A federal jury found Marlon and LaShonda Moore guilty of conspiracy, multiple wire-fraud counts and money laundering for operating ‘Blessings In No Time’ (BINT), a pandemic-era pyramid scheme that prosecutors say defrauded more than 10,000 people of roughly $25 million. The couple face decades in prison on the criminal counts.

Marlon and LaShonda Moore were convicted by a federal jury in North Texas on charges tied to operating ‘Blessings In No Time’ (BINT), a pandemic-era pyramid and investment fraud that prosecutors say bilked over 10,000 victims of about $25 million. The Jan. 10, 2026 verdict followed a multiweek trial in which the government presented evidence of recruitment practices, false investment promises, and mechanisms for concealing payouts to earlier investors. Jurors found the pair guilty of conspiracy, multiple counts of wire fraud, and money laundering; sentencing guidelines suggest potential decades-long prison terms on combined counts. Prosecutors framed BINT as a classic Ponzi-style operation dressed as an investment or blessing program, using testimonial marketing and cross-state payment flows to attract new participants and sustain payouts. The case underscores sustained federal attention on large, multi-state investment frauds that proliferated during and after the pandemic and the use of online recruitment channels to reach a wide pool of victims. Victim restitution and asset forfeiture proceedings are expected to follow as authorities seek to recover funds for defrauded participants.
