SuperOne provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The SuperOne website domain (“super.one”) was first registered on July 24th, 2017.

The domain registration details were recently updated on March 3rd, 2018, suggesting this is when the current owner(s) took possession of it.

A marketing video on the SuperOne website features a narrator with a thick European accent.

A lead I received via email links three Norwegians to SuperOne; Fredrik Skjoldt, Stian Alexander Karlsen (both of whom were top Zeek Rewards Ponzi net-winners) and Andreas Christensen.

The guy building the system is Andreas Christensen, he have been scaming people with Mowjow in many years.

He is doing a scam ICO in Mowjow as welll.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to independently verify this information.

Typically I don’t publish information I can’t personally verify. The European narrator for SuperOne’s marketing video however lends weight to the information.

Until we receive confirmation regarding SuperOne’s management team, treat the above as unverified.

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…]

Evidently OneCoin investment in Sweden has resulted in a few taxation issues popping up.

While the level of investment into OneCoin from Sweden as a whole isn’t known, it’s significant enough for the Swedish Taxation Authority to add a OneCoin query to its cryptocurrency taxation FAQ.

The fourth question on the Swedish Tax Authority’s FAQ list asks, “Does OneCoin count as a cryptocurrency?”

The answer to which is “no”. The Swedish Tax Authority sees OneCoin as “basically a pyramid game”. [Continue reading…]

One of the core problems a Ponzi points MLM cryptocurrency faces is getting their altcoin listed on a public exchange.

In addition to hitching B2G to Dragon Mining Tech and several “scam within a scam” companies (Bitcoin Trading World, Crypto Mining Space, Palilula Mining etc.), Bitcoiin have been heavily touting public exchange adoption over the past month.

If the scammers behind Bitcoiin and Dragon Mining Tech are to be believed, B2G is set to debut on two public exchanges by the end of the week.

Whatever strings Bitcoiin are pulling to make the listing happen though don’t seem to be enough, with the company also launching an astroturf campaign. [Continue reading…]

EnerSource International launched in 2016 and operate in the health and nutrition MLM niche.

The company is based out of Oklahoma and is run by Founder and CEO, Linden Wood.

As per Wood’s EnerSource International corporate bio;

A defining ‘A-Ha’ moment in Linden Wood’s life occurred when Linden attended a network marketing event, hosted by the company Excel, at age 27.

This would prove to be a defining moment resulting in his astronomical success in the network marketing industry.

Over the next three years, with no official network marketing or public speaking training and without a mentor, Linden immersed himself in books and audios authored by highly successful network marketers and self-help experts, such as Tony Robbins.

Through his dedication, he learned the principles which govern success.

He quickly discovered that it wasn’t his own success that mattered most, but the success of the people who came into his business.

Through this understanding, Linden achieved the highest levels of success Excel had ever seen.

With his unrelenting persistence, Linden, along with his leadership team, built this team, to over 100,000 representatives in only three years.

In 1997, this achievement earned Linden an income of over $500,000 a month.

Wood eventually left Excel to start his own MLM company, WorldConnect.

WorldConnect succeeded at growing to 60,000 representatives and reaching annual sales revenues of $50M a year by his fourth year in business.

After WorldConnect Wood left the MLM industry and pursued other business interests (fitness and real estate).

In 2001, Linden’s company EnerGreens Inc produced the cutting-edge nutritional products, EnerGreens Essentials.

Over the next 7 years this company developed over 40 different nutritional products.

Over the past 15 years, millions of dollars of these products have been sold successfully within fitness franchise systems.

Linden is bringing this exceptional product line to the network marketing industry via EnerSource.

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

Trahdex provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

The Trahdex website domain (“trahdex.co”) was privately registered on December 11th, 2017.

The original Trahdex compensation plan hosted on the company website is in Spanish, suggesting that whoever is running the company is at least familiar with the language.

Alexa traffic estimates reveal Trahdex is primarily being promoted in Nigeria (50% of traffic) and the Netherlands (32%).

B-Epic went into prelaunch in late 2016 and was reviewed here on BehindMLM on October 23rd.

At the time of pre-launch B-Epic was headed up by CEO and President, Eric Caprarese.

Update 6th April 2022 – Eric Caprarese still cites himself as CEO and President of B-Epic on his LinkedIn profile.

Today however there is no mention of Caprarese on B-Epic’s website. Instead Dan Putnam is credited as B-Epic’s founder and CEO.

Putnam (right) appears to now also be crediting his parents, Lynn and Richard Putnam, as part of B-Epic’s co-founders. Putnam’s parents hold the positions COO and CFO at B-Epic respectively.

In June 2020 the SEC sued Dan Putnam for securities fraud. The regulator alleged Putnam and his partners defrauded consumers out of $12 million through various scams.

Specific Ponzi schemes linked to Putnam (right) by the SEC include Modern Money Team, Eyeline Trading and its WealthBoss reboot.

In July 2020 Putnam’s assets were frozen. The SEC’s case against him is still playing out.

The impact Putnam’s asset freeze has on B-Epic’s day-to-day operations is unclear. /end update

On the business model side of things B-Epic was pretty similar to Caprarese’s last gig, Brain Abundance.

One disappointing aspect of Brain Abundance to carry over was a lack of retail focus.

Recently a reader wrote in and asked us to take a second look at the company.

Seeing as a year and a half has passed and our original review was based on their prelaunch, today we’re revisiting B-Epic for an updated review. [Continue reading…]

Palilula Mining is one of Dragon Mining Tech’s “dragon programs”.

Dragon Mining Tech is tied to the collapsed Bitcoiin pump and dump altcoin.

After allegedly raising $75 million dollars for their B2G ICO, Bitcoiin’s anonymous owners abandoned the project and did a runner.

Dragon Mining Tech is what’s left and, through spin-off companies like Start Options, Bitcoin Trading World, Crypto Mining Space and Palilula Mining, are trying to milk investors out of even more money.

Dragon Mining Tech is believed to have strong ties to China however, like Bitcoiin, who owns and/or runs the company is not disclosed.

Forcount provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

The Forcount website domain (“forcount.com”) was privately registered on July 7th, 2017.

Last month a BehindMLM reader suggested Forcount had ties to the Cointherum Ponzi scheme.

Francis Silva was named as owner of both companies, which seems to be confirmed in Forcount marketing;

So the story goes, Silva launched Forcount after Cointherum collapsed.

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…]

In the bowels of Facebook another unregistered securities ICO offering is being prepared for launch.

Today we take a look at the upcoming launch of Dapps Global and serial MLM underbelly scammers promoting it. [Continue reading…]

Despite US regulators cracking down on MLM cryptocurrency mining opportunities recently, Nui affiliates maintain their unregistered securities offering is legal.

This assertion is not based on US securities law or enforcement of it, but rather Nui’s legal representation in the US. [Continue reading…]
