Max Bispo, identified as CEO of Intense Live through social media, presides over a company that provides no ownership details on its website, listing contradictory addresses in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and an Orlando, Florida virtual office. The domain "intenselive.com" was first registered in 2018, with its private registration last updated on February 17, 2020.
The absence of clear leadership information is a common characteristic of high-risk investment schemes. Companies operating legitimately typically disclose their corporate structure and key personnel to foster investor trust and meet regulatory requirements. Intense Live's website footer lists a corporate address in Sao Paulo, Brazil. But the company's official marketing materials cite an "administrative headquarters" in Orlando, Florida. A search for this Florida location reveals it as a Regus virtual office. This suggests no physical operational presence for a company claiming to manage its "own fleet" of rental cars.
Bispo's Facebook profile labels him an "MLM leader" and "dream seller." Four years prior, Bispo promoted Unidain, described as a "university of intelligence," which is no longer operational. This history raises questions about his involvement in previous, now-defunct ventures. Language barriers prevented further tracking of Bispo's participation in other multi-level marketing opportunities.
Intense Live offers no retail products or services. Affiliates market only the Intense Live membership itself. The company asserts it possesses "its own fleet" of "new models" for rental. Yet this claim lacks verifiable evidence, given the virtual office address and opaque corporate structure.
Investors purchase membership tiers promising fixed monthly returns over 12 months. The Master tier requires a $300 investment for a $60 monthly return, totaling $720. Conservative tier members invest $600 for $120 monthly, totaling $1440. The Moderate tier costs $1800 for $360 monthly, yielding $4320. And the Aggressive tier demands a $3000 investment for $800 monthly, totaling $9600. These plans promise monthly returns ranging from 20% to over 26%.
Affiliates earn commissions for recruiting new members. A Basic tier recruit pays $15, a Master tier recruit pays $30, Conservative pays $60, Moderate pays $180, and an Aggressive recruit pays $300.
Residual commissions are distributed through a binary compensation structure. Affiliates sit atop a two-sided team, split into left and right. New recruits fill positions below them, expanding the binary tree. Commissions are paid out based on accumulated sales volume on the weaker leg of the binary team. This system rewards continuous recruitment.
This structure, promising high, consistent returns without clear external revenue, coupled with significant recruitment bonuses, strongly aligns with a Ponzi scheme. Such schemes rely on a constant influx of new investor funds to pay earlier investors. Without a sustainable underlying business, these operations inevitably collapse, leaving the majority of participants with losses. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission routinely issue warnings against investment opportunities that promise guaranteed high returns, particularly those tied to multi-level marketing without genuine retail products. Companies that fail to register their offerings as securities often face enforcement actions.
Potential investors should exercise extreme caution with any program offering high, fixed returns without transparency into its operations or verifiable external revenue sources. The promise of a large return often signals a high risk of total capital loss. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) provides resources for identifying investment fraud.
