FRISCO, Texas - A Texas couple was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years each in federal prison for operating a fraudulent chain-referral pyramid scheme that prosecutors said cheated more than 10,000 people nationwide out of more than $30 million during the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID scheme What we know: LaShonda Moore, 38, and Marlon Moore, 39, of Frisco, were convicted by a jury in January 2026 on conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering charges stemming from their operation of "Blessings in No Time," or BINT, an illegal pyramid scheme that ran from June 2020 to June 2021.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, the Moores launched BINT during the pandemic and recruited participants through weekly livestream broadcasts viewed by thousands of people across the United States during COVID-19 shutdowns.
False promises What they're saying: Prosecutors said the scheme falsely promised participants an 800% return on a $1,400 investment and guaranteed refunds to dissatisfied members.

Fresco TX is the same town as the black white track trial………what is in the water down there
LaShonda ...
Roscoe is supposedly the fastest city in America
So of course it’s going to attract bottom of the barrel ghetto scum
ah man, don’t say it’s so, Jake!!!
Oh, LaShonda, how could you?
It aired on the Oprah Winfrey Channel, something the article conveniently did not mention.
How many of the suckers are happy Austin is dead and pissed ‘Malo got 35 years even though the thieves got 40 for not murder? Ghetto logic is difficult to follow.
Oh my, how usual.

DJ ASAP, wife used race to scam Black people. Victims may now see relief.
A financial crime has brought a longer sentence than stabbing a teenager to death. smh

Marlon Moore, also known as DJ ASAP, and his wife, LaShonda, promised Black investors looking to build generational wealth returns as high as 800 percent if they joined their “blessing loom.”
I'd expect nothing else, ever since they used to run those State Farm commercials with psycho women giving Jake free pizzas and steaks and whatnot, all undoubtedly stolen from their employers. "Jake's on the take," is what my wife would say when one of those ads came on.
Fraudsters get 40 years. A murderer gets 35 years.
“Justice” is weird.
LaShonda....NO NEED TO LOOK,
Promised participants an 800% return on a $1,400 investment and guaranteed refunds.
Pssst buddy wan’t to buy a watch?
They only lasted about a year?
Cue George Costanza:
“Was that wrong?”
They have 40 years to think back on how nice was that one year.
