Every week, people donate so I can choose which scams to investigate. This time, I’ve spent that support digging into a scheme called XRP Ai Bot (XAB).

It came onto my radar because one of the most notorious Ponzi promoters I’ve been tracking for years, Ryan “Ryzn” Conley, uploaded their sales pitch to his YouTube Channel.

He’s since doubled down, filming inside what he calls their London HQ with “CEO Rehan,” bragging about leaders flying in from Italy, Romania, Japan, and Cambodia.

On the surface, XRP Ai Bot claims to be an AI-powered arbitrage platform built on XRP. But once you scratch beneath the shiny PDF, AI-generated YouTube videos, and staged office theatrics, it’s clear: this is a Ponzi scheme.

A PowerPoint Presentation Is Not Proof

PDFThe centrepiece of XRP Ai Bot’s pitch is a 24-page Presentation, translated into multiple languages and plastered across their website’s “media” section for easy downloading. This isn’t a business plan or a regulated prospectus. It’s a cartoon brochure dressed up as finance.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Cartoon robots and Sonic-inspired mascots offering “Sonic Airdrops.”
  • A fake founder, Dr. Jackson Van Müller, supposedly a Belgian PhD in Aeronautics.
  • Guaranteed profits, with lines like: “The arbitrage system only executes trades when a profit is guaranteed.”

What’s missing?

  • No audited smart contracts.
  • No company registration documents.
  • No evidence of real trading activity.

If your financial “due diligence” is based on a PowerPoint PDF filled with mascots and slogans like “Empowering the Future of Crypto Arbitrage”, you’re not investing — you’re being recruited into a Ponzi.

The Ponzi Math Problem

One of the slides boasts:

“Packages give you the power to choose better value bots that generate higher daily rewards starting from up to 1% daily.”

That number is all you need to know this is a scam.

  • 1% daily compounded = 3,678% per year.
  • Their “Hyper Package” at 1.2% daily = 4,400% per year.

For comparison:

  • Warren Buffett’s long-term average: ~20% annually.
  • The world’s top hedge funds: rarely above 30% in their best years.
  • XRP Ai Bot: claiming 200x higher returns, guaranteed, with no risk.

If anyone could really pull 1.2% per day forever, they’d quietly be the richest person alive. They wouldn’t be begging strangers on YouTube to buy cartoon “packages.”

The Sonic Airdrop Circus

Then comes the most ridiculous part of their deck: the “Sonic Airdrops.”

According to their pitch:

“Once the direct volume is the same as your package, your package goes Sonic and you start receiving double the amount of airdrops.”

This is nothing more than a recruitment gimmick. Bring in enough people, and your fake payouts double. They’ve literally gamified a Ponzi payout system with cartoon hedgehog bars.

Imagine your bank saying: “Good news, your savings account just went Sonic — we’ve doubled your interest.” You’d laugh them out of the branch. XRP Ai Bot expects you to clap like children because their PDF is colourful.

The Fake Founder

The deck proudly presents “Dr. Jackson Van Müller,” an alleged Belgian PhD in Aeronautics who pivoted from drones to Bitcoin mining in 2013. He’s described as the brain behind the arbitrage bot.

His slide is covered in logos from Boston Dynamics, Quantum Systems, Delair, and Scale.

Here’s the reality: he doesn’t exist.

  • No academic papers.
  • No professional footprint.
  • No crypto history.

And the logos? Stolen. None of those companies have anything to do with XRP Ai Bot. This is scammer theatre: invent a genius founder, slap on famous brand logos, and hope nobody checks.

It’s exactly what OneCoin did with “Dr. Ruja.”

The YouTube Lies — In Their Own Words

On YouTube, XRP Ai Bot uses AI avatars with robotic voices to spin their lies.

One video claims:

“If only 25% of Swift transactions were replaced by XRP, one XRP would be worth $10,000.”

Swift is not a coin. It’s a messaging network. XRP is not replacing it. This is deliberate misinformation.

Another claim:

“Even the US government aims to replace their gold reserves with XRP.”

This is pure fabrication. No government has ever suggested replacing gold with XRP. They made it up to trigger FOMO.

And of course, the “returns”:

“Your earning potential goes up to 400% through active affiliation income and up to 300% through passive rewards.”

That’s 700% promised ROI. No legitimate financial product talks like this. It’s Ponzi language, plain and simple.

Inside the “London Office”

Then we get to Ryan Conley’s latest video, filmed in what he calls “XAB’s London HQ.” It’s a rented meeting room stuffed with promoters and hype men. Conley pans the camera while “CEO Rehan” delivers the usual Ponzi boilerplate:

“Teams are growing everywhere… the biggest names in the industry have already signed up with us.”

“XRP is going to $4, $5, or even $10 very soon — buy packages now before it’s too late.”

“The system pays you airdrops 40 to 120 times a day.”

“If you buy a 500 XRP package and bring one person in, you go Sonic and start earning double.”

It’s textbook multi-level marketing. No mention of audited trading results. No blockchain addresses. Just buy packages, recruit others, and maybe you’ll “go Sonic.”

Conley brags about leaders joining from Italy, Romania, Japan, and Cambodia. He celebrates “Yacht Club” package sales of 2,000 to 5,000 XRP a pop. And he hypes a Barcelona convention on November 15th as the official launch.

If you’ve seen HyperVerse or Validus, you’ve seen this script before: events, offices, conventions, leaders, and hype. These are theatre productions designed to make victims believe they’re part of something global — right before the rug is pulled.

The Withdrawal Trap

Dig deeper into the mechanics and you’ll see how the scam is engineered:

  • 10% withdrawal fee — skimming victim money immediately.
  • Bot restarts every 70 hours — forcing members to log in and re-engage, giving the illusion of activity.
  • Sonic multipliers — dangling double rewards to pressure people into recruiting.

These aren’t “features.” They’re controls. They slow withdrawals, encourage reinvestment, and buy the scammers time before the inevitable collapse.

Dead Links, Fake Policies

Even their website footer gives them away. At the bottom, you’ll find links to Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Risk Disclosure. Click them, and you get nothing. They don’t exist.

Why? Because this isn’t a registered business. It’s a temporary cash grab. They know what a real company should look like, so they fake the outline — but they don’t bother to fill it in.

The Roadmap to Nowhere

Their pitch deck stretches all the way to 2029, promising:

  • Their own coin.
  • Hedge funds.
  • DeFi lending.
  • Real estate tokenisation.
  • Metaverse offices.

They can’t even publish a working Terms of Use, yet they want you to believe they’ll reinvent global finance by 2029.

The truth? They won’t make it past 2026. Ponzi schemes collapse the moment recruitment slows.

Final Verdict

XRP Ai Bot is not AI. It is not arbitrage. It is not Ripple-backed.

It is a global Ponzi scheme, dressed up with cartoon robots, fake PhDs, AI avatars, and rented office theatrics. Its promoters — including Ryan Conley — are staging events and pumping “packages” to lure new victims.

The math doesn’t work. The founder doesn’t exist. The promises are impossible. The “London HQ” is a rented room. The website links are dead. And the only money moving around is from new recruits to old promoters.

If you’re being pitched XRP Ai Bot, remember: a PDF presentation and a YouTube video are not proof. They’re props in yet another fraud.

The only guarantee here is this: when recruitment slows, withdrawals will stall, and victims will lose their money.
