Additional analysis reveals Legacy Builders advertising citing Michele Oneil as “creator” of the corporate.
In a single Legacy Builders advertising video, Oneil claims she created the corporate as a result of she was “burned out on community advertising”.
Previous to launching Legacy Builders earlier this yr, Oneil was a promoter of Infinity Processing System.

Legacy Builders Conclusion
Whereas Infinity Processing System’s web site remains to be up, SimilarWeb tracked simply ~2400 month-to-month visits to it for April 2024.
For an gifting scheme, which depends on fixed unsustainable pyramid recruitment to outlive, that is nearly as good as collapsed.
With that data, why Michele Oneil went off to launch her personal clone unlawful gifting scheme earlier this yr turns into apparent.
Prime recruiters in MLM gifting schemes make greater than their victims however there’s one one who makes much more; the proprietor of the rip-off.
And so we have now Legacy Builders, whereby Oneil has changed IPS’ Adriana Villegas with herself. That’s just about all there may be to Legacy Builders.
As to Legacy Builders’ enterprise mannequin, what I wrote about IPS in 2022 applies right here;
The gifting ingredient exists by the use of 100% of membership charges being paid out as recruitment commissions. That is most noticeable on the Professional tier, the place each recruit items their membership price to the one that recruited them.
Decrease tier associates pass-up portional gifting funds to upline associates who paid extra in membership charges.
That is “pay to play”, one of many hallmarks of an MLM pyramid scheme.
We will affirm Infinity Processing System is a pyramid scheme, by the use of 100% of commissions paid out being tied to recruitment.
In gentle of Infinity Processing System working as a pyramid scheme, the digital merchandise bundled with membership charges are neither right here nor there.
MLM firms with out retail gross sales function as pyramid schemes. Bundling merchandise to membership charges doesn’t change the in any other case fraudulent enterprise mannequin.
MLM pyramid schemes require a continuing stream of recent recruits to pay commissions out.
After they inevitably collapse, math ensures nearly all of contributors in MLM pyramid schemes lose cash.
IPS has successfully collapsed, ensuing within the majority of contributors dropping cash (such is the unsustainable math of gifting schemes).
A lot of Oneil’s IPS victims (and people she recruited early), can have possible adopted her into Legacy Builders.
Oneil’s victims, these she personally recruited in the direction of the top of IPS, will probably be hoping to recoup their losses by recruiting new victims into Legacy Builders.
Oneil’s early recruits, who like herself stole cash from those that have been recruited after, will probably be trying to maintain the gifting funds gravy practice rolling.
One final level I need to contact on is Kajabi internet hosting Legacy Builders.
Michele Oneil is predicated out of Kansas. Kajabi is predicated out of California.
Within the US gifting schemes are unlawful. They’re investigated and prosecuted as fraudulent enterprise alternatives by the USPS, FTC and DOJ.
A latest instance of a gifting scheme being taken down by US authorities is Blessings In No Time (BINT).
The FTC filed swimsuit towards BINT’s co-founders in June 2021. The DOJ adopted up with legal expenses in November 2023.
Whether or not Kajabi is conscious its platform is getting used to defraud customers by way of an unlawful gifting rip-off is unclear.
I additionally seen Legacy Builders is processing funds by way of Stripe, which supplies entry to third-party fee providers like Google Pay, Hyperlink, Klarna and AfterPay.
I’m undecided if that is being accessed by way of Kajabi or one other platform.
Both method, it’s one other level of failure if any of those firms examine Legacy Builders’ fraudulent enterprise mannequin.
