P2 Tron Review: Power of 2 smart-contract Ponzi cycler
P2 Tron provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
P2 Tron’s website domain (“p2tron.com”) was privately registered on August 19th, 2020.
P2 Tron’s official Facebook group has one admin, Shawn Kim. Frank Trenado is the group’s sole moderator.
Kim is a Faceless Facebook profile that has been dormant for years. The account has been used to promote USI-Tech and Jeunesse (Brazil) in the past.
One of Kim’s posts references “Richmond” a P2 Tron co-creator.
Whether Shawn Kim is an actual person or the account or was recently purchased is unclear.
Similarly, Frank Trenado’s Facebook profile hasn’t been dormant since 2013.
There is a YouTube channel bearing Trenado’s name. It features a Primerica marketing video uploaded in September 2015.
Trenado features in the video at [0:34]:
The other video on Trenado’s channel is a promo for the Eyeline Trading Ponzi scheme.
As per their respective Facebook profiles, both Kim and Trenado are based out of California.
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…]

Essential Access Network Review: The Shift Is Real telemed
Essential Access Network operates in the telemedicine MLM niche. The company is being marketed under “The Shift Is Real” branding.
To keep thing simple, we’ll refer to the company as Essential Access Network in this review.
Essential Access Network provides a suite address in Wyoming on its website.
Further research reveals this address belongs to “Contact Registered Agents”, an incorporation merchant.
Heading up Essential Access Network are co-founders J. Joshua Beistle and Doug Wellens.
J. Joshua Beistle (right) first appeared on BehindMLM in 2013, as President of the JubiRev Ponzi scheme.
Essentially a reload of the notorious Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme, JubiRev collapsed a few months after launch.
Beistle returned in mid 2014 with BrandOnline365, a short-lived pyramid scheme. We haven’t heard anything since then.
Doug Wellens (right) first appeared on BehindMLM in 2014, as co-founder of Infinite Leverage.
Infinity Leverage was a pyramid scheme attached to a marketing platform.
Infinite Leverage was rebooted in 2015 as Traffic Authority. Traffic Authority was rebooted in 2018 as Finish Line Network.
On his personal Facebook profile, J. Joshua Beistle claims to be residing in Arizona. Doug Wellens’ profile cites him in Georgia.
It appears beyond a possible shell company incorporation, Essential Access Network has no actual physical ties to Wyoming.
Read on for a full review of Essential Access Network’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
