The Optimus VIP Ponzi scheme has collapsed. Following collapse, Optimus VIP has been rebooted as DigitalCredit.

At time of publication Optimus VIP’s website is still up. Optimus VIP’s social media profiles however appear to have been abandoned on or around March 10th.

Instead of being honest about Optimus VIP being a Ponzi scheme that collapsed, DigitalCredit is being presented as a merger.

As per a March 20th Optimus VIP marketing webinar hosted by promoter “Tiger Tony”;

[2:23] We found a merging with one of the huge companies in the global. We are partnership together with a merging. So that is what is happening right now.

DigitalCredit operates from the domain “adigitalcredit.com”), privately registered through a Brazilian address on December 3rd, 2024.

Contrary to Tiger Tony’s claim, DigitalCredit is not a “huge company”. It’s barely a few months old.

Optimus VIP’s Ponzi ruse was the usual crypto trading nonsense. DigitalCredit’s Ponzi ruse is slightly different;

DigitalCredit operates as a platform that facilitates ICO (Initial Coin Offering) trading through sustainable assets such as
plastic credits, carbon credits, and agricultural commodities.

Still trading but now it’s made up third-parties paying DigitalCredit in a ruse that makes no sense.

Its business model enables agricultural producers to obtain capital for exporting products like sugar, meat, and coffee.

DigitalCredit manages this capitalization and sells the rights to these assets on its platforms to global buyers, generating an operational spread.

No legitimate business is is paying a months old shady Ponzi reboot to handle trading of their assets.

And to that end, like Optimus VIP, no verifiable evidence is provided to support DigitalCredit’s marketing claims.

Instead, Optimus VIP bagholders are just expected to go along for the ride – to the tune of up to 100,000 USDT a pop.

Perhaps wary of demanding upfront payments from fresh Ponzi victims, DigitalCredit has split investment amounts into 10% monthly increments:

Regardless of the amount invested, a 0.65% to 1% Monday-Friday ROI is pitched (Optimus VIP was 0.8%).

The MLM side of DigitalCredit is pretty much a repeat of Optimus VIP:

  • 10% referral commission
  • 8% residual commission, paid through a binary and capped at the invested amount per day
  • rank achievement bonuses topping out at $1,000,000 for Black Diamond
  • 10% withdrawal fee and “25% of earnings” quarterly fee

As of February 2025, SimilarWeb was tracking ~574,000 monthly visits to Optimus VIP’s website. This was up 313% month on month, with the majority of traffic originating from the US (53%).

Investors in Kazakhstan also got rinsed, coming in at 35% of Optimus VIP’s website traffic.

It’s assumed March 2025 Optimus VIP website traffic either stalled or went into decline – hence the collapse. Alternatively Antonio Salas and friends just decided to play it safe and disappear.

There is no mention of Salas on DigitalCredit’s website. Optimus VIP’s and Digital Credit’s respective websites are also coded differently.

It’s entirely possible Optimus VIP investor details have been sold to recovery scammers.

Either way, reboot scams typically collapse sooner rather than later. USDT invested into Optimus VIP should be considered lost, with total investor losses also unknown.

 

Update 24th April 2025 – Tiger Tony’s March 20th Optimus VIP webinar has been marked private on YouTube.
