Swiss Gold Global Review: Silver, gold & “premium education”
Swiss Gold Global operate in the precious metals MLM niche and are based out of Zurich, Switzerland.
The company also provides a “precious metal management” address in Dubai on their website.
Heading up Swiss Gold Global is Founder and CEO, Bill Rowell.
Bill Rowell is an Australian entrepreneur with a history of business success and a passion to expand the lives of others.
In 2008 he founded Joseph Wealth Systems a Swiss Company with the objective of putting Gold the money of Kings into the hands of Ordinary People.
Today the Company is called Royal Golden Enterprise GmbH and New Golden Life DMCC trading as Swiss Gold Global and continuing to provide global Wealth Solutions for all people.
Rowell (right) was on Joseph Wealth Systems’ Board of Directors, along with Philip Judge (President), Simon Heapes and Mike Turton (CEO).
A 2009 article from MLM The Whole Truth quotes Phillip Judge, claiming:
JWS’s [sic] is not concerned with waging, fighting and winning a monetary, legal or moral crusade with the US or any other government, but rather it maintains the clear mandate to put superior, non-confiscateable, gold ownership back into the hands of ordinary people.
Whether this was a reflection of compliance issues between government regulators and Joseph Wealth Systems or not is unclear.
In any event, Joseph Wealth Systems went on to become Younique Wealth in 2009. Rowell served as the company’s European Operations Mangaer.
Rowell seems to have gone off and done his own thing with Swiss Gold Global at some point.

The official Paid Instantly Club Facebook group is adminned by a Facebook account bearing the name “Michael Morris”.
The Michael Morris Facebook account was only created on July 7th and is likely to be fake.
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…]

The GulfRevShare website domain (“gulfrevshare.com”) was registered on January 3rd 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.
