers are interested in, or move on.
As with all MLM pyramid schemes, once promoter recruitment dries up so too will commissions.
This will see Nvisionu promoters at the bottom of the pyramid eventually cancel their monthly order. In turn, promoters above these promoters will stop getting paid.
Unless new promoters are found to replace those that leave, eventually upline promoters will also cancel their monthly order.
Once enough Nvisionu promoters cancel their monthly order, an irreversible collapse is triggered.
Math guarantees that when a pyramid schemes collapses, the majority of participants lose money.
