So the saying goes; the wheels of justice turn slowly. Honestly, sometimes in the MLM world it feels like they don’t move at all. Back in 2014 BehindMLM published our MyNyloxin review. MyNyloxin served...

A few months ago we reviewed Jeff Long’s Luvv opportunity.Initial reception appears to have been lukewarm. Alexa statistics for the Luvv website show a brief spike in interest followed by a steady decline.
Now Long is marketing what he’s calling his “inner circle”, through which he’s announced Luvv tokens.
From the sounds of it the Luvv token is going to be a cookie-cutter ERC20 token.
Long (right) states its intended use will be through the “Luvv ecosystem”, although as I understand it none of that is up and running yet.
In the meantime Long is asking for $100/$200 a month or $1000 a year in…
Following the collapse of KashhCoin in late 2017, founder Asif Ashraf Malkani withdrew what he’d stolen and went into hiding.Complaints from KashhCoin investors after the collapse prompted an investigation by Indian authorities.
That investigation lead to the arrest of one of Malkani’s accomplices.
Malkani however remained at large, until his recent arrest in New Delhi.
Following stints in Goa, Chennai, Kolkata, Kanpur and Pune, last month Malkani (right) fled to Uttar Pradesh.
Not satisfied with scamming people through just one cryptocurrency, Malkani was gearing up to launch a new MLM shitcoin.
Malkani’s new scam was going to be called V-Tube, some sort of video streaming service tied…
Our research into Nguyen The Anh’s $13.7 million dollar Ponzi scheme left us with some serious questions.Primarily, to what extent was Organo Gold aware its products were being used to promote financial fraud?
Shortly after publication we were contacted by one of Organo Gold’s Canadian attorneys.
According to Patrick Miranda, the Organo Gold coffee used to promote The Anh’s Ponzi scheme was counterfeit.

In addition to the ROI, investors were also given boxes of Organo Gold coffee. Vouchers, redeemable for Organo Gold branded coffee, were…
Authorities in Vietnam are looking to prosecute Nguyen The Anh (note that’s his name, not the word “the”), for orchestrating a $13.7 million dollar Ponzi scheme.Supposedly Anh ran his own MLM company, Phuc Gia Bao Investment Joint Stock Company (more commonly known at “68 company”), which relied heavily on convincing others it was part of Organo Gold.
The company launched a multi-level marketing scheme for the Organo Gold coffee brand.
This venture did not do well, so The Anh called for business co-operation for marketing the Lingzhi Red Lucerne coffee.
The second reiteration of Anh’s company, named Phuc Gia Bao Investment & Trading JSC (“868…

It’s no secret that Africa is a hotbed of MLM cryptocurrency fraud.Perpetrators, primarily from the US and Europe, have no scruples when it comes to targeting and exploiting uneducated (and often poor) investors in Africa.
On an almost daily basis BehindMLM receives emails from people with distinctly African names. More often than not they’re begging for access to their account in whatever MLM crypto scam of the day has done a runner on them.
Naturally I can’t help these people and so their emails go unanswered.
One African nation, Uganda, is struggling to cope with the current MLM cryptocurrency crime wave.
