Blessings in No Time (BINT)
Summary
Blessings in No Time (BINT) was an illegal chain-referral pyramid scheme operated by LaShonda Moore (38) and Marlon Moore (39) of Frisco, Texas, from June 2020 to June 2021. The scheme defrauded more than 10,000 people nationwide out of more than $30 million by falsely promising 800% returns on $1,400 investments, and specifically targeted the African American community through weekly livestream broadcasts during the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2026, a federal jury convicted the Moores on conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering charges; in June 2026, they were each sentenced to 40 years in federal prison and ordered to pay more than $4.3 million in restitution.
