In addition to prison time, the court ordered the couple to pay $4.3 million in restitution to victims affected by the scheme.
Breakdown of Sentencing Terms
The court issued separate sentences across nine counts:
Counts 1 and 2: 240 months each, served consecutivelyCounts 3 to 6: 240 months each, served concurrentlyCounts 7 to 9: 120 months each, served concurrently
Because Counts 1 and 2 run consecutively while the remaining counts run concurrently, the total effective sentence equals 40 years in prison.

lessings In No Time (BINT) was a COVID-19-era MLM gifting scheme that reportedly generated around $29 million. The operation was promoted as a financial opportunity but later faced allegations of fraud and misrepresentation.
In 2020, the founders settled civil fraud charges with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for $9.7 million. Criminal charges followed shortly after, leading to a federal indictment.
Legal Proceedings and Conviction
The case progressed through several legal stages:
February 2025: The Moores entered guilty pleasOctober 2025: The pleas were rejected by the courtJanuary 2026: A trial was heldJanuary 9, 2026: Jury convicted both defendants on all counts
During the trial, the couple represented themselves with standby counsel, after adopting sovereign citizen-style legal arguments that were repeatedly dismissed by the court.
Sentencing Phase and Court Remarks
At sentencing, the court reviewed the pre-sentence report (PSR), noting that both parties claimed limited understanding of its contents.
The judge ultimately proceeded with sentencing after reviewing all findings, leading to the final 40-year prison term.
