TDM Poolex Academy is part of a series of Ponzi schemes BehindMLM uncovered in our Homes CNL review.

Marketing videos for the various Ponzi schemes were hosted on a Vimeo channel bearing the name “Cryptocurrency”.

Shortly after our Homes CNL review went live, the scammers running the Ponzi factory deleted every Ponzi marketing video from the channel.

When I came across the Ponzi factory, TDM Poolex Academy was the latest Ponzi scheme listed.

TDM Poolex Academy provides no information about who owns or runs the company on its website.

TDM stands for “The Digital Millennium”. The Digital Millennium Academy has a website up over at “tdm-academy.com”.

The Digital Millennium Academy uses the same website template at TDM Poolex Academy. “Tdm-academy.com” was registered in July 2020. Nefi Pirez is listed as the owner through an address in Uruguay.

There are two females presented as executives on The Digital Millennium’s website:

No information about these individuals is provided, and they don’t seem to exist outside of The Digital Millennium’s website.

The Digital Millennium appears to be a precursor to TDM Poolex Academy.

I also noted TDM Poolex Academy marketing pointing to the domain “poolex.tk”. No registration details for this free domain are available.

TDM Poolex Academy’s website defaults to Spanish. The vast majority of TDM Poolex Academy marketing videos are also in Spanish.

This suggests TDM Poolex Academy is being primarily marketing to a Spanish-speaking audience.

TDM Poolex Academy’s website domain was privately registered on December 13th, 2021. We noted the TDM Poolex Academy “Cryptocurrency” channel videos were uploaded in June 2022.

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.

TDM Poolex Academy’s Products

TDM Poolex Academy has no retailable products or services.

Affiliates are only able to market TDM Poolex Academy affiliate membership itself.

TDM Poolex Academy’s Compensation Plan

TDM Poolex Academy affiliates sign up and pay a fee in tether (USDT):

  • Ruby – 67 USDT
  • Emerald – 127 USDT
  • Platinum – 197 USDT
  • Gold Premium – 267 USDT
  • Full Poolex – 927 USDT

Once signed up, affiliates invest additional tether on the promise of a 4% daily ROI.

The MLM side of TDM Poolex Academy pays commissions on invested USDT and affiliate membership fees.

Referral Commissions (invested USDT)

TDM Poolex Academy pays investment referral 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.

TDM Poolex Academy caps payable unilevel team levels at four.

Investment referral commissions are paid as a percentage of USDT invested across these four levels as follows:

  • level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 1.5%
  • level 2 – 0.5%
  • level 3 – 0.3%
  • level 4 – 0.2%

Membership Fee Referral Commissions

TDM Poolex Academy pays membership fee referral commission using the same unilevel team investment referral commissions are paid with (see above).

Whereas investment referral commissions are capped at four levels however, membership fee referral commissions pay down five levels of recruitment.

How many levels a TDM Poolex Academy affiliate is paid membership fee referral commissions on, is determined by how much they themselves paid in fees:

  • Ruby tier affiliates earn membership fee referral commissions on levels 1 and 2
  • Emerald tier affiliates earn membership fee referral commissions on levels 1 to 3
  • Platinum and higher tier affiliates earn membership fee referral commissions on levels 1 to 5

Membership fee referral commission rates are determined by how much recruited affiliates pay in fees:

  • recruitment of a Ruby tier affiliate pays $15 on level 1 (you personally recruit the affiliate) and $5 on level 2
  • recruitment of an Emerald tier affiliate pays $30 on level 1, $5 on level 2 and $2 on level 3
  • recruitment of a Platinum tier affiliate pays $50 on level 1, $6 on level 2, $4 on level 3, $3 on level 3, $3 on level 4 and $2 on level 5
  • recruitment of a Gold Premium tier affiliate pays $60 on level 1, $7 on level 2, $5 on level 3, $4 on level 4 and $3 on level 5
  • recruitment of a Full Poolex tier affiliate pays $160 on level 1, $10 on level 2, $8 on level 3, $6 on level 4 and $4 on level 5

Joining TDM Poolex Academy

TDM Poolex Academy affiliate membership is priced across four tiers:

  • Ruby – 67 USDT
  • Emerald – 127 USDT
  • Platinum – 197 USDT
  • Gold Premium – 267 USDT
  • Full Poolex – 927 USDT

Fees are paid in tether and the more an affiliate spends, the higher thier income potential.

TDM Poolex Academy

TDM Poolex Academy attached a bunch of blockchain bullshit to each affiliate membership tier.

This can all be ignored. The only reason anyone signs up to TDM Poolex Academy is for the passive investment opportunity:

With no verifiable external source of revenue, not to mention its status as being the last known scam from a verified Ponzi factory, TDM Poolex Academy is of course a Ponzi scheme.

The MLM side of the business functions as a pyramid scheme, by way of nothing being marketed or sold to retail customers.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.

This will starve TDM Poolex Academy of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

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