ACX Meta, aka Ad Click Xpress M, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

ACX Meta’s website domain (“acxmeta.is”), was privately registered on May 11th, 2023.

Of note is ACX Meta’s “Ad Click Xpress” branding on its website:

Ad Click Xpress was an adpack Ponzi scheme run by Frederick Mann (right).

Mann, a South African national, is also tied to the JSS Tripler, Profit Clicking, JustBeenPaid non-MLM Ponzi schemes.

In 2018 BehindMLM reviewed Crypto 300 Club, a reboot launched as Ad Click Xpress was collapsing. In 2020 a short-lived JustBeenPaid reboot was launched.

More recently Mann launched CapitaLogic, a trading ruse MLM crypto Ponzi.

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…]

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

CapitaLogic’s website domain (“capitalogic.is”), was privately registered on April 2nd, 2025.

In CapitaLogic’s website source-code, we find a reference to “Ad Click Xpress”:

Ad Click Xpress was an adpack Ponzi scheme run by Frederick Mann (right).

Mann, a South African national, is also tied to the JSS Tripler, Profit Clicking, JustBeenPaid non-MLM Ponzi schemes.

In 2018 BehindMLM reviewed Crypto 300 Club, a reboot launched as Ad Click Xpress was collapsing. In 2020 a short-lived JustBeenPaid reboot was launched.

In 2023 Mann launched another Ad Click Xpress reboot, ACX Meta. Fast forward two years and it appears Mann is back with CapitaLogic.

Hi5 Space fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Hi5 Space’s website domain (“hi5space.com”), was privately registered on July 20th, 2024.

A lot of Hi5 Space’s marketing targets Indians. This suggests ties to India but I wasn’t able to confirm.

BehindMLM reviewed Shaklee back in 2020 which, for a legacy MLM company that’s been around for decades, wasn’t that long ago.

Nevertheless following news Shaklee acquired Modere after it collapsed a few months back, a BehindMLM reader requested a review update.

You will want to go back and update your 5-year-old review of Shaklee.

Since that time they have completely revamped their compensation plan, with an expanded sales commission system, minimum customer volume requirement for business leaders, and no “forced affiliate purchases” (i.e. required minimum personal purchases).

Today BehindMLM is revisiting Shakleee for a review update. [Continue reading…]

Pop Max fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Pop Max’s website domain (“popmax.io”), was privately registered on December 23rd, 2024.

In a July 6th Pop Max marketing video from serial Ponzi promoter Sal Khan, “Nick” is represented to be a Pop Max co-founder.

I’m not 100% sure but Nick appears to have a Singaporean or Chinese accent. Whever he’s from, Nick’s actual name is not disclosed.

Update 7th August 2025 – A reader in the comments below has identified Pop Max’s “Nick” as Nicholas Wan, aka Ruicheng Wan (万睿诚).

Prior to co-founding Pop Max, Wan was co-founder and CFO/CMO of IntelliShare.

Intellishare was a Chinese “blockchain technology” pump and dump scheme built around its INE token.

Launched in 2018, Intellishare defrauded primarily Chinese investors before collapsing in 2020. /end update

Another name we can attach to Pop Max is CMO Magnus Larsson:

Larsson is a serial promoter of MLM Ponzi schemes. In 2018 Larsson was promoting LeoCoin:

After LeoCoin Larsson went on to become a top promoter of the Crowd1 Ponzi scheme:

Crowd1 stopped paying investors in 2022. This prompted Larsson to ditch Crowd1 towards the end of the year.

In 2023 Larsson remerged as co-founder of the Dubai-based Alacor Ponzi scheme. Today Alacor’s website is no longer available.

In Sal Khan’s “Nick” interview video, it’s revealed Pop Max is also based out of Dubai.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to Pop Max, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

Sosana operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

Four co-founders, represented by AI-generated avatars, are named on Sosana’s website:

• Dave Track – Chief Shiny Object Officer
• Mark Ross – Chief FOMO Officer
• Brian Lyles – Senior Consultant of Token Regret
• Andrew Belofsky – Chief Illegal Officer
• Reggie Sullivan – Director of Never-Ending Hope

Dave Track, aka David Track, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as founder and President of PrepayCPA in 2011.

Circa 2019 Track was Senior Vice President of Tryp, an MLM pyramid scheme with an illegal unregistered stock offering.

Track reinvented himself as a crypto bro in 2020. Crypto fraud inevitably followed; Bitlocity in 2020 and Tectum in 2022.

Mark Ross appears to be a random crypto bro who followed David Track over from Tectum:

Brian Lyles was appointed Sales Director for North America for Cerule in 2020.

Apparently that didn’t work out and sometime after Lyles turned to crypto fraud. A month ago Lyles was promoting Cryptex, an MLM crypto Ponzi scheme:

Andrew Belofsky and Reggie Sullivan appear to keep a low-profile, I wasn’t able to find anything definitive.

Promoters of Sosana to note are Muhammad Zidan (aka Mack Zidan, Mack Mills), Tracy Le Mont Silver (aka T. Lemont Silver, “The Professor”), Mark Hamlin and Peter Ohanyan.

Muhammad Zidan is a serial promoter of fraudulent MLM schemes, dating back to at least 2012 with Empower Network.

Mills continues to defraud consumers through various schemes, primarily through AI-generated slop content.

Tracy Le Mont Silver is another long-time fraudster. Silver made a name for himself as a top promoter of the Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme.

Instead of manning up when he was caught and facing a $2.3 million clawback, LeMont uprooted his then young family and fled to the Dominican Republic.

For the past thirteen years Silver has continued to defraud consumers through various fraudulent schemes. BehindMLM last came across Silver about a year ago with Billion Dollar Mind.

In his capacity as a promoter of the Forsage series of MLM crypto Ponzi schemes, the SEC charged Mark Hamlin with securities fraud in 2022.

Hamlin settled the SEC’s charges in August 2022. As part of Hamlin’s Forsage settlement, he was prohibited from committing further violations of federal securities laws.

Over on YouTube Hamlin has continued to promote fraudulent MLM schemes:

E1ULife is an MLM gifting cycler. BizNet College is an MLM pyramid scheme.

Peter Ohanyan is… you guessed it, another serial fraudster.

BehindMLM last came across Ohanyan a few months ago as a Corporate Leader at Booster.

Sosana’s operates from the website domain “sosana.io”, privately registered on November 26th, 2024.

Sosana’s website footer suggests Sosana is being operated through Nosey Pepper Inc., a purported Wyoming shell company.

Finally we’re noting that Sosana originally launched around April 2025.

Sosana’s original launch flopped, prompting it’s co-founder to reboot with an MLM compensation plan earlier this week.

Read on for a full review of Sosana’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
