The Last Network is a marketing spinoff of Vow.

Both Vow and The Last Network are founded and run by Bishara “Bish” Smeir.

As far as I can tell Smeir doesn’t have an MLM history. Prior to Vow, Smeir had been promoting a cashback scheme for years:

I was able to backdate Smeir’s CashbackApp scheme to at least 2015.

Ultimately CashbackApp didn’t go anywhere and failed as a business.

In early 2019 Smeir reinvented himself as a crypto bro and launched Vow.

Vow is essentially a reboot of CashbackApp but with cryptocurrency.

Both CashbackApp and Vow can be white labelled through Enigmatic Smile, a UK shell company set up by Smeir.

Not surprisingly, Vow also flopped and was all but dead until June 2022.

This is around the time Smeir launched The Last Network.

As you can see in the SimilarWeb traffic chart above, traffic to Vow’s website primarily originates from Germany (39%), the US (13%) and Austria (11%).

Promotion of The Last Network in German-speaking countries is headed up by Joerg D. Wittke (aka Jörg Wittke), believed to be an Austrian national.

Wittke’s MLM claim to fame is being a “leader” in BitClub Network.

BitClub Network was a $722 million dollar Ponzi scheme. The DOJ arrested BitClub Network’s co-founders in December 2019.

Wittke cites himself as a

Bitclub leader & founder of the Centurion Club, one of the most successful teams within the Bitclub.

Wittke was promoting BitClub Network up until June 2019.

How much money Wittke stole through the Ponzi scheme is unclear.

After BitClub Network, circa September 2019, Wittke began promoting the Jubilee Ace Ponzi scheme. Jubilee Ace collapsed in early 2021.

After Jubilee Ace Wittke promoted the HyperFund Ponzi to Germans.

HyperFund collapsed in late 2021. The three reboot Ponzis that followed have been a mess.

Vow is incorporated as a shell company in Jersey, a scam-friendly island jurisdiction off the coast of France.

Bish Smeir is believed to be based out of Glasgow, Scotland, from where Vow and The Last Network are actually operated from.

Joerg Wittke is based out of Dubai, the MLM crime capital of the world.

DGPBot fails to provide company ownership or executive information on its website.

DGPBot’s website domain (“dgpbot.com”), was first registered in 2020. The domain registration was last updated on January 26th, 2022.

Toto Dinar Wijaksono of PT. Hayuning Indo Tech is listed as the owner, through an address in Megelang, Indonesia.

From what I’ve been able to put together, Wijaksono operates out of Indonesia and has put together multiple trading bot investment schemes.

DGPBot launched in mid 2021, alongside DigiBot last year.

An October 2021 press-release names Zainul Wasti as the scheme’s “top leader”:

Toto Wijaksono is cited as owner of the company;

Digibos presents the Digibos Trading Platform called DGPBOT Autopilot, a robotic application for crypto trading that has been tested for excellence and success.

The event was also attended by the owner of Digibos, Toto Dinar Wijaksono who was specially asked to be the main speaker.

Digibos operated from “digibos.vip”, offering investors passive returns through its “DGPBot” trading bot.

Launched on or around June 2021, Digibos lasted less than six months. After it collapsed, Digibos was rebooted as DGPBot in early 2022.

Between Digibos and DGPBot there might have been a short-lived Dgibos reboot (no “i”), operating from “dgibot.co” (circa Oct/Nov 2021).

Another company name worth noting is DGPaytech;

DIGIBOS is an amazing AUTOPILOT TRADING ROBOT.. Created By DGPaytech.com Under license of Hyuning Tech of Indonesia.

The above is from a Digibos YouTube promo video dated August 5th, 2021. DGPaytech’s website domain has since been disabled.

Hayuning Indo Tech operates from “hayuningindotech.com”. It’s a faceless blockchain bro company that represents it’s behind DGPBot and other crypto scams:

If Toto Wijaksono is behind DGPBot, then it follows he owns Hayuning Indo Tech too.

Finally we have “dgptrading.com”, a poorly set up DGPBot support website set up in late 2021.

Due to language barriers, tracking down Toto Dinar Wijaksono presented a challenge.

Last September, Digibos held a potato-quality livestream featuring “Digibos leaders”:

The guy above had the Zoom account “TDW”, which I believe corresponds to Toto Dinar Wijaksono.

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…]

Infinity Processing System operates in the marketing MLM niche.

Adriana Villegas is presented as owner of the company;

Imagine having the ability to generate 100% commissions from anywhere in the world as long as you have wifi connection.

If this interests you, keep reading.. I’ve been working full time from home for the past 5 years earning multiple 6 figures online.

Now i’m ready to show YOU exactly how I did it! My goal is to help 1,0000 families become financially free this year!

Villegas appears to have made a name for herself promotion various scams on social media:

Some examples of pyramid schemes Villegas promoted include Paycation, National Wealth Center, Pro Travel Plus, 25 Dollar 1Up, No Limits Team, Newbies on Fire, Easy 1 Up,

Villegas aims her marketing at both English and Spanish recruits.

Villegas claims that, before finding online scams to promote circa ~2014, she was a “college dropout trading time for money”.

Circa mid 2021 Villegas appears to have burnt out promoting other people’s scams, which leads us to Infinity Processing System.

Nvisionu fails to provide ownership and executive information on its website.

Nvisionu’s website domain (“nvisionu.com”), was first registered in 2003. The private registration was last updated on July 25th, which I believe is on or around when ownership changed hands.

This Nvisionu review is a reader request. I was tipped off that the company was owned and operated by former IM Mastery Academy earners, David Imonitie and Ivan Tapia.

I was able to confirm this via a lawsuit filed by IM Mastery Academy against defendants Imonitie, Tapia, Spela Sluga, Devon Roeser and Nvision U INC. on June 24th.

The (defendants) either resigned or terminated their agreements with IML, and then conspired to and began to recruit and solicit other IBOs and contractors, and to directly compete with IML in the marketplace.

The (defendants) breached their contracts with IML by, among other things, leaving IML and immediately forming and/or joining a competing company, Nvisionu.

We’ll get more into IM Mastery Academy’s lawsuit in the conclusion of this review.

David Imonitie is Nvisionu’s CEO.

Imonitie joined IM Mastery Academy back in 2016, when it operated as iMarketsLive.

Owner Chris Terry changed the company’s name to IM Master Academy in 2019. This happened after the CFTC fined iMarketsLive for commodities fraud in 2018.

Ivan Tapia joined IM Mastery Academy in 2015. Tapia was even higher in IM Mastery Academy, reaching the rank of Chairman Elite.

This is the same rank as marketing posterboy Alex Morton, believed to be IM Mastery Academy’s top earner.

BehindMLM maintains IM Mastery Academy is a pyramid scheme openly committing securities fraud.

What would prompt two top earners in an established, albeit believed to be operating illegally, MLM company jump ship?

Tocara was founded in 2007 and operates in the jewelry MLM niche.

The company is based out of Canada but does also operate in the US, through a PO Box corporate address in Vermont.

There is a UK prelaunch video on Tocara’s official YouTube channel, dated July 16th, 2022:

Tocara’s UK prelaunch began August 7th. Not sure when the full launch is but that makes three countries Tocara operates in.

Heading up Tocara is founder Randall Markus (right).

Markus is referenced in the “about” section of Tocara’s website but, beyond co-designing Tocara’s jewelry, no information about him is provided.

Tocara is a member of the Canadian DSA, and there we learn a bit more about Markus’ background;

(Markus) has had a long career in the jewelry trade, which includes the manufacturing, marketing and design side of the business.

He founded Bijou Chateau Jewelry a wholesale, manufacturing business in 1979, supplying many of North America’s finest jewelry stores, department stores, television shopping channels, internet retailers and direct sales businesses.

In 2008 he founded Tocara after a long relationship with Avon Products Inc. where he developed his passion for the direct sales industry.

I’ve cited Tocara launching 2007, as per Markus’ LinkedIn profile. Markus cites himself as President of Bijoux Chateau since 1978.

Curiously Avon isn’t referenced on Markus’ LinkedIn profile. For more insight on that relationship, we turn to a 2019 article on Direct Selling News;

By the mid- to late 1980s, Markus had designed and manufactured proprietary pieces that caught the interest of a large direct seller: Avon.

“I built a sizable business with Avon Canada,” Markus says, “I designed jewelry, and I manufactured it for them.”

As far as I’m aware, Tocara is Markus’ first MLM venture as an executive.

Earlier this year a BehindMLM reader left a comment on our second inCruises review, claiming

with the recent so called upgrade to 2.0 what once was a great thing is now just another travel company with nothing special to offer.

Another reader recently reached out to me via email to request an updated review.

BehindMLM’s second inCruises review was published back in 2017, so today we’re revisiting inCruises for an update. [Continue reading…]
