When news of the BitClub Network arrests broke last December, we learned that the grand jury indictments behind the arrest were under seal.

And so they remained until all of the defendants were in custody.

That condition was finally satisfied last week, following Russ Medlin’s arrest in Indonesia.

With Medlin’s arrest came the unsealing of the indictments, which today we’re examining as originally filed. [Continue reading…]

Forrise provides highly sketchy information on its website.

Forrise’s website domain (“forrise.com”) was registered in July 2019. The company began promoting itself on social media last December.

Despite only existing for around half a year, Forrise claims

the company dates back to 2009 when its Director General Adam Schultz started his career studying finances in Great Britain.

Adam Schultz features in Forrise marketing videos:

The actor playing Shultz has a distinctly eastern European accent, making him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

Forrise also provides an Panama incorporation certificate for Forrise INC. on their website. For due-diligence purposes however the certificate is meaningless.

At the time of publication Alexa cites the US as the primary source of traffic to Forrise’s website (76%).

Emris International launched in 2019 and operates in the nutritional supplement MLM niche.

Heading up Emris International are co-founders Aspen Emry (CEO), Ilean Harris (CSO) and Matthew Harris (CVO).

“Emris International” is an amalgamation of the co-founders’ surnames.

Prior to founding Emris, Aspen Emry was promoting It Works.

Up until about a year ago Ilean Harris marketed herself as an MLM trainer and speaker.

Promo videos on Harris’ YouTube channel date back six years.

As per Matthew Harris’ bio, provided by MLM Nation podcast, he

discovered network marketing and struggled for years before he finally found “success.”

Matthew’s success ended in disappointment as 3 companies in a row were shut down or went out of business.

Matthew promised he would never do MLM again but later on realized he could never leave the profession so he decided to give it one more shot.

In his current company, Matthew made over $250,000 and built a team of 10,000 people in his first 6 months.

A Business For Home article published in 2017 ties Harris to Total Life Changes.

Harris’ YouTube channel reveals he was promoting Visalus before that. Harris stopped uploading to his YouTube channel three years ago.

Read on for a full review of Emris International’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
