Lonnie Howard: The MLM Promoter Who Thinks He’s Untouchable

Image
  He pushes Ponzi schemes, evades accountability, and joins anti-scam groups just to waste time. But the game’s up, Lonnie — we see you. Who Is Lonnie Howard? Lonnie Howard is not your average misguided opportunity seeker. He’s a prolific promoter of shady financial schemes, with a  Vimeo Channel  littered with pitch videos for programs like  VYB, BFX Standard, XtreamFX, NVisionU, Our Own Rescue, GivBux , and  MWR Financial . He even has a  YouTube Playlist  promoting  Afriq Arbitrage System (AAS)  — a confirmed Ponzi scam tied to  Jesam Michael , who was arrested in connection with an $87 million fraud. Yet despite this track record, Lonnie carries himself like a righteous mentor. He postures as if he’s simply “helping people,” while in reality, he’s luring everyday folks into financial traps. When called out, he gaslights, deflects, and plays the victim — and worse, he thinks he has a  right  to do so. A Masterclass in Evasio...

Toni Marek Exposed – Gag Orders, $200K Fundraisers, and the Fall of VYB

Image
  The collapse of  VYB  is more than just another failed MLM — it’s a  spectacle of desperation, legal drama, and delusional fundraising . And at the center of this chaos?  Toni Marek , VYB’s so-called COO, who now finds herself under a  court-ordered gag , begging for donations, and scrambling to save the crumbling empire. Let’s break down what’s happening and expose the truth behind the carefully crafted victim narrative. Court Records Don’t Lie – Toni Marek Hit With a Gag Order On the surface, Toni Marek is positioning herself as a whistleblower — a survivor of workplace misconduct at Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK). She claims her upcoming book,  “Saving PTK: The Whistleblower’s Fight for Truth and Change” , is her attempt to speak truth to power. But a Texas judge saw something else:  a potential breach of confidentiality, and possibly even a legal threat to PTK’s business . PTK filed an  ex parte  Temporary Restraining Order ...

Shavez Anwar Strikes Again: How Protocol Yield is a Copy-Paste Crypto Scam Disguised as Innovation

Image
  My name is Danny de Hek, also known as  The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger . My mission is to expose and shame scammers who peddle Ponzi schemes disguised as investments, and protect everyday mums and dads from losing their life savings. Today, I’m calling out Shavez Anwar—again—for launching yet another deceptive platform under the name  Protocol Yield ( py.xyz ) . After dissecting the so-called “innovative” features of Protocol Yield, what we uncovered is shocking—but unfortunately not surprising. Protocol Yield appears to be nothing more than a  copy-paste clone  of another legitimate platform:  Zignaly . The Smoking Gun: Duplicate Company Registration Numbers Protocol Yield claims to be operated by  TRIDENT LABS LLC , a South African company using registration number  2018/012010/07 . But guess what? That  exact same company number  belongs to another unrelated company:  ARC CAPITAL (PTY) LTD . How can two different entities shar...

This makes it an attractive side hustle or full-time business because it removes the high upfront costs typically associated with traditional retail. You don’t need to buy stock in bulk, rent storage space, or h...
