Coincidence or not I have no idea but less than 24 hours after we called them out on it, Investview disclosed iGenius in new SEC filings.

Well, sort of. [Continue reading…]

Through a web of financial mismanagement and corruption, officials of the Samoan Independent Seventh Day Adventist church in New Zealand stole millions from its congregation.

A lot of the stolen money was pocketed by the officials themselves. The rest was  ploughed into OneCoin and other fraudulent investment schemes. [Continue reading…]

Likely emboldened by the SEC’s lack of action for years, Investview has rebooted Kuvera Global as iGenius.

At the time of publication Kuvera Global’s former website domain now redirects to iGenius.

iGenius is headed up by Chad Garner.

Garner (right) has been with Investview since the Wealth Generators days.

Wealth Generators saw Investview combine investment advice with MLM. Garner was President of Wealth Generators.

In 2018 the CFTC confirmed Wealth Generators ‘illegally offer(ed) forex and binary options to retail investors in the United States‘.

The regulator filed suit against Wealth Generators to ‘protect (consumers) from fraud and other abusive practices.‘

Investview settled the CFTC’s charges for $150,000.

By the time the CFTC settlement was made public, Investview had renamed Wealth Generators to Kuvera Global.

The name change saw Investview pivot from forex fraud to crypto related securities fraud.

Chad Garner was President of Kuvera Global.

Between 2018 and late 2020 Kuvera Global launched numerous crypto related MLM opportunities.

To the best of my knowledge none of these opportunities were disclosed to the SEC, at least not to the degree the fraudulent schemes actually functioned.

Following on and off suspension of ROI payments beginning October 2018, Kuvera Global finally palmed off investor losses to Westmyn and Travis Bott in February 2020.

Again, Investview failed to disclose any of this to the SEC.

Other than killing off Kuvera Global, the only other notable business activity of Investview in 2020 was launching Ndau.

Ndau seems to be some non-MLM shitcoin investment opportunity.

Ndau is publicly tradeable, and following its launch in August 2020, followed the typical shitcoin pump and dump trajectory.

As the above chart shows, Ndau’s slow dump continued until iGenius’ launch in January 2021.

Kuvera Global seems to have been officially killed off towards the end of 2020, bringing us to iGenius.

Investview officially unveiled iGenius via press-release on January 14th, 2021.

Investview … today unveiled its new brand: iGenius.

The iGenius brand represents our stake in the fintech arena and better positions us to distribute new and innovative products, such as ndau, around the world.

The decision to rebrand to iGenius was made to better align the company’s advanced technological infrastructure, superior product offerings, increased customer retention and new partnerships with experienced global distributors.

iGenius will launch the ndau product packages to its customers on Tuesday, January 19th at 1 pm eastern along with their website.

Troncase provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

Troncase’s website domain (“troncase.io”) was privately registered on September 9th, 2020.

Official marketing videos on Troncase’s YouTube channel reveal whoever made them is using an Estonian language-based phone.

This suggests whoever is running Troncase has ties to Estonia.

Update 16th February 2021 – Two individuals have emerged as likely Troncase admins; Martin Karus and Erik Nurm.

On February 8th, serial scammer Ryan Conley uploaded a video interview citing Karus and Nurm as Troncase’s Master Distributors.

Being Master Distributors, Karus and Nurm have positions at the top of the Troncase smart-contract. In the absence of anyone higher, that at the very least makes them admins.

Both Karus and Nurm are from Europe, which ties in with the Estonian connection.

As per his LinkedIn profile, Karus started in MLM with Amway in 2010.

In his own words he “made little success” at Amway, prompting him to join and promote MLM Ponzi schemes.

These include Lyoness, Questra World, Cloud Horizon and Crowd1.

In 2016 a BehindMLM reader tied Erik Nurm to the Nano Club Ponzi scheme.

More recently Nurm worked closely with Karus to scam people through Cloud Horizon and Crowd1.

As per Martin Karus’ Facebook profile, he’s currently hiding out in Malaysia. Erik Nurm’s Facebook profile has him hiding out in Thailand. /end update

At the time of publication Alexa ranks the top two sources to Troncase’s website as Pakistan (48%) and the US (21%).

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…]

iX Global launched last year and is headed up by co-founders Anita Davis (COO), Helen Boyle (CCO) and Joe Martinez (CEO).

On iX Global’s website Martinez is presented as the sole founder of the company. Davis and Boyle appear in the customer testimonials section, which is disingenuous seeing as it’s their company.

Prior to co-founding iX Global, Joe Martinez (right) was promoting Kuvera Global.

Kuvera Global is/was part of Investview, who have been openly committing securities fraud in the US for years.

After multiple collapses the scheme finally fell apart early last year. Kuvera has since rebooted itself as iGenius.

iX Global’s website domain (“ixglobal.us”) was registered in January 2020, one month prior to the official collapse.

Helen Boyle also appears to have been a Kuvera Global affiliate.

Other than her abandoned motivational videos YouTube channel, I wasn’t able to find anything MLM related on Anita Davis.

That said, Kuvera Global seems to be the common link between the three.

Update 23rd February 2021 – It appears prior to IX Global Anita Davis was involved in “IGOnline” (Dec 2017 – Dec 2019).

As per an IGOnline investor, IGOnline marketed an “forex automation service”.

The Facebook group IGOnline was renamed IX Global UK in March 2020:

As far as I can tell, IGOnline appears to be the precursor of IX Global. /end update

Both Boyle and Davis are based out of the UK. Joe Martinez is from the US.

iX Global doesn’t provide a corporate address on its website. iX Global’s website terms and conditions however state:

all aspects of the Website and Company Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah.
