Tirus provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

Tirus’ website domain (“tirus.ltd”), was first registered in 2016. The private registration was last updated in August 2018.

Tirus’ official FaceBook group has one admin; Vladimir Potapov (right).

Potapov’s own FaceBook profile has no content prior to creation of Tirus’ FaceBook group in 2017.

This flags it as a potentially bogus profile.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Tirus provides Swiss incorporation documents for Tirus GmbH.

There’s also a corresponding “banking account” document, purportedly providing details of an associated HypoVereinsbank account:

For the purpose of MLM due-diligence, these documents are meaningless. What they do provide us however is the name “Teterin Denis”.

Tirus marketing material cites Denis Teterin and Andrei Zeitsev as co-founders of the company.

Prior to Tirus, Andrei Zeitsev was slinging a Russian real-estate passive investment opportunity.

This appears to be the precursor to Tirus, which was launched on the same marketing pitch.

Earn money by participating in marketing. Become the owner of profitable real estate in Moscow.

Use ready-made tools from the company, invent anything new is not required.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to ascertain Andrei Zeitsev’s pre-Tirus history.

As per their respective FaceBook profiles, Teterin and Zeitsev are based out of Krasnoyarsk and Moscow.

As opposed to Switzerland (prior to that Tirus operated through a Hong Kong shell company), this would make Tirus a Russian MLM company.

This ties into the bulk of Tirus’ marketing being presented in Russian:

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Tirus’ Products

Tirus has no retailable products or services.

Affiliates are only able to market Tirus affiliate membership itself.

Tirus’ Compensation Plan

Tirus affiliates invest in a four-tier matrix cycler:

Easy – $10

Medium – $50

Hard – $100

Grand – $1000

Note that investing at the Medium tier also creates a position at the Easy tier.

Investing at the Hard tier creates a position on both the Easy and Medium tiers. Investing at the Grand tier creates a position on the Easy, Medium and Hard tiers.

Tirus uses 4×1 matrices in its cycler. These require four positions to be filled.

Positions are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates who purchase tier positions.

Once all four positions are filled, a “cycle” is triggered.

An initial cycle at any tier pays a commission, generates a new tier 1 position and cycles into the next cycler tier within that payment tier (easy, medium or hard).

Because the initial cycle on any tier generates a higher tier position, the commission received is less than subsequent tier cycles.

Subsequent cycles generate a new tier 1 position without generating a higher tier position, resulting in a higher commission
