Splitt, a cryptocurrency multi-level marketing scheme, claims to offer flexible cloud mining with a London corporate address. This address, however, is linked to over eighty other companies, indicating a virtual office rather than a physical presence.
The company identifies Patel Nguyen as its CEO. His purported biography describes him as a self-made entrepreneur and a respected figure in the South Asian cryptocurrency scene, with prior experience at tech giants including IBM, Google, and Facebook. Independent verification of Nguyen’s existence and his claimed professional history is nonexistent. The only available image of him is a black and white photograph on Splitt’s website, with no other online trace.
Splitt Corp Limited, the entity behind the operation, is incorporated in the United Kingdom. Such registrations are inexpensive and minimally regulated, frequently used by fraudulent operations to establish a facade of legitimacy. The lack of transparency regarding company ownership and leadership is a significant warning sign for potential investors.
The company does not offer any retailable products or services. Instead, affiliates can only market the Splitt affiliate membership itself. Participation in the income opportunity requires an initial investment of at least 0.001 Bitcoin.
Splitt affiliates are promised a daily return on investment (ROI) based on their chosen mining package. The "Dynamic Cloud Mining" tier requires an investment between 0.001 and 25 BTC, promising a 2.64% daily ROI for 60 days. The "Bare Metal Simplified" tier, ranging from 0.025 to 50 BTC, offers a 3.5% daily ROI for 40 days. The highest tier, "ASIC Mining," demands investments from 0.5 to 500 BTC and claims a 4.7% daily ROI for 35 days.
Commissions are paid on downline investments through a three-level unilevel recruitment structure. Level 1 recruits earn a 4% commission for the referrer, level 2 earns 2%, and level 3 earns 1%. Representative affiliates can reportedly increase their level 1 commission to 10%, though the criteria for achieving this status are not publicly disclosed.
Splitt’s operational model, characterized by unverifiable management, a virtual corporate address, and a lack of evidence for external revenue generation, closely resembles typical cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes. The structure relies on new investments to pay promised returns to earlier participants, rather than on actual mining profits.
