iCan2 Club provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

Infact as I write this, the iCan2 Club website is nothing more than an affiliate login portal.

The iCan2 Club website domain (“ican2.club”) was registered on June 13th, 2018. All we get from the registration is that whoever owns iCan2 Club has provided a contact address in Norway.

With that in mind, the iCan2 Club Terms and Conditions state they are

governed by, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong.

Note that the Hong Kong corporate address provided in iCan2 Club marketing material is that of a virtual office provider.

This suggests iCan2 Club has no actual physical presence in Hong Kong.

An iCan2 Club “leadership event” is currently scheduled for January 2019, so Thailand is another possibility.

One final bit of information I’ll include is the following from iCan2 Club’s official compensation material;

iCAN2 is the distribution and marketing entity of Agamas International Ltd.

The company was founded in mid 2018, with an operational service and support office in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

There are a few similar named companies but I was unable to find anything further on Agamas International specifically.

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…]

CryptoLux provides no actual information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

As is typical of MLM crypto opportunities, a stock image of some guy is used to represent “Robert Alexander”, who CryptoLux claim is CEO and Founder of the company.

The same name and corporate bio appears on another website, FXTM Capital (Advanced Markets Invest):

FXTM Capital appears to be a collapsed Ponzi scheme touting a 100% monthly ROI.

It should be obvious that whoever is behind FXTM Capital is also behind CryptoLux.

The CryptoLux website domain (“cryptolux.io”) was privately registered on November 28th, 2017.

In an effort to feign legitimacy, CryptoLux provides a UK incorporation link on their website for “CryptoLux LTD”.

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

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…]

As part of their civil TelexFree case, on October 4th and November 5th the SEC deposed Faith Sloan.

Whereas Sloan certainly isn’t the first prominent MLM underbelly figure to be deposed, what makes this deposition unique is that the SEC has made the entire transcript public.

Sloan’s deposition provides revealing insight into the mind of a serial-scammer.

Her responses are simultaneously raw, incriminating and at times frustratingly elusive. But they’re nonetheless real and make for a thoroughly interesting read.

In essence, this is probably as close to an “ask me anything” we who keep track of the MLM underbelly are going to get. [Continue reading…]

What kind of MLM marketer is Faith Sloan?

According to the SEC she’s one that

has participated in at least nine multi-level marketing programs (including TelexFree) in which a promoter recruits other promoters and is compensated according to the number of persons recruited.

Yep. The SEC just publicly slammed Faith Sloan for serial scamming the public through pyramid schemes. [Continue reading…]

The regulatory noose around Ruja Ignatova’s neck has tightened even further, following the arrest of Sebastian Greenwood.

We all seem to have slept on the news, which was reported in a throwaway paragraph by the Bangkok Post on November 5th. [Continue reading…]

If you visit the Premier Income Plan website without an affiliate referral link, you are automatically placed under the position “Rodney Brace, Founder”.

According to the “About US” section of the Premier Income Plan website;

Premier Income Plan is owned and operated by Hyphen Tech Inc.

On its website, Hyphen Tech Inc. claims it’s ‘a product-driven company offering the BEST online communication products in the Industry‘.

The “About Us” section of the Hyphen Tech Inc. website reveals;

Hyphen Tech Inc. is owned and operated by Rodney Brace in Newfoundland, Canada.

This is presumably also where Premier Income Plan is being operated from.

Brace himself first appeared on BehindMLM as admin of All Teamed Up back in 2013.

All Teamed Up was a matrix cycler pyramid scheme, which touted $7000 a month on a $25 monthly spend.

Not really sure how long it lasted but All Teamed Up is long gone.

Crypto Pros doesn’t appear to currently have a functioning website.

“Founding members” are being recruited through private Google Forms and YouTube videos.

Crypto Pros will be launching soon. You have an opportunity to become a Founding Member and be placed in the 2 x 20 matrix prior to the public launch by pre purchasing Crypto Pros ad packages.

Positioning will be by time stamp order with sponsor protacol [sic] maintained.

An email address used to coordinate “Founding Member” payments points to the domain “cryptopros.biz”.

The domain was privately registered on May 5th, 2018, and is currently not configured to point at a website.

Further research reveals Crypto Pros marketing videos hosted by Frank Hester (goes by Robert Hester on Facebook).

In a November 14th video on his “Coinpressions Official” YouTube channel, Hester (right) states:

Hey guys, Frank here. Just a real quick update for our Founding Members in Crypto Pros.

It is Wednesday November the 14th and we’re getting close to the delivery date for the script that I ordered for Crypto Pros.

This all but confirms Hester is the admin behind Crypto Pros.

Frank Hester resides in the US state of Texas, which is also presumably where Crypto Pros is being operated from.

Prior to Crypto Pros Hester ran Coinpressions, a matrix-based pyramid scheme.

Alexa traffic estimates for Coinpressions show a steady decline throughout 2018. This coincides with the launch of “Coinpression2” in January.

Coinpressions launched in late 2017 (~September) and appears to have gone into decline and collapsed within a few months.

Coinpressions2 went the same way with Hester laying the foundation for Crypto Pros’ launch back in August:

Crypto Pros will be Hester’s third company launch in just over a year.

Other MLM companies Hester has promoted throughout 2018 include MyEcon, Team National, Eyeline Trading, Qube Trade (collapsed crypto Ponzi, rebooted as Trio Trader), NetQube, 1 Online Business, 3T Networks, Crazy Ad Profits, CryptoTab and Savings Highway.

Most of the companies above are outright pyramid and/or Ponzi schemes.

Fintegri began with the launch of World Cryptocurrency Investment in 2017.

World Cryptocurrency Investment was founded by Edward Hartley, Daniel Grenon and Touhid Rahman, all former OneCoin Ponzi scammers.

Following founder Hartley’s death in July 2017, World Cryptocurrency Investment was renamed to World Cryptocurrency International.

In April 2018 Grenon and Rahman retreated into the shadows. John Rock then emerged as Worldwide Cryptocurrency International’s new CEO.

Rock was formerly Compliance Officer for the Banners Broker Ponzi scheme.

In September 2018 Rock announced Worldwide Cryptocurrency International was rebranding as Fintegri.

The stated reason for the name-change was banks had effectively blacklisted the company.
