Theon Global Review: Fulvic acid and turmeric drops (BOO?)
Theon Global operates in the nutritional supplement MLM niche.
Heading up Theon Global is owner Lawrence Puckett.
Puckett’s LinkedIn cites him as an owner and managing member of Theon Global since October 2020. Curiously, Theon Global LLC wasn’t set up in Texas until March 7th, 2022.
Puckett’s LinkedIn details an automotive history from 1996 to 2017.
In June 2019 Puckett (right) signed on a Vice President of sales for Navan Global.
Puckett’s LinkedIn cites him leaving Navan Global in May 2020. Navan Global’s owner, Haskell “Trey” Knight, was indicted for wire fraud a year later in May 2021.
The conduct Knight was indicted for predates Puckett’s involvement in Navan Global.
After leaving Navan Global, Puckett set up Theon Global in October 2020.
I believe Theon Global being set up as an LLC in Texas only a few months ago coincides with its launch as an MLM company.
This is based on Theon Global’s website domain being dormant until around the time Theon Global LLC was registered.
I’m unclear on what Theon Global was prior to relaunching itself as an MLM company.
Read on for a full review of Theon Global’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

DataBank Review: Tom McMurrain’s SuperWallet CMDX reboot
2019 wasn’t a good year for Tom McMurrain.
In March 2019 CMDX was on the verge of collapse, prompting McMurrain to beg for $100,000.
Then in August CMDX was dumped from the only public exchange McMurrain was able to get it listed on.
After that CMDX went into stagnation and effectively collapsed.
On June 1st 2022, McMurrain acquired the domain “databank.me”.
On August 2nd CMDX’s old website domain was redirected to DataBank, and McMurrain rebooted his failed crypto grift.
Read on for a full review of DataBank’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
Enigma Network collapses, rebooted as BFX Standard
Enigma Network launched in late 2021. BehindMLM published its Enigma Network review on January 18th, 2022.
In reviewing Enigma Network, we found an MLM opportunity providing access to an automated trading bot.
Although Dave Wiltz was credited as Enigma Network’s founder and President, J. Joshua Beistle and Doug Wellens were behind the company.
I can’t tell you exactly when Enigma Network collapsed but its official FaceBook page was abandoned in May 2022.
SimilarWeb also tracks negligible traffic to Enigma Network’s website over the past three months.
Enigma Network’s collapse has prompted the launch of BFX Standard, essentially the same scheme with a different name. [Continue reading…]
