There have been rumblings that
OmegaPro’s collapse
is tied to The Traders Domain, a non-MLM Ponzi scheme that also collapsed in late 2022.
The
implication
being that OmegaPro investor funds were commingled into The Traders Domain, which was running its own Ponzi.
I haven’t been able to verify anything, and I still can’t – at least not definitively.
But a recently filed regulatory lawsuit has now revealed one concrete link between OmegaPro and The Traders Domain.
The CFTC has filed suit against Yas Castellum LLC, Yas Castellum Financial LLC, Saeg Capital General Management, and several individual defendants.
Yas Castellum LLC – defunct shell company incorporated in Colorado, registered with the NFA as a commodity pool operator in October 2020,
permanently barred from NFA membership
in September 2022 for fraud
Yas Castellum Financial LLC – shell company set up in Hawaii
Saeg Capital General Management LP (SAEG GM) – shell company incorporated in Delaware, registered with the NFA as a forex and swap firm and commodity pool operator

Sims is also a potential direct link between Holton Buggs’ and Travis Bott’s collapsed
Meta Bounty Hunters
and
Meta Bounty Huntresses
Ponzi schemes.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s also Marcus Brisco second from the right front row. I’m not 100% on this, but you can compare to Brisco’s Twitter profile screenshot below (I believe it’s an older photograph).
The CFTC’s January 31st lawsuit details a number of fraudulent schemes, through which Sims worked with The Traders Domain owner Ted Safranko.
As alleged by the CFTC;
From at least April 2020 through the present, Marcus Brisco, Yas Castellum LLC, Yas Cestellum Financial LLC, Tin Tran, and Michael Sims, operated three interconnected fraudulent schemes in which they solicited and/or accepted funds, from individuals and entities.
