There is no information on the Crypto Orbis website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Crypto Orbis website domain (“cryptoorbis.com”) was privately registered on January 12th, 2017.

If you visit the Crypto Orbis website without a referral link, the website states you were “invited by Crypto Orbis”. This is the Crypto Orbis admin account.

Attempting to sign up under this account reveals the name “Rose Glenny” as the referring Crypto Orbis affiliate.

This is a static connection to the Crypto Orbis admin account and does not change upon refresh.

Rose Glenny (right) is based out of Maryland in the US. Other MLM opportunities advertised by Glenny include Instant Revshare (adcredit Ponzi scheme), CryptoBitX (cash gifting) and Reverse Commissions (cash gifting).

Glenny is also part of the group Massive Action Teambuild Community, through which people are funneled into various MLM underbelly schemes.

Of note is the use of the Passive Crypto Terms and Conditions on the Crypto Orbis website:

Passive Crypto is bitcoin cash gifting scheme launched last month. Whether or not Rose Glenny is also running Passive Crypto is unclear.

There is no information on the Referers Earn Bitcoin website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Referers Earn Bitcoin website domain (“referersearnbtcoin.biz”) was registered on January 12th, 2017. Robert Mcatamney is listed as the owner, with an address in Queensland, Australia also provided.

Mcatamney (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the admin of the One Time Infinity Ponzi scheme in 2015.

Since then he’s launched a number of scams, including Cash Money Bucket, 3to600, VIP Promoters Club, Simple Simon’s System and 3 Phases Biz in the last year alone.

3 Phases Biz was launched in November of 2016 and promised affiliates a $3000 ROI on an $8.50 investment.

Alexa traffic estimates suggest the scheme never took off, likely prompting Mcatamney to launch Referers Earn Bitcoin.

There is no information on the Matrix King website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Matrix King website domain (“matrix-king.com”) was registered on December 26th, 2016. Mohammad Monsuri of Netafraz Hosting is listed as the owner with an incomplete address in Esfahan, Iran also provided.

Whether Mansuri is running Matrix King or whether he’s an employee of the company hosting the Matrix King website is unclear.

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…]

With more and more MMM Nigeria affiliates realizing they’re not going to get paid each day, emotions are running high.

Now one particular investor has dropped an ultimatum: “Give me back my money within two weeks or else”. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Digital Portal Club website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Digital Portal website domain (“digitalportal.club”) was privately registered on December 6th, 2016.

Alexa currently estimates that 73% of traffic to the Digital Portal Club website originates out of Nigeria. This strongly suggests that whoever is running Digital Portal Club is also based out of Nigeria.

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…]

Last month My Advertising Pays filed a lawsuit against payment processor VX Gateway.

There is no information on the Crypto Mafia website identifying who owns or runs the business.

The Crypto Mafia website domain (“cryptomafia.co”) was privately registered on December 30th, 2016.

The official Crypto Mafia Facebook page lists four admins; Kayla Marie Odenborg, George Prince, Jessie Hachey and Eryn Hubbard.

Going by various posts on these four admin’s personal pages, Crypto Mafia appears to be attached to something called “Millionaire Mafia”.

Ben Oberg (right) credits himself as a “business owner” of Millionaire Mafia.

The gist of Millionaire Mafia appears to be spamming Instagram with photos that contain marketing in their description.

Ben Oberg is based out of Washington in the US. In addition to launching Crypto Mafia, Oberg is also a Digital Altitude affiliate.

On his personal website, Oberg describes Crypto Mafia as “the uneducated way of obtaining bitcoin”.

When it relaunched a day early a week ago, the narrative pushed was that things would go back to the way they were before the December collapse.

Those hopes were dashed soon after, following an announcement that affiliates with large sums invested would be denied withdrawals.

The situation has continued to deteriorate throughout the week, with MMM Nigeria admins desperately trying to encourage new investment. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Swiss Mine website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Swiss Mine website domain (“swissmine.club”) was privately registered on December 5th, 2016.

The Swiss Mine compensation plan states that Swiss Mine is ‘registered in Singapore with its Branch office in Switzerland‘. Other than Singapore UEN registration number 201635218K, no further information is provided.

Further research reveals the provided UEN corresponds with Ducatus Swiss PTE LTD. Ducatus Swiss was incorporated in Singapore on December 30th, 2016.

The address used to incorporate Ducatus Swiss belongs to Luther Services.

We provide fast and efficient service for the formation and registration of a company or other legal entity in Singapore.

As such it appears Ducatus Swiss PTE LTD exists in Singapore in name only.

Corporate filings by Ducatus Swiss reveals Knut Unger and Ronny Andreas Tome as named Directors of the company.

Tome is listed as the sole shareholder of Ducatus Swiss. Knut Unger works for Luther Services.

According to the Ducatus Swiss incorporation documents, Tome is based out of Bali, Indonesia. This is likely where Swiss Mine is actually being run out of.

Tome (right) doesn’t have an MLM history but does appear to have experience with cryptocurrency, specifically bitcoin.

In 2014 Tome sold an Indonesian villa to an anonymous buyer in Texas for $600,000 worth of bitcoin, the largest recorded bitcoin transaction at the time.

Tome is also co-owner of delMango Villa Estate hotel in Bali.

Why Ronny Tome does not acknowledge ownership of Swiss Mine on the company website is unclear. [Continue reading…]
