DANNY DE HEKThey don’t even try to hide it anymore, do they? Optimus VIP has finally gone the way of every other high-yield crypto fantasy—straight off a cliff.

But if you thought the scammers behind it would hang their heads and walk away, think again. Like every good Ponzi cockroach, they simply changed the name and carried on. Enter: DigitalCredit. And now? Say hello to DigitalBot.tech.

From Optimus VIP to DigitalCredit

Let me lay this out for you. Optimus VIP collapsed in March 2025, and instead of owning up to what it was—a crypto Ponzi scheme offering up to 0.8% daily returns with no real trading to back it—its promoters repackaged it under a slick new name, slapped on a fresh coat of marketing jargon, and rebranded it as DigitalCredit. The goal? Keep the money flowing in while pretending nothing ever happened.

Credit where credit is due: the team at BehindMLM nailed this one. They traced the entire scam from Optimus VIP to DigitalCredit and documented the nonsense in a fantastic exposé: Optimus VIP Ponzi collapses, DigitalCredit reboot.

Tiger Tony—yes, that’s really what he calls himself—even tried to claim in a webinar that this was a “merger” with a “huge company.” In reality, DigitalCredit was registered in Brazil in December 2024 and was barely weeks old when it started pitching investors with the same promises of passive income and crypto debit cards.

The Rise of DigitalBot.tech

Then comes DigitalBot.tech, the latest incarnation in this financial soap opera. According to their website, DigitalBot is an “advanced solution developed by DigitalCredit” that hooks into your MetaMask wallet via API, supposedly to execute automated arbitrage trades.

It uses signals from TradingView, runs trades on over 120 cryptos, and promises weekly returns between 8% and 20% depending on how much you fork over for a license. Yes, you read that right: license fees. The lowest tier costs $49, the highest $109.

And your rewards? Up to 20% weekly. If this isn’t sounding the alarm bells yet, buckle up.

The Classic Scam Playbook

This is the scam playbook on repeat:

  • They charge you an upfront fee for a “license”
  • You give them API access to your wallet (big red flag)
  • They promise daily or weekly ROI
  • They pay you commissions to recruit others (unilevel bonuses, 20 levels deep)
  • They cap participation to create fake scarcity (“only 5,000 licenses“)
  • They punish non-payment of commissions by locking or deactivating your license

A Non-Custodial Lie

DigitalBot claims to be non-custodial, saying your money “stays in your wallet.” But they still demand 50% of your profits each week. They auto-generate invoices you must pay in under 30 hours or risk losing everything.

How does a company with no legal identity, no published team, no registered address, and no verifiable product get to demand a tax on your earnings?

The Bonus Breakdown

Let’s not forget the bonuses: 10% to 2% commissions distributed across 20 levels of referrals. Half of every weekly payment goes to the pyramid structure.

That’s not trading. That’s redistribution of new participant money.

No Proof, No Product, No People

The cherry on top? There’s no audit. No whitepaper. No proof of trades. No team. Just a big, blue logo and a bunch of slides dressed up in technical-sounding garbage.

Their “How it works” section is fluff. Their “Tutorial” link doesn’t teach you anything except how to give up control of your wallet.

And their contact method? A Gmail-style support email and a private Telegram group. Classic exit-scam architecture.

The only thing DigitalBot is automating is the extraction of money from your wallet.

Final Warning

So what do we do with this information? Simple: we expose it. This is a rebranded scam that has already hurt investors under two different names. Don’t let it continue under a third.

If you were caught up in Optimus VIP, or lured into DigitalCredit, or are now being pitched DigitalBot by someone you trust, walk away. Screenshot everything. Speak out.
