Levarti fails to supply possession or govt data on its web site.
Levarti’s web site area (“golevarti.com”), was privately registered on July 18th, 2023.
Additional analysis reveals David Barton (aka DJ Barton) being cited as a Levarti co-founder:
Barton appears to be the face of Levarti for now. For some motive Levarti’s different co-founders are laying low.
Circa November 2022 Barton was concerned in Hapi Journey.
In December 2022 Barton was selling My Journey Ventures:
Barton was nonetheless selling My Journey Ventures as late as June 2023.
My Journey Ventures is owned by International Journey Locations LLC.
International Journey Locations LLC is a Texas firm. Company information reveal its tied to Hapi Journey, suggesting it’s a reboot.
Different MLM alternatives which have just lately featured on Barton’s YouTube channel embrace Youngevity’s 8 Minute Dealer and a few solar energy alternative.
In response to his LinkedIn profile Barton is predicated out of Texas. Presumably that is additionally the place Levarti is being operated from.
That mentioned, it needs to be famous that Levarti’s Insurance policies and Procedures state;
These Insurance policies and Procedures shall be ruled by and construed in accordance with the Legal guidelines of the
State of Florida.
I’m not studying an excessive amount of into that as a result of elsewhere in Levarti’s Insurance policies and Procedures it states:
Any Dispute not resolved in writing by negotiation or mediation shall be topic to and shall be settled completely by ultimate, binding arbitration earlier than … a panel of three arbitrators, within the Metropolis of Atascadero within the State of Floridania. [sic]
There are a number of references to “Floridania” within the doc. Atascadero is in California, so it appears Levarti might need copy and pasted another person’s Insurance policies and Procedures.
As all the time, if an MLM firm will not be overtly upfront about who’s operating or owns it, assume lengthy and arduous about becoming a member of and/or handing over any cash.

Levarti Conclusion
It’s fairly apparent the belief by DJ Barton and his companions that operating a journey themed MLM firm is extra worthwhile than selling one.
Barton promoted Hapi Travels and My Journey Ventures as “the Netflix of journey”. He’s utilizing the identical pitch for Levarti:
In reviewing Hapi Travels, Behind raised pyramid scheme considerations. The identical is true for many journey themed MLM corporations, together with Levarti.
In Levarti compliance points start with associates being pressured to buy a membership. That is “pay to play” and in MLM is a robust indicator of a pyramid scheme.
Levarti’s legitimacy hinges on there being extra non-affiliate members (retail) than associates. Given each affiliate has to have a membership, this implies the corporate wants extra retail members than associates.
Traditionally with journey themed MLM corporations this hasn’t been the case. And I’m not seeing something in Levarti to counsel it’ll be an exception.
Levarti’s journey providing is the same old discounted journey and different stuff routine. Nothing you haven’t seen earlier than.
The compensation plan is a bit completely different in that associates are paid on private gross sales, however then residuals are paid out by bonus swimming pools.
Sometimes in an MLM firm the overwhelming majority of associates populate the decrease ranks. I can’t say for certain however Rank 3 might be going to be troublesome for many Levarti associates to clear.
This can see the majority of Levarti’s residual commissions paid to prime membership referrers/recruiters who populate the upper swimming pools.
This occurs in each MLM firm however given the one different commissions paid are direct and a residual matching bonus, this might wind up paying much less on the decrease ranks than a standard direct/residual fashion compensation plan.
The excellent news is ascertaining whether or not your potential Levarti upline is operating a pyramid scheme is easy: Simply ask them if they’ve extra energetic retail memberships offered over recruited affiliate memberships.
One other purple flag is Levarti’s different co-founders being incognito. There’s most likely one thing to it however with out realizing who they’re I can’t say for certain (heavy baggage?).
SimilarWeb is monitoring a couple of 1000’s visits a month to My Journey Ventures’ web site. Whereas not useless, for what’s more likely to be working as a pyramid scheme many of the firm has most likely collapsed.
With out retail quantity necessities, Levarti is more likely to observe an analogous trajectory. The one distinction is that this time round, DJ Barton and pals will get a much bigger slice of the income pie.
Method with warning.
