Crypto forex trading Ponzi scheme


IT Finance provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

IT Finance’s website domain (“itfinanceai.com”) was privately registered on February 21st, 2020.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, IT Finance provides a UK incorporation number on its website.

This number corresponds with IT Finance Services LTD, which was incorporated back in 2014.

Given IT Finance didn’t exist until a few months ago, it is unlikely this UK incorporation has anything to do with it.

In any event, UK incorporation is dirt cheap and effectively unregulated. It is a favored jurisdiction for scammers looking to incorporate dodgy companies.

The sole admin of IT Finance’s official Facebook group is Mauricio Hubbard (right).

On his Facebook profile, Hubbard represents he is based out of Sinaloa, Mexico.

Last July Hubbard was promoting FX Trait, a forex signals service.

By September 2019 FX Trait had collapsed, exit-scamming with collected membership fees.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to establish anything further on Hubbard’s MLM history.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Referral Commissions

IT Finance pays referral commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

IT Finance caps payable unilevel team levels at twenty-five.

Referral commissions are paid out as a percentage of funds invested across these twenty-five levels.

How many unilevel team levels an IT Finance affiliate qualifies to earn referral commissions on is determined by rank:

  • Rank 1 – 6% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates), 2% on level 2 an 1% on levels 3 and 4
  • Rank 2 – 6% on level 1, 2% on level 2 an 1% on levels 3 to 5

Conclusion

IT Finance represents it generates external ROI revenue via “cryptocurrency and forex trading services”.

No evidence of any trading activity within IT Finance taking place is provided. Nor is there any evidence of external revenue of any kind being used to pay advertised returns.

Furthermore IT Finance’s business model fails the Ponzi logic test.

If Mauricio Hubbard already has an AI trading bot capable of generating 205% every 50 days, what does he need your money for?

As it stands the only verifiable source of revenue entering IT Finance is new investment.

Using new investment to pay affiliates returns of up to 205% every 50 days makes IT Finance a Ponzi scheme.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dies off so too will new investment.

This will starve IT Finance of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
