X-Binary provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The X-Binary website domain (“x-binary.com”) was privately registered on September 20th, 2016.

A UK incorporation number for “X-Binary LTD” is provided on the X-Binary website. According to UK Companies House records, X-Binary LTD was incorporated September 21st, 2016.

X-Binary was incorporated using a residential address in the Surbiton area of London, UK.

Ellis Dunn is listed as the sole Director of the company, with another residential address in Surbiton provided.

No information on Ellis Dunn exists outside of X-Binary’s incorporation information.

Given a UK incorporation costs about £20 GBP and requires nothing more than a rented mailing address, it’s highly likely that Ellis Dunn doesn’t exist.

Alexa currently estimates that 52% of traffic to the X-Binary website originates out of Japan. Italy is the second largest source of traffic at 10%.

This strongly suggests that whoever is running X-Binary is likely actually based out of Japan.

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…]

Orscorp Industries operate in the forex MLM niche and provide a corporate address in London, UK on their website. This is supported by a a provided UK incorporation certificate.

Further research reveals Orscorp Industries’ UK address is a virtual address provided by Regus. This suggests Orscorp Industries exists in the UK in name only.

The Orscorp Industries website identifies Davas Eric Mongi as founder of the company (November, 2016).

Mongi is credited with joining  Neto Trade as a Trading Manager in 2014 and LMFX as a Finance Manager in 2015.

I wasn’t able to independently verify who Davas Eric Mongi is, nor his purported forex history or whether or not he has any experience in MLM.

Tranont are based out of Utah in the US and operate in the service subscription MLM niche.

The company was founded in 2014 by CEO Lorne Berry.

As per his Tranont corporate bio, Berry (right) ‘spent 10 years working with large real estate subdivisions in Utah prior to founding Tranont‘.

He was an integral part of educating clients in real estate and market investments.

Among his significant former positions, he partnered in restaurants and also spent many years working in international business helping organizations expand into Asian markets.

While working in the education arena, training and working with individuals from many different walks of life, Mr. Berry saw a need in the marketplace.

He found that many individuals he worked with were struggling to get ahead and become financially independent in this complex financial landscape—from this idea was born Tranont.

As far as I can tell, Berry didn’t have an executive MLM history prior to launching Tranont.

Multi Stream Funnel provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

In fact, at the time of publication, the Multi Stream website domain is little more than an email capture page.

The Multi Stream Funnel website domain (“multistreamfunnel.com”) was first registered on December 16th, 2015. The registration was recently updated on December 22nd, 2016.

There is a Ryan Carlson in Utah involved in MLM, but I wasn’t sure it was the same guy until I came across Multi Stream Funnel promotional material on his Facebook wall.

Other MLM opportunities Carlson has recently promoted include TVC Matrix (recruitment) and Speed Feeder (Ponzi cycler).

Why the Multi Stream Funnel website domain is registered with a Nevada address when Carlson is based out of Utah is unclear.
