Delta Onedeltaoneai.comLaunched 17 September 2026Do not invest.
Delta One presents itself as a “multi-strategy trading engine” that earns money every day. It went live on 17 September 2026, while Nexora is still online and five of Nexora’s tokens have already collapsed by 89–99.99%. According to Nexora’s victims, John Barksdale is behind Delta One and steers the operation in the background, while other people act as its public faces.
- Indicted in New York over a $70 million crypto fraud
- $79 million SEC judgment · no court appearance on record
- Identified by its victims as the man behind Nexora
Victims say he steers Delta One from the background, while other people act as its public faces. Delta One’s founders call shows a Zoom participant named “Nexora Support”.
Our advice: do not deposit money with Delta One.
Nexora promised daily earnings too. Its victims say they cannot withdraw their money, and its tokens became almost worthless.
What links Delta One to Nexora
The recording of Delta One’s public “Founders Call” on 17 September 2026, the day its website went live, shows a Zoom participant named “Nexora Support”.
According to Nexora’s victims, Barksdale is behind Delta One. And the business model mirrors Nexora’s: deposits in USDT on BNB Smart Chain, daily earnings until a fixed cap, and a multi-level recruitment network.
What Delta One offers
The website says that earnings are never guaranteed, and in the founders call Mr Pack said that Delta One will not guarantee a rate.
Warning signs
- Brand new and anonymous. The domain was registered on 17 September 2026; the owner is hidden behind a privacy service. We found no company name, registration number, address or financial licence on the website.
- A renamed platform. Delta One is the same system as an earlier crypto platform called “Alpha Infinity” at alpha-infinity.io, registered on 23 July 2026. Both run on the same server with the same customer, ambassador and admin portals, the same wallet-login account, identical program code and the same “arbitrage engine” with a 200% cap. On launch day, the Delta One address still showed “Alpha Infinity - Admin”. Not to be confused with the unrelated U.S. company Alpha Infinity.
- Daily payouts until “doubled”. A fixed 200% end point with nightly payouts is a typical feature of high-risk investment schemes, and it is the same pattern Nexora used.
- Paid recruitment. Ambassadors earn on their recruits’ money across a 21-level matrix. The ambassador back office has a network tree, ranks and a compensation plan, and is “by invitation” only.
- Crypto only. Money goes in as USDT on BNB Smart Chain, which is hard to recover once it has been sent.
- No real support. The “support” address, a second domain registered on 12 September 2026, opens a Zoom meeting room.
The faces of Delta One
Delta One’s public faces are James Pack, introduced in the founders call as founder and president, and Ricky Lundell, introduced as director and managing director of the company. On Delta One’s sales page (below), Mr Lundell is presented as “President & Co-Founder”. According to the victims, Barksdale has once again placed people in front of his scheme who do not know who is behind it, while he steers the operation in the background, as he did with Nexora.
James Pack is also listed as Chief Executive Officer of DAG Technologies Inc., Las Vegas, on that company’s website. No connection between DAG Technologies and Delta One or Nexora is known or alleged.
The sales page: landing.deltaoneai.com
A second Delta One website, landing.deltaoneai.com, runs on the same server as deltaoneai.com and works as its sales page. Under the slogan “People. Technology. Opportunity.” it offers “Four short videos. One clear picture.” The videos are cinematic clips whose imagery appears to be AI-generated: presenters in matching black flight suits with the Delta One logo, a jet with Delta One branding flying through a city at night, and a giant glowing “engine”. A fourth tile advertises “Founder NFT Seats” as a “launch promotion”.
The same page introduces Mr Pack as “Founder” and Mr Lundell as “President & Co-Founder”, with a separate founders page that describes their careers: for Mr Pack, more than 40 years as an entrepreneur in telecommunications, real estate and direct sales; for Mr Lundell, a career as a world-champion grappler and as a coach of elite fighters and special-operations personnel. Like the main website, the sales page names no company, registration number, address or financial licence.
The victims believe that Mr Pack and Mr Lundell are most likely unaware of Barksdale’s background and of his role behind Delta One. As far as we know, they have done nothing wrong, and no wrongdoing by them is alleged.

Who is John Albert Loar Barksdale?
Barksdale is the defendant in United States v. Barksdale (S.D.N.Y., case 1:21-cr-00684). He was indicted in 2021 on securities-fraud and wire-fraud charges over the Ormeus Coin crypto scheme, which U.S. prosecutors say raised at least $70 million from more than 8,000 investors through false claims about a crypto-mining operation. The court docket shows no court appearance since the indictment was unsealed in March 2022.
A group of investors who lost money on Nexora has analysed public blockchain data. Its analysis, from April 2024 to September 2026, found:
- $1.02M of payments from 2,268 paying wallets were collected by Nexora’s purchase contracts and forwarded to the wallet that owns Nexora’s smart contracts, which the report attributes to Barksdale (Aug 2025 – May 2026).
- Six tokens, six crashes. Five Nexora tokens and the earlier AK1111 token fell by 89–99.99% from their peaks.
- Manufactured demand: about 15,000 newly created wallets and 10 trading bots, funded from a single source. The bots alone made 84% of all OLIVIA2.0 trades.
- Before Nexora, during the “Akasha” scheme (Oct 2024 – Oct 2025), 24,673 wallets paid $36.3M into four collection wallets, which forwarded $14.1M to a wallet the analysis links to him (not yet confirmed).
- In total, $32.6M in stablecoins moved through five wallets linked to him, and $6.74M was sent to cryptocurrency exchanges.
- Criminal case
- United States v. Barksdale, 1:21-cr-00684 (S.D.N.Y.): four counts of securities and wire fraud, up to 65 years combined
- Civil case
- SEC v. Barksdale et al., 1:22-cv-01933: default judgment of about $79M (2023)
- Status
- No U.S. court appearance on record. Reported in Dubai in 2022 and 2023, called “a wanted fugitive” (BehindMLM)
- Alias
- “Neo Anderson” (BehindMLM, April 2025)
These are minimum figures. They cover only the wallets identified so far, and he very likely controls further wallets. One of the five wallets is not yet confirmed as his. Mr Barksdale is presumed innocent of the U.S. criminal charges, and the allegations about Nexora, Akasha and Delta One have not been tested in court.
From Ormeus Coin to Delta One
Every entry comes from a court record, a regulator, a published news report or the public websites concerned (sources below).
- 2017 – 2022Ormeus Coin. Sold through the MLM company Ormeus Global and advertised on a Times Square jumbotron as backed by a “250 Million Cryptocurrency Mining Farm”. The SEC says the offerings ran from June 2017 to March 2022 and raised “$124 million”.
- Jul – Aug 2019Arrested in Thailand. After two investors complained to Bangkok police, a court issued an arrest warrant. Thai immigration police arrested him at his villa on Koh Samui on 6 August 2019 (Pattaya One News). According to Newsflare, no charges were upheld after the case was settled with the complainants.
- Nov 2021Indicted in New York. A four-count indictment (conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud) was filed under seal.
- 8 Mar 2022Charges announced. The DOJ unsealed the indictment and said he “was arrested abroad”. The same day the SEC sued him and his sister. The court docket shows no entry after this date.
- Apr – Sep 2022Hunted. BehindMLM reported that the SEC had hired local counsel to locate him, and later that he had turned up in Dubai.
- 15 Mar 2023$79 million judgment. Default judgment in the SEC case: $46.3M disgorgement, $10.0M interest and a $23.1M civil penalty.
- Oct 2023“A wanted fugitive”. BehindMLM reported him at the Dubai office of the MLM company Mavie Global and called him “a wanted fugitive”.
- Apr 2025“Neo Anderson”. BehindMLM reported that he was “spearheading efforts to defraud consumers through Akasha” under the alias “Neo Anderson”.
- 2025 – 2026Nexora. According to its victims, he runs the crypto platform Nexora. Its tokens collapsed by 89–99.99%.
- Sep 2026Delta One. A new platform goes live on 17 September 2026. Its founders call shows a Zoom participant named “Nexora Support”.
Akasha, 2024 – 2025
According to BehindMLM (24 April 2025), Barksdale marketed Akasha “super node” positions under the alias “Neo Anderson”: from 50 USDT up to 30,000 USDT per node, investments of up to 300,000 USDT, advertised returns of up to 12% a month and funds locked for ten years, alongside “Sovereign” debit-card packages that promised 1% a day. Akasha’s token, AK1111, went from $3.23 at its peak (23 March 2025) to $0.002.
The wallet that deployed AK1111 was funded by the main wallet the report attributes to Barksdale, and the token was deployed in the same minute. The payments peaked in March 2025, the month AK1111 reached its high. The blockchain does not show what each payment was for.
Context: Mavie Global, the Dubai MLM at whose office BehindMLM reported seeing him in 2023, claimed in its own press release to have raised 404 million USDT from more than 250,000 people. Quebec’s securities regulator obtained a cease-and-desist order against its operators in May 2024. BehindMLM’s editor has written that he saw no evidence that Barksdale created Mavie Global.
360% a year promised. Withdrawals “coming soon”.
Nexora is a crypto MLM “back office” in which members buy “nodes” and tokens, collect “interest” and climb ranks. It advertised 360% APY, 30% a month, “get 100% extra” bonus offers, an AI trading platform and a crypto card. Victims report that they cannot withdraw their money: the button in the back office reads “Withdraw coming soon”.
Screenshots from the Nexora back office, provided by victims. Personal details have been removed.
Where the payments went
- Two Nexora purchase contracts took in payments from 2,268 different wallets and forwarded $1,022,624 to the wallet that owns Nexora’s smart contracts, which the report attributes to Barksdale.
- Purpose-built “entry” contracts took 269 buyers’ payments ($137,191) and bought the token, but delivered the tokens to that same wallet instead of to the buyers.
Six tokens, six crashes

Token contract addresses are public; prices from the tokens’ trading pools. Some early price series are incompletely indexed by the data provider.
All six tokens, side by side
Blue: the token’s daily price, with its peak marked. Red: stablecoins pulled out of the token’s trading pool per day by wallets linked to him.
$449,568 pulled from the pool by the wallet attributed to him
$40,725 pulled from the pool by the wallet attributed to him
$24,621 pulled from the pool by the wallet attributed to him
$152,444 pulled from the pool by the wallet attributed to him
No pool withdrawals by his wallets found
$104,134 pulled from the pool by a wallet linked to him (not yet confirmed)
Withdrawals are gross amounts. On OLIVIA2.0 they were $418,000 more than the stablecoins his wallet had put into the pool. On wINC, wINC2.0, AK2222 and AK1111 the wallets took out about as much as they had put in; the losses on those tokens came through other routes, such as collection and entry contracts, private sales and newly minted tokens. Where the daily price data stops early, a dashed line joins the last recorded price to the price on 1 Oct 2026. Price data for wINC is indexed from its peak day (26 Apr 2026), for AK1111 from March 2025, and for OLIVIA only from April to June 2026; OLIVIA’s peak of about $0.044 comes from a chart screenshot.
Pulling the dollars out of the pool
Each token traded in a “liquidity pool” that holds dollars (stablecoins) and tokens. When victims buy, their dollars go into the pool and the price rises. Whoever owns the pool position can withdraw the dollars at any time. Once they are gone, nobody can sell any more: the price collapses and the victims’ tokens become worthless.
On OLIVIA2.0, the wallet attributed to Barksdale placed tokens into the pool, then withdrew $449,568 in USDC: $418,000 more than the stablecoins it had put in. $365,822 of it came out between 22 June and 7 July 2026, just before the price peaked on 8 July.

A crowd that wasn’t there
The wash trading made the token look busy and widely held. The money that funded the operator’s wallets traces back into Barksdale’s network. Exchanges can identify the holders of the accounts that received his wallets’ deposits.
Method, limits and sources
How it was produced
The findings come from public blockchain data (BNB Chain and Base, with other EVM networks for the wallet totals), public court and regulatory records, published news reports, the public websites and recordings of the platforms concerned, and material supplied by victims. Every on-chain figure in the full report is backed by public transactions that anyone can check on a block explorer.
Minimum figures
All amounts cover only the wallets identified so far. He very likely controls further wallets that have not been identified, so the real amounts are probably higher. Totals are gross flows, one of the five wallets is still unconfirmed, and Ormeus Coin (2017–2022) is not included in the on-chain figures.
Best-effort work
The analysis was carried out by victims to the best of their ability. It is not a certified forensic examination and should be verified by professional forensic investigators.
Attribution and presumption of innocence
The blockchain shows which wallets control funds, not who controls the wallets. Statements by courts, regulators and news outlets are attributed to them; information from victims is marked as such. Mr Barksdale has not been convicted and is presumed innocent. As far as we know, the people presented as Delta One’s founders have done nothing wrong, and no wrongdoing is alleged against them.
