Phillip Ming Xu, facing global regulatory action against his WCM777 Ponzi scheme, rebranded it as Kingdom777 late last year. He appointed James Tenorio as CEO, attempting to shield the operation from scrutiny. Tenorio's tenure was brief, marked by a single public update on the Kingdom777 website in January.
Rumors then surfaced claiming Tenorio had abandoned the post. No confirmation of this information emerged, but Tenorio has not communicated since that January update. This left Ming Xu back in charge. With Kingdom777 barely a month old, he appeared to change the scheme's name again.
Suspicions grew when Kingdom777 and its associated sites went offline roughly twenty-four hours ago. Dutra's The Paper reported that kingdom777.com, kingdomtrade.org, and kingdom777.hk were all down. Social media messages claimed a 48-hour outage for site upgrades and changes.
The domain unity.pe is listed as repossessed by godaddy.com, Xu Ming's preferred domain seller. Investigators have not determined unity.pe's role in this shift. Initial investigations into the outage showed many sites moving services to new providers and net blocks.
Worldcapitalmarket.com relocated onto Google Cloud Services. 1and300.com moved to a net block assigned to seizuretimegaming. Kingdom777.com shifted to Yahoo hosting. Kingdomtrade.org remains at liquidweb, where many sites linked to this scheme have been since the start.
Hours later, emails arrived detailing one of Kingdom777's top Ponzi promoters trying to quietly move his downline to a new scheme called "Global Unity." Renato Rodriguez, a top leader in WCM777, might be switching his entire network to this new company. He instructed followers that "no information must be shared."
The Global Unity website domain, global-unity.net, was registered on February 24th. Much of the site remains under development. Its appearance resembles Kingdom777, but no direct link is visible on the surface. The Global Unity "products" page displays text about overcoming poverty. The "company profile" offers standard scam rhetoric, ignoring negative aspects.
