Michelle Oneil, the founder of Legacy Builders, launched the illegal gifting scheme in 2024 under the name Digital Growth Community. Oneil started Legacy Builders after Infinity Processing System, another illegal gifting scheme she had promoted, failed. The recruitment for Legacy Builders peaked in the middle of 2024, and it eventually collapsed either at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. Oneil, who claims to have embezzled “over $5 million” through illegal gifting schemes, announced Legacy Builders 2.0 about a week ago.
In a debut video posted on March 12th, Oneil claims, “We have over fifty thousand in the community now but I noticed a gap,” refusing to acknowledge that Legacy Builders was an unlawful gifting scheme that eventually fell apart due to dwindling recruiting. Additionally, there was a demand for individuals to acquire more social media and attraction marketing abilities.
Legacy 2.0 offers certification opportunities. 100% profit resale rights are certified. Accredited in comprehending how to get clients to you naturally.
In case it wasn’t clear, no approved institution recognizes the “certification” that was received via Legacy Builders. It’s a pointless marketing gimmick that has no significance outside of Legacy Builders.
According to Oneil, Legacy Builders has been used to make “over $29 million” in giving payments to date. Oneil claims that South Africa was “one of the most popular countries” where Legacy Builders expanded.
Apart from accusing victims of failing to locate fresh victims to defraud, Legacy Builders 2.0 seems to be a complete reimagining of the original gifting scam.
Legacy Builders offers gifting payouts in tiers ranging from $100 to $900. To be eligible for payouts across tiers, participants must purchase in at each one.
Payments given to ineligible members are usually passed up to the first qualified participant in an MLM gifting program. Oneil retains these passed-up giving money for herself in Legacy Builders.
Oneil’s personal haul amounts to almost 20% of total Legacy Builder participant monies, according to the figures she gave.
“Legacy Builders is a far worse scam than your typical MLM gifting scheme because Oneil keeps passed up gifting payments.”
Blessings In No Time (BINT) was the most recent significant MLM gifting scam in the United States. In 2021, the FTC filed a complaint alleging that BINT defrauded customers out of tens of millions of dollars at the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak.
In 2023, BINT owners LaShonda and Marlon Moore (right) paid $9.7 million to resolve the FTC’s fraud claims.
The Moores were charged with further crimes relating to BINT later that year.
In February 2025, the husband-wife gifting scammers entered a guilty plea; punishment is still pending.
Oneil acknowledges that Legacy Builders has cheated tens of thousands of customers out of tens of millions of dollars, mirroring BINT.
