PGI Global's Website Goes Dark as Alleged Ponzi Scheme Collapses
Praetorian Group International has pulled the plug. The company's website vanished roughly 48 hours ago, marking what appears to be the final stage of an exit-scam that failed to gain traction through an earlier cryptocurrency venture called Nui's Kala.
I waited two days to confirm this wasn't a routine technical glitch. It wasn't.
The shutdown came with damage control. PGI Global has been censoring comments on its official Facebook page. The last post, dated June 27th, promoted a broadcast tied to the company's shell operation in Estonia.
According to BehindMLM's investigation, the scheme was orchestrated by Ramil Ventura Palafox, also known as RV Palafox. Originally from the Philippines, Palafox obtained US citizenship at some point—though his background suggests he has operated well outside the law.
A November 2016 report tells part of the story. Philippine Bureau of Immigration officials arrested "Ramil Palafox" at Ninoy Aquino International Airport as he attempted to board a Philippine Airlines flight to Hong Kong. He was carrying six Filipino women, each in possession of what they claimed were UAE domestic worker visas. Palafox initially denied having the documents before retrieving them from his carry-on bag. The women later revealed their actual destination was Dubai, not Hong Kong.
That arrest was for human trafficking. The Philippines Bureau of Immigration documented the entire operation.
Palafox fled to Dubai earlier this year. The timing matters. Dubai, with its minimal regulation and absent extradition treaties, has become the headquarters for MLM scams worldwide over the past two years.
His business partner, Mark Davis, operated from Australia. Davis abandoned his social media accounts in October 2020 and scrubbed his personal website offline shortly after.
An unverified management roster circulating online names dozens of enablers operating as regional presidents across Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America, North America, and the UK. The structure is classic pyramid architecture: Palafox and Davis at the top, Helen L Graham serving as Global President, and a cascading network of country-specific operators funneling money upward.
The list includes Shofi Ullah for Europe, Bako Faysal for Asia, Benny Akiki Mwesigwa for Africa, and multiple operatives splitting Latin America and the UK territories. Raquel Paulino is named as co-founder in the Philippines. Rosario Austria, listed as MD and Vice President of Health & Well Being, lent medical credibility to whatever products or services the scheme peddled.
PGI Global operated as a textbook Ponzi. New recruits paid in, commissions flowed to upline members, and the scheme sustained itself through relentless recruitment rather than legitimate product sales. Once the money dried up—and it always does—the operators vanished.
Palafox's whereabouts remain unknown. Law enforcement agencies in multiple jurisdictions now have reason to investigate a man with a documented history of moving people illegally across borders and operating financial schemes designed to separate vulnerable investors from their money.
