On August 13, 2025, the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (VFIU) ordered Alliance in Motion (AIM Global) to cease operations in Vanuatu, citing its MLM pyramid scheme structure, per behindmlm.com. The investigation, triggered by a marketing event on August 5 at the Ramada Resort, targets AIM Global’s subsidiary, GI-Global, for unregistered financial commitments under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act (AML & CTF Act), per fiu.gov.vu. The VFIU aims to assess money laundering risks, as AIM Global operates from the Philippines under aliases like GI Community, EOS Platform, Empowered Consumerism, and OrbiXVictus, per @BeautyBubble on X.
The August 5 event, branded as a “Big Business Presentation” by Team Global Influencer (GI-Global), hid AIM Global’s identity, using only the obscure AGG logo, per behindmlm.com. Led by ringleaders Wilfred Koran, Bremie Vuti, Kee Revilla, Mhean Revilla, and Lynette Bongin, the event promoted $25–$500 product purchases to drive commissions, a hallmark of a product-based pyramid scheme, per jessesingh.org. Vanuatu’s 327,000 population faces economic and social risks from such schemes, exploiting tight-knit communities, per the Daily Post. The VFIU classifies AIM Global as a Reporting Entity for offering future returns, requiring registration, per fiu.gov.vu.
Run by Eduardo Cabantog from the Philippines, AIM Global has evaded local scrutiny despite a 2022 kidnapping incident in Uganda and a 2023 fraud alert in Pakistan, per behindmlm.com. The Philippine SEC’s inaction contrasts with Vanuatu’s swift response, highlighting global regulatory gaps, per Coinlaw.io. Crypto markets, including Bitcoin ($119,098), remain unaffected, per CoinMarketCap, but MLM schemes like AIM Global and OnPassive (settled for $32M with the SEC) underscore fraud risks, per jessesingh.org. Investors should be wary, as AIM Global’s model mirrors TelexFree’s collapse, per @BehindMLM on X.
