CoopCrowd identifies David T Rosen as its founder.

Our founder David T Rosen created the world’s first global crowdfunding system, 5 Star Exchange in March 2001, and we have been successfully delivering great crowdfunding systems without interruption around the globe for two decades.

Rosen, a Canadian resident, refers to cash gifting as crowdfunding.

Rosen first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as founder of the PIE 24/7 pyramid scheme.

In early 2018 Rosen launched Cooperative Crowdfunding, a matrix-based gifting scheme. This was followed by 50/50 Crowdfunding in late 2018.

In late 2019 Rosen rebooted 50/50 Crowdfunding as CoopCrowd.

After the first iteration of CoopCrowd collapsed, Rosen launched Coop5050 in late 2020.

Coop5050 began to collapse in late 2021, prompting Rosen to announce a CoopCrowd reboot.

To keep things simple we’ll refer to the CoopCrowd reboot as “CoopCrowd 2022”.

EazyBot provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

In fact as I write this, EazyBot’s website is nothing more than an affiliate login form:

EazyBot’s website domain (“eazybot.com”), was first registered in 2018. The private registration was last updated with an incomplete Dubai, UAE address, on December 23rd, 2021.

Dubai is the MLM scam capital of the world.

Further research reveals Mohamed Omer Ali crediting himself as founder and CEO of EazyBot:

Prior to reinventing himself as a crypto bro, Ali claims he was “working in the elevators and escalators new installation industry”.

I wasn’t able to establish whether Ali has an MLM history.

Alexa currently ranks the US as the only significant source of traffic to EazyBot’s website (39%).

Update 9th September 2022 – Following on from the US being the largest source of traffic to EazyBot’s website, the company appears to be mostly run out of Florida.

Bar Ali and Peter Antony, a Canadian resident working as Chief Support Officer, the rest of EazyBot’s management are based out of Florida.

David Charles, Vineet Chhabra and Ken Chickk are tied together through 10x Crypto Traders and promotion of Matt Bot AI. /end update

DefiNetworx provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

DefiNetworx’s website domain (“definetworx.com”), was privately registered on August 4th, 2021.

On its website, DefiNetworx claims to be “based in United Kingdom and Lugano Switzerland.”

No evidence of this claim is provided.

Further research reveals official DefiNetworx marketing material citing “Norberto Parisella” as CEO of the company.

Parisella is represented by a cropped photo of some guy sourced from who knows where. He doesn’t exist outside of DefiNetworx marketing material.

DefiNetworx’s CTO, Massimiliano Camozza, does appear to be an actual person.

Polo Swiss AG appears to be a blockchain bro company based out of Switzerland. In the video above Camozza is credited as Polo Swiss AG’s CEO.

Polo Swiss AG has a website up at “polomultimodal”. It appears to run alongside a Brazilian firm going by Polo Multimodal Pecem.

There’s not much going on there. “News” hasn’t been updated since April 2021. Polo Swiss AG’s FaceBook page hasn’t been updated since July 2020.

According to Camozza’s DefiNetworx corporate bio,

in 2017 he achieved certified status as a Blockchain Engineer and Financial Blockchain Analyst.

Whatever that means…

As opposed to Norberto Parisella, Massimiliano Camozza appears to be the actual blockchain bro behind DefiNetworx.
