iN8’s origins are within the fraudulent funding scheme run by iX World and Debt Field.
Amid a then ongoing SEC fraud case, iX World founder and CEO Joe Martinez launched iN8 as an NFT Ponzi grift.
That lasted roughly two months, with iN8’s first iteration collapsing in March 2024.
Martinez (proper) launched iX World again in 2021. iX World’s first iteration was a buying and selling bot funding scheme paired with an training platform pseudo-compliance ruse.
Apart from India, iX World’s buying and selling scheme flopped. This prompted Martinez emigrate to crypto fraud in partnership with Debt Field.
iX World and Debt Field solicited “x-node” funding from customers on the promise of passive returns.
Neither iX World or Debt Field have been registered to supply securities within the US. This prompted the SEC to file a $49 million fraud lawsuit in August 2023.
Throughout the course of proceedings, estimated iX World and Debt Field fraud would climb to $110 million.
Parallel proceedings in India resulted in a number of arrests. Martinez has arrest warrants out on him in connection to 2 Indian iX World felony instances. He stays a wished fugitive.
Sadly for iX World and Debt Field victims, SEC attorneys dealing with the case acquired some dates incorrect and failed to tell the courtroom.
This was delivered to the courtroom’s consideration by Debt Field’s attorneys, in the end ensuing within the SEC being sanctioned and the case dismissed.
The underlying $110 million in fraud alleged by the SEC stays unresolved. The case was dismissed with out prejudice, permitting the regulator to file a brand new grievance sooner or later.
Within the meantime Debt Field and iX World have been free to proceed defrauding customers. Final we heard, Debt Field’s founders initiated a $400 million exit-scam and fled to Dubai.
Martinez, upon receiving affirmation the SEC was “reinvestigating” the case, collapsed what was left of iX World.
That was June 2024 and with the iN8 NFT grift collapsing in March 2024, ought to have been the top of Martinez’s fraud pending the SEC refiling their case.

iN8 Conclusion
iN8 is actually a mishmash of iX World’s securities fraud (CloudX nodes), combined with the short-lived Debt Field NFT grift.
Regardless of representing to customers that iN8 is registered within the US…
…a search of the SEC’s Edgar database reveals it isn’t.
That is essential as, with out SEC registration and submitting of audited monetary reviews, the one verifiable income coming into iN8 is new funding.
Utilizing new funding to pay ROI withdrawals (and/or iN8 token conversions to USD), brings us again to iX World’s authentic fraud. It could additionally make iN8 a Ponzi scheme.
With nothing marketed or bought to retail prospects, the MLM facet of iN8 operates as a pyramid scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, as soon as affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new funding.
It will starve iN8 of ROI income, finally prompting a collapse.
Particular to iN8, a collapse shall be observable as passive returns persistently decline in the direction of zero. Be careful for engaging affords in IN8 token to cowl this up. IN8 token is generated on demand and is inherently nugatory exterior of iN8 itself.
I assumed iX World and Debt Field launching an apparent NFT grift amid a then ongoing SEC fraud lawsuit was bombastically silly. And no matter whether or not the SEC bungled its case because of an admin error, it was.
Doubling down on that fraud with iN8 NFT returns rebooted and extra node place funding directed at primarily US residents, equally doubles down on the stupidity.
Hopefully when the SEC refiles they embody Martinez’s continued iN8 funding fraud.
Issues could be a bit sketchy within the US in the intervening time however I’d nonetheless be stunned if the SEC let a $110 million fraud case go.
