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.

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…]

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.

Fortune Maker operate in the advertising MLM niche.

On its website Fortune Maker provides an incomplete address in the US state of Wisconsin.

On the executive side of things Fortune Maker name Mark Chin as Founder and Chuck Dhuey as President.

Prior to founding Fortune Marker, Mark Chin was promoting the failed Divvee opportunity.

Chuck Dhuey (right) first appeared on BehindMLM in connection with My BitByBit Empire.

My BitByBit Empire appeared to be an email list builder with roots in the 4 Corners Alliance Group pyramid scheme.

Dhuey originally launched FortuneMaker last year.

After initially flopping, interest in FortuneMaker picked up last month, primarily from the UK, US and Portugal.

Prior to founding EpicMD, Matt was a co-founder at Alterra Capital Group and Evergift, he served as Founder & CEO of RestoreHealth and serves on the Board of Directors at ServRX.
