Is iGenius a pyramid scheme?
Is it legit?
iGenius's corporate parent has a documented, multi-year record of US regulatory action. Report these as attributed findings:
-
CFTC (2018): The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission found that Wealth Generators, LLC (the Investview subsidiary that later became Kuvera/iGenius) acted as an unregistered Commodity Trading Advisor by offering forex and binary-options products to US retail customers, in violation of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations. Investview settled for a $150,000 penalty (order entered September 14, 2018). [web][web]
-
SEC (settled January 2025): The SEC charged Investview, Inc. with the unregistered offer and sale of securities — over $21 million raised from more than 500 investors (July 2019–June 2020) through the "Apex Program," a sale/leaseback of "Apex Packs" purportedly used to mine bitcoin. The SEC found violations of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933. Without admitting or denying the findings, Investview agreed to a cease-and-desist order and a $375,000 civil penalty. [web][web][web]
-
Separate SEC investigation: Investview disclosed in SEC filings (first in November 2021) a separate SEC investigation touching iGenius-era operations; per its August 13, 2024 10-Q, the company had produced documents in 2022 and received a supplemental request in May 2024, with the matter still open as of that filing. Status since then should be verified. [web]
These are findings/settlements (CFTC, SEC-Apex) and one ongoing investigation — distinct things. Beyond the regulators, independent MLM-watch outlets (e.g., BehindMLM) and other reviewers have characterized the model as recruitment-driven and repeatedly flagged undisclosed passive-return schemes; some review sites additionally claim European/Canadian regulator warnings, but those specific claims were not confirmed against a primary regulator source and should be treated as unverified pending a human check. [web][web]
What is iGenius?
Overview
iGenius is a financial-education and trading-tools brand that markets subscriptions to research, market commentary, and "education" across forex, cryptocurrency, and equities, distributed through a multi-level marketing (MLM) affiliate network. It is a brand of Investview, Inc., a US publicly traded fintech company (OTC/EDGAR filer, SEC CIK 862651). [web]
The iGenius brand launched on January 14, 2021, as a rebrand of Investview's earlier MLM offerings. Its lineage runs through Wealth Generators (a Utah LLC formed in 2013, which became a wholly-owned Investview subsidiary in 2017) and Kuvera Global (a 2018–2020 rebrand of Wealth Generators). [web][web]
The candidate record lists a founding year of 2017 and a US headquarters; the corporate parent (Investview) is US-based, while third-party reviews describe day-to-day iGenius operations and leadership (Chad Garner) as tied to Northern Ireland. Treat the 2017 date as the approximate Investview-subsidiary period rather than the iGenius brand launch (2021). [web]
iGenius sits in the "Crypto / Finance" category and is stored with a high risk level and unverified status. Its own model — paid subscriptions plus recruitment-based commissions, layered over trading/crypto products — places it squarely in the category of finance/crypto MLMs that regulators have repeatedly scrutinized.

How it worksThe day-to-day reality of participating
How it works
Participation has two linked sides: (1) buying a monthly membership/subscription that unlocks educational content and tools, and (2) becoming an affiliate who earns commissions by recruiting others into paid subscriptions. According to a detailed third-party review, iGenius markets bundles such as MONEYpro, University, FOREXthrive, CRYPTOcore, LEARNlive and EQUITYprime, plus a discount travel-booking engine. [web]
The same review reports that iGenius offers no retailable standalone product — affiliates are compensated based on the recruitment of new fee-paying members rather than on sales of a product to non-participant retail customers. This recruitment-centric structure is the core reason critics and some regulators have questioned the model. [web]
Separately, Investview has at times paired the membership business with investment/passive-return offerings — for example the ndau cryptocurrency, and passive crypto trading-bot programs (CryptoElite via EndoTech; later CoinRule-based "Cforce"). Coverage notes these passive-return components were not always disclosed in Investview's SEC filings. These are distinct from the education subscription and carry their own securities-law questions. [web][web]
Note: MLM-review sites report a later rebrand of iGenius (to "Conectiv"/"Conectiv" around 2025–2026); a human reviewer should confirm the current live brand and offering before publishing. [web]
What it costs to join
Cost to join
A third-party review lists four membership tiers (an initial fee, then a recurring monthly fee): a lower "Choice" tier, mid "Select" and "Premium" tiers, and a top "Elite" tier. The specific initial fees and monthly subscription amounts are not publicly documented in primary or official sources. Separate passive-return offerings (e.g., the crypto trading-bot programs) were reported to require an upfront investment minimum plus performance/upfront fees, but the specific investment minimum is not publicly documented in primary or official sources. [web]
Any joining fees, monthly minimums, and investment minimums are marked unverified because the only figures that circulate come from MLM-review blogs, not an official iGenius price sheet. A human reviewer must confirm current joining fees, monthly minimums, and any investment minimums against official, current iGenius/Investview materials before publishing any figure. What is well-established from sourcing is that participation requires an initial fee plus an ongoing monthly subscription, and that additional paid investment products have existed alongside the membership. [web][web]
How you'd make moneyThe compensation plan explained
Compensation
iGenius's affiliate plan is described by a detailed third-party review as a binary/unilevel hybrid with roughly 14 ranks (from Affiliate up to Crown Legend), advancing on recruitment and monthly "Group Volume" (GV) thresholds. The review lists these bonus components: [web]
- Recruitment/Fast-Start commissions paid when a personally recruited affiliate buys a membership.
- Rapid Fire / residual (binary) commissions — a percentage of the weaker-leg subscription-fee volume, capped by rank.
- Generational / matching bonuses — a percentage match across unilevel levels/generations, scaling with rank.
- Top-Up bonuses — guarantees for consistently active recruiters.
- X4 / X8 bonus pools — a small percentage of company-wide fee volume, gated behind personal-volume and rank requirements.
Because commission volume is generated primarily by affiliates' own recurring subscription payments and by recruiting new subscribers (rather than by sales to retail customers outside the network), payout is tightly coupled to recruitment. [web]
Caveat: the specific rank names, percentages, and caps above come from an MLM-review site, not from an official iGenius compensation document. Exact figures should be treated as unverified third-party and confirmed against current official plan documents before publishing.

Who it's for
Based on the documented model, iGenius would mainly appeal to someone specifically seeking a network-marketing income opportunity built around selling finance/crypto "education" subscriptions and who is comfortable recruiting others into recurring monthly fees. Any income for most participants depends heavily on ongoing recruitment, not on a standalone consumer product. [web]
It is a poor fit for anyone looking for regulated financial advice, a licensed brokerage, or a passive investment product: the parent company has settled US regulatory actions for offering unregistered securities (SEC, 2025) and unregistered commodity-trading advice (CFTC, 2018), and has disclosed a further open SEC investigation. Prospective participants who cannot afford to lose the initial and recurring subscription costs — or who would be relying on advertised passive returns — should weigh that regulatory record carefully. [web][web]
This section is descriptive, not advice. Anyone considering iGenius should read the primary regulator documents cited above and verify the current brand, offering, and fee structure directly before committing money.
Frequently asked
Is this opportunity verified?
This opportunity is not formally verified. In plain terms it’s listed as unverified, with status active—a label in our records, not a seal of approval from regulators. Before you send money or sign, line up recruiter promises against official filings and documents you can verify yourself.
How does this opportunity work?
To walk through mechanics step by step, you’ll need the company’s own compensation plan and product terms—we don’t have enough on this profile to do that fairly. Read those documents cover to cover, then compare to what you’re hearing in recruitment.
What are the risks?
Overall we’d put this around high risk—think stability, rule clarity, and how bumpy income might be, not a verdict on you personally. Use filings, regulatory notes, and your own situation alongside that label; a “medium” snapshot can still feel harsh or mild in real life.
Can you actually earn?
Some people do well; many don’t. Income tracks the comp plan, your effort, and market realities—not marketing examples. Ignore leaderboard screenshots as proof of what you’ll earn; they’re single cases with different costs and timing than yours.
