Digital Altitude provide a corporate address in Delaware on their website, however according to Founder Michael Force’s Digital Altitude corporate bio;

Michael resides in California with his wife and two young daughters. They love to travel and spend summers in France.

Further research reveals the Delaware address actually belongs to Harvard Business Services Inc., who provide incorporation services in Delaware.

Thus it appears Digital Altitude exist in Delaware in name only, with the business actually run out of California.

Michael Force (right) first popped up BehindMLM’s radar as an affiliate of Wealth Masters International and Carbon Copy Pro.

In late 2010 or early 2011 it appears Force left or was terminated from Wealth Masters International, over his decision to promote Automatic Millionaire.

In 2013 Wealth Masters International filed a lawsuit against Force and others, claiming the former affiliates “gutted” the business.

He has trained tens of thousands online and has been a 7-figure producer in top tier high ticket sales over the last 15 years and has consulted many of the leading companies in the high ticket arena.

In addition to his MLM history, Force is also heavily involved in non-MLM online marketing.
