BeFargo provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The BeFargo website domain (“befargo.com”) was privately registered on September 4th, 2016.
Much is made of BeFargo being a purported US company in affiliate marketing material, however the BeFargo website Terms and Conditions states:
For all legal purposes, these Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws applicable in the UK. You agree and hereby submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the UK for the resolution of any disputes arising from these Terms of Use.
Most of the BeFargo affiliate marketing material I came across was in Russian.
The main speaker at BeFargo’s California event was some guy who goes by Robert Steenburgh.
Steenburgh (right) was presented as a “cryptocurrency expert” and spoke at length about the proof of stake model FargoCoin is based on.
The man hosting the event was Koryaka Eli who, at least going by his accent, appears to be European.
The only other speaker name-tags I was able to ascertain were James Booze and Joe Reyes. I wasn’t able to find any footage of them speaking though so I’m not sure what his relationship to BeFargo is.
Outside of the BeFargo event, I was unable to find any information on Steenburgh, Eli, Booze or Reyes. This is highly suspicious.
Whether BeFargo is being run by Russians or someone in the US remains unclear.
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.
