Viv Review 3.0: Stronger upfront bonuses, still pay to play
A few weeks back a reader reached out to suggest I revisit Viv in light of compensation changes.
My first port of call was Viv’s website, on which I was only able to find a compensation plan dated September 2020.
I assumed any compensation changes were more recent, so I turned to Viv’s social media profiles.
I found a video titled “2021 Comp Plan Enhancements UNVEILED!”, uploaded to Viv’s official Vimeo channel on December 15th, 2020.
As far as I can tell this is the latest version of Viv’s compensation plan. It is thus the basis of this review.
For reference, BehindMLM first reviewed Viv in November 2018 and again in January 2020.
Read on for an updated Viv review for 2021. [Continue reading…]

Ruja Ignatova disappeared with 230,000 BTC, lawsuit alleges
A lawsuit filed by the Crypto Currency Resolution Trust alleges at the time of her disappearance, OneCoin’s Ruja Ignatova made off with 230,000 BTC.
The staggering amount was worth just over $1 billion in October 2017 ($4600 avg).
That same amount is worth $11.5 billion today ($50,000 avg, note BTC’s public trading value is all over the place this month).
In late 2019 Ruja’s brother, Konstantin Ignatov, testified that she only made off with $500 million. So how do we arrive at double that amount? [Continue reading…]
