Smart Assets Review: Fidocap Ponzi clone
Smart Assets fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.
Smart Assets presents “Horald Livani” as its CEO:
Livani is also the cited CEO of Fidocap, a Ponzi scheme believed to be run by Russian scammers hiding in Thailand.
Both Fidocap’s and Smart Assets’ Horald Livano is played by Jordon Shinn, an American actor living in Thailand.
In case it wasn’t obvious, Smart Assets and Fidocap share the same website template. The same scammers appear to be behind both companies.
Smart Assets’ website domain (“smartassetts.com”), was privately registered on April 9th, 2024.
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…]

BioLimitless Review: Daisy Ponzi victims –> supplements?
BioLimitless fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
In fact as I write this, BioLimitless’ website is nothing more than an affiliate sign in form:
In Late July BioLimitless held a prelaunch event in Arizona. The event was run by Jeremy Roma…
…and Joshua Denne:
Eric Nepute also appears on BioLimitless corporate presentations:
Roma is also a former Investview executive. Roma is still tied to Investview through shares issued to Freedom Enterprises LLC, of which Roma is the Managing Partner of.
As of May 2024, Investview is the subject of an SEC investigation into suspected iGenius related securities fraud.
Roma is also co-founder and the face of the Daisy Global Ponzi schemes.
The last iteration of Daisy Global collapsed in December 2023. A “Blockchain Sports” reboot materialized in February 2024 but failed to gain any traction.
As of July 2024 Roma and co-conspirators Eduard Khemchan and Ilya Marin were still gaslighting Daisy Ponzi victims over their losses.
It is against this backdrop of widespread financial destruction that Roma is launching BioLimitless.
Joshua Denne is a twice convicted felon. Denne pled guilty to felony drug and gun charges in 1998. He was also convicted of insurance fraud in 2011.
In 2020, Denne was tied to COVID-19 mask contract grifting in California.
Joshua Denne appeared on BehindMLM’s radar in 2023, as CEO of Blockchain Alliance.
Denne is also a former Daisy Global Ponzi promoter:
While Blockchain Alliance’s website is still up, the SSL security certificate has lapsed.
Blockchain Alliance’s official FaceBook page was abandoned in January 2024. Its official Twitter profile was abandoned a few months later in May.
Eric Nepute is a chiropractor from Missouri. Prior to getting involved in BioLimitless Nepute ran Quickwork LLC.
In April 2021 the DOJ and FTC filed a civil suit against Nepute and QuickWork LLC over bogus COVID-19 claims;
In a complaint filed on April 15, 2021, the government alleged that the defendants made misleading and unsubstantiated advertising claims that their Vitamin D and Zinc supplements could be used to treat or prevent COVID-19, and in fact provide equal or better protection against COVID-19 than the available COVID-19 vaccines.
The complaint also alleged that the defendants had mischaracterized the results of scientific studies to support some of their claims.
Nepute was also reported to have been running around telling people tonic water treated COVID-19.
QuickWork LLC settled with the DOJ for $1 million, “partially suspended due to an inability to pay.”
On July 19, the court granted partial summary judgment against Nepute, finding that there was no reasonable basis in the record to support claims that Zinc can treat or prevent COVID-19, or that Vitamin D or Zinc provide equal or better protection against COVID-19 than the available COVID-19 vaccines.
In an order entered on Aug. 2, Nepute agreed to an injunction and to pay $80,000 in civil penalties.
Nepute’s injunction prohibited him from making further deceptive claims regarding COVID-19.
The court’s injunctions prohibit the defendants from advertising that their supplements can prevent, cure, mitigate, or treat COVID-19 without competent and reliable scientific evidence to support such claims.
The defendants are also banned from misrepresenting the results of COVID-19 research in their advertising.
The defendants agreed to pay damages in the event that they make prohibited representations in the future.
With BioLimitless, Nepute appears to be violating the terms of his court-ordered injunction.
BioLimitless is marketing an ebook authored by Nepute titled “Become Limitless”:
At page 38 in the book, Nepute writes;
The pandemic was a critical juncture in my career. As our clinics navigated the crisis, we employed holistic and preventative measures that proved effective.
Despite our success, we faced significant backlash. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused me under the COVID Consumer Protection Act, alleging I misled patients about the necessity of vaccines when promoting the importance of nutrition and immune support.
This lawsuit, which demanded an astronomical $508 billion, underscored the lengths to which authorities would go to suppress alternative viewpoints.
After a nearly four-year legal battle, I was exonerated. This victory was not just personal but a testament to the importance of scientific integrity and the value of holistic health approaches.
I’ve linked to and quoted what actually happened above. I don’t know why Nepute is lying about the injunction and monetary penalty he agreed to, but those now published lies would appear to be a violation of the court’s order.
BioLimitless operates from two known website domains:
- biolimitless.life – privately registered on May 21st, 2024; and
- biolimitlessdirect.com – privately registered on April 29th, 2024

Iberdrola VIP Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
Iberdrola VIP fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Of note is Iberdrola VIP’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

Ageeon Review: Crypto trading MLM Ponzi
Ageeon fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Ageeon has three known website domains:
- ageeon.com – privately registered on August 15th, 2019
- ageeon.live – privately registered on February 22nd, 2024
- ageeon.icu – privately registered on August 27th, 2024
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Ageeon provides Canadian shell company details for Ageeon LTD.
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.
Update 27th August 2024 – Pursuant to Ageeon pretending to have ties to Canada, the Ontario Securities Commission issued an Ageeon securities fraud warning on July 23rd, 2024. /end update
Over on YouTube, Ageeon has uploaded marketing videos featuring AI robo-dubbed avatars:
Update 22nd November 2024 – Ageeon held a marketing event in Dubai on November 20th, 2024.
The event was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and put together by Dannie Rees and his company Dr. Events.
Hosting the event was Ryan Hand (below).
On social media Hand cites himself as a TV and Radio presenter from the UK.
Introduced as the “head of Ageeon” was “Mark Watson”.
Watson, who is clearly played by an actor, has what I believe is a European accent. After the actor playing Watson was done reading off his script, Rogelio Soto Acuna was wheeled out.
Acuna is a failed Mexican politician turned MLM crypto Ponzi promoter. He is introduced as a “coordinator at Ageeon”.
Back in February Acuna was a “leader” in Own Capita.
Own Capita launched in February 2024 and pitched passive returns of up to 3% a day.
The MLM crypto Ponzi went on to collapse in mdi 2024. Own Capita had it own Boris CEO, so it’s possible the same scammers who ran it are also behind Ageeon.
Following Acuna a bunch of other Ponzi scammers from other countries took to the stage. Despite the event running at around four hours, whoever is actually running Ageeon remains unknown.
Nonetheless, BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.
Why Ageeon is a scam is laid out in the rest of this review. /end update
