Tradeknology Review: Trading from a “Grand Master Trader”?

Tradeknology operates in the trading MLM niche. The company launched in 2020.

Tradeknology is based out of Texas. Heading up the company are co-founders Manoah McClendon, Jorge Raziel and Domingo Silvas.

According to McClendon’s Tradeknology corporate bio, as of 2020 he’d “been a successful trader for the last 11 years”.

I wasn’t able to verify that. Nor was I able to verify McClendon has any corporate experience, MLM related or otherwise.

What I did find was Manoah McClendon Ministries, which McClendon was heavily involved in till around 2016. That’s when McClendon reinvented himself as a trading bro.

This began with the “Houston Currency Traders”, which was what McClendon called his Wealth Generators downline.

McClendon has nuked anything that ties him to Wealth Generators, but there are still some snippets if you dig deep enough.

In this May 2016 video titled “
Why Wealth Generators Demetrius Jones Answers
“, Jones claims to have met McClendon “about nine years ago” at the time.

Jones states when they first met he and McClendon were both “flipping houses”. Presumably this preceded McClendon’s stint as a pastor.

Jones goes on to explain McClendon eventually recruited him into his Wealth Generators downline.

McClendon sat atop a “Houston Currency Traders” Wealth Generators downline, that Jones would eventually help him spread to Memphis, Chicago, Nashville and Atlanta.

Wealth Generators’ parent company Investview was
fined $150,000 for fraud related to Wealth Generators
in 2018.

Turns out Wealth Generators wasn’t so much about forex, as it was dumping money in a passive investment opportunity and earning pyramid scheme commissions.

Getting back to McClendon, by the end of 2016 he’d launched SmartTrade Academy.

This marks the beginning of McClendon not just building an MLM downline, but running his own grift.

Religion played a big part of that grift:

In 2017 McClendon became a crypto bro through Coins of Change.

As reviewed here on BehindMLM,
Coins of Change
was a bitcoin-based gifting scheme.

It was in Coins of Change that McClendon would meet his Tradeknology co-founders Jorge Raziel and Domingo Silvas.

Together with Edmond Lee, Raziel and Silvas ran the official Coins of Change FaceBook group. A BehindMLM reader
pegged Silvas as the owner of the scam
.

By the end of 2017 and right in the middle of the late-year crypto bubble, McClendon integrated crypto into SmartTrade Academy with “SmartCoins”.

Coins of Change would go on to inevitably collapse in 2018.

That prompted McClendon to launch “Cryptoknology”. He also began referring to himself as a “Master Trader”.

By now religion had mostly disappeared from McClendon’s social timeline.

The last post to Manoah McClendon Ministries’ FaceBook page was in October 2019.

In mid 2020 McClendon revealed Tradeknology, essentially a reboot of Cryptoknology with a different name.

McClendon also started referring to himself as a “Grand Master Trader”.
