DANNY DE HEKI’m Danny de Hek, also known as The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, and frankly, I’m getting sick of these scams.

Every week, a new so-called investment opportunity pops up, promising life-changing returns while doing nothing but draining people’s hard-earned money.

This time, it’s MHT Trading Bot. A sleek website, bold claims about arbitrage trading, and the illusion of an easy, passive income. But here’s the reality—this is nothing more than another crypto Ponzi scheme, designed to suck people in with high-return promises and a multi-level marketing structure. If you’re considering investing in this, stop right now and read on.

The Illusion of Automated Arbitrage Profits

MHT Trading Bot markets itself as an AI-driven arbitrage trading system, claiming it can take advantage of price differences across crypto exchanges. They make it sound like a risk-free money-printing machine, with phrases like:

  • “Guaranteed monthly returns of up to 30%”
  • “Fully automated—earn passive income 24/7”
  • “Secure and reliable, backed by advanced AI”

If you’ve been around long enough, you’ll recognize these classic scam buzzwords. In reality, there is no proof that this bot does any trading at all. They provide no verified trade history, no third-party audits, and no transparency on how their so-called AI actually operates.

The Suspicious License Model

Instead of allowing people to freely use their trading bot, MHT Trading forces users to buy “licenses”—an immediate red flag.

  • Radiant License: Costs $150 and promises up to 20% monthly returns.
  • Quantum License: Costs $1,500 and promises up to 30% monthly returns.
  • 365-day lock-in: Investors cannot withdraw their initial deposit for a full year.

Think about that for a second. A minimum of 20% monthly returns means if you put in $1,000, you should have over $7,000 at the end of the year. If this was actually possible, Wall Street firms would be throwing billions into it. Instead, they’re selling access to you—why? Because they make their money from you, not from trading.

The one-year lock-in is a key Ponzi move. This keeps money trapped inside the system while new victims join, keeping the illusion alive. Once withdrawals exceed new deposits, the system will collapse, and everyone’s locked-up money will vanish.

The Multi-Level Marketing Trap

On top of the fake trading claims, MHT Trading Bot pushes an aggressive MLM-style referral system, offering:

  • 20% commission on direct referrals
  • 10% commission on second-level referrals
  • Profit-sharing bonuses on partner earnings, extending 20 levels deep

The more people you recruit, the more you earn. But this isn’t from trading—it’s from the money that new victims are putting in.

This is exactly how Ponzi schemes operate. The real money is made from recruitment, not from actual trading. They need new people to believe in the scheme to keep the payouts flowing, but eventually, the pyramid collapses.

The Company’s Hidden Identity

If this company was legitimate, it would be registered, regulated, and run by known financial professionals. Instead:

  • The domain MHTTrade.io was only registered in November 2024.
  • The owners are completely anonymous.
  • There is no physical office, no real support team, and no regulatory approval anywhere.

Legitimate financial companies don’t hide their identities. The only reason a company would stay anonymous is if they plan to disappear with your money.

The Withdrawal Scam

MHT Trading Bot claims that withdrawals are processed instantly in USDT, but anyone familiar with these scams knows how it plays out. At first, early investors might be able to withdraw small amounts. But as soon as larger withdrawals start, excuses will begin:

  • “System maintenance”
  • “Unexpected market volatility”
  • “You need to reinvest before withdrawing”

When a scam like this stops withdrawals, the collapse has begun. The people at the top will cash out, while regular investors will be left with nothing but locked-up funds.

The Final Verdict

MHT Trading Bot ticks every single box for a high-risk Ponzi scheme. It lures people in with promises of easy money, locks their funds for a year, and relies on recruitment to stay afloat. Once new investors stop coming in, the whole thing will implode, just like every other scam before it.

I’ve seen this happen over and over again, and I’m sick of it. Scammers are getting rich while everyday people are left devastated, wondering how they fell for it.

If you’re reading this and thinking of investing—don’t. If you already have money in it—be very careful. Don’t put in more, and don’t recruit others just to get your own money out.

These scams only survive as long as people keep falling for them. The best way to stop them is to spread the truth before more people get hurt.
