On September 25th a court order gave OneCoin insiders the courtesy of asserting communications with their attorneys were privileged.

Mirror Trading International operates in the forex trading MLM niche.

The company is incorporated and based out of South Africa. Heading up Mirror Trading International is CEO and founder Johann Steynberg.

Prior to founding Mirror Trading International, Steynberg (right) was promoting Syntek Global.

Based on his Twitter account activity, at some point Steynberg took an interest in cryptocurrency.

Earlier this year Steynberg was advertising a “turn $25 into $75 over and over again” opportunity on Twitter:

Guess that didn’t work out.

Although executive information is provided on Exxa’s website, arguably the most important ownership information isn’t.

According to Exxa marketing material, SQ2 Fintech owns 25% of the company:

Anthony Lau is the CEO of SQ2 Fintech. He’s also the CEO of World Blockchain Forum, which means Lau and WBF owner Sheng Zhao are tied to the company.

World Blockchain Forum has emerged as a Ponzi scheme incubator over the past year or so.

In line with each of World Blockchain Forum’s existing schemes, neither Lau or Zhao publicly front Exxa. Instead Danny Pang (right) keeps up appearances as CEO.

Pang featured on BehindMLM late last year, as CEO of Axxa Global.

According to Exxa marketing, the company is a combination of SQ2 Fintech and Axxa Global.

Axxa Global’s website currently has an Alexa ranking of over 5 million, suggesting outside of Exxa it has long since collapsed.

Of the three app wallet Ponzi schemes World Blockchain Forum has launched, Cloud Token and S Block are still operational.

The oldest, Plus Token, collapsed a few months ago. Chinese authorities estimate Plus Token’s collapse resulted in $2.9 billion in losses.

Direct Mail Pro provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.

Direct Mail Pro’s website domain (“directmailpro.com”) was first registered in 2007.

The domain registration was last updated privately on August 1st, 2019.

In the testimonial section of Direct Mail Pro’s website, affiliates promoting the company can be seen thanking Peter Wolfing.

On his personal Facebook profile, Wolfing refers to Direct Mail Pro as “DMP”:

Peter Wolfing (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar back in 2012, as the admin of Turbo Cycler ($200-$1000 matrix-based Ponzi scheme).

Other MLM underbelly schemes launched by Wolfing over the years include Turbo Cycler (cash gifting), Ultimate Cycler (Ponzi cycler), Business Toolbox(chain-recruitment), Infinity 100 (cash gifting), National Wealth Center (cash gifting) and Pay Me Forward (cash gifting).

Despite being launched in 2013 and long-since collapsed, in 2016 Ultimate Cycler Ultimate was revived by Nigerian scammers. Wolfing redesigned the Ultimate Cycler website to cater to Nigerian affiliates and rode the wave.

In 2017 Wolfing launched Ueconomy, a short-lived cash gifting scheme. About a year ago Wolfing launched Hand of Heaven, a shameless religious themed gifting scam.

Hand of Heaven lasted about as long as Wolfing’s other schemes. It seems he’s settled for a scam a year schedule, of which Direct Mail Pro is the latest offering.

A visit to the QuickSilver website reveals no information on who’s behind the company.

Quicksilver’s website domain (“quicksilver.me”) was registered in December 2018.

Quick Silver Global LLC is listed as the owner, through a UPS store address in Florida.

My own research lead me to affiliates marketing QuickSilver in conjunction with Mint Builder.

Mint Builder is a 2017 bitcoin spinoff of ISN Coins, launched by founder and CEO Matt Barkes (right).

I was able to confirm QuickSilver is a second ISN Coins spinoff by visiting their website.

On their website, ISN Coins markets QuickSilver as a “new way to acquire assets!”

Social media marketing reveals QuickSilver went into prelaunch back in May.

Both ISN Coins and Mint Builder appear to be dead. Their respective company websites have Alexa traffic rankings of 3.3 million and 4 million respectively.

QuickSilver appears to be a third attempt to resuscitate the company.
