At the time attorneys represented the Success by Health corporate entities, as well individual defendants James D Noland, Jr, Lina Noland, Thomas Sacca and Scott Harris.
Stated reasons in the withdrawal motion are as follows:
1. The clients have failed to substantially fulfill their obligations to the Firm regarding the Firm’s services and has been given reasonable warning that the Firm would withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled; and
2. Continued representation will result in an unreasonable financial burden on the lawyer or has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client.

Alcore Betting Company Review: Bogus betting Ponzi
Alcore Betting Company provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
Alcore Betting Company’s website domain (“alcore.club”) was privately registered on October 16th, 2019.
On YouTube Alcore Betting Company has this guy playing founder and CEO William Copper:
The man representing Copper has an eastern European accent, making him likely a Boris CEO actor.
Supporting this is Alcore Betting Company’s promo videos appearing to be shot in bare rented offices.
Also supporting this is the presence of Russian web assets used in Alcore Betting Company’s website source-code:
Behind the US, Alexa cites Russia as the second largest source of traffic to Alcore Betting Company’s website (9%).
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…]
GoArbit Review: 200% ROI crypto ruse Ponzi scheme
GoArbit provides no information about who owns or runs the company on their website.
GoArbit’s website domain (“goarbit.com”) was privately registered on January 26th, 2020.
In their compensation material, GoArbit cites Maximo Martinez as founder and CEO of the company:
Martinez is supposedly based out of the Dominican Republic.
Possibly due to language barriers, I was unable to find an MLM history on Martinez.
His GoArbit corporate bio is generic and doesn’t provide anything that can be independently verified.
I was close to writing Martinez off as a Boris CEO actor but he does appear GoArbit marketing videos.
Past MLM companies Martinez has been involved in remain unknown.

Norwegian police drop Lyoness case due to lack of resources
Oslo police have decided it’s not worth pursuing an investigation into Lyoness.
Audun Kristiansen, a prosecutor at the joint unit for intelligence and investigation, told E24
In light of the current situation and that the case will require considerable resources over a long period of time, we consider it necessary to allocate resources elsewhere.
Last October the Gaming Board filed a report with the Oslo Police department, detailing ongoing Lyoness activity in Norway. [Continue reading…]
INBS International Review: Mainston Ponzi reboot
INBS International is a continuation of the Mainston Ponzi scheme.
In an attempt to create the illusion of distance, Mainston is presented on INBS International’s website as a partner company.
In reality INBS International is run by the same people who run Mainston; Fabrice Kerherve and Patrick and Sandra Colin.
For all intents and purposes Mainston and INBS International are the same company.
Mainston originally launched in 2015 as a simple four-tier deep pyramid scheme. I believe it collapsed by the end of the year.
Fabrice Kerherve resurfaced in 2019 with Flash4People, a failed MLM crypto Ponzi attempt.
A few months later Kerherve resurrected Mainston to try again.
Mainston’s Ponzi reboot saw it market STON tokens, which Kerherve and his Colin partners sold to gullible investors.
According to Mainston’s website, the company bilked investors out of €8.5 million euros.
After investment dried up, so too did interest in Mainston.
To placate angry investors and as predicted in our July 2019 Mainston reboot review, the company opted for the exchange exit-scam model.
Once their secret ICO is over, or Kerherve and his partners are satisfied they’ve milked as much as they’re going to get out of investors, attempts to get STON listed on some dodgy public exchanges will begin.
Once one or more suitable exchanges are found, STOR will set a public listing launch date.
This will hype the initial listing price, further allowing Kerherve and his partners to cash out at STON’s pumped initial listing value.
Because STON is an utterly pointless shitcoin that brings absolutely nothing new to the table, it’ll then start to dump.
The exit-scam plays out by way of angry affiliates realizing they’ve been cheated, only to be told Mainston upheld their part of the contract by providing them with a token.
Fabrice Kerherve and his co-conspirators make off invested funds, and if it’s enough they’ll never be seen again.
The exchange Mainston found to list its token on was Latoken, a dodgy shitcoin exchange run out of Russia.
STON’s Latoken listing appears to have taken place last December or so.
After the initial dump, STON flatlined until earlier this month:
This coincides with ramped up promotion of INBS International.

BAASCorp Review: 4% a day blockchain fraud Ponzi
BAASCorp provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
BAASCorp’s website domain (“basscorp.com”) was privately registered on November 11th, 2019.
On its website, BAASCorp claims to be “Japan’s #1 Blockchain as a service Investment Platform”.
Seemingly in support of this, BAASCorp provides an incomplete address in Hokkaido.
At the time of publication Alexa doesn’t rate Japan as a significant source of traffic to BAASCorp’s website.
According to Alexa, the top three sources of traffic to BAASCorp’s website are the US (21%), Vietnam (8%) and Canada (7%).
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…]
