Mavie Global harboring wanted fugitive John Barksdale
Mavie Global appears to be harboring wanted fugitive John Barksdale.
Barksdale turned up at Mavie Global’s Dubai office, in a recent Instagram video shared by Scotty Huss.
Barksdale is standing next to and chatting with Zach Zerk (aka Zach Czerkas, Zachary Zerk). For some reason Zerk is strutting around in his pajamas.
Both Huss and Zerk are former iGenius promoters. iGenius, owned by Investview, is currently under investigation by the SEC.
Huss is a crypto bro from Miami, Florida. Later in the Instagram video it’s suggested that Huss has joined or is about to join Mavie Global.
Barksdale’s role within Mavie Global isn’t clear.
Mavie Global is a Ponzi scheme run through its Ultron token. The scam is run by co-founders Michal Prazenica and Tobias Sukenik.
Prazenica appears on a faulty large screen later in Huss’ Instagram video:
John Barksdale was indicted by US authorities last year. The DOJ alleges Barksdale’s company Ormeus Global was a $70 million Ponzi scheme.
Not unlike the Mavie Global –> ultron relationship, Ormeus Global’s Ponzi scheme was run through ormeus tokens.
In a press-release dated March 8th, 2022, the DOJ claimed Barksdale (right) was arrested by Thai authorities. It appears before he could be extradited, Barksdale fled to Dubai.
In addition to his criminal indictment, Barksdale was also sued by the SEC for Ormeus Global related securities fraud.
The SEC secured a $79 million final judgment against Barksdale back in March.
Pending his arrest, Barksdale remains a wanted fugitive.
Update 20th August 2024 – Scott Huss has been added to BehindMLM’s DMCA Wall of Shame.
I’ve received a tip off that John Barksdale is recruiting South Koreans into Ultron/Mavie Global as “Neo Anderson”.
This is an assumed cringe alias ripped off the Matrix.
I was able to verify “Neo Anderson” scamming South Koreans but I’m not 100% on the voice matching Barksdale:
youtu.be/-sDVEQ82ssU?si=96xLNn00KO_lDO7_&t=5636
In other videos featuring Barksdale he has a lower voice tone. That said, in this video he’s desperately trying to convince adults an AI-generated image of a shark is “Willie … Ultron Foundation’s defender of memecoins”.
Given Barksdale is in his 40s (50s), is still wanted by US authorities and Ultron/Mavie Global has collapsed, the raise in tone could be attributed to desperation.
The mic Barksdale is using is also trash quality so that could be contributing to raised tone.
Akita Rider we’ve already covered. The new Ultron/Big Whale scam is scam is some Akasha, aka Akasha Life. Some low-effort MLM crypto Ponzi built around AK1111 token.

Marketing directed at South Koreans is the usual “1% a day” Ponzi bullshit.
There’s also a “supernode” investment scheme. Same node investment position shit we’ve seen in other MLM crypto Ponzis.
Akita Rider is featured on the webinar so that might have been merged into what’s left of Ultron/Mavie Global. Alternatively Barksdale could be promoting both Ponzi schemes.
From the tip off I received:
Barksdale’s South Korean accomplices are Choi Y (translator) and Hyungab Eun (Chairman Chairman Shin Wang-gyun (?)). Article in the works.
edit: After watching a few more “Mr Anderson” videos, I’m 99.9% sure it is in fact John Barksdale.
edit2: John Barksadle is tied to Akita Rider – https://behindmlm.com/mlm-reviews/incufi-review-akita-rider-nft-staking-ponzi/#comment-483476
