GPBots Review: AI trading bot ruse Ponzi scheme
GPBots fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website. GPBot’s marketing videos feature badly animated AI avatars.
GPBots’ operates from two known website domains:
- gpbots.com – privately registered on May 27th, 2023
- gpbots.app – privately registered on June 3rd, 2023
Of note is GPBots’ use of DefiCode’s Arbot:
Arbot is a “drag and drop” tool used to create smart-contract Ponzi schemes.
Earlier this week BehindMLM noted Arbot’s use in the StakeMine Ponzi scheme. Due to its use of Portuguese, StakeMine is believed to be run by scammers in and/or from Brazil.
Although it’s presented in English, GPBots’ native website language code is also Portuguese:
This probably isn’t a coincidence. StakeMine and GPBots are likely run by the same group of scammers.
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.
GPBot’s Products
GPBot has no retailable products or services.
Affiliates are only able to market GPBot affiliate membership itself.
GPBot’s Compensation Plan
GPBots affiliates invest $20 to $10,000 in cryptocurrency. This is done on the promise of an advertised “up to” 1% a day ROI.
There are nine GPBot investment tiers:
- $20
- $50
- $100
- $200
- $500
- $1000
- $2500
- $5000
- $10,000
GPBots ROI rates are capped at 200%. This includes any MLM commissions and bonuses earned.
A GPBot affiliate can increase their ROI cap to 300% if they recruit five affiliates who’ve invested the same amount or higher.
Note that upon reaching the 200%/300% ROI cap, reinvestment is required to continue earning.
The MLM side of GPBots pays on recruitment of affiliate investors.
Referral Commissions
GPBots pays referral commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
GPBots caps referral commissions down five unilevel team levels.
Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of cryptocurrency invested across these five levels as follows:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
- levels 2 and 3 – 3%
- levels 4 and 5 – 2%
Note that referral commissions are only paid on the same or lesser amounts invested.
E.g if you have invested $500 into GPBots, you will earn referral commissions on $500 and less downline investments.
Residual Commissions
GPBots pays residual commissions via a 3×5 matrix.
A 3×5 matrix places an affiliates at the top of a matrix with three positions directly under them:
These three positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first three positions into another three positions each (9 positions).
Levels three to five of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level housing three times as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the matrix are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of GPBots affiliates.
Residual commissions are paid as a percentage of investment made across all five levels of the matrix:
- levels 1 to 4 of the matrix pays a 4% residual commission
- level 5 of the matrix pays a 10% residual commision
Note that each GPBots investment tier corresponds with its own residual commissions matrix.
Profit Sharing
10% of investment made across each residual commissions matrix tier is put into nine separate Profit Sharing pools.
The Profit Sharing pool is shared with GPBots affiliates who have recruited fifty affiliates and invested in each matrix tier.
Joining GPBots
GPBots affiliate membership is free.
Full participation in the attached income opportunity requires a minimum $20 investment.
GPBots solicits investment in various cryptocurrencies.
GPBots Conclusion
GPBots represents it generates external revenue through an AI trading bot.
Our intelligent automation identifies real-time arbitrage opportunities, enabling accurate and efficient buying and selling of Bitcoin across multiple trading platforms.
No evidence of GPBots generating revenue via trading is provided.
Furthermore, GPBots’ passive investment scheme constitutes a securities offering. GPBots provides no evidence it has registered with financial regulators.
This means that at a minimum, GPBots is committing securities fraud and operating illegally.
Registering with financial regulators means GPBots would have to file periodic audited financial reports. These reports would detail GPBots’ purported trading bot revenue.
GPBots can’t provide these audited reports because there is no trading bot.
As it stands the only verifiable source of revenue entering GPBot is new investment. Using new investment to pay earlier investor withdrawals would make GPBots a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve GPBot of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
Update 14th September 2023 – GPBots has collapsed.
Serial Ponzi Goblin Steve Lawson all over this: youtube.com/watch?v=XC3AnnquZR8
Well, you have Jeremy Rush, Ari Maccabi, and Darren Little pimping this so what could go wrong?
I mean Ari told all of us right here in this forum that he doesn’t do Ponzi’s and he has exposed over 600 of them. He’s the first to call them a Ponzi. So much for his due diligence skills he loves to brag about.
Jeremy is doing YouTube videos tellling everyone how much more they can make by referrals than just by the trading BOTS, but it’s real.
Funny how on his last video I saw he won’t allow comments. Guess he’s afraid someone will metion all of his failed Ponzi’s and scare people away.
Jeremy Rush, Ari Maccabi, and Darren Little and their Opts team members should all be prosecuted and go to jail.
(Ozedit: derail removed)
I highly doubt that this platform is actually performing “bitcoin arbitrage”. I made a video about it last week claiming it to be a scam.
Ari has been telling someone I know this has been pre planning for last 3 months. Apparently this is Darren little and Ari Maccabis platform from scratch but they are just acting like affiliates.
This will be their last stint in MLM crypto and they are hoping to call it a day after this will probably net them a few million.
And sheep like Steve Lawson follow him. Steve is also a number 1 scammer promoting fake crap like this.
I can confirm Ari Maccabi and Darren Little are the owners of GPBots.
If anyone is able to provide verifiable proof I’m all ears. I wasn’t so I didn’t include it in the review.
We might have a new Brazilian scam factory churning out cookie-cutter AI ruse Ponzis on a contract basis.
All scam promoters are in:
Mateusz Gużda
Erick Fox
Ari Maccabi
Darren Little
Steve Lawson
Ptc Pat
A lot of sheeps of Ari Maccabi like Ron Bonner, David Wood, Anton Amoto, Debbie Saal
Serge Blöte
Leslie Marks
Joshua Elder
Ryan Lomax Glover (sheep of Steve Lawson)
Darren has been trying to pump this for 2 months in telegram. Ari has been promoting it big time and the amount of people investing is crazy.
Ari has kicked out about 20 people in 24 hours for asking the basic is question . I asked for a zoom but he won’t ..
What is Darrens telegram channel or group?
Ari Macabbi is the real admin of GPbots. They were working on this “One for the road” what he used to call it for awhile.
This is his retirement plan. See how desperate he is to promote a scam like this? The worst one he has promoted in his career. Wonder why?
Can’t be sure if Ari is admin. He has said he never promotes ponzies.
This is what he’s doing right now.
After some time 1 month 2 months or even 6 months he will do a u turn and say something along the lines of…. I’m not promoting it now as ‘something doesn’t seem right’ or the owners are not transparent enough. Or they are not showing proof of trading …
Some garbage he will come out with! Like he is the saviour.
I have been Scammed By Ari and Ron I. This gpbots. How stupid can one be.
Darren little got me on a scam ponzi a few years ago. They, him and Ari say they did the do diligence then back paddle.
Once not trustworthy, always not trustworthy.
Good morning. I would like to post a Retraction regarding gpbots and Ari Maccabi and Ron.
I apologize for my Post. Ari is doing all he can to help me. I made a serious judgement.
Mistake and apologize to both Ari and Ron. Than you Maureen Rawlings-Sweet
Recruiting people into Ponzi schemes isn’t helping them.
Its typical ponzi scheme, dont invest there any money, all of scammers inside already. They dont have even real arbitrage, its simulation only.
Mark my words. Ari will stop promoting this in the next month or 2. He will call out… he found some red flags. Making him look like some kind of saviour.
But by that time he will have enough income flowing in to set him up for life. Then when it crashes it will be the ‘i told you so’ crap!!!
hello, so you think it’s just 2 months more this scam will run?? thanks
Like any Ponzi scheme, GPBots will “run” when new investment dries up.
The website looks like my 4 year old it. Offices in the posh part of london. Company registration which my 4 year old could. Steve Lawson, Ari Macabbi, vladislav stefanov all usual ponzi scammers. Ari has scammed me over $15k. He moved out of USA to evade capture of the amount of scams he has pulled
Steve Lawson I’m in process of reporting to local trading standard
is there no chance to stop these scammer bitches??
Ari is currently in London for the opening of the office. Joshua Elder will be there too.
Just a matter of time until Joshua Elder get charged by SEC for promoting ponzi schemes like Faith Sloan or Alisha Shepperd before.
Joshua Elder keeps coming up on this site. As soon as he smells a problem he will delete videos and pretend nothing ever happened and then move on to next scam.
Apparently the CEO is taking all leaders to football matches… in VIP BOXES.
Spending the peoples money on the LEADERS as usual. I bet they don’t show nothing on these fake bots work. Because they don’t.
The usual crap. Show offices, go to fancy dinners and thats it.
Joshua and Ari Macabbi are fools if they believe this is real.
Guess who is also at the event? Simon Hardy, the scammer of SolaRoad.
Check Ari Maccabis video, you will see Simon Hardy in the box.
Joshua, Ari and Rodney all know this is not real. They just pretend they believe it is real.
Can’t wait to hear the sob story Ari and Rodney will come up with when this goes bust.
You can bet we’ll hear how: they were lied to by the owner, or duped, or only built a large downline but didn’t make any money as they got stiffed on their commissions; the usual BS they trot out after every failed Ponzi they promote.
Despite all their fantastic due diligence they performed before joining, working behind the scenes to make sure this was done right, it will magically fail.
The only due diligence they do is: how long they think they can ride the gravy train before it collapses.
the mathematical law is working against these scammers they can never find enough new morons money to pay out all their old customers with their fake profits.
I would like to know when there is game over?? any ideas??
It’s game over when withdrawals exceed new investment. Same as any other Ponzi scheme.
the crooks have sponsored their website in Google search engine, I don’t think this will extend their life time this scam should not last more than 5 months.
Ari Maccabi’s has already dumped GPBots for a wire fraud donation 50 dollar gifting chat project.
You know he will point blame instead of just admit he’s the biggest most known scammer online.
hi Mike, do you believe he’s preparing the exit scam, how long this fraud will exist??
Same as any MLM Ponzi scheme, till new investment runs dry.
UPDATE:
Hi all,
Looks like the wheels are coming off the bus, no withdrawls in 3 days and the CEO is not responding to any messages.
From Ari:
My personal message to Ari Maccabi:
You asshole.
Why do you keep doing this to people after all of these years?
Got it.
Enough referral fees to live in the destitute Philippines on top of a female 1/2 your age.
Carry on.
SD
I see some confusion in the Facebook group I think it was about the withdrawals have stopped, is the scam business over or have they continued their fraud, thanks for any information
This can’t be a Ponzi. Ari, or as he likes to post here as TheTruth, exposes Ponzi’s, he also does his due diligence, he would never, ever join a Ponzi because he knows what is a Ponzi.
When a program does become a Ponzi it is because he was lied to or duped; and more importantly he never makes any money from his participation. He always loses money, or so he claims.
But wait, he does his due diligence so there would be no way he could be lied to or duped. Since he “exposes Ponzi’s he could not be duped or lied to because he prides himself on knowing what is and what is not a Ponzi, Never mind that he was been in more than 2 dozen of them. That’s a lot of being duped and lied too.
So much for his expertise in knowing what is and exposing Ponzi’s plus his doing his due diligence skills.
Ari was part of this set up, and so was Darren. Ari always uses the excuses I had So So much money in there, hardly withdrew anything. He uses it all the time. He knows very well to withdraw everything but tell his team the opposite.
Look at the comments above, Ari is no expert at all in spotting ponzis. he is the biggest culprit. He is a ponzi career criminal.
Now he is moving to another program and all the sheep will follow!!
