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

MaoPay’s website domain (“maopay.ai”), was privately registered on April 4th, 2025.

On its website MaoPay provides a purported corporate address in Hong Kong.

The address corresponds to an office tower. It’s unclear whether this address has anything to do with MaoPay.

What’s On The Menu fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

What’s On The Menu’s website domain (“whatsonthemenu.club”), was registered on March 11th, 2024. The private registration was last updated on January 9th, 2025.

A compensation marketing video embedded on What’s On The Menu’s website is hosted on a YouTube channel named “Darryl Miller”. Beyond promoter, I wasn’t able to establish Miller’s role within What’s On The Menu.

Back in July a BehindMLM reader claimed What’s On The Menu was “set up with Kent Brown and Ron Young”.

I was able to confirm Kent Brown is promoting What’s On the Menu on social media:

A FaceBook page for “what’s on the menu/club” cites a “ron” email address hosted on What’s On The Menu’s website domain:

I was also able to confirm “Ron” as a post author on What’s On the Menu’s website:

“Ron” appears to have an admin promoter account under the name “Steakhouse Delivery”.

Ron Young (right), aka Ronnie Young and Herman Ronnie Young, launched the Race Cycler MLM cycler Ponzi in 2014. Kent Brown was the face of the scheme.

After “discussions with SEC staff”, Young shut Race Cycler down in February 2015. In 2017 Young settled Race Cycler securities fraud charges with the SEC for $342,510.

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

Hydromono’s website domain (“hyodromono.com”), was privately registered on June 25th, 2025.

On its website Hydromono provides an incomplete corporate address in Ust-Ilimsk, a town in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia.

In a marketing presentation linked to from Hydromono’s website, we find “Ivan Morozov” credited as Hydromono’s CEO:

Ivan Morozov doesn’t exist outside of Hydromono’s own marketing. Over on YouTube (note Hydromono doesn’t link its YouTube channel from its website), we find Morozov has an eastern-European accent.

This ties into Boris CEO schemes typically being run by eastern-European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and/or Belarus).

UpCapital fails to provide ownership or executive information on its websites.

UpCapital operates from two known website domains:

1. upcapital.tech – privately registered on April 9th, 2025
2. upcapital.ai – registered in August 2024, private registration last updated on April 2nd, 2025

Further research reveals offsite UpCapital marketing material citing “Oscar Buhler” as UpCapital’s CEO:

Buhler doesn’t exist outside of UpCapital’s own marketing, making him a primary Boris CEO candidate.

Starting around three months ago, marketing videos featuring Jaime Morales were uploaded to the YouTube channel “Juan Smart”:

On June 20th a video was uploaded featuring UpCapital’s Oscar Buhler.

Buhler, or the actor playing Buhler, speaks in Spanish. This ties into SimilarWeb tracking 100% of UpCapital’s website traffic from Chile as of August 2025.

While Boris CEO schemes are typically run by eastern European scammers, it’s likely whoever is running UpCapital has ties to Chile and/or other Spanish speaking countries across Central and South America.

HW Mall fails to provide ownership or executive information on any of its websites.

HW Mall operates from four known website domains:

• smartminingusdt.mom – privately registered on July 16th, 2025
• hw-mall.com – privately registered on July 17th, 2025
• hw-mall.vip – privately registered on July 17th, 2025
• hwusdt.com – privately registered on July 17th, 2025

HW Mall has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued a HW Mall pyramid fraud warning on September 9th, 2025.

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

OmniWinAI’s website domain (“omniwinai.com”), was privately registered on May 24th, 2025.

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

Omnisphere’s website domain (“omnisphere.org”), was privately registered on December 3rd, 2024.

Over on FaceBook we find Omnisphere’s official group is managed from the Philippines:

This strongly suggests whoever is running Omnisphere has ties to the Philippines.

E-Estate fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

E-Estate’s website domain (“e-estate.co”), was privately registered on September 9th, 2024.

While E-Estate does provide a list of corporate executives, none of them are real people:

Instead E-Estate’s co-founders, Brandon Stephenson and Mike Hamilton, appear to be robo-dubbed actors or AI-generated avatars.

For Brandon Stephenson, if we compare a September 6th E-Estate marketing video with one from April 9th, we find completely different AI-generated voices used.

I suspect this video evidence will disappear shortly after this review is published. I’ll leave an inline update here when that happens.

We can also observe the obvious use of AI in E-Estate marketing videos featuring serial promoters of MLM Ponzi schemes:

It’s also somewhat telling that E-Estate’s co-founders only feature in solo marketing videos. Surely by now they’d have made an appearance on these promoter videos?

To aid with deceiving consumers, E-Estate has created fictional digital footprints for its co-founders.

Brandon Stephenson only began posting on his FaceBook account on January 28th, 2024 – a few months after E-Estate’s website domain was created.

E-Estate represents “Brandon Stephenson” is founder of the Association of Real Digital Realtors.

The Association of Real Digital Realtors is set up on the website domain (“association-rdr.com”). The domain was first registered in 2020 but it’s private registration was only recently updated on March 31st, 2025.

Through the Wayback Machine we can see the Association of Real Digital Realtors’ domain was dormant until the current website was uploaded in or around February 2025.

The Association of Digital Realtor’s website PDFs (“terms and conditions” etc.), were created in December 2024.

This suggests the domain was acquired by the scammers running E-Estate sometime after E-Estate’s own website domain was registered a few months prior.

Despite only existing as a website for a few months, on its website the Association of Real Digital Realtor’s falsely represents it was created in 2020.

“Mike Hamilton” appears to be a US resident residing in Florida. Marketing videos shot by Hamilton on a cell phone are filmed with a horizontal reverse filter at the mouth of the Miami river:

Note the Aston Martin Residences are still under construction in the Google Maps section of the image above (circa 2020).

As an additional aside, you can clearly see the Mike Hamilton actor’s eyes reading a script in each video he features in.

Like Stephenson, E-Estate created/purchased a FaceBook profile for Mike Hamilton in December 2024.

We can see the two posts before this date, have been retrospectively added (probably in December 2024), as denoted by the clock symbol on both posts:

E-Estate represents Hamilton is owner of “Eli Property Company, Inc.”. A website has been set up for Eli Property Company on the domain “eliproperty.com”.

The domain was first registered in 1998 but its private registration was last updated on September 6th, 2024. This is three days prior to E-Estate’s own domain being registered.

Again through the Wayback Machine, we can see the Eli Property domain was for sale until purchase in late 2024.

In February 2025 The WayBack Machine captured what appears to be a hosting error:

As above, E-Estate’s scammers appear to have mistakenly uploaded the Association of Real Digital Realtor website content to the Eli Property domain.

The current Eli Property website domain went live sometime between late February and April 4th, 2025.

The Eli Property website PDFs were created on the same date as the Association of Digital Realtor website PDFs, suggesting it was a batch job.

Despite again only existing for a few months as a website, the E-State scammers falsely represent Eli Property “started” in 1970. Eli Property’s first website was purportedly “launched” in 1993. This is patently false.

While the actor playing “Mike Hamilton” appears to be a Florida resident, Boris CEO schemes are typically run by eastern European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and/or Belarus).

This could tie in to the use of an AI robodub to mask the accent of the Brandon Stephenson actor. It would also explain why Stephenson and Hamilton don’t make a joint appearance in the same room in any of E-Estate’s marketing videos.

One final red flag with E-Estate is the representation it is based out of Panama.

While it’s unlikely E-Estate has any actual ties to Panama, it should still be noted the country is a scam-friendly jurisdiction with lax regulation.

We’ll go over E-Estate’s regulatory compliance failings in the conclusion of this review.
