Pyramid schemes/ Ponzi schemes and Fraud warnings!
Latest active company/ business/ name change marked bold. Some of the businesses and companies are dissolved. All businesses and/or companies below has warnings as pyramid schemes and/or security frauds.
AuLives | Article 1
Front figures: Frank Ricketts (OPN-SiteTalk, Unaico, OneCoin, and Cloud Horizon with brands Ecovo and Amplivo)
Auvoria Prime (formerly SilverStar Live) | Article 1
Front figures: Co-owners Hassan Mahmoud and Candace Ross-Mahmoud (rebooted to Eaconomy), Sal Leto (CNO, Vice President of Eaconomy Operations). Sal Leto is former promotor of OneCoin pyramid scheme in US. Sal leto is formerly involved in iPro Network (sued by the SEC in US for being a $26 million dollar pyramid scheme). Mariska van de Langenberg, Auvoria Prime’s Director of Compliance. Van de Langenberg is another Eaconomy recruit. We first came across Van de Langenberg as CEO of 5 Star Signals* back in 2015. 5 Star Signals, a pyramid scheme masquerading as an MLM trading opportunity, was issued a securities fraud non-compliance fine by the Netherland’s AMF.
* In July 2016 5 Star Signals collapsed, amidst claims of $180,000 in commissions being stolen. Total investor losses remain unknown.
Any time an MLM company excludes the US from a legal product or service, it’s a good sign they’re up to no good. In this instance, Auvoria Prime playing coy with US regulators can be traced back to SilverStar Live’s CFTC fine. SilverStar Live was fined because it; acted as commodity trading advisors (“CTAs”) without being registered with the Commission as such, by exercising discretionary trading authority over the forex trading accounts of U.S. customers who were not eligible contract participants (“ECPs”).
Aurovria Prime’s executives:
- Joshua Phair is Auvoria Prime’s Chief Financial Officer, brought on as an Eaconomy consultant in July 2019.
- Bill Wynne is Auvoria Prime’s Chief Technology Officer, formerly Eaconomy’s Chief Technology Officer.
- Vanessa Leto (aka Rosario Lopez) is Auvoria Prime’s Corporate Director, she’s Sal Leto’s wife and evidently partner in crime.
Eaconomy lumps VisiKard, Maurice Katz and Bolt Capital (a shell company registered in Nevis), as developers of what was supposed to be their own virtual assistant app.
Maurice Katz worked with Sal Leto to promote the OneCoin Ponzi scheme across the US. VisiKard is run by CEO Kenneth O. Lipscomb. Katz isn’t mentioned on VisiKard’s website.
