Dishonest.wiki is an OSINT wiki focused on tracking complex Ponzi, MLM, and crypto schemes and exposing the individuals operating them.

The grifters behind these schemes exploit victims without guilt nor shame. They often front, own, or sponsor charities and worthy causes as an extra layer to hide behind.

They are organised career criminals that will prey on the financially illiterate and steal pensions from the elderly. They will take all of your life savings and they will convince you to take a second bond on your home. They are highly convincing and manipulative and they will steal every last cent you have without remorse.

Don't feel sorry for them, be cautious and be careful, and always perform your own due diligence.

Remember, you are dealing with dangerous organised criminals, if it sounds too good to be true, it normally is.
