A visit to Roy Club’s website reveals the site default loads in Russian.

Switching the site language to English reveals Roy Club fails to provide business ownership information.

Roy Club’s website domain (“roy.club”) was initially registered in March 2019. The private registration was last updated in January 2020.

In addition to Roy Club’s website loading up in Russian, other signs that point to Roy Club being run from Russia include:

• a list of Roy Club “curators”, the overwhelming majority of which are based in Russia;
• Roy Club’s social media profiles are all in Russian; and
• Alexa ranking Russia as the primary source of traffic to Roy Club’s website (73%)

Despite all signs pointing to Roy Club being a Russian company run by Russians, a corporate address in Belarus is provided on Roy Club’s website.

Supposedly some guy going by Pavel Taranenko runs Roy Club’s Belarus office.

Roy Club are prolific on their YouTube channel, having uploaded hundreds of videos since the channel was created in 2014 (probably a renamed or purchased account).

Note that the location of Roy Club’s YouTube channel is Russia.

One of the earliest videos uploaded to Roy Club’s YouTube channel features Alexey Muratov:

Update 3rd February 2022 – Roy Club has deleted the video referenced above from their YouTube channel.

I did have the video linked but consequently have disabled the link. /end update

Muratov is behind the Prizm Ponzi scheme. He is a former MMM Global scammer.

Prizm launched in 2017. Roy Club launching in 2019 appears to be an attempt to reboot investment into the Ponzi scheme.

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…]
