The domain behindmlmreviews.com, originally launched in late 2024 as a clone of BehindMLM, has been hijacked to publish promotional spam for DAO1 and Apertum since January 15, 2026.
After sitting dormant for months (with intermittent downtime), the site suddenly began republishing marketing press releases and articles glorifying the schemes and their promoters.
The six new articles highlight the following individuals tied to DAO1 and Apertum recruitment:
These names have repeatedly appeared in DAO1 marketing materials across Telegram, YouTube, and other platforms.
Regulatory authorities in several countries have already flagged DAO1 and Apertum (APTM) as fraudulent investment schemes:
Josip Heit (Dubai-based, believed to hold a German passport) is the central figure behind DAO1 and its token Apertum. He is a convicted fraudster from Croatia, subject to an active money laundering investigation there, and settled GSPartners fraud claims with multiple U.S. state regulators in late 2024 (settlement still ongoing as of January 2026).
This is not the first time scammers have cloned BehindMLM to deceive consumers:
DNS and WHOIS records link behindmlmreviews.com to Dmitrijs Babovskis (also known as Dmitry Babovsky), a Latvian resident connected to First Cloud SIA, the parent company of hosting provider FirstHost.
Both FirstHost (hosting) and Ascio (domain registrar) were notified of the violation of their terms of service, but did not respond or take action.
