Prime University fails to provide ownership or executive details on its website.

In fact Prime University explicitly hides information about itself, having disabled its website domain:

It goes without saying that any MLM company that engages in this practice is likely doing so to cover up fraud of some sort.

To access Prime University, promoters and potential recruits have to visit two subdomains; “hub.prime-university.com” and backoffice.prime-university.com”.

Both subdomains act as log-in gateways for Prime University affiliates.

For reference, Prime University’s “prime-university.com” website domain was privately registerd on May 2nd, 2024.

CoopC, aka CUIR (cooperative universal income replacement), fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

CoopC’s website domain (“coopc.com”), was first registered in August 2013. The private registration was last updated on December 19th, 2022.

Further research reveals David Rosen promoting CoopC on social media:

Rosen, a Canadian resident, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as founder of the PIE 24/7 pyramid scheme.

In early 2018 Rosen launched Cooperative Crowdfunding, a matrix-based gifting scheme. This was followed by 50/50 Crowdfunding in late 2018.

In late 2019 Rosen rebooted 50/50 Crowdfunding as CoopCrowd.

After the first iteration of CoopCrowd collapsed, Rosen launched Coop5050 in late 2020.

Coop5050 began to collapse in late 2021, prompting Rosen to announce a CoopCrowd reboot.

CoopCrowd 2022 launched in early 2022 and collapsed mid-year.

In early 2023, Rosen launched CoopBusiness, a 3×10 matrix based pyramid scheme.

CoopBusiness lasted a few months, prompting Rosen to launch Coop20 in August.

Coop20 collapsed after a few months and was rebooted as CoopInc for 2024.

Today CoopInc’s website is no longer accessible, confirming it collapsed sometime in 2024.

Towards the end of 2024, Rosen began promoting CoopC for 2025.
