What happened to Money Map Press is a publisher wind-down story with a paper trail. Money Map Press ceased operations on May 1, 2024. The publisher’s own homepage, still live at moneymappress.com, carries the notice: the company “engaged in a strategic merger with several financial publishers and as of May 1, 2024 will no longer be in operation.” Subscriber notices began going out in November 2023, giving roughly six months of warning before the shutdown.

If you arrived here searching for what happened to your Money Map Press subscription, that is the short version. The longer version involves an Agora-network imprint that sold a lot of lifetime memberships, a roster of gurus who scattered to five different publishers, and a set of subscriber transitions that — for lifetime members in particular — did not go the way the sales page implied.

The Timeline of What Happened to Money Map Press

Money Map Press was founded in 2007 and based in Baltimore, Maryland. It was part of the Agora network, the same Baltimore federation of newsletter companies behind Paradigm Press, The Oxford Club, Banyan Hill, and the former Manward Press. At its peak, Money Map Press pitched itself as having more than a million subscribers and sold a stable of trading and investment letters from names including Tom Gentile, Shah Gilani, Garrett Baldwin, Chris Johnson, Rob Roy, and Andrew Giovinazzi.

The wind-down came in two stages. In November 2023, Money Map Press began sending subscribers notices that the company would be dissolved and its editors migrated to other publishers. The formal cessation followed on May 1, 2024, when the moneymappress.com domain was converted to the shutdown notice that still stands today. The Oregon Attorney General’s office had earlier settled with Money Map Press over “misleading and deceptive advertising practices relating to pricing, free offers, and testimonials” — a public record that predates the shutdown. The Agora network’s 2021 FTC settlement ($2 million, roughly 35,000 refunds) is the broader regulatory backdrop for every Agora imprint, Money Map included.

The shutdown was not a single event. It was a dispersal. Each editor went somewhere different, and the subscriber transitions were handled publisher by publisher rather than in one clean migration.

Where the Editors Went

The moneymappress.com shutdown notice and the migration pages at the receiving publishers confirm the destinations.

  • Tom Gentile moved his entire lineup — research, education, trade recommendations — to Gulfport Analytics, a new imprint established with Alta Publishing. The migration page at gulfportanalytics.com/tom-gentile-money-map-press-faq/ describes the May 1, 2024 cutover: existing Money Map Press passwords worked at the new site, and access emails went out on May 2. Gulfport Analytics is now Gentile’s publishing home, reachable at memberservices@gulfportanalytics.com or 800-672-0744.
  • Shah Gilani’s services were absorbed into Manward Press in November 2023, at the notice stage of the wind-down. Manward was another Agora imprint. The story did not end there: Manward Press itself ceased operations on December 15, 2025, and Gilani stepped away to found ANNSR Market Analytics. What happened to Manward Press covers that second closure.
  • Garrett Baldwin moved into a collaboration with Porter Stansberry on Porter’s Florida Republic initiative. Porter Stansberry is the founder of Porter & Co., an independent publisher (formerly Stansberry Research / MarketWise CEO).
  • Rob Roy’s EWO Trader service merged with Chris Johnson’s Darknet Service.
  • Andrew Giovinazzi’s service merged with Option Pit.
  • Chris Johnson’s Alpha Accelerators service merged with Adam O’Dell’s Max Profit Alert. Adam O’Dell is now at Banyan Hill / Money & Markets.

The dispersal across five separate publishers is unusual. When Legacy Research Group shut down in February 2024, the audience was moved more or less in bulk and the guru in question — Teeka Tiwari — went independent. Money Map Press took the opposite approach, parceling its roster out to whoever would take each service.

What Subscribers Should Know Now

If you were a Money Map Press subscriber and were migrated to one of the receiving publishers, check your credit card statements. The billing descriptor should have changed from Money Map Press to the new publisher — Gulfport Analytics, Monument Traders Alliance, Option Pit, or whichever imprint took your service. If you did not want the replacement service, you were entitled to cancel, and the receiving publisher’s refund policy applies, not Money Map Press’s.

If you are looking for Tom Gentile’s current work, he is at Gulfport Analytics at gulfportanalytics.com. If you are looking for Shah Gilani, he is at ANNSR Market Analytics, having left Manward when Manward closed. Garrett Baldwin is working with Porter Stansberry’s operation. The Money Map Press website itself is now a static shutdown-notice page and accepts no new subscribers.

For former subscribers of the various trading rooms and option services, the practical question is whether the replacement service you were moved to is the one you actually want. The moneymappress.com notice lists Gulfport Analytics as the contact for Gentile’s publications specifically. Other publishers handle their own migrated services.

The Lifetime Subscription Question

Money Map Press sold lifetime subscriptions to several of its higher-tier products, and this is where the shutdown story turns. The Change.org petition titled “Money Map Press LLC - Money Morning Live and NOW attempting to thieve as MoneyMorning.com” was created on May 30, 2023 — before the formal shutdown — by a self-described lifetime member of the “Warlocks World” service, alleging “a hostile discontinuation of this subscription and denied any form of refund.” The BBB complaint profile for Money Map Press, LLC carries multiple lifetime-member grievances with documented dollar figures: a $1,950 lifetime Micro Currency Trader upgrade, a $1,500 lifetime Private Deal Flow membership, a $2,620 Warlocks World lifetime package, a $699 Fellowship Passport lifetime, and one subscriber who reports spending roughly $14,000 on lifetime “all rooms” access across a six-week period in 2022.

The common thread across these complaints is not that the trades went bad — that is a separate argument — but that when the services were discontinued, lifetime subscribers received replacement services or credits rather than cash refunds. One BBB complaint describes being migrated to a Monument Traders Alliance “Daily Profit” alert program as a replacement for a lifetime teaching service, with the receiving publisher refunding its portion while Money Map Press allegedly declined to refund the balance.

This is the same pattern documented in the Legacy Research Group wind-down (a MarketWise publisher that closed in February 2024, covered in detail below), where lifetime subscribers received credits rather than refunds and some were billed maintenance fees for services they could no longer access. The lesson is durable and applies to every publisher in this vertical: “lifetime” in financial publishing means the lifetime of the product, not the lifetime of the subscriber. When the product ends, the obligation ends with it, and the publisher decides what — if anything — to offer in return.

The Broader Agora Pattern

Money Map Press is one of three Agora-network publishers to shut down in recent years. What happened to Manward Press covers the December 2025 closure of the imprint that absorbed Shah Gilani’s Money Map services. What happened to Teeka Tiwari covers the February 2024 wind-down of Legacy Research Group, a MarketWise (not Agora) publisher that handled its lifetime subscribers the same way Money Map did.

The pattern is consistent across all three. When a brand’s subscriber base or guru roster no longer justifies standalone operations, the audience is migrated to sister publications, the brand is retired, and lifetime obligations are settled in credits or replacement services rather than refunds. The receiving publisher gets a billing relationship; the retiring publisher exits without a refund liability on the books. For the subscriber, the newsletter you signed up for may not exist under that name for long, and the transition is typically automatic unless you actively cancel.

Money Map Press has been closed for over two years. The domain still answers. The shutdown notice still lists Gulfport Analytics as the contact for Gentile publications. If you are arriving here in 2026 wondering what happened to a service you paid for, the company that billed you no longer exists, the editor you followed has moved, and the question of what you are owed depends entirely on which publisher inherited your account. Check your statements. Find the billing descriptor. Contact the publisher that is currently charging you, not the one that used to.
