Arkbit Review: Boris CEO crypto mining Ponzi scheme
Arkbit provides no credible ownership or executive information on its website.
Supposedly Arkbit is headed up by founder and Chief Financial Officer Thomas Brewer.
“Thomas Brewer” is actually US actor Mike Wolfe. The only professional credit to Wolfe’s name is the 2019 short-film Sugardaddy:
We can rule out Arkbit just using a photo of Wolfe as he appears in at least one marketing video:
That video was shot in rented office space in Little Rock, Arkansas:
Arkbit provides details for several other executives, all of which are assumed to also be actors.
Arkbit’s website domain (“arkbitcapital.com”), was first registered in September 2021. The private registration was last updated on November 28th, 2022.
Arkbit’s social media profiles were created in late 2022, so it appears the domain was acquired by Arkbit’s owners in late 2022.
Typically Boris CEO Ponzi schemes originate from eastern Europe. I was unable to confirm this with Arkbit.
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.

The MLM side of Arkbit pays on recruitment of affiliate investors.
Referral Commissions
Arkbit affiliates earn a 6% to 7% referral commission on funds invested by personally recruited affiliates.
- Novice to Supreme tier affiliates earn a 6% referral commission rate
- Exclusive and higher tier affiliates earn a 7% referral commission rate
Residual Commissions
Arkbit pays residual commissions via a binary compensation structure.
A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
At the end of each pay period, Arkbit tallies up new investment volume on both sides of the binary team.
Affiliates are paid 10% of new investment volume on their weaker binary team side.
Once paid out on, volume is matched against the stronger binary team side and flushed. Any leftover volume on the stronger binary team side carries over into the following pay period.
Note that Arkbit don’t define the pay period. Typically however they are daily, weekly or monthly.
Joining Arkbit
Arkbit affiliate membership is free.
Full participation in the attached income opportunity requires a minimum $50 investment.
Arkbit solicits investment in bitcoin, ethereum, dogecoin and litecoin.
Arkbit Conclusion
Arkbit is your typical Boris CEO Ponzi scheme.
Although not used as much now that it’s mostly unprofitable, crypto mining has been one of the most popular Ponzi ruses over the past few years.
ARKBIT allows you to start cloud mining the most popular and most capitalised coins with a profit of up to 400x, with our Smart Investment Contracts.
Even if you buy into Arkbit’s marketing ruse, the business model still fails the Ponzi logic test.
Anyone capable of generating 4% a day isn’t graciously giving you access for free. They’re quietly generating that return for themselves, compounding and, in a short amount of time, becoming one of the richest people on the planet.
On its website Arkbit provides the address of the Arkansas rented office it filmed its marketing video in.
Being a passive investment opportunity with ties to the US, Arkbit is required to register with the SEC.
Arkbit isn’t registered with the SEC. This means that, at a minimum, Arkbit is committing securities fraud.
The only reason MLM companies commit securities fraud is because they aren’t doing what they claim to be.
Arkbit isn’t engaged in crypto mining or any other form of external revenue generation. All they’re doing is recycling newly invested funds to pay off existing investors.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Arkbit of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
Update 24th November 2023 – Following regulatory action from Arkansas back in June, Arkbit has collapsed.
Update 8th January 2024 – Arkbit Capital has been rebooted as ABC Holdings.
Delmar Estabrook is listed as the CEO on the website, will see if I can find his acting history too 😀

On their documents page the Russian leaflet is 2nd only to English, so strong Russian indication.
Yeah I figured if the founder was an actor they all were. Felt like the review intro was long enough without sussing it out :D.
Interesting how they claim to own “state-of-the-art green energy-powered data center facilities in Arkansas” yet provide no evidence of such.
Arkbit is a scam. They stop paying earnings since July 25th.
No support chat in website.
No reply from support.
No reply from WhatsApp support.
No answer when you call their office.
I have a slight correction. For legal reasons, I won’t disclose how I know this, but the video wasn’t shot in Little Rock, AR.
The video was shot in a rented office space in Los Angeles. The footage of the exterior of the building was either shot separately, or is B-Roll/stock footage.
And every member of the team on Arkbit’s website, as well as everyone “on lunch break” in that video are all actors.
I was investor in ARKbit since few months…however,..last withtrawall sucked…they say that withrawall was done successfully,.. but money never received in my wallet..
so I talked to my upline on FB,..and he blocked me.. support not answering and no answer by email… when I returned to my account,.. they blocked my account.. so no way to contact anyone,.. this platform is real scam.
Arkbit is a scam. Please dont invest.
This is real. 12/25 i withdraw money. Today is 1/7 and i am still waiting. No one is answering now.
Ark bit is a big scum those who are still investing.my account withdrawals has been put on hold since December 5th 2023 to date. I invested huge, they locked all my account without any reason.
The below is what pop up whenever i logon to my account.All suppoert contacts i have ar not responding they went on mute.
I have tried even support on facebook non- is responding.My downlines are on my neck.I do not know what to do.If you are investing here be carefll.
When you join for the first time they pretend to very responsive. There is a support i don’t know Relationship Manager called Lawrence Oslon (removed).
He used to respond to me very first. Nowadays he is on mute just ignoring my whatups message.
There is another marketer call Jey Prendiville mobile (removed).They used to answer any question i hade but now they went silence.
It’s not good to scum people and you still claim you have the best platform. Be warned learning from my worst experience.
Andrew, Ann, Benter can you check to what “ArkBit” or “ABC mining” You invested, because was platform copies organised by scammers.
I know ArkBit is working and pay. Who live in USA and could go to check mining farm in Arkansas ?
How about the state of Arkansas? The Arkansas Securities Commission already confirmed Arkbit has nothing to do with Arkansas.

Stop making excuses for scammers.
Arkbit is a total scam. We filed lawsuit and got judgment.
No real office. No employees in address.
Arkansas issued a cease and desist. Stay away.
ArkBit ABC Holding made pause in payment …….
They setup new company name, new URL to scam more people.
I see leaders promoting ABC Holdings on FB. Total scam. Stay away
BehindMLM has reviewed ABC Holdings. There’s a link to the review in the latest update on this review.
Fuck it damn scammer… you are trying to tell that i invest in a wrong place ?? You are fuckers..
i invested in arkbit since the begining,.. and was only 1 place to do it at this time… now you opened other site and tell people that they invest in wrong arkbit (abc) site?
You are damn liers..thief.. you must be shame on what you are doing to honest and poor people who beleived in you.
This review has been up for over a year.
You’re only now getting mad? Sorry for your loss.
Same as Antares, Alcor, twocrypt, Ramboll, Rochefx, firstscrap, rolvi, arkbit, goldvsion, etfore, fxtrade, archidex, wework, tronmining, and many many more..
yeah I know,.. i lost over 50k by trying cause i beleived… but today is diffrent,.. i leard alot from scammers.. they work as a team and all comment showing withdrawall proof with fake screenshots… easy to make..
i am sa serious investor..and can invest alot of money… but there is no real platform doing this.. otherwise averyone invest in it and platform mist be very popular… but platforms runs 1 to 2 years and then close. Who tells anything else are liers.
I think moneyretti might just nudge out “I will die for Ant Farm” as the stupidest commentator here ever.
ArkBit ABC Holding not pay, take care !
ArkBit the same ABC Holding scamming investors, never send money to them ! Interpol will arrest all them soon.
All investors all countries – tell more who was blocked and lost money ? ArkBit = ABC Holdings not withdraw till now !
Leon Claes (Finland) and Jey Prendiville (Sweden) are scammers involved in this fraud, take care !
Like any Ponzi scheme, the majority of Arkbit/ABC Holdings investors lost money.
Sorry for your loss.
