A Delaware-registered company called Passive Earner is operating what amounts to a pyramid scheme dressed up as an investment club, with owner Brian Basser at the helm.

LandWhale Enterprises Inc., incorporated September 10, 2014, claims to own Passive Earner. Basser's résumé is thin. He lists "over 25 years of programming experience," and recently worked at MyTrafficValue.com—a site hawking investment returns of 186% to 250%. No details on what Basser actually did there.

Here's the scam: Passive Earner has no products. No services. Affiliates pay monthly fees ranging from nothing to $20, then they're pushed to recruit other affiliates and buy company shares. That's it. That's the entire business model.

The compensation structure screams MLM. Affiliates who pay the $20 "Expert" tier get 50% commission on level-one recruits who buy shares, 12% on level-two recruits, 8% on level-three, 5% on level-four, and 3% on level-five. The $10 "Advanced" tier gets 40% on level-one down to 2% on level-five. Even the free members earn 10% commission on direct recruits.

This is recruitment-based compensation, the hallmark of illegal pyramid schemes.

Basser claims the company is worth $100,000 because they own a domain, some code, and traffic. He created one million shares valued at 10 cents each. Once monthly, shareholders supposedly receive dividends based on company profits. Each share is worth 0.000001 times the monthly net profit.

The only revenue source? Membership fees. Money flows in from fresh recruits paying to join, gets funneled upward to earlier members, and Basser claims some trickles back as "dividends."

This is a Ponzi structure masquerading as equity investment. As long as new members keep paying in, early participants see returns. The moment recruitment slows—and it always does—the whole thing collapses. The last people in lose everything.

Regulatory red flags pile up. No retail product means there's no legitimate business generating revenue. The dividend payment formula is contrived nonsense designed to look mathematical. And Basser's connection to MyTrafficValue, another dubious investment scheme, suggests a pattern.

Passive Earner operates in legal gray areas but walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. It's a vehicle for transferring money from desperate people seeking passive income to the people already at the top of the structure. Basser profits by taking a cut before any dividends are paid out.

Anyone considering joining should ask a simple question: Where exactly does the money come from? If the answer is "other members' fees," it's not an investment. It's a con.
