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

Ventrobi presents photos of executives on its website. They are cropped photos edited onto a generic lounge background.

Supposedly Ventrobi is headed up by founder and CEO “Rafael Akbarov”:

Akbarov however doesn’t exist outside of Ventrobi’s marketing. This makes him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

Supporting this is the actor playing Akbarov claiming he doesn’t speak English on official Ventrobi webinars.

Ventrobi also provides investors with a classic rented office marketing video.

Actual people we can tie to Ventrobi are Tim Waider and Josh Berman.

Tim Waider hosts official Ventrobi marketing webinars:

Waider made a name for himself in One World Network, before joining Total Life Changes in 2020.

After that Waider got into MLM crypto Ponzi promotion. Collapsed scams Waider has promoted include Tradixis, Capitalium, EtherConnect, Nimbus Platform, FastBNB, BitMonsters and InvesableAI.

After Tradixis in March 2024, Waider went on to launch TradeTribe in April 2024.

TradeTribe’s website is still online but SimilarWeb tracked just ~3100 monthly website visits as of November 2024. In other words, TradeTribe collapsed before Ventrobi was launched.

Josh Berman hosts official Ventrobi marketing presentation videos:

Like Waider, Berman is also a serial promoter of fraudulent investment schemes.

The Texas State Securities Board named Berman as BitSports securities fraud cease and desist Respondent in November 2023.

The C&D order claimed Berman and Sean Kelly were promoting BitSports and GSPartners, two collapsed fraudulent investment schemes, through the Berman Investment Group.

Incomation, Daisy AI, iX Global, NovaTech FX and Automated Capital are all fraudulent MLM investment schemes.

I don’t have anything definitive on who exactly is running Ventrobi but there are these facts to consider;

1. Boris CEO Ponzi schemes are typically run by Russian and/or Ukrainian scammers
2. Tim Waider is from and lives in Ukraine
3. Tim Waider has already been at the center of two collapsed MLM crypto Ponzi schemes in 2024

But yeah, some random guy from Azerbaijan who nobody has ever heard of is probably running Ventrobi.

One final note is Ventrobi launching on the domain “ventrobi.com”.

Without explanation, Ventrobi abandoned its original domain for “ventrobi.io” on December 30th.

As above, Ventrobi’s website unexpectedly went down and was covered up with “maintenance”.

This then resulted in the new website domain being registered and deployed a few hours later.

Something went down beyond Ventrobi’s control and that should raise eyebrows.

Robex AI launched in 2023 as a fraudulent investment scheme that represented it was based out of the UK. Marketing suggested Robex AI also had ties to Dubai, the MLM crime capital of the world.

Robex AI originally solicited $25 to $5000 investments on the promise of a 500% ROI.

With no verifiable source of revenue, Robex AI appeared to be running a typical trading ruse Ponzi.

This was confirmed in October 2024 when Robex AI disabled withdrawals and collapsed.

On or around November 12th, a Robex AI reboot was announced.

Today we’re revisiting Robex AI to take a look at the reboot and see where the Ponzi scheme is a month and a half post-collapse. [Continue reading…]

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

MemeGames’ website domain (“memegames.ai”), was privately registered on an unknown date.

Through the WayBack Machine however, we can see MemeGames’ published a beta website in or around June 2024.

On December 17th, 2024, serial scam promoter Sal Khan cited Eric J. Dalius as MemeGames’ founder and CEO:

Eric J. Dalius, aka EJ Dalius, is a convicted felon. Dalius pled guilty to criminal charges related to “multi-level marketing fraud” in 2001.

More recently Dalius was sued by the SEC for securities fraud. The SEC’s fraud allegations against Dalius pertained to his collapsed Saivian Ponzi scheme.

Saivian solicited investment from consumers under the guise of generating revenue via selling of receipt data.

The SEC filed suit against Dalius in 2018, alleging Saivian was a $165 million Ponzi and pyramid scheme.

Between October 26, 2015 and September 1, 2017, Saivian raised millions of dollars from Cashback Members in the United States and abroad.

Most of this was misappropriated by Dalius to support a lavish lifestyle for himself and his family.

Contrary to their claims, Saivian did not generate any revenue from the sale of POS receipts.

Instead, Saivian’s revenue was generated almost exclusively from membership sales to Cashback Members themselves.

Like a classic Ponzi scheme, Saivian satisfied promised returns to some investors — in the form of 20% cashback on shopping purchases — through the investments of other investors rather than any underlying, legitimate, commercial activity.

Dalius settled the SEC’s Saivian fraud charges for $24 million in February 2023.

Amid the SEC’s ongoing litigation, Dalius launched MuzicSwipe in 2021.

MuzicSwipe is a music and content discovery platform designed to maximize new music discovery and optimize the artist to fan relationship.

MuzicSwipe appears to have been abandoned in late 2023. MuzicSwipe’s website has since been disabled.

Now, Dalius has reemerged with MemeGames.

Despite being promoted, as far as I know DEFI Money Club doesn’t yet have a website. Or if it does, it’s not being shared with the public.

Why the secrecy?

On November 16th, 2024, serial scam promoter Sal Khan published a YouTube video citing Daniel Pacheco as DEFI Money Club’s CEO.

In addition to CEO, Khan also cites Pacheco as the “creator of DEFI Money Club”.

Daniel Pacheco, aka Danny Pacheco, made a name for himself circa 2013 as a promoter of the Lucrazon Global Ponzi scheme.

Pacheco would go on to launch his own scam, iPro Network, in 2017.

iPro Network was attached to the ProCurrency altcoin (PROC). iPro Network offloaded pre-generated PROC onto its affiliates, on the usual promises of riches.

On the MLM side of things, iPro Network paid commissions on recruitment of new affiliate investors.

By mid 2018 iPro Network itself had collapsed. In a desperate bid to keep the company going the association was PROC was abandoned (typical MLM altcoin exit-scam).

It was around this time that iThrive Network was announced. iThrive Network dropped iPro Network’s crypto Ponzi to solely focus on “education package” pyramid recruitment.

The SEC sued Pacheco in May 2019, alleging iPro Network was a $26 million dollar pyramid scheme.

 IPro was a fraudulent pyramid scheme. IPro’s inevitable collapse was hastened by Pacheco’s fraudulent use of investor funds, which included, among other things, the all-cash purchase of a $2.5 million home and a Rolls Royce.

Pacheco’s misappropriation accelerated the rate at which IPro became unable to pay the commissions and bonuses due its investors.

Pacheco’s initial response to the SEC’s lawsuit saw him claim he couldn’t be sued, because “the SEC did not suffer any actual damages”.

Pacheco would go on to settle iPro Network fraud claims with the SEC in December 2022. A $2.1 million final judgment was entered against Pacheco in September 2023.

Now, roughly a year later, Pacheco has resurfaced with DEFI Money Club.

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

YoCart operates from two known website domains:

1. yo-cart.com (already abandoned) – privately registered on October 22, 2022
2. yocart.articimo.com – first registered in 2003, private registration last updated on December 8th, 2024

If we check the source-code of YoCart’s website support page, we learn it runs on the Meiqia platform:

Meiqia is a Chinese software company based out of Beijing. This suggests whoever is running YoCart has ties to China.

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.

Following on from Ageeon’s collapse on December 17th, scammers behind the Ponzi have initiated a recovery exit-scam.

On December 26th, 2024, Ageeon sent out a communication advising withdrawals would remain disabled (investors are being strung along with promises of “delayed withdrawals”).

24 hours later Ageeon has also launched a “Premium Account” recovery exit-scam. [Continue reading…]
