Modeled on the failed Ponzi scheme
Bids That Give
, Changes Worldwide initially launched in late 2013 as
a $25,000 revenue-sharing scheme
.

For whatever reason, that didn’t last long and a few months after launch Changes Worldwide switched names to Changes Trading.

Whereas Changes Worldwide attached itself to an irrelevant dietary supplement, Changes Trading sought to hide behind a day-trading platform.

We also incurred some additional unexpected expenses in Ju
