Holton Buggs’ Meta Bounty Hunters Ponzi scheme has collapsed.

Behindmlm reader Daz predicted Meta Bounty Hunters would soon experience withdrawal problems last October.

This was based on Meta Bounty Hunters commingling investor funds with The Traders Domain, a Ponzis scheme that collapsed towards the end of 2022. [Continue reading…]

The Traders Domain isn’t an MLM company. It is however linked to several MLM companies, all of which have since collapsed.

In this article we go down the The Traders Domain rabbit hole and link everything together. [Continue reading…]

BehindMLM reviewed Aluva the same month it launched in June 2021.

In reviewing Aluva, I was kind of neutral on the MLM opportunity.

There’s nothing overtly offensive about Aluva’s MLM opportunity.

Unfortunately there’s also nothing to really hook you in.

Founder Gavin Dickson’s story about his father is a nice touch but the underlying message is basically “look after yourself before it’s too late”.

And you don’t necessarily need an energy drink, multivitamin drink or weight loss supplement to achieve that.

Almost two years into Aluva’s launch, SimilarWeb tracks negligible traffic to its website.

This isn’t definitive, but it’s a good indication Aluva isn’t doing well.

Since launch, Aluva has marketed a range of nutritional supplements.

Then, on or around January 10th, the company announced it was pivoting to AUX.

Participate in the biggest financial shift of the century and get your time back, more freedom, and finances on track using AUX.

This incredible platform launches 1/15!

AUX stands for Aluva University & Exchange; and you can probably guess where this is going… [Continue reading…]

Palm Alliance Management fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Palm Alliance Management’s website domain (“palmalliance.com”), was first registered in April 2016. The private registration was last updated on April 19th, 2022, with the current owners taking possession on April 10th.

From the Wayback Machine we can see Palm Alliance Management’s website went live around May 2022.

Despite existing for less than a year, Palm Alliance Management falsely claims on its website it was “founded in 2010”.

As of December 2022, SimilarWeb currently ranks top sources of traffic to Palm Alliance Management’s website as the US (72%), Australia (9%) and Germany (5%).

Indonesia clocked in at 4%, representing an 87% drop in traffic month on month.

The US providing the majority of traffic is suggestive but it’s hard not to ignore the collapse in Indonesia, which came first.

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…]

Aquila Holdco Limited fails to provide ownership or executive information on their website.

Aquila Holdco Limited’s website domain (“aquilaholdcolimited.com”), was registered with bogus details on October 29th, 2022.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Aquila Holdco Limited provides incorporation details for Aquila Holdco Limited in New Zealand.

The address used to incorporate Aquila Holdco Limited has nothing to with the company.

Furthermore for the purpose of MLM due-diligence, basic incorporation in any jurisdiction is meaningless.

It’s as simple as submit bogus details, pay a fee and get a certificate – which Aquila Holdco Limited of course provides on their website.

In the source-code of Aquila Holdco Limited’s website we find an Instagram link for Bofbot Limited:

Bofbot Limited is a collapsed Ponzi scheme that pitched up to 4% a day. As opposed to New Zealand, Bofbot Limited pretended it was based out of the UK.

From Aquila Holdco Limited’s website source-code, we also find the simplified Chinese character “漏”:

This strongly suggests Chinese scammers are behind Bofbot Limited and Aquila Holdco Limited.

While I can’t say for sure, the typical Chinese Ponzi playbook is to operate from a county neighbouring China or from south-east Asia.

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…]

The NovaTech FX Ponzi scheme has collapsed.
