Transparency: What This Project Is — and Isn’t
DoublePenniesOnline LLC applies the the power of the penny (also known as the Double Pennies Theory) as a real-world economic research model — not as an investment, get-rich scheme, or recruitment program. This page explains how the project works, how we protect participants, and why ethical doubling and community impact are at the heart of what we do.
Summary: This is a refundable, goodwill-based research experiment operated by a private R&D company — not a financial product or promise of income.
1. Why This Page Exists
Terms like “doubling money” are often associated with scams. We created this page to acknowledge that history, explain how DoublePenniesOnline is different, and provide clear information for participants, observers, and regulators.
Historically, many fraudulent schemes have used the promise of “doubling your money” with little transparency or real economic substance. We agree that people should be cautious. That is why DoublePenniesOnline LLC:
Fully describes itself as a research and development company, not a financial or investment firm.
Uses the Double Pennies concept as a research model to be tested and measured, not as a guaranteed outcome.
Provides a 100% money-back guarantee that applies throughout the entire experiment, even if a reward has already been dispersed.
Publishes anonymized, aggregate outcomes to demonstrate transparency.

2. What This Project Is
A controlled, goodwill-based research experiment inspired by the Double Pennies Theory.
Research & Development Company
DoublePenniesOnline LLC operates as a private economic Research & Development (R&D) company, categorized under NAICS 541720 (research and development in social sciences and related fields).
Real-World Application of a Theory
The Double Pennies Theory has been used for decades to teach exponential growth. We take this well-known concept and apply it in a structured, trackable real-world model using documented cycles, milestones, verifications, and community sponsorship pathways.
The $10 Research Test
Phase 1 invites individuals to participate in a $10 research test — which is fully refundable at any time, even after the $500 reward has been dispersed. Funds are circulated within a proprietary system to study whether ethical doubling can occur and how that outcome can support both participants and community organizations.
Company-Sponsored Community Impact
As milestones are verified, DoublePenniesOnline LLC sponsors rewards (up to $500), including amounts directed to faith-based or nonprofit organizations identified by participants. No participant’s reward depends on recruiting others.
3. What This Project Is Not
We are clear about what we do not do to avoid confusion with scams or investment schemes.
Not an Investment
- No ownership stake, securities, or returns on investment are offered.
- No profit, income, or percentage-return promises are made.
- Participation is a research activity with guaranteed refund rights — not a financial commitment.
Not a Pyramid or MLM
- Participants are not paid to recruit others.
- No multi-level payout structure or “downline” exists.
- Rewards (up to $500) are sponsored by the company, not funded by downstream participants.
Not Financial Advice
- We do not tell people how to invest, save, or borrow.
- We do not sell financial plans, credit repair, or investment strategies.
Not a Secret Money Trick
- No hidden “hack” to beat markets or bypass economic reality.
- Our system is a research tool, protected as a trade secret, not a loophole.
4. Safeguards & Guarantees
How we protect participants and uphold integrity.
100% Money-Back Guarantee
Participants may request a full refund of their $10 research test amount at any time throughout the experiment — even if a $500 reward has already been dispersed. This ensures total protection of participants and underscores that involvement is voluntary.
Clear Written Terms
All terms — including the Goodwill & Ethics Policy, refund guarantee, and transparency commitments — are written in plain English for full visibility.
Confidential Data Handling
Personal data is kept confidential and used only for research administration. Public reporting uses aggregate, anonymized metrics.
Documented Cycles & Milestones
Each cycle is tracked internally. Once sufficient data exists, we will publish high-level summaries via a public Transparency Dashboard.
5. How We Differ from Typical “Money Doubling” Scams
A side-by-side comparison to address common concerns.
| Typical Scam / Pyramid Pattern | DoublePenniesOnline Research Model |
|---|---|
| Promises fast or guaranteed returns (“double your money in X days”). | Makes no earnings promises. The focus is on research outcomes, not guaranteed returns. |
| Pays participants for recruiting others into the scheme. | No recruitment incentives, no downlines, no multi-level payouts. |
| Little or no refund rights. | $10 is 100% refundable at any time during the entire experiment — even if the $500 reward has been dispersed. |
| Hidden or unclear business purpose. | Openly registered as a Research & Development company (NAICS 541720). |
| Money flows upward to “leaders.” | Rewards are sponsored by the company and cycles operate independently — not dependent on hierarchy. |
6. Our Research Status & Proprietary Method
Transparent about purpose and outcomes; protective of internal design.
DoublePenniesOnline LLC’s internal formulas, triggers, and circulation logic are protected as trade secrets. This is a necessary step to prevent duplication or misuse of the method.
However, protection of method does not mean a lack of transparency. We openly share:
- Our purpose: ethical testing of the Double Pennies Theory in real-world conditions.
- Our protections: refund rights, ethics policies, and documentation practices.
- Our outcomes: anonymized summaries of participants, refunds honored, and milestones reached.
As data accumulates, high-level public reporting will help demonstrate how the research is unfolding and how community organizations benefit from sponsored rewards.
