AI + NFTs + metaverse MLM crypto grift


Blockchain Alliance operates within the cryptocurrency MLM area of interest.

Heading up the corporate we have now CEO Joshua Denne.

As per Denne’s LinkedIn profile, he’s additionally the CEO of Blockchain Funding.

Blockchain Funding was launched in 2017 and claims to “present cutting-edge options for Web3, NFT, and blockchain initiatives”.

At time of publication SimilarWeb tracked negligible site visitors to Blockchain Funding’s web site area.

Blockchain Funding’s Instagram profile hasn’t been touched because it was created in April 2022. Blockchain Funding’s Twitter profile is clean, indicating it too hasn’t been used because it was created in April 2022.

Along with no web site site visitors, it seems Blockchain Funding is lifeless.

It must be famous that the identical folks behind Blockchain Funding are behind Blockchain Alliance:

Previous to launching Blockchain Alliance, Denne was a promoter of the Daisy Foreign exchange Ponzi scheme.

In February 2023, Denne claimed his scamming with Daisy Foreign exchange was “simply getting began”:

Undecided what occurred there. A month later Denne introduced Blockchain Alliance’s April 2023 prelaunch.

Of observe is that this March 2023 Instagram put up from Denne, by which he represents serial scammers Rabu Gary and Avinash Nagamah as “enterprise companions”.

Gary and Nagamah had been lately outed as high net-winners within the collapsed $500 million Merchants Area Ponzi scheme. Whether or not Denne was a Merchants Area investor is unclear.

Circa 2021 Denne was selling Chris Snook’s SDK Meta “organized crime tier privateness telephone” grift.

SDK Meta seems to have collapsed in early 2022.

Going again additional, in 2020 Denne was selling Effectively Past.

Effectively Past happened after Jeremy Reynolds bought what was left of MXI Corp after it collapsed in 2017.

Initially Effectively Past continued to promote MXI Corp’s Xocai chocolate dietary supplements. In 2020 Reynolds started funneling Effectively Past distributors into Travis Bott’s Onyx Way of life Ponzi scheme.

Though he denies having “any energy” within the firm, Clif Braun was initially cited as an Onyx Way of life co-founder.

Braun is concerned in Blockchain Alliance.

Onyx Way of life would ultimately turn out to be Digital Revenue in mid 2020. Jeremy Reynolds signed on as a Digital Revenue co-founder with Travis Bott.

Digital Revenue collapsed in August 2021. What was left of Effectively Past was offered off to My Every day Selection in September 2021.

As greatest I can inform, Denne’s descent into MLM crypto fraud started with Effectively Past.

Earlier than he acquired a style for crypto fraud, Denne made a reputation for himself in Seacret Direct (2011 – 2018).

Different names I acknowledged on Blockchain Alliance’s company staff embody Toan Nguyen, Wayne Marcel and Doug Kyle.

Toan Nguyen is co-founder of LaCore Enterprises’ Elomir.

By his Passive Earnings Group YouTube channel, Nguyen has been selling MLM crypto Ponzi schemes since mid 2018.

Eight days in the past Nguyen uploaded a promotional evaluation of the lately launched MuQuant MLM crypto Ponzi scheme:

Wayne Marcel and Toan Nguyen teamed up in early 2022 to launch Definity FI Academy, a collapsed MLM crypto Ponzi scheme.

Doug Kyle is co-founder of KulaBrands.

No company tackle is offered on Blockchain Alliance’s web site. On LinkedIn, Joshua Denne cites his location as Arizona within the US.

Presumably this implies Blockchain Alliance can also be being operated from Arizona.

Blockchain Alliance’s Merchandise

Blockchain Alliance sells entry to particular person services and products by means of what they name “entry passes”.

Services featured in Blockchain Alliance’s advertising embody:

  • DAO – three-tier group by means of which associates are led to imagine they will vote on enterprise associated issues, however the majority of votes forged are by Blockchain Alliance executives
  • Utherverse – metaverse grift

It’s price noting that Blockchain Alliance’s advertising cites twelve entry cross tiers. There are 9 above with the opposite three presumably “TBD”.

Blockchain Alliance attire up its product service tiers as NFTs. There doesn’t seem like any cause for this aside from “as a result of crypto”.

On pricing, Blockchain Alliance is at present hiding this data from customers:

From what I’ve been in a position to piece collectively, Blockchain Alliance’s entry passes begin at $200…

…and run into the 1000’s. This advertising slide suggests Blockchain Alliance entry passes will price as a lot as $20,000:

Entry cross charges are represented to be month-to-month recurring subscriptions.

Blockchain Alliance’s Compensation Plan

Blockchain Alliance’s compensation plan pays on entry cross gross sales to retail clients and recruited associates.

Referral Commissions

Blockchain Alliance pays referral commissions on entry cross charges down two ranges of recruitment:

  • degree 1 (retail clients and personally recruited associates) – 15%
  • degree 2 – 10%

Blockchain Alliance takes 2% of company-wide entry pas charges and locations it into the High Producers Pool.

Blockchain Alliance Conclusion

Blockchain Alliance’s principals have a variety of fraud-related heavy baggage.

As I perceive it Blockchain Alliance was able to launch a while in the past. The launch was delayed so “AI” buzzwords and NFTs may very well be rammed into the enterprise mannequin and advertising.

That’s in fact all fluff. On the core of Blockchain Alliance’s MLM alternative is a passive returns buying and selling bot.

Having by no means heard of digieBot Applied sciences Inc, I went and regarded them up:

Shock shock, it’s run by Blockchain Alliance’s Buying and selling Crew CEO, Doug Kyle.

Kyle’s digieBot Tech accomplices, Mudasser Abbas and Brendan Duff, function alongside him on Blockchain Alliance’s web site.

Should you’re questioning what occurred to the opposite KulaBrands co-founder Peter Gantner, he’s in fact “secretly” concerned in Blockchain Alliance.

You received’t discover Gantner talked about on digieBot Tech’s or Blockchain Alliance’s web sites or advertising supplies.

It’s price mentioning that, a minimum of in keeping with Gantner’s LinkedIn profile, the digieBot Tech buying and selling bot grift has been happening since January 2018.

That was over 5 years in the past. The place are the audited buying and selling outcomes?

Talking of audits, it goes with out saying that the passive returns supplied by means of Blockchain Alliance’s buying and selling bots constitutes a securities providing.

With Joshua Denne and Blockchain Alliance being based mostly out of the US, this requires registration with the SEC.

A search of the SEC’s publicly accessible Edgar database reveals neither Blockchain Alliance, Joshua Denne, digieBot Tech, Doug Kyle or Peter Gantner are registered.

digieBOT Tech is talked about in a 2019 KulaBrands submitting however that’s a part of the corporate’s failed IPO try. It doesn’t disclose KulaBrands providing securities by means of its automated buying and selling bot.

Just lately we’ve additionally seen the CFTC go after MLM automated buying and selling bot schemes. Though not as clear reduce as securities fraud, failing to register with the CFTC may additionally set off commodities fraud violations.

Though the hyperlink is at present disabled, I additionally couldn’t assist however discover “staking” in Blockchain Alliance’s web site footer:

This probably opens the door for a “staking” fashion crypto Ponzi sooner or later (I didn’t see any point out of 1 in researching this evaluation).

Connected to Blockchain Alliance’s securities and potential commodities fraud is a pseudo-compliance MLM compensation plan.

Retail and affiliate Blockchain Alliance participates enroll with the identical type. The one distinction is Blockchain Alliance associates click on a checkbox.

If this stays the identical it goes with out saying the corporate goes to be affiliate-heavy. This may end in Blockchain Alliance furthering their fraud by working as a pyramid scheme.

Between securities and commodities fraud and passive returns being supplied by means of a five-year outdated automated buying and selling bot, how Blockchain Alliance finally pans out will possible be a repeat of Digital Revenue.

Rigged trades in favor of these operating the scheme, with everybody else dropping out.
