I’m Danny de Hek, my work focuses on shining a light on those running or promoting Ponzi schemes, crypto scams, and deceptive multilevel marketing operations. The goal is simple: public awareness, so mum and dad investors don’t lose their life savings or their kids’ inheritance to MLM bottom feeders masquerading as “opportunity leaders.”
In this investigation, we broadcast and dissect a live Zoom meeting hosted by Tami E. Jackson and Alicia Banton (Prayze), where the pair promoted a highly controversial crypto scheme known as Miracle Cash & More. During the call, a slick promotional video was played, encouraging attendees to invest. We broke that presentation down in real time, exposing the claims, contradictions, and red flags buried beneath the marketing hype.
What unfolded was a textbook example of how crypto MLM schemes are sold to unsuspecting victims.
Who Is Tami E. Jackson?
Tami E. Jackson is a well-known figure in the crypto MLM space and has been deeply involved with the HyperTech Group and HyperCommunity, often appearing alongside prominent promoters such as Sam Lee. HyperTech’s flagship project, HyperVerse, has since collapsed and is widely regarded as one of the most damaging crypto Ponzi schemes of recent years.
HyperVerse relied heavily on recruitment-driven returns rather than any legitimate external revenue or product sales. As with most pyramid-style schemes, once recruitment slowed, the model became unsustainable and eventually imploded, leaving thousands of investors out of pocket.
Despite this collapse, Tami Jackson has continued to surface in new ventures, repackaging the same recruitment-heavy model under different branding, platforms, and narratives.
Who Is Alicia Banton (Prayze)?
Alicia Banton, also known professionally as Alicia Prayze, is the CEO of Prayze London and a British entrepreneur of Jamaican descent. She has been active in network marketing and business development circles for years and has served as a director for companies including OMESA Universal Limited and The Prayze Project Ltd.
In addition to her business ventures, Banton maintains a presence in the music industry under the name Alicia Prayze. Her involvement in Miracle Cash & More placed her alongside Tami E. Jackson in promoting a crypto opportunity that raised serious concerns about legitimacy, compliance, and investor protection.
The Red Flags Behind Miracle Cash & More
Dubious Claims and Misrepresentation
Miracle Cash & More made extraordinary financial claims, including a purported valuation of $3.5 billion, despite reportedly generating around $10,000 in revenue. These figures were based on hypothetical projections rather than audited financial performance.
The company also claimed partnerships with well-known crypto firms such as Coinbase and Bitpanda, none of which were substantiated. Additionally, promoters stated that Miracle Cash & More had acquired a company called Abu Bambu in Spain, a claim for which no verifiable evidence exists.
Regulatory Red Flags
The operation claimed legitimacy while operating under a license that had already been revoked by the Estonian Money Laundering Bureau. It also lacked authorisation from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), despite marketing to UK-based investors.
These regulatory failures alone should have been enough to deter any serious investor.
Multi-Level Marketing Structure and Commissions
Miracle Cash & More operated using a multi-level marketing commission structure, where approximately 30% of investor funds were diverted to commissions before any capital was supposedly allocated toward trading or investment activity.
This is a hallmark of pyramid-style schemes and creates a system where profits depend on constant recruitment rather than genuine economic activity.
Fake Stores and No Verifiable Operations
Promoters claimed the company had physical retail locations in major cities worldwide. No evidence was ever provided to support these claims, and no verifiable storefronts could be independently confirmed.
History of Fraud Among Key Figures
Key individuals connected to Miracle Cash & More, including Hakan Torehan, have a documented history of embezzlement allegations and fleeing legal jurisdictions. When leadership teams carry this kind of baggage, it’s rarely accidental.
Final Thoughts
Based on our investigation, Miracle Cash & More displayed all the classic indicators of a crypto MLM scam: exaggerated claims, false partnerships, regulatory issues, commission-heavy structures, and promoters with questionable histories.
This live Zoom meeting provided a rare, unfiltered look at how these schemes are sold in real time. The language may change, the branding may evolve, but the underlying playbook remains the same.
If you’re considering any opportunity promoted by individuals linked to schemes like this, stop, research, and verify everything. Scams thrive in urgency and ignorance.
Stay vigilant. Ask hard questions. And don’t let slick presentations override basic common sense.
If this investigation helped you, share it with others. Public awareness is the strongest defence we have.
