One of my Facebook friends has consistently posted about the *Refuse To Lose* Forex traders' group which he joined recently. Since joining the group, he has relentlessly badgered his Facebook friends with asinine insults and very obvious ultra-pushy marketing... in essence, he joined a multi-level marketing scheme.

Post after post, he would share unrefined screenshots from his trades which he boasted required only copy and pasting daily information into your smartphone. This perfectly resembles the statement, "If it looks too good to be true..." Thus I began digging with @kingbum and down the sinkhole, we went.

Problems with RTL and iMarketLive was clear from day one. What started off as a plethora of tax-violation issues quickly tumbled into the multi-level marketing scheme, pyramid scheme, and even **theft**. Middle members of the multi-level marketing scheme had absolute zero licensing which would cost hefty penalties in tax law, but most people joining RTL are not the type of people to care about *tax policy*.

The second major red flag🚩 came from the associations iMarketLive had with [Banners Brokers](http://ethanvanderbuilt.com/2017/05/15/banners-broker-scammers-plead-guilty/) which plead guilty to scamming almost a hundred million dollars and was sentenced to serve two years less a day in the community and will be required to pay a $50,000 fine within two years.

Jason Brown reminds me of Brad Bodnick, the drug dealer Jordan Belfort hired to help him start Statton Oakmont. It's not surprising, then, that the company he works for is owned by the notorious scammer and financial hustler, Christopher Terry. Chris Terry has had a few confrontations with the law, especially the Securities Exchange Committee. But , don't take it from me; take it from the experts.

iMarketLive is so obviously a scam, Emmett Moore had [this ](https://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/fx-signals-live/) to say about the service:
> I didn’t even want to write this review. It’s a completely stupid and ridiculous scheme. At some point, you have to wonder–who would be foolish enough to fall for this stuff? But then I think about my own past history of running scams and hustles...and the words of PT Barnum come flooding back, “There is a sucker born every minute.”

Linda Bradford Raschke from the [LBR](http://lindaraschke.net/) money management firm and former partner of Chris Terry had this to say about her former colleague whom had helped her burn may day traders:

After reviewers, investigators, and former colleagues have all pitched in to describe how iMarketLive is an utter scam, what else would prove it? Perhaps a former colleague's [complaint](https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/imarketslive/new-york-new-york-10111/imarketslive-iml-chris-terry-pyramid-scheme-iml-sinking-ship-terminated-me-and-took-al-1301332) about working at iMarketLive after being fired from the company along with several major company leaders.

>[Chris Terry] literally told us at one point "screw my clients, they are paying, that's all that matters, I could care less if they succeed or not"

> I'm warning all of you now, the company WILL BE SHUT DOWN so I encourage all of you to pack up and leave, make sure you get paid out now and find a real company to work with...His careless attitude has cost him his company and all of us our money.

> can tell you firsthand that he is currently talking to offshore payment processors to ship all of our funds offshore, where no one can do ANYTHING if he chooses to skip town, no police, no regulator can help us if our funds are removed from the United States, which is exactly what he's doing.

James Chaston continues to describe exactly how iMarketLive scams its users. Chris Terry begins with collecting a $1 registration fee from users which collected up to $8,000 during the time Chaston left the company. When Terry gains enough money from registrations to convince an offshore processor to continue his business plan, he would have the processor take $150 out of the cards. One processor had already declined the opportunity after discovering the cards had been **stolen**.

One of iMarketLive's big promoter is Kenny Russo who has been dubbed the *Kisser of Death* for his serial activities in promoting fraudulent scams.

The final amount of scam I found before I needed to pull myself back from this steaming pile of fraud was the incorporation of BitPay. I've already written several times about BitPay's issues of claiming a *$9.99* registration fee that most users that *happen* to manage to pay in full are put on waiting lists to receive their Bitcoin debit cards for weeks to months with no answer. That is *if* they pay enough because I paid over **$25** for the registration fee and it "fell short of the needed BTC" and thus the money was **stolen** from my pockets. They don't even have a fully working customer support staff and their responses are always that the amount sent was below the minimum for a refund.

When I read that iMarketLive would **only** accept Bitpay, I knew that the two fraud masters had made some sort of scam baby together. That was the final flag I needed before I gave up trying to find any *shred* of legitamacy within the business.

What hurt me the **most** has they had the lack of dignity and self-respect to involve our troops into this fraudulent scam. Our ***TROOPS***. 

This business is beyond despicable and disgusting; I am truly sorry for the ignorant promoters and users that involve themselves with it.
