Infinity Grid was a gifting scheme launched in 2022 by none other than serial scammer Jacques Marais. The scheme, like many before it, eventually collapsed — not due to bad luck or external forces, but because it simply ran out of new victims to exploit. Classic Ponzi mechanics: when recruitment dies, so does the cash flow.
Despite its failure, Marais isn’t done yet. In fact, he seems eager to revive the scheme. On a May 13th webinar attended by just 28 people, Marais delivered a masterclass in gaslighting. Rather than owning up to the structure and inevitable downfall of Infinity Grid, he attempted to reframe the losses with manipulation and deflection.
It appears Marais has burned through whatever he pocketed during the first run, and now he’s ready to spin a new narrative to reel in more participants. His explanation of what happened — and why people lost money — was nothing short of audacious.
Stay alert. The scam may be rebranding, but the con remains the same.
“It’s been ages since I’ve seen all of you. Life’s been busy,” Jacques Marais told a small group of followers during a May 13th Infinity Grid webinar. “But yah, I didn’t really ever think that IG would be done. And obviously not for so long.”
What followed was a carefully crafted performance — one part emotional appeal, one part misdirection. Marais promised to explain why Infinity Grid collapsed and what happened afterward. But instead of accountability, listeners were fed a dose of vague excuses and denial.
At his most “honest,” Marais claimed the platform failed because people “didn’t want it.” He added, “Sometimes you’ve got to shock the system and say, ‘Listen guys, this is a reality. IG could go away. If people don’t want it, then there’s no point in paying those [membership] bills every month.’”
He briefly took responsibility, saying, “Which squarely falls on my shoulders. Which has been very, very tough.” But this moment of self-awareness was fleeting.
Marais quickly shifted tone, returning to promotion:
“IGT (Infinity Grid Traditional) is absolutely beautiful, absolutely perfect. There is not a flaw in IG. There’s absolutely not a flaw in IG. It’s a stunning, stunning program.”
He then turned to a metaphor — describing promoters as “bees” and himself as “the beekeeper.” Based on the webinar, most of these “bees” appear to be women still clinging to hope.
In short: the sales pitch hasn’t changed. The system failed, but rather than acknowledge the flawed gifting model, Marais insists the only issue is people’s lack of belief. The scam may be collapsing, but the spin goes on.

Marais Dodges Accountability as New Schemes Emerge
The current buy-in for Infinity Grid appears to be set at $80. Based on this figure and the number of remaining participants, it seems Jacques Marais is aiming to extract at least $4,800 monthly to keep the illusion of momentum alive.
But Infinity Grid isn’t his only hustle. Marais is also tied to Bee Nation, yet another gifting scheme that launched after Infinity Grid — and has already collapsed.
During the May 13th webinar, one Infinity Grid promoter asked Marais directly how much money had been gifted into the program and how much had been paid out. Rather than offer transparency, Marais brushed off the question, quipping: “It’s none of people’s beeswax.”
Shockingly, this evasive attitude didn’t deter some supporters. One Prosperity Grid member thanked Marais on the call, saying the community “need[ed] a loving slap on the face.”
For Marais, deflection and charm remain key tools in keeping the scam alive — even as the hive continues to crumble.
