A federal judge has appointed a receiver to seize control of MOBE's assets, but the company's founder appears to be dodging the fallout. Matt Lloyd, the Australian entrepreneur running the online marketing scheme, has gone silent since the June 5th court order and now refuses to contact the court-appointed receiver despite repeated attempts to reach him.
Lloyd, whose real name is Matthew Lloyd McPhee, is 31 and currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He hasn't surfaced publicly since the FTC filed its lawsuit against MOBE, and the receiver is now asking anyone who locates him to demand he make contact with the court.
The receiver wasted no time taking the reins. A placeholder website now directs MOBE visitors to a FAQ page spelling out what comes next. The message to affiliates is blunt: stop taking payments immediately, cancel any travel plans to MOBE events that will never happen, and pull down promotional content from social media or face federal charges.
Lloyd's decision to ghost the receiver and ignore the FTC lawsuit is a risky gamble. Continued non-cooperation will almost certainly result in harsher penalties down the line. For now, how long he plans to stay in hiding remains anyone's guess.
The receiver is working toward compensating victims of the scheme, though that process will take time. The next critical moment comes June 26th when a preliminary injunction hearing is scheduled. Based on similar cases like Digital Altitude, the temporary restraining order should become permanent and cement the receiver's authority over MOBE's operations.
What started as a marketing education platform morphed into an elaborate scheme that extracted money from recruits with promises of easy online income. Thousands of people bought into MOBE courses and paid ongoing affiliate fees based on pitches from Lloyd and his network. The FTC eventually had enough evidence to move, freezing the operation and appointing someone to untangle the financial mess.
The receiver's FAQ makes clear this is now a legal matter, not a business dispute. Affiliates who continue promoting MOBE aren't just making bad decisions—they're breaking the law. The message signals a complete shutdown. No more events. No more payments. No more business as usual.
Lloyd built MOBE on the promise of helping people escape nine-to-five jobs. Instead, he's now in Malaysia watching it all collapse from a distance. The question is whether he'll eventually face the receiver and whatever consequences come with it, or whether he'll keep running.
