Rise Network operates in the marketing tools MLM niche.

The company provides a suite address in Texas on its website. The same website cites Rise Network’s founders as Hitesh Juneja, Kevin Hokoana and Jason Rose.

Long-time readers will recognize Juneja, Hokoana and Rose from their DS Domination days.

DS Domination launched in 2013 and combined dropshipping training with pyramid recruitment.

Two years later recruitment slumped. This prompted Juneja, Hokoana, Rose and partner Roger Langille to launch Options Domination.

A few months later Roger Langille, largely credited as DS Domination’s dropshipping guru), cashed out and left.

Options Domination saw Juneja and Hokoana pivot into securities fraud. This continued with the launch of Infinii in late 2015 (Options Domination was launched earlier that same year).

A month after BehindMLM published its Infinii review, the company announced it was dropping its securities fraud offering.

By mid 2016 Infinii was on the rocks, prompting a reboot launch of Options Domination as Infinii Digital Signal Forge.

For the most part, Infinii and its associated companies appears to have gone under or been wound down by the end of 2016.

Not really sure if Juneja, Hokoana and Rose launched anything MLM related over the past three years. Things had been rather quiet until the recent Rise Network launch announcement.

CoopCrowd provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.

CoopCrowd’s website domain (“coopcrowd.com”) was first registered in 2011. The domain registration was last updated in January 2019.

David Rosen is listed as the owner of the domain. Through the Wayback Machine I was able to verify that CoopCrowd’s domain was for sale in 2018.

This suggests that Rosen (right) acquired the domain on or around January 2019.

David T. Rosen first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as founder of the PIE 24/7 pyramid scheme.

In early 2018 Rosen launched Cooperative Crowdfunding, a matrix-based gifting scheme. This was followed by 50/50 Crowdfunding in late 2018.

On or around mid 2019 Rosen appears to have rebooted Cooperative Crowdfunding as CoopCrowd.

ATMxNet provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.

The company does provide a UK corporation number, which corresponds to ATMXNET Limited.

As per Companies House records, ATMXNET Limited was incorporated in May 2017 and dissolved in October 2018.

The stated reason for dissolving the company was compulsory strike-off.

Note that UK incorporation is dirt cheap and for the most part unregulated.

It is a favored jurisdiction for scammers looking to incorporate dodgy companies.

ATMxNet’s website domain (“atmxnet.com”) was registered in May 2017. Thomas Prince is registered as the owner, through a street address in London.

No information on Prince exists outside of ATMxNet’s UK incorporation data. Whether he actually exists is unclear.
