Pyur Life began as Pyur Global. Launched in late 2016, Pyur Global marketed nutritional supplements and an iHeart device.

Get an insight of your fitness levels with regular monitoring of the key factors that are strong indicators of your overall health.

Pyur Global flopped and was on life support, until founder Bob Bremner decided to merge it with the Noble 8 Revolution cycler Ponzi.

Pyur Global’s Ponzi merger took place in mid March. As part of the merger, Pyur Global was renamed to Pyur Life.

Noble 8 Revolution was a cycler Ponzi that relied heavily on religious affinity fraud.

Noble 8 Revolution strung mostly elderly investors along on the promise of commissions for about a year.

The company only managed to pay one month of commissions for February 2019. Monthly fees collected by Noble 8 Revolution are believed to have primarily benefited owners Mark Campese and Blaine Williams.

In exchange for convincing Noble 8 Revolution investors to sign up, Campese and Williams were given cushy Pyur Life “Executive Founder” positions.

Guardian Capital AG (aka GCG Asia) provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Guardian Capital AG website domain (“guardiancapitalag.asia”) was registered on December 22nd, 2018.

Guardian Capital AG is listed as the owner, through an incomplete address in Switzerland.

Further research reveals Guardian Capital AG affiliates naming Darren Yaw as co-founder of the company.

On Facebook Yaw goes by Darren Yaw Foo Hoe. His profile states he lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Thus it appears Guardian Capital AG is a Malaysian company. Any links to Switzerland are assumed to be shell incorporations.

To that end Switzerland’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority has issued a warning that Guardian Capital AG is not a registered corporation.

Yaw appears to be heavily involved in cryptocurrency. As per the screenshot above, he is co-founder of the World Crypto Asset Blockchain Alliance (WCBA).

As per their website, WCBA hosts various cryptocurrency related seminars.

The WCBA website is unranked by Alexa, suggesting that as a business it’s a flop.

Curiously, despite Darren Yaw co-founding both companies, WCBA is pretending to have nothing to do with Guardian Capital AG.

Visitors to the WCBA website are presented with the following popup:

The message suggests WCBA was a client of Guardian Capital AG but is no longer.

Whether they are or they aren’t though doesn’t change the fact Darren Yaw is running both companies.

As far as I can tell, GCG Asia is Darren Yaw’s first MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
