Zallevo operates in the nutritional supplement MLM niche. The company provides a corporate address in Utah on its website.

Zallevo provides no ownership or corporate information on its website. To get that information you need to turn to the Zallevo’s marketing documentation.

This reveals Brandon Broadwater cited as Zallevo’s founder and CEO.

On Twitter Broadwater pitches himself as

founder of the MPW Movement, HealthSync Global, a Multi-Million Dollar Real Estate Company, and over a dozen more successful ventures.

HealthSync Global was rebranded as Zallevo in September 2020.

“We’ve done something we can all be proud of,” said Founder and CEO Brandon Broadwater.

“At Zallevo, people will experience results with our innovative formulations, find a rewarding business opportunity, build their legacy, and become a part of a purpose-driven community that is doing something bigger than themselves.”

I couldn’t find a concrete reason for HealthSync Global rebranding.

On LinkedIn Broadwater claims to have founded HealthSync Global in January 2015.

The company held a “Global Official Launch” in May 2019. Not sure what the story is there.

Broadwater doesn’t appear to have a digital footprint prior to 2015.

On January 21st Hyperverse announced a partnership with Genaro Network.

Who is Genaro Network?

Some blockchain bro data company nobody’s heard of.

As per an accompanying press-release;

Through this cooperation, both parties will work together to establish metaverse WEB3.0. In the construction of metaverse, decentralized blockchain cloud storage is an integral part of it.

Genaro Network will provide HyperVerse with decentralized encrypted storage service, and furnish users with efficient and safe storage of massive data.

I figured this might be due to Hyperverse being unable to use regular cloud providers because, y’know… the whole Ponzi thing.

Anyway I didn’t report on it because it seemed mostly a logistical announcement with little relevance.

Turns out the actual reason behind the partnership is much more sinister. [Continue reading…]

Yesterday a reader brought to my attention a page on Intelligence Prime Capital.

The page is titled “Regulation” and claims Intelligence Prime Capital is a “heavily licensed and regulated investment firm”.

While that sounds impressive, unfortunately it’s all baloney. [Continue reading…]

Ride2Success, which also goes by “R2SInternational”, launched in late 2021.

The company’s website domain (“r2sinternational.com”), was registered on November 14th, 2021.

Heading up Ride2Success is Ariel Sunga (right).

Sunga’s FaceBook profile places him in Manila, Philippines.

Sunga appears to have a history of running Ponzi schemes:

Team Boss Manager touts a passive 270% to 400% ROI. Sunga represents Team Boss Manager has been running since 2016.

Team Boss Manager appears to have collapsed in late 2021. This would make it the precursor for Ride2Success.

On January 13th, the Philippine SEC issued a securities fraud warning against Ride2Success and Ariel Sunga.

This appears to have impacted operation of the scheme. At time of publication Ride2Success’ company website was mostly inaccessible.

Earlier this month a reader reached out with details of a business opportunity run by Bob Schafer.

Update 6th April 2022 – A reader in the comments has let me know Schafer also goes by “Bob Shaffer”.

Bob and Jan Shaffer (his wife) run their scam out of their modest home in upstate New York.

/end update

A pitch of the scheme, which doesn’t have a name, was uploaded to YouTube on March 2019.

In my own research I discovered marketed for Schafer’s scheme dating back to 2018. [Continue reading…]

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

KIWIsmart’s website domain (“kiwismart.org”), was privately registered on August 20th, 2021.

At time of publication KIWIsmart’s website advises a “zoom launch event” taking place on January 29th.

This seems odd, seeing as KIWIsmart promotion videos started going up four months ago:

If I didn’t know any better, KIWIsmart already launched and it flopped. They’re now rebooting with a second launch.

In any event, names attached to KIWIsmart’s launch webinar are Rick Fleshman, Alex Ruiz, Syed Jawad Haider, “Tatjana”, Jonas Todorovic, Mike Soh, Malik Atif, Christi Chitic and Gian Luca Gallo.

Of the group, Rick Fleshman appears to be running KIWIsmart as its founder:

Rick Fleshman is based out of California in the US.

Fleshman (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2017, as one of Ormeus Global’s founders.

Ormeus Global was a Ponzi scheme that went through three incarnations, Ormeus Global, IQ Chain and IQ Legacy.

The Ponzi scheme collapsed in 2019, following John Barksdale’s arrest in Thailand that same year.

Following his release, Barksdale has continued to maintain the scheme as “Ormeus Ecosystem”

Interest is virtually non-existent.

Rick Fleshman is tied to John Barksdale through iAM Marketing.

Fleshman is iAM Marketing’s CEO:

Barksdale is iAM Marketing’s founder and Chairman:

If Barksdale is involved in KIWIsmart he’s keeping a low profile.

Update 30th January 2022 – Another former Ormeus Global executive involved in KIWIsmart is Javier Canales.

Canales headed up Ormeus Global’s compliance department:

What we also learn from the first screenshot above is that KIWIsmart went into soft launch in August 2021. /end update

DeFinity FI Academy provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

In fact as I write this, DeFinity FI Academy’s website is locked behind a referral form:

DeFinity FI Academy’s website domain (“definityfi.io”), was privately registered on October 6th, 2021.

Further research reveals official DeFinity FI Academy marketing videos hosted by Toan Nguyen and Wayne Marcel “Blockchain Wayne”.

Nguyen refers to himself as DeFinity FI Academy’s “lead consultant”. Marcel is cited as the company’s “head educator”.

Toan and his partner Van appear to have gotten involved in MLM through Legal Shield over a decade ago.

Nerium was next (2015), followed by Wor(l)d Global Network (2017), ByDzyne (2019) and BioReigns (also 2019).

Promotion of BioReigns seems to have stopped around October 2020.

Nguyen’s crypto bro journey appears to have started in mid 2018.

After starting out promoting various shitcoins through “PIG” or “Passive Income Group”, Nguyen began promoting “yield farm” Ponzi schemes about six months ago.

This led to MLM crypto Ponzi schemes, starting with BNBBusiness in October 2021.

Yesterday Nguyen began promoting Meta Bounty Hunters, an MLM NFT crypto Ponzi.

Wayne Mancel (right) is co-founder of Crypto Experience.

Crypto Experience is an annual crypto bro event held in Florida.

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…]
