Conclusion

Velocity Token claim to generate external ROI revenue through “trading bots”.

Our AI bot is able te [sic] recognise Pump and Dumps and will use this to gain profit from.

No evidence of this bot or any external revenue being used to pay affiliates is provided.

The claim Velocity Token profits from “pump and dump” altcoins is somewhat amusing, seeing as that’s pretty much what Velocity Token is.

VTN is yet another altcoin launched for the sake of launching an altcoin. Outside of the attached lending scheme VTN are worthless, which is important because Velocity Token’s lending operates as a Ponzi scheme.

With no external funds the only verifiable source of revenue entering Velocity Token is newly invested funds.

Using newly invested funds to pay existing affiliates a daily ROI makes Velocity Token a Ponzi scheme.

Lending ICO Ponzis like Velocity Token play out as follows:

Admins (who are typically anonymous) offload worthless pre-generated points in exchange for real money. In this case it’s VTN points.

The admins then use some of this money to pay promised ROIs for as long as new affiliates sign up.

Once affiliate recruitment dries up so does the ROI reserve.

When a predetermined threshold is reached, the anonymous Velocity Token admins pull a runner with what’s left.

Early Velocity Token investors make a bit of money (mostly via recruitment of new investors). But same as any other Ponzi scheme, the reality of such scams is that the majority of participants eventually lose money.
