Sosana Review: Crypto manipulation securities fraud
Sosana operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.
Four co-founders, represented by AI-generated avatars, are named on Sosana’s website:
- Dave Track – Chief Shiny Object Officer
- Mark Ross – Chief FOMO Officer
- Brian Lyles – Senior Consultant of Token Regret
- Andrew Belofsky – Chief Illegal Officer
- Reggie Sullivan – Director of Never-Ending Hope
Dave Track, aka David Track, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as founder and President of PrepayCPA in 2011.
Circa 2019 Track was Senior Vice President of Tryp, an MLM pyramid scheme with an illegal unregistered stock offering.
Track reinvented himself as a crypto bro in 2020. Crypto fraud inevitably followed; Bitlocity in 2020 and Tectum in 2022.
Mark Ross appears to be a random crypto bro who followed David Track over from Tectum:
Brian Lyles was appointed Sales Director for North America for Cerule in 2020.
Apparently that didn’t work out and sometime after Lyles turned to crypto fraud. A month ago Lyles was promoting Cryptex, an MLM crypto Ponzi scheme:
Andrew Belofsky and Reggie Sullivan appear to keep a low-profile, I wasn’t able to find anything definitive.
Promoters of Sosana to note are Muhammad Zidan (aka Mack Zidan, Mack Mills), Tracy Le Mont Silver (aka T. Lemont Silver, “The Professor”), Mark Hamlin and Peter Ohanyan.
Muhammad Zidan is a serial promoter of fraudulent MLM schemes, dating back to at least 2012 with Empower Network.
Mills continues to defraud consumers through various schemes, primarily through AI-generated slop content.
Tracy Le Mont Silver is another long-time fraudster. Silver made a name for himself as a top promoter of the Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme.
Instead of manning up when he was caught and facing a $2.3 million clawback, LeMont uprooted his then young family and fled to the Dominican Republic.
For the past thirteen years Silver has continued to defraud consumers through various fraudulent schemes. BehindMLM last came across Silver about a year ago with Billion Dollar Mind.
In his capacity as a promoter of the Forsage series of MLM crypto Ponzi schemes, the SEC charged Mark Hamlin with securities fraud in 2022.
Hamlin settled the SEC’s charges in August 2022. As part of Hamlin’s Forsage settlement, he was prohibited from committing further violations of federal securities laws.
Over on YouTube Hamlin has continued to promote fraudulent MLM schemes:
E1ULife is an MLM gifting cycler. BizNet College is an MLM pyramid scheme.
Peter Ohanyan is… you guessed it, another serial fraudster.
BehindMLM last came across Ohanyan a few months ago as a Corporate Leader at Booster.
Sosana’s operates from the website domain “sosana.io”, privately registered on November 26th, 2024.
Sosana’s website footer suggests Sosana is being operated through Nosey Pepper Inc., a purported Wyoming shell company.
Finally we’re noting that Sosana originally launched around April 2025.
Sosana’s original launch flopped, prompting it’s co-founder to reboot with an MLM compensation plan earlier this week.
Read on for a full review of Sosana’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

iGenius’ CoinPro now “powered by 3Commas”
iGenius’ unregistered CoinPro investment scheme has been quietly switched over to 3Commas.
BehindMLM first came across CoinPro a year ago. The then newly launched unregistered investment scheme was “powered by CoinRule”.
As of July 2025 CoinRule still holds itself out as a UK-based “smart trading bot for cryptocurrency platforms”. This ties into iGenius’ promoters pitching consumers on passive returns through CoinRule and associated schemes CoinPro and CForce.
As per an “iGenius Overview” Youtube video, uploaded by iGenius promoter Anthony Napolitano on July 26th, CoinPro is now “powered by 3Commas”:
The official reason for switching to 3Commas is iGenius “outgrew CoinRule”. 3Commas appears to have been brought on either earlier this month or late last month.
So who is 3Commas? [Continue reading…]
Zater Capital Review: Ron Cartey’s AI trading bot Ponzi
Zater Capital fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Zater Capital’s website domain (“zatercapital.com”), was first registered in 2017. The private registration was last updated on July 26th, 2025.
Note that Zater Capital’s website went live in or around November 2024. The company as represented on Zater Capital’s website didn’t exist before this.
Zater Capital’s official marketing cites Ronald Cartey as CEO:
Cartey, aka Ron Cartey, is a serial fraudster last known to be based out of Pattaya, Thailand.
Fraudulent MLM crypto schemes Cartey is associated with and/or promoted include YoCoin (2016), 3T Networks (2018), Elef World (2022) MayoTrade (2022) and 9xProfits (2023).
Note that list isn’t definitive, it’s only what has been tracked on BehindMLM.
Update 29th July 2025 – I originally thought this was another hoax but the following was posted to Jenna Zwagil’s official FaceBook page and YouTube channel.
About a week ago Ron Cartey cashed out and split. This left Jenna Zwagil in charge as Zater Capital’s new CEO:
Zwagil was previously Zater Capital’s “Strategic Growth Advisor” and “Corporate Development” (?):
Zwagil is/was the wife of Josh Zwagil, who together were once known as the co-owners of My Daily Choice.
More recently, the Zwagil’s have gone on a securities and commodities fraud arc. This has seen Josh in particular push various several trading schemes.
I’m noting Josh Zwagil cites himself as a “single father” on social media. Jenna Zwagil also cites herself as “single”.
Not sure when that happened but it appears to be a recent development. What impact this has on the Zwagil’s various business activities is unclear.
In addition to AkashX, which is part of My Daily Choice and run by the Zwagils (note Jenna has been wiped from MDC’s website), Josh has also been tied to Eaconomy and Iqonic.
Josh is believed to provide trading development services to companies through his Delaware registered company, MLM Protec LLC. Jenna’s involvement in Zater Capital suggests Josh is likely also involved.
In May 2025, New Zealands FMA issued an AkashX securities fraud warning. /end update
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…]

Vyb Review 2.0: Prelaunch pyramid scheme ditched
Back in January BehindMLM reviewed what at the time was Vyb’s prelaunch.
We were unimpressed with what was an obvious pump and dump pyramid scheme.
Following multiple hiccups, Vyb went on to launch with its pyramid scheme model in February 2025.
Vyb’s first launch flopped, prompting co-owner Aundray Russell announced a new May 5th Vyb relaunch date.
Vyb’s relaunch also flopped. This prompted Russell to announce a May 15th Vyb re-relaunch date.
Fast forward to today and Vyb does appear to have re-relaunched on the domain “thevyb.io”.
Danny de Hek wrote in to advise mid-May that Vyb had changed its business model during one of its re-relaunches.
Today we’re visiting Vyb for an updated post-launch review. [Continue reading…]
