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

LoveBiome’s website domain (“lovebiome.com”), was registered in September 2021. The private registration was last updated on September 20th, 2024.

Further research reveals Kelly Olsen cited as LoveBiome’s founder and CEO:

Why this isn’t disclosed on LoveBiome’s website is unclear. Especially considering Olsen is quoted in multiple LoveBiome website blog posts.

In one such post, dated June 22nd, 2022 and authored by Disraeli Rangel (?), Olson (right) explains why he “left retirement and started LoveBiome”.

My story starts in August 2018, in Tokyo Japan.

After years of fighting to get our original Tahitian Noni brand and culture back on center stage, we held a convention in Tokyo that brought everyone back to the very best years of Morinda and Tahitian Noni International.

It was truly like going home. We had done it; we united our entire worldwide organization again with the story of Tahitian Noni.

Fast forward four months. In December 2018, I hosted a large group of our leaders in Tahiti. It was the perfect conclusion to our year. The spirit was so good, and everyone looked forward to a year of unity and growth.

It didn’t happen.

Arriving home in the Salt Lake City airport after that trip, I received a text message to meet my partner at his home immediately. I went. I arrived at 9 am.

It was there that I learned Morinda had been sold. I was an owner and partner, but the deal was done completely without my knowledge. I found out about it that morning.

I was in shock. The papers were prepared, and my partner put them in front of me with a pen and said, “sign them.”

One hour later I met the new CEO who had arranged the purchase of Morinda. Two hours after that, he gathered the managers of the company together to inform them. It all happened fast—like it had been rehearsed.

Morinda wasn’t sold for TNJ, our amazing workforce, Tahitian Noni, or our culture—all the things we were so proud of.

It was sold to become a platform to sell CBD products. The new management couldn’t have cared less about all those other things.

When the CBD idea flamed out, they continued to aggressively pursue the route of acquisitions and mergers with other companies.

You can see for yourself how that turned out. They took a profitable, united company—on the verge of a breakout year—and turned it into an unrecognizable mess. In just three years.

Following acquisition by NewAge in 2018, Tahitian Noni became “Noni by NewAge“.

The deal called for me to remain employed by the company for three years as a figurehead to help with the transition.

I had no role or responsibilities. I was there just to make people feel some continuity with the past. I hated every minute of it, but I felt I may be able to cushion the blow for our employees and distributors.

The three-year agreement lasted less than 18 months: I was asked to depart in March, 2020.

NewAge filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2022. The SEC sued former NewAge CEO Brent Willis for alleged fraud around the same time.

NewAge itself settled fraud allegations with the SEC and was sold off.

NewAge’s 2022 bankruptcy marked the end of Tahitian Noni. In 2023 NewAge rebranded as PartnerCo.

Kelly Olsen claims he founded LoveBiome “to try and keep the memories and culture of Morinda and Tahitian Noni alive” (Tahitian Noni rebranded as Morinda in 2012).

LoveBiome provides a corporate address in Utah on its website.

QT Bot fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

QT Bot’s website domain (“559aa.me”), was registered in November 2024. The private registration, which only reveals the registrant’s country as China, was last updated on March 26th, 2025.

The “VTS” in VTS Fund supposedly stands for “Vector Technology Solution”.

VTS Fund fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Further research reveals VTS Fund citing Stefan Herz as CEO and Andrew Skelzen as CFO:

Over on YouTube we find a rented office marketing video, in which Herz is played by a German-speaking actor in a wig with glasses:

Boris CEO MLM schemes are typically run by eastern European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and/or Belarus). To that end the actor playing Andrew Skelzen has a typical eastern European accent.

Update 14th April 2025 – The actor playing VTS Fund’s Andrew Skelzen has a history of playing fictional executives in Russian Ponzi schemes.

The same actor appeared as “Alex Kapperis” for Resonance Capital:

Resonance Capital was a Boris CEO MLM crypto Ponzi launched in 2017. Kapperis was presented as Resonance Capital’s “Chief Manager of Finance Projects”. /end update

In an attempt to hide its Russian origins, VTS Fund provides investors with a shell company certificates for the UK and Singapore.

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.

VTS Fund’s website domain (“vtsfund.com”), was privately registered on September 9th, 2024.

Despite not existing prior to September 2024, on its website VTS Fund falsely states it was “founded in 2023”.

Of note is VTS Fund providing investors with a purported Aviva insurance contract;

Fake insurance contracts aren’t common but have been presented by Boris CEO Ponzi schemes before.

Q-Research fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Q-Research’s website domain (“q-research.vip”), was registered with bogus details on March 27th, 2025.

Of note is Q-Research’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

Q-Research has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued a Q-Research pyramid fraud warning on April 8th, 2025.

Asset Profit Edge Market fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

While Asset Profit Edge Market does provide a list of executives on its website…

…these are stolen identities that have nothing to do with the company. One can verify this through a few simple Google searches.

Asset Profit Edge Market’s website domain (“asset.profitedgemarket.com”), was privately registered on September 6th, 2024.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Asset Profit Edge Market provides a poorly doctored UK shell company certificate on its website.

Twelve years ago Michael Deese launched the MyAdvertisingPays Ponzi scheme.

MyAdvertisingPays, or MAPS as it was called, is believed to have defrauded US and Europe residents out of tens of millions of dollars.

By late 2015 MyAdvertisingPays was on the verge of collapse. The Ponzi limped along throughout 2016, with withdrawals halting in early September.

Post collapse, Malta issued a MAPS fraud warning in November 2016.

As part of MAPS’ exit-scam ruse, Deese (right) claimed investor funds had been frozen.

To that end in December 2016, Deese filed suit against VX Gateway alleging theft of $60 million.

Deese’s lawsuit cited the owners of VX Gateway as Celia Dunlop and Timothy Mackay, then alleged Texas residents. [Continue reading…]

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

Mosca’s website domain (“moscaworld.com”), was privately registered on November 3rd, 2024.

Further research reveals four Mosca ringleaders; Greg Baldwin (founder and CEO), Spencer Iverson, Jonathan Green and Derek Brown.

Baldwin appears to be a random crypto bro from Ohio. This corresponds with a rented office suite address in Ohio provided on Mosca’s website.

Baldwin not having a publicly verifiable MLM history is a minor red flag.

Spencer Iverson and Jonathan Green are long-time business partners. Along with Derek Brown, they’re promoting Mosca through “FortuneHub”.

BehindMLM last came across Iverson and Green as co-founders of TRVL in 2021.

TRVL was a typical discounted travel MLM pyramid scheme. Having failed to gain traction, TRVL was sold off to DreamTrips International within a year of launching.

Of note is recent promotion of E1ULife through FortuneHub.

E1ULife is an MLM crypto pyramid turned gifting cycler fronted by David Golden, son of convicted fraudster Dwayne Golden.

Why FortuneHub promoting illegal MLM crypto schemes is noteworthy will become apparent as we get into Mosca’s business model.
