Zeus Funding, aka Zeus 12X, doesn’t appear to have a website. Instead, the MLM opportunity is run through a shady Telegram group named “@zeusinstant”.
Neither Zeus Funding’s official marketing material or its Telegram group discloses who’s behind the company.
On a September 15th Zeus Funding marketing webinar hosted by Jason Regan from Success in Living. Zeus Funding is represented by Michael Eder:
Elsewhere Eder cites himself as a co-founder and Managing Partner of Zeus Funding and something called Zyra:
As per his Instagram profile, Eder is based out of Austria:
Zeus Funding claims to be a partner of Tag Markets:
To that end, in the previously Zeus Funding webinar, Tag Markets is represented by Jared Esguerra:
Esguerra is cited as Tag Markets’ owner. On social media, Esguerra represents he works in “financial services” and is based out of Dubai;
Zeus Funding marketing material cites Kevin Marin Valez as co-founder and CEO of Tag Markets:
On social media, Valez claims to be a “digital creator” and “business administrator” based out of Colombia:
Freihofer is purportedly from Germany. This might tie into Zeus Funding’s German language focus.
Update 24th October 2025 – Niklas Freihofer (as Nik) has begun appearing on marketing webinars as owner of Tag Markets:
Another name we can attach to Tag Markets is Leonhard Wolman, author of Tag Markets’ “macro briefing” documents.
Based on Eder being based out of Austria, it follows Zeus Funding is operated from Austria.
As per the “Kevin Marin” marketing slide above, Tag Markets is represented to be operating from Columbia [sic] and Dubai.
Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.
BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

Zeus Funding’s Products
Zeus Funding has no retailable products or services.
Promoters are only able to market Zeus Funding promoter membership itself.
Zeus Funding’s Compensation Plan
Zeus Funding promoters invest USD equivalents in cryptocurrency.
Zeus Funding markets various investment plans, each pitching passive returns:
- Zeus 12X Amplify – invest $200 or more and receive a 10x funded account capped at $1.2 million, on which “passive profits” are paid
- Strategy Dynamix – invest $250 or more and receive a $3000 funded account on which “profits from rising and falling markets” are paid
- Akropolis – invest $200 or more and receive a $2400 funded account on which “copy trading” returns are paid
Note Zeus Funding charges a 20 to 30% performance fee on ROI payments.
The MLM side of Zeus Funding pays on fees charged to recruited promoters.
Passive Pool 12X
Zeus Funding pays the Passive Pool 12X through a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places a promoter at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited promoter placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 promoters recruit new promoters, they are placed on level 2 of the original promoter’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 promoters recruit new promoters, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
Zeus Funding caps the Passive Pool 12x at five unilevel team levels.
The Passive Pool 12x, purportedly generated by trading fees, is paid out across these five levels as follows:
- level 1 (personally recruited promoters) – $5
- level 2 – $1
- levels 3 to 5 – $1
Bonus Pool 12X
Zeus Funding claims the Bonus Pool 12X is paid out as “50% of the performance fee” it charges promoters.
The Bonus Pool 12X is paid out using the same unilevel team used to pay the Passive Pool 12X, capped down three levels:
- level 1 – 25%
- level 2 – 15%
- level 3 – 10%
Joining Zeus Funding
Zeus Funding promoter membership is tied to creation of a Tag Markets account.
Full participation in Zeus Funding’s MLM opportunity requires a minimum $100 investment, made through a Tag Markets account.
Zeus Funding and Tag Markets solicit investment in various cryptocurrencies; bitcoin, ethereum, tether and USD coin.
Zeus Funding Conclusion
Zeus Funding is another instance of investment fraud being committed through Tag Markets.
Zeus Funding pitches consumers on passive returns, purportedly generated via various trading investment schemes:
In offering automated passive returns to consumers, Zeus Funding and Tag Markets are required to register with financial regulators in jurisdictions they solicit investment in. Specifically, securities and commodities regulators.
Zeus Funding fails to provide evidence it has registered with financial regulators in any jurisdiction. Tag Markets is owned by parent company T.M. Financials Ltd, a company incorporated in Mauritius.
This corresponds with two purported financial licenses, which outside of Mauritius itself are meaningless.
Tag Markets’ website also cites “Tag Markets Ltd”, a purported Saint Lucia shell company.
Tag Market only having ties to shell companies in two dodgy jurisdictions is an immediate reg flag. To that end Tag Markets has already attracted the attention of financial regulators.
Dutch authorities issued a T.M. Financials Ltd fraud warning in July 2025:
While Tag Markets solicits USD equivalent investment in cryptocurrency, the company also accepts bank transfers for euros and other currencies.
This takes place through a SettleGo Solutions bank account, registered in T.M. Financials’ name:
