The Blockchain Era, aka “Jose Gordo’s latest scam”, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

The Blockchain Era’s website domain (“tbe.io”), was first registered in 2016. The private registration was last updated on August 19th.

Through the WayBack Machine we can ascertain that The Blockchain Era’s current website went live in late July 2023. It’s likely The Blockchain Era website domain was purchased either in June or July 2023 too.

Further research reveals The Blockchain Era marketing featuring LyoTrade and LyoWallet:

LyoTrade and LyoWallet are part of the thrice collapsed WeWe Global Ponzi scheme.

WeWe Global launched in 2021. The first iteration was as simple MLM crypto Ponzi built around WEWEX tokens.

When the WEWEX Ponzi collapsed, WeWeGlobal introduced LyoFI and LyoPay (presumably LyoTrade came along at some point too).

This reboot also saw Luiz Goes come out of the shadows, as CEO of the Lyo* companies.

The second iteration of WeWe Global was the same Ponzi scheme, this time built around LYO tokens. When that collapsed towards the end of 2022, a third reboot was launched through LFI token.

Following a securities fraud from New Zealand in February 2023, WeWe Global’s third Ponzi reboot collapsed in August 2023.

If you note The Blockchain Era timeline, Goes had WeWe Global’s fourth reboot ready to go as the third reboot was collapsing.

After three reboots “WeWe Global” as a company name was so toxic it was dropped in favor of The Blockchain Era.

Goes and The Blockchain Era are based out of Dubai, 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.

Ant Ranch fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Ant Ranch’s website domain (“antranch.vip”), was privately registered on May 9th, 2023.

If we look at the source-code of Ant Ranch’s website, we find Chinese:

This strongly suggests whoever is running Ant Ranch has ties to China.

Further supporting this is Ant Ranch’s website domain being registered through Alibaba’s Singapore division.

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…]

CryptoFX-Pro fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

CryptoFX-Pro’s website domain (“cryptofx-pro.com”), was first registered in 2021. The private registration was last updated on August 30th, 2023.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, CryptoFX-Pro provides a random shell company registration number on its website.

No further information is provided.

BehindMLM first reported on bizarre marketing claims out of the TranzactCard camp back in July.

We noted TranzactCard affiliates were running around claiming the MLM opportunity was “backed by Obama, Trump (and) LeBron James”.

What we couldn’t establish was the source of these bizarre claims.

Now, in footage uploaded to YouTube, TranzardCard owner Richard Smith has personally vouched for the claims. [Continue reading…]

9XProfits fails to verifiable provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Several executives are cited on 9XProfits’ website…

…none of whom exist outside of 9XProfits itself.

Ramming home that point is 9XProfits’ official YouTube channel having twenty videos, none of which feature any of its executives.

Instead 9XProfits’ marketing videos feature non-narrated stock footage combined with CGI.

9XProfits’ website domain (“9xprofits.com”), was privately registered on May 14th, 2023.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, 9XProfits provides shell company certificates for the UK, the US and New Zealand.

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.

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…]
