BitherCash operates in the MLM cryptocurrency niche and appears to be operated out of Dubai.

Heading up BitherCash is Founder and Chairperson, Javed Mujawar.

Prior to launching BitherCash, Mujawar (right) promoted the Global Donation Community and OneCoin Ponzi schemes.

At the time of publication Alexa estimate Pakistan makes up just under half of all BitherCash website traffic (49%).

Although recruitment there seems to have since cooled, initially Mujawar was targeting investors in India:

According to his Facebook profile, Mujawar is originally from Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

Three years.

If you’re wondering how long it might take the SEC to catch up with your multi-million dollar MLM Ponzi scheme… three years.

Eric J. Dalius launched the Saivian Ponzi scheme in 2015.

Likely due to his past indictment and conviction for wire and mail fraud, for the first year of Saivian’s operation Dalius hid in the background.

John Sheehan, who had no actual control over Saivian or management involvement, was presented to investors as the company’s President.

Without explanation, Dalius came out of the shadows to replace Sheehan as Saivian’s President in October 2016.

Despite mostly flopping in the US, Saivian picked up steam in China.

In mid 2017 Chinese authorities cracked down on Saivian and made several arrests.

Dalius and other key Saivian executives escaped arrest as they only traveled to China to promote the company.

After the Chinese crackdown Dalius stayed put in the US.

Having lost its primary source of new investment, in October 2017 Saivian officially collapsed.

Having extracted tens of millions of dollars from gullible Chinese investors, life was good for Dalius.

In an extraordinary showing of his new-found wealth, Dalius used stolen Saivian investor funds to purchase a $16.5 million dollar mansion in Miami earlier this year.

On October 3rd the law finally caught up with Dalius, following the filing of a civil complaint by the SEC. [Continue reading…]

BehindMLM’s initial 7K Metals review was published back in 2016.

Based on 7K Metals’ compensation plan, we expressed strong concern regarding the autoship recruitment nature of the business.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, autoship recruitment in MLM is where you have affiliates signed up for autoship, which qualifies them to earn commissions.

Said commissions are then primarily paid on recruitment of affiliates, who also sign up for autoship. They then recruit affiliates who sign up for autoship and so on and so forth.

To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with autoship in and of itself. When autoship recruitment is the primary source of revenue for an MLM company however, that’s indicative of a pyramid scheme.

A few weeks ago Robert Olson began commenting on our review.

Among other things, Olson claimed;

All of the information you started out with for your expose on 7KMETALS is outdated.

Retail is definitely available. That is the main reason I looked into them more extensively.

Having not looked into 7K Metals for two years, I queued 7K Metals up for a review update.

Today we go over what’s changed at 7K Metals since our initial December 2016 review.

Spoiler Alert: Retail is still not possible within 7K Metals’ compensation plan. [Continue reading…]

TelexFree co-owner Carlos Wanzeler’s brother, Fabio Wanzeler, was a net winner in the $3 billion dollar Ponzi scheme.

Fabio Wanzeler profited some $633,578 off of TelexFree victims. His wife, also an investor, wound up losing $7000.

Not surprisingly, the net-winner status of Fabio Wanzeler and his wife saw them face clawback litigation from the court-appointed Trustee. [Continue reading…]

Following on from a claims meeting held in mid October, a further deadline extension till January 9th has been approved. [Continue reading…]

InterCoin Capital operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

Outside of two Gmail addresses, no corporate details are provided on the InterCoin Capital website.

The company does have an official LinkedIn profile (“INTERCOINCAPITAL”), which cites California as its base of operations.

From what I’ve seen InterCoin Capital is being primarily marketed across south-east Asia. There is no evidence to suggest InterCoin Capital has any physical business operations in the US.

Heading up InterCoin Capital is CEO Roman Arayan (right)

Arayan (right) does appear to be an actual person, as evidenced by multiple photos and videos taken at InterCoin Capital promotional events.

Outside of InterCoin Capital itself though, Arayan doesn’t have an independent online footprint that can be verified.

Along with InterCoin Capital (and Arayan) purportedly being based out California, I’m flagging this as highly suspicious.

Read on for a full review of the InterCoin Capital MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

Success Mastermind provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Success Mastermind website domain (“mysuccessmastermind.com”) was privately registered on September 20th, 2018.

Although Success Mastermind claims to be ‘operated from Auckland, New Zealand by a group of entrepreneurs‘, the provided corporate address is actually that of a clothing store.

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…]

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

The Binom website domain (“binom-corp.com”) was privately registered on March 22nd, 2018.

Despite not existing until around eight months ago, Binom claims it was founded in 2015.

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…]

Splitt operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche. A corporate address in London, UK is provided on the Splitt website.

A quick search however reveals over eighty companies operating from the same address, suggesting it is virtual in nature.

Patel Nguyen is identified as CEO of the company on Splitt’s website.

Nguyen’s Splitt corporate bio identifies him as

a self-made man who has worked his way up from the bottom to become one of the most admired people in the South Asian cryptocurrency world.

After completing his education and getting his degree, Patel Nguyen worked for a series of tech firms, including household names like IBM, Google and Facebook.

Even so, Patel Nguyen never lost sight of his entrepreneurial ambitions, and the new startup known as Splitt is the end result of those lofty dreams.

Whether Nguyen, as represented on the Splitt website, actually exists is unclear.

The most obvious sign something is up is Nguyen has no online footprint. The only evidence he exists is a black and white photo of Nugyen on Splitt’s website, that doesn’t appear anywhere else online.

You’re going to tell me “one of the most admired people in the South Asian cryptocurrency world” and someone who purportedly worked at Google, IBM and Facebook, has absolutely no online footprint whatsoever?

Yeah, not buying it. Nice try with the cropped black and white corporate photos though.

Further pulling Splitt’s corporate makeup into question is its “Splitt Corp Limited” UK incorporation.

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…]
