Ronae Jull, previously known as the "Hope Coach," now operates under the alias "Hope Hill" as the Compliance Officer for the HyperFund MLM Ponzi scheme. A resident of Seattle, Washington, Jull joined HyperFund as an investor around August 2020 and by March 2021 claimed earnings of $88,000. Her role involves overseeing the scheme's compliance, a position from which she allegedly ignores securities law violations and buries evidence of fraud.
Jull recently appeared in a marketing webinar promoting HyperFund. During the presentation, she stated that FTC attorneys assisted in drafting HyperFund's Service Agreement. She also claimed the scheme's passive investment model is exempt from the Securities and Exchange Act if it is referred to as a "membership" rather than an investment. This assertion directly contradicts federal regulations, which classify such offerings as securities requiring licensing and adherence to strict oversight rules.
HyperFund has recently launched a new passive investment scheme, masquerading as a cryptocurrency mining operation. Both this new venture and the original HU investment scheme constitute securities offerings. Affiliates pool funds into HyperFund with the expectation of generating passive returns, a hallmark of investment fraud.
The juxtaposition of Jull's claimed decade of compliance experience with her current role is striking. Public records offer no evidence of prior employment in compliance-related fields. Ten years ago, Jull was promoting herself as a "prolific writer, author, counselor, and radio personality," positioning herself as the "HOPE Coach" dedicated to transforming families. She described her passion for reaching hurting individuals and bringing them hope and healing. Her current association with HyperFund presents a stark contrast to this earlier persona, as she now appears to be facilitating financial ruin for others.
HyperFund's operations, directed by Ryan Xu and associates with ties to Australia and China, represent a significant ongoing fraud. The scheme's structure relies on new investor funds to pay earlier participants, a classic Ponzi model. Jull's alleged actions as Compliance Officer, including misrepresenting regulatory involvement and circumventing securities laws, underscore the deceptive practices at the heart of HyperFund. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued numerous warnings about investment scams and pyramid schemes, emphasizing the need for due diligence before participating in any program promising high returns. Investors who believe they have been defrauded by HyperFund or similar schemes are encouraged to report their experiences to the FTC and relevant state securities regulators.
