The Prosperity Grid gifting scheme has collapsed.
Admins behind the scam have teamed up with Gift of Legacy scammer Jacques Marais, rebooting as Infinity Grid.
The Prosperity Grid
was a South African gifting scheme launched on or around March 2021.
Among others, The Prosperity Grid was headed up by South African resident Marina Taute (right).
In May 2022 BehindMLM noted The Prosperity Grid was on the verge of collapse. This was signalled by The Prosperity Grid’s entry cost being
slashed
from $500 to ~$126.
Explaining the change on a webinar, Taute reasoned The Prosperity Grid recruitment collapsed because it cost too much to join.
In June 2022 The Prosperity Grid finally
caught the attention of South African regulators
. Unfortunately the regulator to take notice was the FSCA – South Africa’s top financial regulator.
Gifting schemes are pyramid schemes, which fall outside of the FSCA’s jurisdiction. In closing their investigation, the FSCA claimed they’d “referred the matter to other relevant regulators and authorities in South Africa”.
Meanwhile we have Infinity Grid.
Infinity Grid’s website domain (“infinitygrid.global”), was privately registered on May 23rd, 2022. This is around the time The Prosperity Grid’s collapse began.
In an official Infinity Grid November 17th webinar, Dusan Torbica,
a former OneCoin Ponzi promoter
, introduces Jacques Marais as “the beekeeper”.
Torbica goes on to state Marais is “the architect” of Infinity Grid.
Marais (right) was one of the original “core 5” of the
Gift of Legacy
gifting scheme. Gift of Legacy was a spinoff of Kindred Hearts, yet another gifting scheme Marais was involved in.
In July 2022, as Gift of Legacy was also collapsing, Marais
claimed the scam had been “stolen” from him
.
As you all know, GL – my brainchild and pride and joy – Gift of Legacy, was taken from me by the ‘Core Leaders’ and launched to the community before it was ready.
As a result, it has not performed nor lived up to the initial promises that were made, and to this day, – even though it has been out of my control, I feel responsible for that. And therefore responsible to each and every one of you.
So um here we are, with Marais fronting another gifting scheme pieced together from the ashes of other collapsed gifting schemes.
In a nutshell, Infinity Grid continues The Prosperity Grid gifting scheme. The only significant changes are the rebranding and “bee” theme to market the scam.
participants in Infinity Grid are referred to as “keepers” (as in “bee keepers”)
matrices used in Infinity Grid are referred to as honeycombs
cycling from one matrix to a higher tier payment matrix is referred to as “cross-pollination”
Instead of the two tiers The Prosperity Grid had, Infinity Grid has four.
The same 2×3 matrix structure is used for each tier.
Infinity Grid’s four tiers are priced at $100, $400, $1500 and $3000.
Raw numbers in and out are $100 in and $40,000 per position.
