Michael Sander, founder of Obtainer Online magazine, is helping ViziNova, an alleged Ponzi scheme, despite its history of harming investors. Last month, ViziNova was identified as a direct copy of WCM777, an offshore Ponzi that financially devastated many. ViziNova's founders, Renato Rodrigues and Gutemberg dos Santos, were top earners in WCM777. They now promote the same operation, promising affiliates 150-166% returns on investments ranging from $1000 to $3000.

Obtainer Online published an article defending ViziNova. The piece aims to disconnect the company from WCM777. Michael Sander, the magazine's founder, directly involved himself in the discussion. Sander presented himself as an expert in global MLM, ready to guide ViziNova "to do everything right from the very outset."

Sander knows ViziNova's true nature. He chooses to assist it anyway.

The Obtainer article offers a careful misdirection. Yes, it states, Rodrigues and dos Santos earned millions at WCM777. Yes, they made that money from participants below them in the scheme. But the article claims they were separate from the operation itself. It suggests they were unfairly "lumped together" with Dr. Phil Ming Xu, who owned WCM777.

This distinction holds no meaning. Rodrigues and dos Santos did not just participate in WCM777. They were its primary architects of theft. They understood the mechanics of the scheme intimately. They profited from it significantly. Now they use that exact knowledge to build ViziNova.

Sander attempts to legitimize the entire operation by comparing ViziNova to Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. The comparison is absurd. Those companies do not accept thousands of dollars from users with promises of 150% returns. They solve actual problems for users. ViziNova solves nothing. It extracts money from new recruits and funnels it upward, just as every Ponzi scheme does.

ViziNova needed someone with credibility to make its Ponzi appear respectable. Sander needed a client. They found each other. Obtainer Online's readers now receive a carefully cleaned-up defense of a scheme that should never have launched.

Victims receive no restitution. The architects face no prosecution. Instead, they rebrand and hire magazine editors to tell the internet that investigating their past is unfair. This is how fraud thrives today. Not through secrecy, but through noise. It muddies the record with enough "both sides" rhetoric that casual readers cannot tell fact from spin. Sander understands this. He uses it to his advantage.

The facts remain unchanged. ViziNova's founders operated a Ponzi scheme before. They operate one now. Michael Sander is helping them do it.
