Orange Cat Energy has collapsed.

To further milk their victims, Chinese scammers behind the “click a button” app Ponzi have rolled out a “fake taxes” exit-scam.

Orange Cat Energy collapsed on April 4th. Instead of being honest about why withdrawals had been disabled, Orange Cat Energy’s admins trotted out baloney about a “pre-IPO audit”;

Currently, the company has officially commenced preparations for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on NASDAQ (targeting the year 2027).

In accordance with the requirements of international capital markets, a comprehensive financial and tax audit must be conducted prior to the IPO.

The results of this audit will directly impact the legal validity of your earnings, the verification of your assets, and your future dividend entitlements.

With investor funds locked up, next was more baloney about “preliminary tax settlements”;

Why is a Preliminary Tax Settlement Required? Within the European tax system (specifically regarding Germany), all business revenue is subject to tax reconciliation; failure to comply may result in the following consequences:

-Revenue being withheld or frozen

-Delays in payouts

-Exclusion from the exchange’s asset verification system

To safeguard the rights of its partners, the company is offering the following during the audit period:

Unified Tax Pre-Settlement Channel (open for a limited time only)

In accordance with applicable legal standards, the company will assist you in calculating your Value Added Tax (VAT) liability:

VAT Calculation Standard: 19% of the device value

Needless to say Orange Cat Energy investors who pay the 19% ransom fee will only add to their losses.

Usually a “click a button” app Ponzi just disappears when it collapses. If one gets bit enough though, it’s not uncommon for the Chinese scammers running them to further milk their victims.

BehindMLM has documented the “fake taxes” exit-scam in “click a button” app Ponzis dating back to 2022; VCCP, Conti and BLQ Football.

In case it wasn’t clear, money invested into Orange Cat Energy is gone. This includes any fake taxes fees or any other payments made.

The usual play from here is milking the most gullible investors for a week or so before disappearing. Bullshit updates will continue to be pushed out on social media. Reboot app scams will also likely be created and pitched.

BG Wealth Sharing investors should probably take note. This is how all “click a button” app Ponzis end.

 

Update 7th April 2026 – Orange Cat Energy has disabled its websites and deleted its social media profiles.
