Crowdfunding International claims funds seized by Dutch authorities
Crowdfunding International’s business model is simple:
You buy in for 200 EUR and then, through a series of matrix cycler tiers, steal money from affiliates who buy in after you.
Naturally when recruitment of new affiliates slows down, the scheme collapses.
Rather than simply acknowledge that happened, Crowdfunding International published a “letter from our lawyer” on August 30th.
In the letter, the attorney Johan Vissers claims the Dutch government has seized an undisclosed amount of funds. [Continue reading…]
Cellis Review: Valentus “healthy coffee” spinoff?
Cellis operate in the nutritional supplement MLM niche and are based out of Texas in the US.
The company is headed up by Cellis’ Founder and CEO, Korey Johnson.
It’s worth noting that Johnson (right) resides in North Carolina, which is presumably where Cellis is actually operated from.
As per Johnson’s Cellis corporate bio, he has ‘29 years in industry with high level field leadership experience‘ and has been a ‘6-figure earner in multiple companies‘.
Two MLM companies I was able to tie Korey too were Waiora (circa 2010) and more recently, Valentus (2017).
Johnson appears to have left Valentus in late 2017 or early 2018, however I wasn’t able to ascertain why.

Genesis Mining confirms no partnership with Now Mining
Now Mining launched late last year and billed itself as the “official marketing arm of Genesis Mining”.
Despite the claim, Now Mining went on to collapse shortly after launch.
Headed up by Luis Ortega, recently Now Mining has been relaunched as VIP Mining.
There’s no mention of a Genesis Mining partnership in the latest incarnation, however that didn’t stop the company from reaching out to me to confirm no partnership with Ortega or VIP mining. [Continue reading…]
NuYugen Review: CBD and cannabinoid herbal blends
The NuYugen website contains no information about who owns or runs the company.
In fact, as I write this NuYugen are expecting people to sign up without disclosing any information about what it is they’re signing up to.
Further research reveals NuYugen marketing material identifying Richard Sharp as CEO of the company.
Why executive information, along with at least basic product info, is not provided on the NuYugen website is unclear.
As far as I can tell, Richard Sharp (right) has no prior MLM executive experience.
Sharp’s NuYugen corporate bio identifies him as editor of “The Hemp News” website and an ‘authority on hemp-derived CBD‘.
Note that as at the time of publication, The Hemp News website appears to be defunct.

Despite being served notice of a BitConnect class-action in which he’s a named defendant, Trevon James has failed to file a response.

He was then served again after a third amended complaint was filed.
As of the date of this filing, Defendant JAMES has not filed any paper in response to the Complaint or any of its subsequent amendments.
On August 23rd the class plaintiffs filed a motion requesting an entry of default be recorded. [Continue reading…]
Elite Stream TV Review: Access to pirated streams for $30 a month
Elite Stream TV provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The Elite Stream TV website domain (“elitestreamtv.com”) was registered on August 12th, 2018. Caujuan Mayo is listed as the owner, through an address in San Diego, California.
A marketing video on the Elite Stream TV website bears Caujuan Mayo’s name. Videos uploaded to the YouTube channel reveal Mayo (right) also promotes Royaltie and Finish Line Network.
Going further back, over the past few years Mayo has promoted the Trade Coin Club Ponzi scheme, Tecademics, Financial Education Services and Traffic Authority.

We’re a bit late to this one… but back in July United Games Marketing announced it had been fully acquired by Investview.
The amount Investview paid for United Games Marketing was not disclosed.
The acquisition of UGM, among other things, will give Investview access to “19,000 active paying customers” and a “1.5 million person database”. [Continue reading…]
Emane Trade Review: Brazilian bitcoin 40% a month Ponzi scheme
Emane Trade provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The Emane Trade website domain (“emanetrade.com”) was privately registered on January 31st, 2018.
Further research reveals Emane Trade citing Carlos Barbosa as CEO and President of the company on their official Facebook profile.
Emane Trade and Barbosa (right) appear to be based out of Brazil, with Brazilians making up the company’s primary marketing demographic.
At the time of publication Alexa estimate 100% of traffic to the Emane Trade website as originates out of Brazil.
Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to put together an MLM history on Barbosa.
Read on for a full review of the Emane Trade MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
