Vellius fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Vellius’ website domain (“vellius.com”), was privately registered on November 6th, 2021.

Through the WayBack Machine we can see Vellius’ domain was for sale until late 2025. Vellius’ current website went live in or around October 2025.

Despite only existing for a few months, in its marketing material Vellius’ falsely represents it was founded in 2024.

On Vellius’ official YouTube channel we find marketing videos featuring an AI-generated avatar. This is typical of scammers concealing their identity.

Vellius’ official YouTube channel is linked from their website. Turns out Vellius has a second YouTube channel though, on which we find a December 5th marketing video featuring CEO Ricardo Ramirez Ferreira:

Ferreira doesn’t exist outside of Vellius’ own marketing. The video itself is your typical Boris CEO rented office space production.

While not always, Boris CEO MLM schemes are typically run by eastern European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and/or Belarus).

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Vellius provides company registration certificates for Canada and Panama.

Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence these certificates are meaningless.

Vellius provides a corporate address in Canada in the footer of its website. The address belongs to Alliance Virtual Offices, suggesting Vellius has no actual physical presence in Canada.

This is further supported by a December 25th video uploaded to Vellius’ Telegram channel. The video depicts the actor playing Ricardo Ferreira in 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:

  1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
  2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

  8. Status 8 – generate $25,000,000 in downline investment

Note that Vellius cheats promoters out of counted downline investment:

  • 100% is counted on level 1 (personally recruited promoters)
  • 80% is counted on level 2
  • 70% is counted on level 3
  • 60% is counted on level 4

No downline volume is counted deeper than level 30.

“Levels” refer to unilevel team levels. For an explanation on the unilevel team refer to “Referral Commissions” below.

Referral Commissions

Vellius pays referral commissions on invested cryptocurrency 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.

Vellius caps payable unilevel team levels at thirty. Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of cryptocurrency invested across these levels based on rank:

  • Status 1 promoters earn 6% on level 1 (personally recruited promoters), 3% on level 2, 2% on level 3, 1% on levels 4 and 5 and 0.1% on levels 6 to 30

Vellius Conclusion

Vellius represents it generates external revenue through AI crypto trading bots.

We combine the expertise of professional traders with the capabilities of advanced technologies to build sustainable investment strategies for our clients.

Our team integrates manual trading, based on in-depth market analysis, with automated trading powered by proprietary AI bots.

No evidence of Vellius generating external revenue of any kind is provided.

On the regulatory front, Vellius’ passive returns investment opportunity constitutes a securities offering. Vellius fails to provide evidence it has registered with regulators in any jurisdiction.

This means that, at a minimum, Vellius is committing securities fraud. Securities fraud is illegal in every country with a regulated financial market.

Despite operating illegally in every jurisdiction it solicits investment in, Vellius’ marketing material laughably states;

We build our business on a solid foundation of legal transparency and strict compliance with international standards. Every step of the company is confirmed by official legal status and open documentation.

As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering Vellius is new investment.

Using new investment to pay ROI withdrawals would make Vellius a Ponzi scheme. Additionally, with nothing marketed or sold to retail customers, the MLM side of Vellius is a pyramid scheme.

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

This will starve Vellius of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

Math guarantees that when a Ponzi scheme collapses, the majority of participants lose money.
