NewChoyce Review: Crowd1 scammers launch own Ponzi
Although he might not be running the company, nobody had heard of NewChoyce till Renze Deelstra was booted out of Crowd1.
Deelstra, who also goes by Renz Eduardo, was terminated from Crowd1 about a month ago.
The official reasons for Deelstra’s termination was “cross recruiting and unethical behavior”.
According to official marketing material, NewChoyce was founded by O’Neil Louzia.
Unsurprisingly, both Louzia and CEO Hans Stadler are also former Crowd1 Ponzi promoters.
Considering Renze Deelstra was one of Crowd1’s top promoters, these three are all likely from the same Crowd1 downline.
Deelstra’s Ponzi scamming goes back years. He’s been stealing money from people as far back as Zeek Rewards, as well as Flexkom and Carcoin.
Originally from the Netherlands, Deelstra has since fled Europe for the Philippines.
Before pushing Ponzi schemes, O’Neil Louzia appears to have started his MLM career with OXO Worldwide.
According to his Facebook profile, Louzia is from and resides in the Netherlands.

F2S Fund Review: $150 in, $55,680 out BTC Ponzi scheme
F2S Fund provides no credible information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
F2S Fund does provide a list of executives supposedly running the company, however these are a combination of stock photos and actors.
Two actors appear both on F2S Fund’s website and in their marketing videos; “Nick Wood” and “Michael Le”.
Wood is the more prominent of the two, appearing in more videos.
F2S Fund presents Wood as its Chief Coordinator.
In reality Wood doesn’t exist outside of F2S Fund’s marketing. He’s an actor shooting videos in front of a green screen.
Wood’s last appearance on F2S Fund’s official YouTube channel was three months ago.
Update 7th June 2021 – BehindMLM reader AntiMLM has done some digging and found a bunch of Nick Wood’s work online, predating F2S Fund.
AntiMLM’s research can be found below in the comments (#19). /end update
Alexa currently ranks Bangladesh as the only notable source of traffic to F2S Fund’s website (39%).
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…]
LeoTrade Review: Monthly returns bitcoin Ponzi scheme
LeoTrade provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
LeoTrade’s website domain (“leotradeltd.com”) was privately registered on February 24th, 2021.
Despite only existing for about a month, LeoTrade falsely claims that it has “More than 2 Years in Business” [sic].
LeoTrade provides a corporate address in the US state of California on its website.
Given LeoTrade’s website was registered through a European registrar, the company is unlikely to have any ties to the US.
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…]

Silver Partners for Profits Review: T.J. Rohleder cash gifting
Silver Partners for Profits’ front-facing webpage doesn’t provide any company ownership information.
At the end of the website’s “Terms, Conditions, & Privacy Policy” however, T,J, Rohleder of The Direct Response Network is cited as the company owner.
A PO Box address in Goessel, Kansas is also provided.
Elsewhere on the internet Rohleder (right) claims to have
launched the Direct Response Network in 1996 with an emphasis on teaching direct response marketing strategies.
Rohleder refers to himself as “America’s Blue Jeans Millionaire”.
Before Silver Partners for Profits Rohleder was promoting the MOBE pyramid scheme.
The FTC alleged MOBE was a pyramid scheme, through which promoters such as Rohleder “bilked consumers out of over $125 million.”
After the FTC shut down MOBE in mid 2018, Rohleder showed up on BehindMLM to defend the scam’s owner Matt Lloyd.
MOBE is a truly great company. Matt Lloyd is one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs I have ever met. He and his company will pull out of this and be victorious.
In March 2020 the FTC secured a $318 million dollar fraud judgment against MOBE and Lloyd.
