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

Tornado Rising’s website domain (“tornadorising.com”) was registered in March 2018.

Billy Alexander is listed as the owner, through a Georgia state address in the US.

Up until 2017, Alexander (right) was promoting World Ventures.

After WorldVentures Alexander appears to have taken an interest in cryptocurrency.

Majestic Cares provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

Majestic Cares’ website domain (“majesticares.com”) was first registered in January 2018.

The registration was last updated on February 12th, 2019.

Robert Donald of Majestic JB International LLC is listed as the owner, through what appears to be a residential South Carolina address in the US.

On social media Robert Donald (right) goes by Bob Donald.

Possibly due to the generic nature of his name, I was unable to put together Bob Donald’s MLM history.

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

Opus Business represents that it is part of “Advantagens Club” (cited as “Vantagens Club” in their marketing material), although no information about this entity is provided.

What Opus Business do provide is a meaningless incorporation certificate for Opus Business International in Belize.

Belize is a scam-friendly jurisdiction. There is no reason for a legitimate MLM company to incorporate there.

The appearance of Portuguese in Opus Business’ English marketing material suggests whoever is behind the company is from a Portuguese speaking country.

Opus Business’ website domain (“opusbusiness.com”) was registered on July 24th, 2018.

Opus Business International LTD is listed as the owner, through an incomplete address in Kenya, Africa.

It is assumed Opus Business’ website domain registration is bogus.

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…]

Yesss Capital provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The company does provide a UK incorporation number, corresponding with Yesss Capital LTD.

Yesss Capital LTD was incorporated in March 2019 using a virtual address belonging to Regus.

UK incorporation is dirt cheap and for the most part unregulated. It is a favored jurisdiction for scammers looking to incorporate dodgy companies.

Yesss Capital’s website domain (“yesss.cc”) was first registered in 2015. The private domain registration was last updated in February 2019, which is likely when the current owner(s) took possession of it.

Despite not existing until a few months ago, Yesss Capital claims to have ‘been operating in the cryptocurrency mining and trading market since 2015‘.

At the time of publication Alexa ranks the US, Iran and Bangladesh as top sources of traffic to Yesss Capital’s website.

Paytron BTC provides no information about who owns or runs the company on their website.

Further research reveals an official Paytron BTC YouTube channel. The video hosts three Paytron BTC marketing videos, each narrated by Johnny Ganoza.

I was able to verify company ownership with a visit to Ganoza’s “Johnny Gan” Facebook profiles:

Johnny Ganoza (right) has appeared on BehindMLM in connection with a number of schemes over the years.

These include Xtreme Pro System (2014), Average Joe Profit System (2015), PowerPost Profits (2015), The PLR System (2015), The $100 System (2016), Post 2 Profits (2017), Hustle With Us (2017), BitPayProfits (2017) and Infinity Loops (2018).

Ganoza’s schemes all have fraudulent business models and tend to collapse shortly after launch.

Legends VIP Network doesn’t explicitly clarify who runs or owns the business on their website.

Marketing videos featured on Legends VIP Network’s website however feature Val Smyth:

Smyth is also the owner of the Legends VIP Network website domain, which was first registered in 2014.

Smyth first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015 as co-admin of Total Takeover.

Total Takeover was a relatively short-lived recruitment scheme. A few months after launch Total Takeover collapsed.

Later in the year Smyth returned with The Elite Networker, another recruitment-driven opportunity.

In 2016 Smyth launched Mentoring Millionaires, a combination pyramid gifting scheme.

At the time of publication the Mentoring Millionaires website is misconfigured.

With an Alexa website traffic ranking of over ten million, it’s a safe bet that Mentoring Millionaires has long-since collapsed.

Of note is Val Smyth’s use of a Canadian address to register the Legends VIP Network website domain.

A Washington address is provided on the Legends VIP Network website terms and conditions.
