Solar Oil Project Review: 10 yr ROI smart-contract Ponzi scheme
Solar Oil Project operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche. The company does not provide a corporate address on its website.
Heading up Solar Oil Project is CEO Hitesh Juneja.
One of the key driving figures behind the ‘Beyond Oil™’ initiative, Mr. Juneja brings an invaluably diverse set of skills and experience to the project.
Juneja last popped up on BehindMLM’s radar only recently. In April BehindMLM reviewed Apex Financial, an MLM crypto Ponzi scheme Juneja was cited as a co-owner of.
Juneja typically works with Jason Rose, also an Apex Financial co-founder.
Rose is Solar Oil Project’s Chief Financial Officer.
Prior to Apex Financial, the last time we came across Rose and Juneja they were launching Rise Network. This was back in November 2019.

Ilgamos Ponzi rebooted with ILGON shitcoin
The scammers behind the Ilgamos Ponzi scheme are rebooting with a new Ponzi shitcoin.
A visit to Ilgon’s website reveales Ilgamos isn’t mentioned anywhere.
In fact when a reader reached out to me claiming it was a reboot, I pushed back. There wasn’t anything to go on other than a similar-sounding name.
Confirmation of ILGON being an Ilgamos reboot came by way of a communication sent out to Ilgamos bagholders. [Continue reading…]
UR Worth It Review: Another LaCore Enterprises supp opp
UR Worth It operates in the nutritional supplement MLM niche. The company provides no executive or ownership information on its website.
Ur Worth It’s website domain was first registered in 2012. The registration was last updated, with incomplete details, on January 13th, 2021.
Presumably this is when the current owner(s) took possession of the domain.
Ur Worth It provides a corporate address in Texas on its website. This address belongs to LaCore Enterprises.
LaCore Enterprises is owned by Terry LaCore (right).
The company has become somewhat of an MLM factory over the past years, launching opportunity after opportunity.
LaCore Enterprises MLM companies BehindMLM has reviewed since 2018 include:
- Uforia Science
- Bulavita (sold off to Juuva in early 2021)
- NutriCellix (collapsed mid 2020)
- Lifocity (merged with Liv Labs in early to mid 2021)
- Perfectly Posh
LaCore Enterprises, through LaCore Labs, also manufactures supplements for other MLM companies.
One such company we reviewed in 2018 was Cellis. Cellis appears to have collapsed in or around mid 2019.
A search for “ur worth it ceo” reveals Chris Atkinson crediting himself as Ur Worth It’s founder and CEO.
From 2006 to March 2021, Atkinson and his wife Debbie were top earners in Ambit Energy.
Why the Atkinsons left Ambit Energy is unclear. Ditto why there’s no mention of them on Ur Worth It’s website.
What I did find is a marketing slide crediting the Atkinson’s as company owners.
Secrecy regarding the corporate structure of LaCore Enterprises companies is unfortunately a recurring theme. Due to a lack of transparency, who owns what within UR Worth It is unclear.

How Control Finance scammers duped Karl-Joonatan Mets
Control Finance was a Ponzi scheme launched in mid 2017. It collapsed in early 2018, lasting roughly six months.
In what was later be revealed as one of the earliest examples of a Boris CEO, Control Finance was headed up by “Benjamin Reynolds”.
Following a CFTC fraud lawsuit and eventual $571 million dollar judgment, Benjamin Reynolds was outed as Estonian resident Karl-Joonatan Mets.
Mets professes his innocence, which fits with typically Russian scammers hiring actors to front their scams.
Following correspondence with Mets, today BehindMLM can reveal how Mets was duped. [Continue reading…]
MoneyTime Review: “Profit sharing” digi library Ponzi scheme
MoneyTime provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
MoneyTime’s website domain (“moneytime.io”) was first registered in August 2020. The private registration was last updated on May 10th, 2021.
I suspect whoever is running MoneyTime is operating from India.
This is based on most of MoneyTime’s marketing being done by Indians. Alexa also currently ranks India as the top source of traffic to MoneyTime’s website at 36%.
Canada is the only other notable source of traffic at 25%.
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…]
Elysium Network websites go down (exit-scam in progress?)
Following a tip-off from a reader, just over a week ago I added Elysium Capital to BehindMLM’s review update list.
The review was to be based on a new business model, revealed by Elysium Founder Fred Stege on May 11th.
Three days ago Elysium Network’s websites went down. The only explanation thus far is vague “server maintenance”, that’s supposed to end on June 7th. [Continue reading…]
GreenGold Ponzi collapses after Boris CEO actor outed
Within days of BehindMLM outing GreenGold’s CEO as an actor, the Ponzi scheme has collapsed.
Affiliate investors were notified of the collapse via a backoffice announcement on or around June 2nd. BehindMLM reviewed GreenGold on May 29th. [Continue reading…]

eOracle Review: Espian Global reboot with new Ponzi token
Following months of misappropriating ESPN branding to shill their Ponzi scheme, Espian Global has collapsed.
Now the anonymous scammers behind Espian Global have rebooted as eOracle.
BehindMLM reviewed Espian Global back in March. The Ponzi scheme had a short run, lasting less than half a year.
Now if you attempt to visit Espian Global’s website, you’re redirected to eOracle.
Like Espian Global, eOracle’s website provides no verifiable information on who owns or runs the company.
eOracle represent this individual is their CEO:
The CEO is not named. The signature provided however reads “Edgar Ariel Gavilan Gonzales”.
On LinkedIn Gonzales represents he is from Colombia. Gonzales’ LinkedIn profile cites him as a “Business Developer” for M2R Technology.
M2R Technology is a dead tech company based out of Colombia.
The lack of information about Gonzales, both with respect to eOracle and otherwise, is a red flag.
eOracle’s website domain (“e-oracle.com”) was privately registered on May 31st, 2021.
Espian Global primarily targeted investors in India and Nigeria.
At the time of publication Alexa ranks India as the only notable source of traffic to eOracle’s website (67%).
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…]
EmpiresX Review: 1% a day BTC & ETH Ponzi scheme
EmpiresX provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
EmpiresX’s website domain (“empiresx.com”) was privately registered on December 1st, 2019.
Despite being set to English, certain elements on EmpiresX’s website still show up in Portuguese:
This suggests whoever is running EmpiresX is fluent in Portuguese.
Further research reveals EmpiresX marketing material crediting Emerson Pires and Flávio Gonçalves as co-founders of the company.
According to his LinkedIn profile Emerson Pires is based out of Florida in the US.
BehindMLM first came across Emerson Pires in our comments section. Back in 2018 Pires showed up to defend the Mining Capital Coin Ponzi scheme.
Apperently everyone is misguided and have not done their research correctly.
Instead of speaking about any mlm company in the market why not do actual investigation such as actually speaking to owners and getting the full truth and proof of a a company before jumping into conclusions. Please read your own reviews behindmlm.
As an early investor, Pires likely made money. Mining Capital Coin collapsed by the end of 2018.
Possibly due to language barriers, I was unable to establish Pires’ involvement in any other MLM opportunities.
Flavio Goncalves is purportedly based out of Brazil. Same issue with language-barriers.
Update 5th June 2021 – BehindMLM reader Semjon has tied Flavio Goncalves to the Brazilian MLM software company Technology2u.
It seems Technology2u ran out of scams to sell their services to so, with the help of Emerson Pires, decided to start their own.
