COMPOUND FRAUD INFRASTRUCTURE

MMA GURU shows a ~2x annual growth multiplier that's too consistent to be organic. Organic growth is chaotic. Purchased growth is smooth like an investment portfolio.

THE KEY INSIGHT: Systematic 2x Annual Growth

COMPOUND FRAUD EVIDENCE SUMMARY

Fraud Indicators Detected:

  • ⚠️ Consistent ~2x annual growth (organic: 0.5x-8x variance)
  • ⚠️ Low multiplier variance (smooth growth curve)
  • ⚠️ Zero decline years across 6 years of data
  • ⚠️ Floor rises systematically with average
  • ⚠️ Investment-like compound growth rate

What Organic Looks Like:

  • ✅ Bisping: 0.54x → 0.76x → 0.83x → 1.21x (declines + recovery)
  • ✅ Lucas: 6.29x → 1.40x → 1.18x (viral spike then normalize)
  • ✅ Ariel: 8.40x → 0.03x → 5.61x → 0.74x (chaotic swings)
  • ✅ Unpredictable, volatile, REAL audience behavior

VERDICT: This is not random view buying. This is COMPOUND FRAUD INFRASTRUCTURE - a systematic operation scaled annually to simulate organic growth.
