Keep It 100 Conclusion

Keep It 100 is a simple Ponzi scheme. Cryptocurrency is deposited into a “liquidity protocol” (crypto bro speak for “admin account”), which is used to pay withdrawal requests.

Despite Keep It 100 being that simple, Terrence Pounds does make a token effort to hide fraud in Keep It 100’s marketing.

We are heavily invested in digital assets, mining operations, staking protocols, decentralized applications, arbitrage & crypto ai robots as well as various pamm accounts.

These sound like the ruses used by the various other Ponzi schemes Pounds is promoting.

Vortic United is a Russian MLM crypto Ponzi scheme run out of Turkey.

On the regulatory front we’ve already established Pounds is based out of the US.

In June 2023 SimilarWeb tracked over 400,000 visits to Keep It 100’s website, of which roughly 30% is attributable to the US.

Keep It 100 makes no attempt to mask its passive returns investment opportunity. This is straight from Keep It 100’s website FAQ;

What is the yield on my investment?

You will receive 10% per day for the entire investment period of 10 business days. Then we will release 25% of seed capital back as well.

The revenue yields with the 25% principal return included on the end resulting in 125% ROI. The full investment breakeven is 10 business days.

Keep It 100’s passive returns investment scheme constitutes a securities offering. In the US securities are regulated by the SEC.

Neither Keep It 100 or Terrence Pounds are registered with the SEC. This means that at a minimum, Keep It 100 is committing securities fraud.

As per the SEC, securities fraud and Ponzi schemes go hand in hand:

Many Ponzi schemes involve unlicensed individuals or unregistered firms.

Despite its “no rug pull or scam guarantee”, Keep It 100 isn’t above the basic laws of mathematics.

Affiliate recruitment inevitably dying down will starve Keep It 100 of ROI revenue.

This will eventually lead to a collapse, resulting in the majority of Keep It 100 affiliates losing money.

 

Update 29th July 2023 – Keep It 100 has collapsed.

 

Update 5th April 2024 – Terrence Pounds was sentenced to 7.8 years in prison on March 20th.
