There’s no direct information on the JetStream Direct website indicating who owns or runs the business.

A press-release uploaded to the site on the 13th of April lists “Mark DeLanney, Sr.” as a contact for JetStream Direct, with the release itself quoting him:

JetStream Direct is the leader in premier streaming media TV boxes,” says Mark DeLanney, Sr.

“We offer the JetStream TV Box and the Android TV Box, effectively allowing for streaming on all types of devices. Our new distributor and reseller program allows people to start their own business in this highly popular entertainment field that consumers are excited about.”

The use of possesive suggests DeLanney Sr. is the owner of JetStream Direct. Further supporting this are a number of YouTube videos that feature on the JetStream Direct website, hosted on an account bearing DeLanney Sr.’s name.

Of note is that up until recently DeLanney Sr. credited himself as an “Independent Business Owner at JetStream Direct” on his LinkedIn profile:

This information has since been removed, with DeLanney Sr. now crediting himself as CEO of xmWired TV, LLC (as of June 2015).

After saturating myself in the “streaming media”​ marketplace and learning all there is to know with this new technology, I have developed the absolute best streaming device available.

With help from the manufacturer, I have made the necessary upgrades and adjustments that makes this product not only the “best in it’s (sic) class”​, but also consumer friendly.

I was unable to find any further information on xmWired TV, with any relationship between the company and JetStream TV remaining unclear.

Plutus Society was founded in June 2015 and claim to be based out of Quezon City in the Philippines.

Cited as founder of the company on the Plutus Society website is Rolan Garcia.

Garcia (right) appears fond of the Plutus brand, having previously launched Plutus Marketing in late 2014.

The mission is so simple to alleviate poverty by empowering people with dynamic and stable opportunity through entrepreneurship.

On the Plutus Marketing website, Garcia credits himself as President and Medical Director of the company.

The original concept of Plutus, as per a marketing video dated September 2014, appears to have been the offering of discounts and medical consultations (billed as “Plutus Wellness”), integrated into an MLM business opportunity.

That opportunity saw affiliates pay 1500 PHP ($33 USD) and get paid to recruit others who did the same:

Before Plutus Marketing, Garcia launched “The Exodus Society”. The company’s website is no longer offline, but Exodus Society Marketing material suggests it too was a recruitment scheme:

Alexa traffic estimates to the Plutus Marketing website suggest the opportunity never really took off, which has likely prompted the launch of Plutus Society.

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

The Summer Fun Matrix website domain (“summerfunmatrix.com”) was registered on the 1st of June 2015, with “Optimus Dale” listed as the domain owner. An address in the US state of Arkansas is also provided.

Optimus Dale is the pseudonym of Sherm Mason (right), admin of Magnetic Builder (2012) and more recently Paradise Payments and Magnetic Gratitude.

Magnetic Gratitude was launched back in April, with affiliates purchasing $10 matrix positions on the promise of an advertised $590,720 ROI.

At the time of publication Magnetic Gratitude appears to be well into decline, which has likely prompted the launch of Summer Fun Matrix.

Back when we first reviewed Global Coin Reserve, it was little more than a continuation of Robert Corriveau’s previous matrix-based recruitment schemes.

That was back in September 2014. What with Corriveau ousted earlier this year, rumblings of the GCR coin launching and a name change to Global Currency Reserve, we figured it was time to revisit the GCR opportunity. [Continue reading…]
