Trusted Smart Chain fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

I came across Trusted Smart Chain when an IN8 marketing video linked to in one of BehindMLM’s articles was flagged as deleted.

The video was uploaded by Travis Flaherty. To confirm I visited Flaherty’s YouTube channel and found the videos had been deleted.

IN8 started off as an
NFT grift spinoff of iX Global
, an unregistered investment scheme
sued by the SEC
and subject of two
criminal investigations by Indian authorities
.

Flaherty was a named defendant in the SEC’s $110 million iX Global fraud lawsuit;

Flaherty is an iX Global “Brand Ambassador” and, as such, has solicited investors to purchase DEBT Box crypto asset securities.

Flaherty is also the Registered Agent for Relief Defendant Flaherty Enterprises, LLC.

After IN8
collapsed a few months after launch
, owner and wanted fugitive Joe Martinez rebooted it as a failed DAO project.

Getting back to Flaherty’s YouTube channel, after IN8 Flaherty uploaded marketing promo videos for
Shoply
and Nuway Healthcare.

Neither of those seem to have panned out, with Flaherty uploading videos on “TSC” from late 2024.

“TSC” stands for Trusted Smart Chain. In the video description of “TSC Overview 12-28”, uploaded on December 29th, 2024, Flaherty confirms he is a Trusted Smart Chain co-founder.

I am thrilled to officially announce my acceptance as Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Trusted Smart Chain (TSC).

The thumbnail of Flaherty’s video cites Billy Beach as Trusted Smart Chain’s other co-founder:

Billy Beach, aka Mark Williams Schuler, was also a named defendant in the SEC’s iX Global fraud lawsuit.

Schuler is an iX Global “Brand Ambassador” and, as such, has solicited investors to purchase DEBT Box crypto asset securities.

Along with Defendant Benjamin Daniels, Schuler is the co-founder and a member of Defendant Core 1 Crypto, an entity that partnered with DEBT Box to solicit DEBT Box investors.

In addition, along with Defendants Alton Parker and Benjamin Daniels, Schuler is a co-founder of the FAIR Project, and has solicited investors to purchase crypto assets offered by the FAIR Project.

Whether there are other Trusted Smart Chain co-founders is unclear. Given both Flaherty and Schuler were recently named defendants in a US regulatory fraud lawsuit, this non-disclosure is a significant red flag.

Trusted Smart Chain’s website domain (“trustedsmartchain.com”), was privately registered on October 2nd, 2024. Trusted Smart Chain’s website was put together in November 2024.

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.
