Ascendra Review: AIM Global scammers launch own pyramid
Ascendra operates in the insurance MLM niche.
Finding out who runs Ascendra on its website requires a visit to the FAQ section;
Who is the founder of Ascendra?
Ascendra was founded by CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Jurgen Gonzales, CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) Joseph Lim, COO (Chief Operating Officer) Miko Imson, CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Francesca Fugen and our BXPDO (Brand Experience And Product Development Officer) Kristine Olatic.
This information could definitely be better presented.
Both Ascendra CEO Jurgen Gonzales and CSO Joseph Lim are tied to the AIM Global pyramid scheme.
Jurgen was AIM Global’s VP for Business Development. Lim was an AIM Global “Hall of Fame” promoter.
Jurgen announced his AIM Global departure on May 28th, 2025:
Joseph Lim announced his departure a day later on May 29th:
AIM Global, aka Alliance in Motion Global, is a Philippines pyramid scheme run by Eduardo Cabantog (right).
Regulatory enforcement actions have been taken against AIM Global in Vanuatu, Pakistan and Uganda.
Despite being around since 2009, Philippine authorities have so far failed to take action.
Ascendra’s website domain (“ascendrabusiness.com”), was privately registered on June 26th, 2025.
Note at time of publication there appears to be something wrong with Ascendra’s website homepage. It currently redirects to “take.app”, which appears to be a service provider.
Both Ascendra and its executives are based out of the Philippines.
Read on for a full review of Ascendra’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
Egrya Review: Trading ruse “click a button” Ponzi
Egrya fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Egrya’s website domain (“egryafinancialtechnology.com”), was privately registered on February 3rd, 2025.
Egrya’s iPhone app is hosted on the domain “fenzh1sj.com”, private registration last updated on April 23rd, 2024.
If we look into the CSS code for Egrya’s iPhone app domain, we find Chinese:
This suggests whoever is running Egrya has ties to China.
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…]
Nvisionu Review v2: IM Academy with supplements & travel
BehindMLM reviewed Nvisionu back in August 2022. Decent retail focus, overpriced e-learning courses, white labeled supplements of unknown origin – Nvisionu was a bit of a mixed bag.
Back in March a BehindMLM reader claimed the review was out of date. As such, today we’re revisiting Nvisionu for a review update. [Continue reading…]

YoToo Review: Fake orders “click a button” app Ponzi
YoToo fails to provide verfiable ownership or executive information on its website.
YoToo’s website domain (“yotooz.com”), was first registered in 2020. The private registration was last updated on August 27th, 2025.
While YoToo does provide a list of executive on its website, none of them appear to actually exist. Furthermore YoToo’s executives appear to be represented by AI-generated avatars:
In its website footer YoToo claims it was “founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Colorado, USA.” No supporting evidence is provided.
In the same website footer we also find Chinese:
This suggests, as opposed to the US, whoever is running YoToo has ties to China.
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…]
Voidara Review: Dennis Nowak’s AI Agent pyramid scheme
Voidara fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Voidara’s website domain (“voidara.ai”), was privately registered on April 14th, 2025.
Voidara popped up on BehindMLM in late June 2025, courtesy of extensive preliminary research from reader Melanie;
ATTENTION: German serial scammer Dennis Nowak has started a new project! Or a new scam?
While there’s no mention of him on Voidara’s website, we find Dennis Nowak hosting official Voidara marketing webinars on Voidara’s official YouTube channel:
Nowak, who on his LinkedIn profile claims to be based out of Switzerland, appeared on BehindMLM’s radar in mid 2019.
At the time Nowak was a suspect in a Swiss investigation into MyCryptoWorld, Infinity Economics and We Go Crypto.
MyCryptoWorld was an MLM shitcoin pump and dump scheme. Infinity Economics and We Go Crypto were non-MLM crypto fraud schemes.
Unfortunately the outcome of the Swiss investigation is unclear.
After his stint as a crypto bro, Nowak fell back on his position in LavyLites.
LavyLites is a Hungarian MLM company that appears to have been in decline for most of 2020.
Circa mid 2016 BusinessForHome clocked Nowak’s LavyLites income at $80,000 a month.
Nowak’s LavyLites income collapsed toward the end of 2020. In October 2020, Nowak published an email begging Lavylites pay him an alleged one million euros in unpaid commissions.
Nowak threatened legal action but as far as I know nothing came of it.
Nowak went on to launch Elixoo in early 2021.
Elixoo, since collapsed, was a pay-to-play MLM pyramid scheme built around bizarre meteorite powder supplements.
In late 2023 Nowak launched Flyback Solutions, an MLM crypto shitcoin pump and dump Ponzi scheme.
Flyback Solutions collapsed in January 2025, with Voidara launching a few months later.
Another name we can attach to Voidara is Renz Eduard Deelstra (aka Renze Deelstra):
As above, Deelstra is part of Voidara’s leadership as a “top leader & trainer”.
Deelstra is from the Netherlands. He first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as a net-winner in the notorious Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme.
After Zeek Rewards Deelstra continued to defraud consumers through the Crowd1 Ponzi scheme.
Deelstra was terminated from Crowd1 in 2021 and went on to launch NewChoyce.
NewChoyce, another MLM crypto Ponzi, collapsed after a few months and was rebooted as GreenChoyce.
By 2022 GreenChoyce had been rebooted as “Eco and GreenChoyce“.
Eco and GreenChoyce has long-since collapsed. Today Eco and GreenChoyce’s former website domain redirects to “GreenChoyce International”. This appears to be another failed reboot attempt.
One legal standard Voidara technically adheres to is including an “imprint” page on its website. This is required for Germany and several German-speaking countries in Europe.
Voidara’s “imprint” website page reveals the company operates through ChainPay Solutions EOOD, a shell company purportedly registered in Bulgaria.
While Voidara technically adheres to Germany’s Telemedia Act, Nowak still hides ownership of Voidara by hiding behind a Bulgarian shell company. This would appear to go against the spirit of the Telemedia Act.
Rather than Switzerland, Germany or Bulgaria, it appears Dennis Nowak is now based out of Dubai:
This would mean Voidara is being operated from Dubai.
Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.
BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.
If you want to know how this specifically applies to Voidara, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
