GV stands for “Group Quantity”. Group quantity is gross sales quantity derived by subscription purchases by an affiliate, their retail clients and downline associates (immediately and not directly recruited).
Residual Commissions (unilevel)
A unilevel compensation construction locations an affiliate on the high of a unilevel group, with each personally recruited affiliate positioned immediately below them (degree 1):
If any degree 1 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 2 of the unique affiliate’s unilevel group.
If any degree 2 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 3 and so forth and so forth down a theoretical infinite variety of ranges.
Every Be Infinity subscription generates a certain quantity of unilevel group GV.
Be Infinity pays residual commissions as a rank differential, starting from 4% at Affiliate to 25% at Double Black Diamond and better.
- Associates earn a 4% residual fee fee
- Visionarys earn a 6% residual fee fee

25% is paid out out on all unilevel group quantity, with increased ranked associates gathering the distinction paid throughout decrease ranks.
E.g. a Sapphire in your downline generates 100 GV. They earn 12% out of the 25% paid out on that quantity as a residual fee.
This leaves 13% nonetheless to be paid out (25% minus 12%).
The system searches upline throughout the unilevel group for a Ruby or increased ranked affiliate. When one is discovered, they obtain their rank residual fee fee.
If there’s any leftover nonetheless to be paid out, the system continues to look additional upline. This continues till the utmost 25% differential is paid out to a Double Black Diamond or increased.
Utilizing the instance above, if the following highest ranked affiliate discovered upline was a Purple Diamond, they’d obtain 10% (22% minus the 12% already paid out).
This nonetheless leaves 3%, which might go to upline Black Diamond and better ranked associates.
Observe that anytime a Double Black Diamond or increased ranked affiliate generates or is discovered upline throughout the unilevel group, they both obtain the complete 25% residual fee fee or no matter is left to be paid out. Nothing is handed up.
Matching Bonus
Be Infinity pays a Matching Bonus on residual unilevel commissions earned by downline associates.
The Matching Bonus is paid out on residual commissions earned down two unilevel group ranges (two ranges of recruitment):
- degree 1 (personally recruited associates) – 9%

The primary degree of the binary group homes two positions. The second degree of the binary group is generated by splitting these first two positions into one other two positions every (4 positions).
Subsequent ranges of the binary group are generated as required, with every new degree housing twice as many positions because the earlier degree.
Positions within the binary group are stuffed by way of direct and oblique recruitment of associates. Observe there is no such thing as a restrict to how deep a binary group can develop.
Be Infinity pays residual binary commissions in accordance with cycles.
A cycle is generated when 200 GV is matched on each side of the binary group.
Residual binary commissions are calculated month-to-month. How a lot a Be Infinity affiliate earns per cycle generated throughout the binary group is set by rank:
- Associates to Influencers earn $15 per cycle

Excessive Efficiency Pool
Be Infinity takes 5% of weekly company-wide generated PV and locations it into the Excessive Efficiency Pool.

Be Infinity Conclusion
Be Infinity is a continuation of buying and selling schemes Christian Nickel has been selling since 2017.
Nickel seems to have come to the inevitable conclusion that working the schemes is way extra worthwhile than selling them.
On the core of Be Infinity is a passive buying and selling bot. The whole lot else round that’s fluff, current solely to funnel subscribers in the direction of the buying and selling bot.
Be Infinity’s buying and selling bot is your typical “lulz can’t contact our cash!” scheme.
A software program developed by Infinity that’s lent to the client as a pure service for a month-to-month charge.
The service features a software program which the client can customise individually. The client has 100% management over the settings of the software program.
The managed cash is invested right here with an impartial dealer, with out connection to Infinity.
Regardless of makes an attempt to faux Be Infinity isn’t management of funds positioned below management of the bot, as supplier of the bot, Be Infinity workouts full management over allotted funds.
As I wish to remind defenders of “lulz can’t contact our cash!” schemes, not your bot, not your trades.
From a regulatory standpoint, the pooling of cash below management of a single entity, Be Infinity and its buying and selling bot on this occasion, for the aim of producing a passive return, constitutes a securities providing.
It ought to be apparent Nickel didn’t get up in the future and discover a buying and selling bot below his mattress. The supply of Be Infinity’s buying and selling bot just isn’t disclosed to shoppers, that is one other regulatory purple flag.
Regardless of selling buying and selling schemes for 4 years, that Nickel is aware of nothing about buying and selling is apparent.
The primary iteration of Be Infinity (Nickel’s downline from beforehand promoted scams), noticed him funnel buyers into Anthony Norman’s LIQ token Ponzis.
LIQ tokens led to monetary catastrophe for all concerned. However by then Nickel had obtained a buying and selling bot from someplace and rebooted Be Infinity.
Be Infinity doesn’t disclose what their buying and selling bot really trades. Assuming it’s crypto and/or foreign exchange, this requires Be Infinity to register with monetary regulators.
SimilarWeb at the moment tracks 84% of Be Infinity web site visitors from Germany. That is according to Nickel selling scams to a largely German viewers through the years.
Different sources of visitors, as of August 2022, are France (7%), Switzerland (5%) and Austria (3%, down 66% month on month).
Be Infinity makes no illustration it has registered with monetary regulators in any of those international locations.
Because of this, at a minimal, Be Infinity is committing securities fraud.
Upon consideration Nickel made cash selling related unlawful schemes since 2017, it doesn’t take a genius to determine why he’s fled to Dubai.
On the MLM aspect of issues Be Infinity deploys retail pseudo-compliance, undercut by the very fact there’s no differentiation between recruited affiliate subscribers.
A buyer is any individual within the system who has bought solely buyer merchandise and never an “affiliate package deal”.
If a distributor purchases a buyer product, he/she is going to nonetheless be known as a distributor however counts as buyer in the direction of the tip buyer ratio.
There’s additionally a 55% “buyer ratio” in place, once more undercut by together with recruited associates as clients:
Each energetic individual inside the construction counts as a “product person”, and each inactive distributor with an ongoing affiliate package deal counts as a “distributor”.
The system checks whether or not an individual is energetic or a distributor has a working affiliate package deal at 11:59 PM EST on the final day of the corresponding qualification interval.
Throughout the Unilevel construction, there should be greater than 55% “product person” to be eligible for payout.
The above courses solely associates with out an Academy subscription as inactive. Which is attention-grabbing as a result of that’s the one time within the compensation plan that definition applies.
It’s additionally attention-grabbing in that if a Be Infinity’s downline is generally associates with out an Academy subscription, they supposedly aren’t getting paid.
This simply additional units up Be Infinity working as a pyramid scheme.
“Lulz can’t contact our cash!” schemes sometimes finish with the bot blowing up, or admins pulling an “insert excuse right here” exit-scam.
That’s on high of math guaranteeing the vast majority of individuals in MLM pyramid schemes lose cash.
To sum up Be Infinity;
We’ve got an proprietor with a observe report of selling scams, Dubai, a Hong Kong shell firm, securities fraud, commodities fraud and pyramid fraud.
You understand how this ends.
