Investor Alert
If you found this looking for information about Universe Pro, this site compiles verifiable data and the context almost no one tells you: the background of the people promoting it and the pattern that already repeated itself with Omega Pro and BitHarvest.
In summary: Universe Pro is an invite-only DeFi platform run by an unverifiable owner ("Mr. Phil") from Kuala Lumpur, with no registration with the SEC or the CFTC. Several of its Latin American promoters previously promoted BitHarvest (flagged as a Ponzi scheme) and Omega Pro, whose founders were charged by the US DOJ with a $650 million fraud.

What is Universe ProUniverse Pro presents itself as a decentralized finance (DeFi) and on-chain trading platform. Its website greets you with the tagline "The DeFi Universe Is Live" and a token panel with eye-catching gain percentages. So far, just one of thousands.
The problem isn't the design — it's what appears, and what doesn't, when you scratch the surface. These are the signals that match, one by one, with BitHarvest, another project of the same type publicly flagged as a Ponzi scheme:
You can't register freely: the form requires a mandatory "referral code". Just like BitHarvest, the network grows only through those already inside.
Operations point to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — exactly the same jurisdiction from which BitHarvest operated.
The face of the project is a "Mr. Phil", with no verifiable background. With BitHarvest, it was also impossible to know who was truly responsible or who to hold accountable.
Why it matters A serious company names who runs it, where it's legally accountable, and lets anyone register. When access is invite-only and the person in charge is anonymous, there's no one to turn to if the money disappears. That is, literally, what happened with BitHarvest.
One of the most repeated arguments by those promoting Universe Pro is that the platform has an MSB (Money Services Business) license registered with FinCEN, the US financial regulator. It sounds official. It sounds safe. It isn't.
An MSB is an anti-money laundering registration. It is not an investment license, nor a guarantee that your money is protected. It's the equivalent of a company saying "we completed the basic paperwork to avoid money laundering". FinCEN itself states this directly on its official site:
"FinCEN does not approve or endorse any business that has registered as an MSB, and any such claim may be part of a scam."
Source: FinCEN.gov — MSB Registration
What the MSB license does NOT guarantee:
FinCEN does not verify the information a company declares when registering. Anyone can fill out the form.
The MSB covers anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, not investor protection. That falls under the SEC or CFTC — and Universe Pro is not registered with either.
Registering an MSB is an online process open to any company. Having one says nothing about the legitimacy of the business.
In short: presenting an MSB as a trust guarantee is, in the words of the US regulator itself, a signal that may be part of a scam. The SEC and CFTC — who actually regulate investments — do not endorse Universe Pro.
This is not opinion. In 2025, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) filed charges against the founders and promoters of Omega Pro for operating a multilevel marketing scheme that, according to the indictment, defrauded investors of more than $650 million.

BitHarvest was publicly described as a Ponzi scheme: it sold a "mining" device (the BitBooster) that the company itself kept under its custody, while users were pushed to recruit others to earn more. It operated, just like Universe Pro, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (Criptofácil)
Since there was no subsequent public legal process confirming the real identity of these individuals or who actually owned the company, the point of showing this material is not to exhibit them, but to document the pattern — impressive-sounding names and titles in their own promotional material, with no independent way to verify who is behind it.
If an investment opportunity checks several of these boxes, stop:
No real investment guarantees fixed, high returns. Risk always exists.
If your benefit depends on bringing more people in rather than on the product, that's the hallmark of a pyramid.
"Limited spots", "get in before it goes up". The rush prevents you from thinking.
Not listed in your country's financial authority registry.
It's unclear who runs the company or where the money comes from.
Putting money in is easy; getting it out gets harder every time.
The following list identifies people who, according to the collected material (videos, streams and their own posts), appear promoting Universe Pro or other related projects. We link to their public profiles so you can verify for yourself. We do not reproduce their photographs. This section presents verifiable facts and, where indicated, the author's opinions clearly labeled as such.
Author's opinion Based on how they present themselves in the collected material, this is not just a list of five isolated names: there is a hierarchy. Hugo Suah appears as the regional leader operating from Asia who reportedly brought Oscar Carrasco into the BitHarvest business, thus initiating the expansion into Latin America. Oscar Carrasco, in turn, built his own team of promoters in the region — the other three names on this list. But these five are only those who appear in the collected material. Behind projects like Universe Pro there are many more people — in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and other countries — who continue to actively promote these types of schemes with the same promises and the same pattern.

Author's opinion
BitHarvest lasted only two or three years. Those who lost the most were people who invested in the final months before the collapse. As far as we know, none of the promoters on this list publicly responded to those losses: there was silence. Months later, several of them reappeared promoting a new project — Universe Pro — with virtually identical offerings, including the promise that the project was "set" to last several years.
In our view, the pattern repeats because the income model of these promoters does not depend on you making money, but on you continuing to recruit so they can rise in rank. That's why it's common for them to approach you first with "personal growth" or "abundance mindset" content: it's not necessarily genuine interest in you — it's the entry point into the recruitment funnel.
Author's testimony and opinion
I publish this alert anonymously for my own safety and my family's. Everything verifiable is linked to public sources so it doesn't depend on my word: you can check every fact for yourself.
My first contact with this type of project was Omega Pro. I invested approximately $1,000 convinced it was a real opportunity. The company collapsed months later. I recovered nothing. I told myself it was an isolated case and moved on.
In March 2025 a friend told me about BitHarvest. I've followed Bitcoin and Ethereum for years, and the first thing I evaluated was whether the model made technical sense. It wasn't forex trading with promises of impossible percentages: it was mining. The Bitcoin they supposedly generated was freshly mined, and the blockchain is public — in theory, auditable. I did my research, compared, asked questions. And I concluded it could be real.
I didn't enter just as an investor. I built a network because I genuinely believed I could help other people grow too. That is what weighs on me most today: I didn't do it to harm anyone. But that's also how these projects work — they sell you financial freedom, that traditional employment can't give you freedom, that you can do it. They work on your mindset until you believe them blindly. And once you trust, recruitment doesn't feel like recruitment: it feels like helping.
I had been promoting BitHarvest for five or six months when the signs started: missed events, rumors we would have previously dismissed but could no longer ignore. In October 2025 we stopped promoting. The following month, the company collapsed.
Before that happened, a group of us traveled to Kuala Lumpur to validate the offices in person. It was our way of certifying the company was real before continuing. When we arrived, they wouldn't let us in. Excuse after excuse, no access. We returned having seen nothing. Upon our return, the company announced it was withholding all withdrawals.
The official excuse was that a Bitcoin Core update had left the miners unable to function. They promised to refund the capital. They didn't. They promised to return at least what was retained. Also nothing. The company simply ceased to exist.
Today I carry a debt of more than $50,000. It affected my family. We are still dealing with the economic consequences. I'm not writing this for sympathy — I'm writing it so it's part of the complete picture.
When I entered Omega Pro, when I entered BitHarvest, I didn't have the information I have today. No one showed me the full pattern. This site exists so that you do — before deciding, not after.
I swore I would never build another network like that. The best thing anyone can build is their own business, without putting other people's money at risk or playing with anyone's naivety.
Everyone decides what to do with their own money. But if you're going to invest, make it money you can completely afford to lose — with the same willingness as buying something that might not work out. Don't borrow. Don't mortgage anything. Don't use your family's money. It happened to me, and the loan is still very real long after the company stopped existing.
These models can benefit those who enter first, when the base that sustains them is still growing. For most who enter later, the result is a loss. And nobody who sits at the top of the structure loses with you when it all falls apart.
There is no public judicial ruling on Universe Pro at the time of publishing this. What is documented is that several people promoting it were involved in Omega Pro, whose founders were charged by the US DOJ with a $650 million fraud. That is why we recommend extreme caution.
Its founders and promoters were charged in the US with operating a multilevel scheme that defrauded investors of more than $650 million, with charges for wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering.
Guaranteed high returns, earnings from recruiting others, pressure to join, lack of regulation, opacity about who runs the company, and difficulty withdrawing money are the classic signals.
Our opinion, based on the evidence documented on this site: we do not recommend investing. Universe Pro requires a referral code to join, operates from Kuala Lumpur (the same jurisdiction as BitHarvest), its owner ("Mr. Phil") is not verifiable, and it is not registered with the SEC or the CFTC. Its "MSB license" is an anti-money-laundering registration that, per FinCEN itself, does not endorse any company.
Publicly, only a "Mr. Phil" is named, with no last name or verifiable background. There is no independent way to confirm who controls the platform or who to hold accountable if the money disappears — the same pattern of opacity BitHarvest had.
