Legacy Builders is an illegal gifting scheme launched in 2024. Founder Michelle Oneil created the scam under her Digital Growth Community branding.

Oneil launched Legacy Builders following the collapse of Infinity Processing System, a prior illegal gifting scheme Oneil promoted.

Legacy Builders recruitment peaked around mid 2024. Either towards the end of 2024 or by early 2025, Legacy Builders recruitment had inevitably collapsed.

About a week ago Oneil, who personally claims to have misappropriated “over $5 million” through illegal gifting schemes, announced Legacy Builders 2.0.

Caxton AI fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Caxton AI operates from two known website domains:

1. m.exoraivip.com – registered with bogus details on January 5th, 2025
2. app.brpgai.com – registered with bogus details on November 10th, 2024

Of note is both of Caxton AI’s website domains being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

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…]

The Code fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

The Code’s website domain (“thecode.marketing”), was privately registered on December 4th, 2024.

Further research reveals The Code marketing videos featuring COO Steve Mitchell…

…and CEO Michael Turner:

Steve Mitchell is an MLM veteran who, as per his own website, has promoted NSA, Cabouchon, Euphony, Tiscali, FFI (Fuel Freedom International?), Monavie, Talk Fusion, Visalus, Modere, Melaleuca, Le-Vel, MWR Travel and Velovita.

In April 2024 Mitchell announced he was retiring:

Evidently Mitchell’s retirement didn’t work out.

In a January 25th The Code prelaunch marketing video, Mitchell introduces Michael Turner as follows;

Michael is an honored doctor with a doctorate degree. He’s a certified Dale Carnegie trainer, a hands-on dynamic executive with a proven track record of delivering change and excellence around the globe.

For example, he’s operated companies in sixty-two countries. Launching start-ups and managing billion dollar companies and brands.

He has over twenty-five years experience in people, corporate and field teams. And he’s a board member of Globee International.

Now as a guest presenter on BBC and iTV and Reuters International, I’d also like to welcome him now. My friend and the CEO of The Code, Michael Turner.

As per his LinkedIn profile, Turner is has MLM executive experience through:

• Nutrition For Life (2003-2005) – North European Sales Manager
• MannaTech (2006-2009) – Director International Business Development
• Agel (2009 – 2012) – President EMEA
• Unicity International (2012-2019) – Vice President Europe, Middle East and North Africa, and Vice President EURASIA
• Jeunesse (2019-2023) – General Manager

Turner has been a board member of Globee International since January 2023.

On its website, Globee International claims to be an “international agency” that “focuses its efforts on building broad international coalitions in support of Ukraine”.

Turner claims “full professional proficiency” in Russian. Turner’s honorary degree was issued by Ukraine’s Kharkov National University in August 2016.

At the time Turner was working for US MLM company Unicity International, which is a bit odd.

Another name we can attach to The Code is Alfredo Bala:

Bala, who also goes by Al Bala, appears as a “guest” and “trainer” in The Code marketing videos.

Bala was CEO of MannaTech until April 2024. That said, as late as January 2025 Bala was still appearing at Mannatech marketing events:

If Bala has any additional involvement or ties to The Code, this is being withheld.

As per their respective social media profiles:

• Steve Mitchell is based out of Spain
• Michael Turner is based out of the UK
• Alfredo Bala is based out of the US

The Code fails to provide a corporate address on its website. The Code’s website Termsn and Conditions suggests The Code is run through a Seychelles shell company;

he Code, Marketing and Mentoring Platform is registered in accordance with the Companies Act of the Seychelles with the appropriate license issued by the Seychelles Licensing Authority (SLA) as stated by the Licenses Act 1986.

Seychelles is a tax-haven with no known MLM regulation. The Code being registered through a Seychelles shell company raises an immediate red flag.

LitaPower Jiarunwj fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

LitaPower Jiarunwj’s website domain (“jiarunwj.com”), was first registered in 2012. The private registration was last updated on March 8th, 2025.

USDT24HS fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

USDT24HS’ website domain (“usdt24hs.com”), was privately registered on November 19th, 2024.

As of February 2025, SimilarWeb was tracking USDT24HS’ website from Brazil (96%) and Portugal (4%).

This lends itself to whoever is running USDT24HS operating from Brazil. Or at the very least speaking Portuguese.

DSOA fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

DSOA operates from two known website domains:

1. m.gold-mine.cc – registered with bogus details on November 9th, 2024
2. s.dsoaearn.com – registered with bogus details on February 11th, 2025

DSOA has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued a DSOA pyramid fraud warning on March 10th, 2025.

Of note is both of DSOA’s website domains being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

Rockit Gig fails to provide ownership or executive information on either of its websites.

Rockit Gig operates from two known website domains:

1. rockitgig.com – privately registered on June 18th, 2024
2. rockitgig.app (affiliate login) – privately registered through a Montana address on November 19th, 2024

Further research reveals Rockit Gig market videos featuring Robert Oblon, Cameron Corr and Mike Darling.

Over on Oblon’s personal FaceBook page, he cites himself as Rockit Gig’s CEO:

Oblon, who also goes by Rob Oblon, made a name for himself as President of the WorldVentures pyramid scheme.

Oblon also had a 5% ownership stake in the company and owned Travopoly, a travel vendor WorldVentures provided discount travel through.

Oblon left WorldVentures around the time the company filed a lawsuit against him in 2011. In its lawsuit WorldVentures accused Oblon and Travopoly of non-compete and non-solicitation contractual violations.

Travopoly continued on as a standalone vacation platform. In May 2016 BehindMLM reviewed Elevacity, an MLM company tied to FourOceans Global and Travopoly.

In 2018 Elevacity was rebooted as Elepreneurs. Elepreneurs was tied to parent company Sharing Services Inc., a publicly trading company losing millions of dollars annually.

Through Elepreneurs Sharing Services (now Sharing Services Global Corp), turned things around. Sharing Services generated $2.7 million in net earnings between 2019 and 2020.

Amid allegations of gross financial misconduct, Oblon was removed from Elepreneurs Board of Directors in 2020.

In 2021 Oblon resurfaced as founder and CEO of Amplefei. A statement from Oblon in 2022 suggested Amplefei failed to turn a profit.

Later that same year Amplefei was sold off to LaCore Enterprises. LaCore Enterprises merged Amplefei with Uforia Sciences to create Nucleogenex.

Nucleogenex’s website is still up and cites UClue Inc. as its parent company on its website. UClue Inc. is tied to LaCore Enterprises’ Texas corporate address.

There is no mention of Oblon on Nucleogenex’s website. In 2022 however Oblon, in his capacity as CEO of UClue Inc., signed a settlement pertaining to lead in “Hapinss” branded supplements.

Nucleogenex’s products feature on Rockit Gig’s website:

Given that Nucleogenex is still a LaCore Enterprises company, it appears Oblon, Nucleogenex and Rockit Gig are backed by LaCore Enterprises.

Failure to disclose ownership and executive information on Rockit Gig’s website is a potential violation of the FTC Act.

Skainet Systems has received a pyramid fraud warning from the Central Bank of Russia (CBR).

As per the CBR’s March 14th warning, Skainet Systems exhibits “signs of a financial pyramid”.

Skainet Systems is an MLM trading ruse Ponzi run by German national Michael Baur (aka Micha Baur). [Continue reading…]

Jason Cardiff’s failure to the return the US has resulted in forfeiture of his bail.

Following his arrest in November 2023, Cardiff was granted release on a $530,000 bond.

Cardiff’s bail was secured by

1. $500,000 through a property owned by Lilia Murphy; and
2. $30,000 in cash paid by Brian Kennedy.

Both Murphy and Kennedy submitted affidavits of surety, acknowledging the consequences of Cardiff violating his release conditions.

At the request of the DOJ last month, the court held a motion on Cardiff forfeiting bail on March 11th.

An order issued later the same day states; [Continue reading…]
