BehindMLM reviewed Jewel Sanitary Napkins in 2020.

The company was founded in Georgia by CEO Demond Crump, following Nspire Network collapsing in late 2018.

A visit to Ryse’s website today reveals Reign branding:

Things are a little confusing as, per the screenshot above, the footer of the website still states “Copyright © Jewel Sanitary Napkins LLC”.

As far as I can tell, Reign is just Jewel Sanitary Napkins with a different name.

At the request of a reader, today BehindMLM revisits Jewel Sanitary Napkins as Reign for an updated review. [Continue reading…]

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

Botgran’s website domain (“botgran.com”), was registered in August 2024. The private registration was last updated on July 11th, 2025.

Of note is Botgran’s website defaulting to Portuguese:

This ties in with Sanderley Rodrigues De Vasconcelos, better known as Sann Rodrigues, appearing in official Botgran marketing videos:

Rodrigues appears to be controlling Botgran’s website, with posts made on his personal account being copied over.

Rodrigues, full name Sanderley Rodrigues De Vasconcelos, is best known as the top promoter of TelexFree.

TelexFree was a $3.6 billion Ponzi scheme. Rodrigues himself pocketed over $3 million.

In 2017 Rodrigues settled TelexFree fraud charges with the SEC for $1.7 million.

The disgraced scammer is believed to have left the US to settle in Portugal.

Brazilian authorities have an open investigation into Rodrigues. In Feb 2020 it emerged Rodrigues managed to flee Brazil for the US with the aid of Federal Police.

At the time criminal proceedings against Rodrigues barred him from leaving the country.

As of July 2020, Brazilian authorities had made two arrests; one of the police officers involved and an attorney. Over $340,000 in cryptocurrency had also been seized.

After TelexFree, Rodrigues went on to promote several MLM Ponzi schemes; iFreeX, BitinForex (Top10Cap), Clube365 and Binaxx.

Binaxx collapsed in 2022. Today Rodrigues can be found promoting various MLM Ponzi schemes, including Botgran, on his “LUCROS AUTOMÁTICOS” YouTube channel:

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…]

Skywinex fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

While Skywinex does provide a “team” of executives, none of them exist outside of Skywinex’s website:

Profile photos used to represent Skywinex’s executives appear to be AI-generated.

Skywinex’s website domain (“skywinex.com”), was privately registered on July 18th, 2025.

Of note is Skywinex’s official FaceBook page being run from Ukraine:

1. sfcviberating.vip – privately registered on September 16th, 2025
2. sfcviberating.com – privately registered on July 23rd, 2025

If we look at the source-code of SFC Vibe Rating’s .VIP domain, we find Chinese:

This suggests whoever is running SFC Vibe Rating has ties to China.

SFC Vibe Rating has been heavily targeting Fiji over the past few months.

This caught the attention of the Consumer Council of Fiji, who issued an SFC Vibe Rating fraud warning on March 10th.

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

In fact at time of publication, Arbcore’s website is nothing more than a promoter registration/sign up form:

Arbcore’s website domain (“arbcore.app”), was privately registered on January 13th, 2026.

Of note is Arbcore’s official Telegram channel defaulting to Russian:

Over on YouTube we find Vladislav Stefanov citing  Arbcore’s CEO as “Evgeny Levin”:

Levin appears to be some random Russian/Ukrainian shooting cellphone videos in an apartment.

Vladislav Stefanov is a Bulgarian national who, when it isn’t getting blown up, hides out in Dubai. Stefanov represents he is in Thailand at time of publication.

Stefanov cites himself as an Arbcore “Global Ambassador”:

Stefanov promotes Arbcore as part of Unity, a fraudulent investment scheme feeder he runs with Aderly Dupont.

Aderly Dupont last popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as President of the Athena Group Ponzi scheme.

Launched in mid 2025, Athena Group’s website has since been disabled.

As of February 2026, SimilarWeb was tracking ~38,200 monthly Arbcore website visits.

Over the same period top sources of Arbcore website traffic were Ukraine (42%), Belgium (30%) and Germany (19%).
