While Blockchain Sports has always represented itself to be based out of Dubai, scammers behind the Ponzi scheme appear to be operating from Russia.
Blockchain Sports is an MLM crypto Ponzi fronted by convicted fraudster Dmitriy Saksonov.
On social media, Saksonov goes by Dima:
Saksonov is assumed to be
hiding out in Dubai
due to his criminal past and Blockchain Sports being a fraudulent investment scheme.
Jeremy Roma, a US national who spends his time between California and Dubai,
funneled victims of his Daisy Global Ponzi scheme into Blockchain Sports
after the
last iteration of Daisy Global collapsed
in late 2023.
Earlier this month two other Blockchain Sports team members, Andrey Shcheglov and Grigoriy Lundin, appeared on a
marketing webinar
:
A BehindMLM reader has written in to advise the building behind them is the Imperia Tower in Moscow:
I don’t know what floor Shcheglov and Lundin are on but the section of the Imperia Tower behind them appears to be one of the black banded floors (not sure if it’s a balcony railing or tinted glass).
Imperia Tower is in plot 4 of the Moscow International Business Center and is surrounded by other towers – one of which Shcheglov and Grigoriy appear to be in.
The Central Bank of Russia is pretty active with respect to regulation of fraudulent investment schemes. To that end Blockchain Sports has not been promoted in Russia, despite strong ties to the country.
On its website Blockchain Sports only discloses a corporate address in Dubai. There is no mention of Russia.
In May 2025 Dev.by, a Belarus IT focused news site, published an article titled “
How Russian IT companies are flooding Belarus
“.
Blockchain Sports gets a mention the article, following a late 2024
promo in Belarus that raised eyebrows
;
In late November 2024, Minsk hosted a massive conference—One AI Forum.
Organizers presented it as «the largest IT forum in the CIS for investors, startups, developers, and students, which was attended by more than 6,000 people.
The event was extensively covered by state media (one, two) and business publications.
One AI Forum also held a startup pitch competition. Experts selected 10 from more than a hundred projects.
One of them—an educational platform for medical professionals called SmartDoctor—received a $9,000 grant to use the Yandex Cloud platform.
The rest were promised comprehensive support in business processes from X-Labs (the general partner and organizer of One AI Forum) and hints about potential investments from the Middle East.
Whether the startups ultimately received the promised mentorship and connections with Arab investors is unknown. Probably not.
The issue is that just in January (only a month after the grandiose AI forum at the football arena), the IT group Blockchain Sports Ecosystem, which includes X-Labs, stopped paying its employees.
Management informed the team that an investor or investors had left: either from the UAE or from Serbia.
