What Is P2 Tron? A Crowdfunding Ponzi Scheme Gone Wrong!

P2 Tron is a MLM or multi-level marketing company that offers an income opportunity by letting you refer people into their program. 

P2 stands for Power of 2 and refers to their compensation plan, which uses something they call Smart Contracts. This is just a fancy way of saying MLM Matrix-Cycler using cryptocurrency. 

Note that smart contracts are legitimate parts of the cryptocurrency industry. It just so happens that P2 Tron is using them incorrectly. 

On their landing page, you won’t find any information as to who owns the company let alone who runs it. 

But their Facebook group shows two people who may be associated with the company. First, the group admin, Shawn Kim. This is a faceless profile that has been inactive for years. The account was created to promote other MLM companies such as Jeunesse BRazil and USI-Tech. 

The other person in the group is their moderator, Frank Trenado. Trenado’s account has been inactive since 2013, which leaves us to assume that this might be an old account and he’s active in a new one. 

But we do find Trenado in some of P2 Tron’s YouTube videos, as seen here. 

We don’t know the extent of Kim’s and Trenado’s involvement within P2 Tron. 

Their domain name was registered in August 2020 and was done privately (what a surprise). 

P2 Tron Product Line

There are no products or services associated with their income opportunity. You only get access to their income opportunity via membership. 

This membership fee also gets you access to a digital marketing library, which is not being sold.

Does The Product Work?

P2 Tron is your typical MLM ponzi scheme, and here’s why. 

They use the cliche and probably overused “crowdfunding” ruse to get you to think that this is legitimate. 

New members sign up, invest in these cycler positions, and cash out via the smart contracts issued within the company. The money that comes in from these new members is paid out to the existing and older members in the upper tiers of the pyramid. 

This means that P2 Tron constantly needs new member investments to stay afloat. Because they don’t have retail products or services to offer, there’s no other verifiable source of income apart from new member investments.

Contrary to what this program is making you believe, there’s only one way that you can make money from it and that’s through recruitment. 

How To Get Started with P2 Tron?

The minimum cost to join P2 Tron is $10 in TRON. 

You can also go ahead and purchase all of the levels in the cycler matrix, bringing you to a total of $5115 in TRON.

P2 Tron Compensation Plan

MLM Cycler Commissions

This compensation plan is a mix of matrix cycling and unilevel structure, which is how they track commissions. This follows a 2x1 structure which has 2 positions that you need to fill. Once the positions are filled you earn $5 back. The next levels will double the amount of investment and payout. 

Sponsoring Commissions

You get sponsoring commissions whenever your downline invests in TRON. 

You get 10% of their investment amount that they put into the tiers they join.

Pyramid Recruitment

Their sponsoring commissions are also affected by the Pyramid Recruitment, which they call Prime. 

This is basically another unilevel compensation structure that places you at the top of your pyramid. Your direct recruits are placed under you and are labeled you level 1’s. 

When your level 1’s recruit, these new members become your level 2’s, and so on. This caps out at 10 levels.

Recruitment commissions are paid out 10% of funds paid into the pyramid.

#1 Everything Involves Recruitment!

The biggest red flag here is that the compensation plan incentivizes recruitment. You get access to a digital marketing library when you sign up, but that’s not the main selling point of the program. 

This library isn’t even used to market the income opportunity. It’s only a bonus to the membership that you paid for. 

If you don’t recruit people, you will never make any money from this program.

#2 Typical Ponzi Scheme!

P2 Tron is your typical Ponzi scheme and doesn’t even try hard enough to not look like one. The reason they’re your typical Ponzi is that their only source of income comes from recruitment. 

Because they don’t have products or services, they don’t have sources of income to keep the company afloat. 

If they were a legitimate crowdfunding platform, they’d take out a commission for the funds generated by their members. But that’s not happening. 

#3 No One Except Trenado Is Making Money

And like most Ponzi schemes, there’s no one making money in this program. The only person making money here is Trenado. Their team will probably take a slice of the pie too. 

With that being said, the site’s failed anonymity is proof that they don’t want to be liable for anything. It will also allow them to close the company down, exit the funds, and rebrand into another program months down the line.

There’s nothing to like about P2 Tron. It’s just a Ponzi scheme.

P2 Tron is a Ponzi scheme as far as we’re concerned. We haven’t read anything about them shutting down or their owners being caught, so they’re probably still up and about. 

The biggest takeaway here is that they only rely on recruitment to bring in money for the company. The company being Trenado and the rest of the team members. 

The members outside of their team will never see a single dime. Their cycler compensation plan reminds us of Forsage, which was a notorious cycler Ponzi scheme that we reviewed last year. 

This program is up to no good and if you see this anywhere on your social media feed, don’t join them.

I'm not a fan of MLM, not because it's illegal or not profitable, but because of all the restrictions and the expensive costs involved.

Instead, Affiliate Marketing is my top recommended business model for anyone to make money online.

The reason is simple...

• You don't have to recruit anyone to make money
• You have the freedom to promote any products you want and not being restricted to only promote the products from one MLM company
• It's Free to get started

In fact, with affiliate marketing...
