1 Click Trading operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

The company appears to be headed up by co-founders Doyle Shuler and Richard Hornshaw.

Doyle Shuler (right) is based out of South Carolina in the US.

Circa 2010-2011, Doyle was promoting gold themed opportunities; ISN Coins and Preservation of Wealth.

ISN Coins lent itself to affiliate autoship recruitment. Preservation of Wealth was a flat out pyramid scheme.

From around 2016 onward, Shuler stopped promoting gold themed MLM opportunities. He appears to have jumped on the cryptocurrency bandwagon in or around 2018.

This culminated with Shuler promoting several cryptocurrency MLM Ponzi schemes from late 2019.

Since October 2019 Shuler has promoted Sports Trading BTC, My Passive Trades and Kangot.

Richard Hornshaw (right) is based out of the UK. In 2017 he was promoting World Global Network.

In 2018 Hornshaw ditched World Global Network to promote MLM cryptocurrency scams.

The earliest example I was able to find was World Cryptocurrency 101 in August 2018.

By October 2018 Hornshaw had jumped ship for Karatbars International, who by then had also jumped on the cryptocurrency fraud bandwagon.

In January 2019 Hornshaw was promoting HGFX Online, a collapsed forex trading scheme, and the GoFounders pyramid scheme.

That appears to be it up until 1 Click Trading’s launch.

Coin-Gen provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

Coin-Gen’s website domain (“coin-gen.com”) was privately registered on February 26th, 2020.

On its website, Coin-Gen claims to have been running for 685 days. Given the age of the website domain, this and the rest of the stats provided are assumed to be bogus.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Coin-Gen provides a grainy UK incorporation certificate for “Coin Gen Limited”.

A search of UK Companies House records reveals no such entity is registered.

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…]

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

OneLink’s website domain (“onelinknetwork.com”) was privately registered on March 5th, 2020.

For those following the OneCoin Ponzi saga, it’s an open secret that former OneLife “Captain” Simon Le is behind OneLink.

You can find Le on YouTube hosting OneLink marketing presentations:

Simon Le (actual name Le Quoc-Hung) is believed to have joined OneCoin at or around the company’s launch.

Le is primarily responsible for recruitment of OneCoin victims in Vietnam.

During OneCoin’s run Le was a prominent top earner in the company. After CEO Konstantin Ignatov’s arrest early last year, OneCoin all but came to a grinding halt.

What was left of OneCoin promoted Le to Captain of OneLife on or around December 2019.

Throughout December 2019, Le continued to solicit investment into OneCoin:

Although OneLink’s website domain wasn’t registered till March 2020, Le had to have begun planning his new business while still at OneCoin.

Le resigned as OneLife’s Captain in early April, roughly a month after he registered OneLink’s website domain.

Over the course of his six years promoting the Ponzi scheme, how much Le stole from OneCoin victims is unknown.

Le is believed to be hiding out in either Vietnam or Dubai, neither of which have an extradition treaty with the US.

In our recent Auvoria Prime review we touched on a lawsuit filed by Eaconomy against the company.

Although claim dispute filings continue to clog the TelexFree case docket, litigation between the Trustee and IRS is likely the reason no claim distributions have gone out.

We’ve known about the IRS’ claims against the Trustee for a while, but today is the first time we examine the case and what it potentially means for TelexFree victims. [Continue reading…]

VeloVita operate in the nutritional supplement MLM niche. The company is based out of Miami, Florida, however this isn’t disclosed on their website or social media pages.

Heading up VeloVita are co-founders Kosta Gara (CEO) and Jeff Mack (President).

Kosta Gara (right) appeared on BehindMLM’s radar last year, as iGalen’s Chief Executive Advisor.

At the time iGalen was being sued by its product supplier ATM Metabolics.

A settlement saw iGalen lose access to their flagship product, prompting its collapse in November.

Through Gara Group, Kosta Gara also provides development solutions to MLM companies.

Traffic to Gara Group’s website appears to have peaked while iGalen was operating. It has since declined.

We first came across Jeff Mack in 2012 as CEO of Vidacup. Vidacup ran for a few years before closing up shop.

I wasn’t able to pinpoint an exact date but I believe it was sometime between 2015 and 2016.

After Vidacup Mack (right) promoted himself as an “international network marketing expansion expert“.

Update 6th October 2022 – In recently researching another MLM opportunity, I’ve learned VeloVita is a LaCore Enterprises company.

I originally thought it might be a new development, owing to Velovita INC being a relatively new Texas company:

Corporate records from Florida however reveal Velovita was always a LaCore Enterprises company:

I double-checked and there’s no mention of LaCore Enterprises or owner Terry LaCore anywhere on Velovita’s website.

Being a LaCore Enterprises isn’t a negative for Velovita but not disclosing company ownership is.

LaCore Enterprises is based out of Texas and owns a number of MLM companies, all of which market products manufactured by LaCore Labs.

Root doesn’t provide any information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

I became aware of the MLM opportunity after CEO Clayton R Thomas reached out to me via email.

On his LinkedIn profile, Thomas cites himself as Root’s Chairman of the Board since July 2019. In marketing videos Thomas discloses he is Root’s Founder.

Why this executive information isn’t provided on Root’s website is unclear.

In addition to Root, Thomas (right) is also the President of Personalized Healthcare Solution, LLC, Unisource Health Inc and DC2.

As per PHS’ website, the company

connects healthcare providers with state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratories performing Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing, Toxicology and Wellness screens, and Molecular Testing.

Unisource Health and DC2 also operate in the medical niche.

As far as I can tell, Root is Clayton Thomas’ first MLM venture as an executive.

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

AlysDax’s website domain (“alysdax.com”) was first registered in October 2019. The registration details were last updated on February 2nd, 2020, through a German registrar.

AlysDax LTD is listed as the domain owner, through a bogus address in the UK.

Further research reveals a number of AlysDax promoters tying the company to Weenzee.

Weenzee was a Ponzi scheme launched in late 2018. The scam collapsed in in July 2019.

Weenzee was believed to be run by eastern European or Asian scammers, who primarily targeted investors in Brazil.

At the time of publication Alexa cites Brazil (25%), Vietnam (23%) and Japan (10%) as the top three sources of traffic to AlysDax’s website.

This could just be a configuration error, but an oddity I found was Spanish used for support on AlysDax’s default English-language website:
