JokerX Review: Michael Sander misses NFT grift train
JokerX fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
In fact, as I write this, all you can do on JokerX’s website is sign up or log in as an affiliate. The rest of the site is disabled.
Over on FaceBook we find Michael Sander referring to JokerX as his “own company”.
Back in the day Sander (aka Michi Sander), ran the pro-scam publication Obtainer Online.
BehindMLM first came across Sander (right) after Obtainer Online ran a puff-piece on ViziNova scammer Renato Rodriguez.
Prior to Vizinova’s launch in 2014, BehindMLM had been closely following Rodriguez’s participation in WCM777.
Both Vizinova and WCM777 were MLM Ponzi schemes.
ViziNova saw Sander migrate from just supporting scams in Obtainer Online, to assisting Rodriguez launch Vizinova.
Sander (right) signed on as Vizinova’s “Chief Consultant”.
ViziNova has engaged OBTAINER’s founder Michael Sander, who as chief consultant has developed the company structure and the set-ups.
In April 2014 Sander described Vizinova as
a business concept that is coherent, transparent and profitable.
ViziNova isn’t a Ponzi scheme or a pyramid system because from the very outset Renato Rodriguez and Gutemberg dos Santos are demonstrating transparency.
As Vizinova began to collapse in early 2015, Sander distanced himself from the Ponzi scheme.
In March 2017 the SEC revealed it had charged Renato Rodriguez and Gutemberg Dos Santos with fraud, alleging Vizinova to be a $5 million dollar Ponzi scheme.
Rodriguez and Gutemberg settled the SEC’s charges.
They would continue to defraud consumers through AirBit Club, leading to their respective arrests and indictments in 2020.
Earlier this year Rodriguez was sentenced to twelve years in prison. Dos Santos received just over three years.
Another Ponzi scheme Sander supported through Obtainer Online was Bonofa.
Bonofa’s owners were arrested in Germany in May 2016. A month later what was left of the Ponzi scheme was fed into OneCoin.
BehindMLM last came across Sander through Baccarat Staking in 2021.
Baccarat Staking was a gambling themed Ponzi scheme that collapsed in March 2022. A Baccarat Academy reboot was announced but doesn’t appear to have gone anywhere.
After his gambling Ponzi schemes Sander resurrected Big Boy Cash, an alias he created in or around 2017.
In May 2022, a few months after Baccarat Staking collapsed, Sander paid Snoop Dogg an appearance fee and put out a music video.
I know art is subjective but I think we can all agree “Billionaire Cash” is truly awful.
Sander resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, from which is various schemes are operated from.
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. [Continue reading…]
