USDOzon Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
USDOzon fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
USDOzon’s website domain (“ma.usdozon.cc”), was registered with bogus details on November 14th, 2024.
Of note is USDOzon’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).
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…]
Ventrobi Review: Boris CEO MLM crypto Ponzi
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;
- Boris CEO Ponzi schemes are typically run by Russian and/or Ukrainian scammers
- Tim Waider is from and lives in Ukraine
- 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.
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…]

Robex AI Review 2.0: Ponzi victims ignored after collapse
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 Review: Eric J. Dalius continues securities fraud
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.
Read on for a full review of MemeGames’ MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
