Last we checked in Wakaya Perfection’s lawsuit against Youngevity had been dismissed.

Wakaya Perfection filed an appeal shortly after the decision in the Tenth Circuit.

The Tenth Circuit overturned the case, kicking it back to the Utah Central Division District Court.

Youngevity’s next move was to file a motion to stay proceedings, which was granted on February 28th. [Continue reading…]

Update 5th April 2025 – Brandi Snow, Director of Customer Support at Corvive, has been in touch to advise “CorVive has transitioned away from the MLM model.”

For over two years, CorVive has operated as a direct-to-consumer (DTC) company. We no longer utilize an MLM compensation plan.

As per Corvive’s website, the company now runs a single-level commission model;

Although Corvive is no longer an MLM company, this review is maintained for historical reference. /end update

CorVive’s website provides no information about who owns or runs the business.

The CorVive website domain was privately registered on January 19th, 2018.

Further research reveals CorVive affiliates citing Jeremy Fouts as founder and CEO of the company (note incorrectly credited as “Fout” below).

Fouts does promote CorVive on social media, however on the CorVive website itself he is conspicuously absent.

According to his LinkedIn profile, prior to founding CorVive Jeremy Fouts was a Crown Diamond in Genesis Pure.

Genesis Pure was an MLM company launched in 2009. Heading up the company was founder and CEO, Lindsey Duncan.

Duncan was also credited as “head formulator” of Genesis Pure’s products.

BehindMLM reviewed Genesis Pure in 2013 and, among other things, cited concerns over pay to play revenue-sharing.

In 2014 the Texas Attorney General sued Lindsey Duncan for fraud. This was followed by a $9 million dollar fine from the FTC.

Despite Duncan’s reputation left in tatters, Genesis Pure continued on as Live Pure.

I’m not sure exactly when he left, but by August 2017 however Jeremy Fouts was out.

Up until a year ago, Fouts was marketing his own branded “leadership training” on YouTube.

The case against the first of OneCoin insider to fall, Mark Scott, is slowly progressing towards trial.

At present there’s a bit of a standoff regarding an agreed trial date.

The DOJ want a trial on or around September 2019. Mark Scott’s attorneys want July. [Continue reading…]

LuLaRoe’s attempts to thwart a victim class-action has devolved into a legal mess.

To recap, back in late 2017 LuLaRoe was sued by several former affiliates.

The lawsuit claims damages of over $5 million and potentially 80,000 class members.

As of April 17th, the case was stayed pending the outcome of compulsory arbitration.

Three days later LuLaRoe filed arbitration demands that sought to have each plaintiff file separate claims (22 in total), which were then to also be arbitrated separately.

In other words; divide and conquer.

Arbitration proceedings played out for the rest of 2018, up until a partial decision was made on January 2nd, 2019. [Continue reading…]

In the wake of US authorities bringing OneCoin’s criminal enterprise crashing down, no doubt there are a lot of people out there trying to bury their association.

Since our initial review of OneCoin on September 23rd, 2014, in which we accurately analyzed and concluded OneCoin was a Ponzi scheme, BehindMLM has published no less than two hundred and fifty-seven articles documenting every twist and turn.

Throughout that journey we came across a colorful cast of characters, most of whom have since moved on from OneCoin. Others simply disappeared off the face of the planet.

According to the DOJ, OneCoin was a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors out of upwards of $4 billion dollars.

Unless you’ve been closely following OneCoin, a perfectly natural response to such a dwarfing figure is, “How the hell did this happen?”

Based on my own research into OneCoin, interactions and perspective over the past four and a half years, I present to you the people who made it possible. [Continue reading…]

Over the course of the DOJ’s investigation into OneCoin, the department issued multiple subpoenas.

Some of those subpoenas pertained to email evidence, the publication of which has provided revealing insight into OneCoin’s operation.

Below are excerpts from emails and other sources of information obtained by the DOJ.

Below, I’ve categorized the DOJ’s evidence into relevant points of interest.

If at any point over the past four and a half years you believed the nonsense coming out of OneCoin HQ, prepare to have your mind blown.

For everybody else, make sure you grab an extra big tub of popcorn before reading on… [Continue reading…]

Before OneCoin collapsed, Konstantin Ignatov is believed to have worked as personal bodyguard for his sister, Ruja Ignatov.

Ruja Ignatov was the public face of OneCoin, while Ignatov lurked in the shadows.

Following Ignatova going into hiding on or around mid 2017, Konstantin was thrust into the spotlight.

Awkward on stage and poorly groomed for the role, over the past two years or so Konstantin has struggled to present himself as a credible CEO.

Central to Konstantin’s image problem was the fact that by the time he took over, OneCoin was clearly a Ponzi past its prime.

Adding to that, Konstantin has also now been arrested and criminally charged in the US. [Continue reading…]

Two weeks ago BehindMLM ran a story regarding Mark Scott attempting to hide evidence from a grand jury.

The grand jury proceedings themselves were believed to pertain to other individuals related to OneCoin.

We can now cross Ruja Ignatova off that list, following the revelation she was indicted back in February. [Continue reading…]
