Hut 8 Mining Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
Hut 8 Mining fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Of note is Hut 8 Mining’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Hut 8 Mining Conclusion
Hut 8 Mining is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
Hut 8 Mining misappropriates the name and branding of the Hut 8, a crypto mining firm based out of Florida in the US.
Needless to say Hut 8 Mining has nothing to do with Hut 8.
Tying into its stolen identity, Hut 8 Mining’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is crypto mining:
The presented ruse is Hut 8 Mining affiliates purchase a virtual mining machine. They then log in and click a button to receive mining revenue (the more invested the more buttons have to be clicked).
Hut 8 Mining’s cloud mining operations purportedly generate revenue, which is then shared with affiliates.
If that makes no sense it’s because it doesn’t. If Hut 8 Mining already has crypto mining operations set up, what do they need your money for?
In reality clicking a button in Hut 8 Mining’s app does nothing. All Hut 8 Mining does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
Hut 8 Mining is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that emerged in late 2021.
Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the stolen identity ruse are Vibra VIP, Agility VIP and Devon Oil. Crypto mining examples include SpaceMiner, FiroCloud and Sky TRX.
Since 2021 BehindMLM has documented hundreds of “click a button” app Ponzis. Most of them last a few weeks to a few months before collapsing
“Click a button” app Ponzis disappear by disabling both their websites and app. This tends to happen without notice, leaving the majority of investors with a loss (inevitable Ponzi math).
As part of a collapse, “click a button” Ponzi scammers often initiate recovery scams. This sees the scammers demand investors pay a fee to access funds and/or re enable withdrawals.
If any payments are made withdrawals remain disabled or the scammers cease communication.
Organized crime interests from China operate scam factories behind “click a button” Ponzis from south-east Asian countries.
In September 2024, the US Department of Treasury sanctioned Cambodian politician Ly Yong Phat over ties to Chinese human trafficking scam factories.
Through various companies he owns, Phat is alleged to shelter Chinese scammers operating out of Cambodia.
Regardless of which country they operate from, the same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
