Evolution Travel operate in the travel MLM niche, with an address in Las Vegas, Nevada provided on their website.

Further research however reveals this address actually belongs to Regus and is virtual in nature.

Evolution Travel name David McCovy (right) as founder of the company.

As per McCovy’s Evolution Travel corporate bio;

A lifelong entrepreneur, David has founded a clothing store, a restaurant, the largest independent concert company in Las Vegas, and has also invested in a hollywood film.

Persistence from his mother along with time freedom that his traditional businesses didn’t allow him are the things that got David involved in network marketing.

He quickly ascended to the top of the companies that he was involved with.

His passion to help people and to give the average person a platform to succeed is what drove David to found Evolution Travel.

David McCovy appears to have first found success in 5Linx, having risen to the Senior Vice President rank circa 2014.

After 5Linx McCovy joined the since-collapsed Paycation pyramid scheme.

McCovy’s stint at Paycation was brief. In 2015 he ditched the company and launched Evolution Travel.

Magellan International Alliances operate in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

A corporate address in Ireland is provided on the Magellan International Alliances website, however further research reveals the address actually belongs to Company Formations International.

Company Formations International provide incorporation services in Ireland. Thus it appears Magellan International Alliances has no actual physical operations in the country.

In early August Jef Welch was appointed CEO of Magellan International Alliances.

According to his Facebook profile, Welch is based out of Georgia in the US. This is also presumably where Magellan International Alliances is being operated from.

On the Magellan International Alliances website Welch (right) states;

I have served in the Direct Sales industry for approximately 40 years in management, establishing international teams, and traveling to almost 70 countries, with respect of the many various cultures around the world.

I chose to align my name and reputation with Magellan, due to the integrity and vision expounded by the Strategic Partnership Alliance.

Welch was recently tied to CGI Limited, through a US bank account seemingly being used to launder funds tied to investment in unregistered securities through.

Back in March Ted Nuyten’s BusinessForHome cited Welch as a “top leader” in CGI Limited.

That same article cites Edward Reyes and Esteban Robles as co-founders of CGI Limited.

BehindMLM’s CGI Limited review revealed the company planned to offer crypto gambling services in the US through its BetChip altcoin and Coinsinos casino.

At the time CGI Limited claimed in additional to Coinsinos, that BetChip was accepted “by a number of casinos”.

This is illegal in the US as per the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

That was back in April and since then CGI Limited has renamed itself CGI Global and abandoned Coinsinos.

Magellan International Alliances surfaced a few weeks ago, and appears to be the new vehicle CGI Global’s BetChip altcoin will be marketed through.

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

The Luvv website does feature a marketing video, however the speaker of the video is not identified.

Further research reveals the speaker is Jeff Long, who in another Luvv marketing video credits himself as creator and co-founder of the company. The other Luvv co-founder(s) are not disclosed.

Jeff Long (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar as the founder of AutoXTen, a recruitment scheme launched in 2011.

AutoXTen collapsed a few months after launch, with Long going to launch SMS Dailies. It too didn’t last long.

Long resurfaced in late 2015 with Get Paid Social, a Facebook spam pyramid scheme.

Get Paid Social went into decline throughout 2016, prompting Long to launch 1 Online Business in mid 2017.

1 Online Business combined a cycler Ponzi business model with social media spam. Alexa traffic estimates for the 1 Online Business show a brief hype period followed by a collapse leading into 2018.

Long launched and began promoting Luvv around April, 2018.

A request from Qualpay to keep $6.3 million stolen from MOBE victims has been denied.

The TRO in place against MOBE requires all funds related to the fraudulent business be turned over.

Rather than hand over the $6.3 million it processed for MOBE, Qualpay instead sought an exemption from the TRO.

The processor argued that should be required to return the funds, it faced “imminent insolvency”.

Qualpay used Synovus Bank to hold the funds, who separately also filed for an exemption from the TRO.

Both Qualpay and Synovus’ respective motions were heard on July, with a decision denying both motions made earlier today. [Continue reading…]
