The article mentions yomali out of Malta. Yomali's just an ecommerce, billing and hosting site doing payment processing for the people selling these guides. Much as Google and AWS host services for numerous questionable companies.

Malta has some weird tax advantage apparently because a lot of ecommerce goes out of there. Also Cyprus.

Yomali's owned by an Israel guy who says his name is Mike Peters. ( https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/326673 )

It's likely he and his company have little to do with these ebooks other than handling payment processing for them along with many other small companies.

Malta is also a location where a lot of questionable cryptocurrency related firms have chosen to incorporate, and get bank accounts.

Quackery is often described as "health fraud" with the salient characteristic of aggressive promotion.”

In the medieval times this was done by shouting in the public markets, today using affiliate marketing networks targeting millions of emails. Surely they don’t target people that can reason and ignore/ delete their messages but the ones that click and follow the dodgy trail.

Here is an interesting podcast about Scams - You Are Not So Smart Podcast 097 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8mbW18RcO8Y
