Optimus VIP Review: Boris CEO AI bot grift Ponzi from Brazil
Optimus VIP, aka Optimus Invest, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Optimus VIP’s website domain (“optimus.vip”), was privately registered in August 30th, 2024.
Of note is Optimus VIP’s official FaceBook page being managed from Brazil:
This coincides with Optimus VIP’s offsite marketing naming Antonio Salas as CEO in off-site marketing:
Salas is represented to be operating from a rented office in Brazil.
Salas doesn’t exist outside of Optimus VIP’s marketing, making him a prime Boris CEO candidate.
Typically Boris CEO schemes are run by eastern Europeans, however they’re not known to operate in Brazil. It’s highly likely Salas is a front for unknown actors behind Optimus VIP.
Finally, it should be noted that Optimus VIP has been set up with a group of former MinerX Ponzi promoters at the top.
Here’s Glenn Smith, Kevin Latmore, “Tiger Tony” and their scamming buddies in south-east Asia promoting MinerX in mid to late 2024:
And here they are now with OptimusX, at or around launch in late 2024:
MinerX is an MLM crypto Ponzi that launched in early 2024. Top promoters abandoning ship suggests MinerX is on its last legs.
Other than the same group of scammers defrauding consumers through both schemes, I’m not aware of any other ties between MinerX and Optimus VIP.
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.
Optimus VIP’s Products
Optimus VIP has no retailable products or services.
Affiliates are only able to market Optimus VIP affiliate membership itself.
Optimus VIP’s Compensation Plan
Optimus VIP affiliates invest 20 or more tether (USDT). This is done on the promise of an 0.8% daily ROI, capped at 200%.
Upon reaching 200%, new investment is required to continue earning.
Note that Optimus VIP charges a 10% fee on all withdrawals.
The MLM side of Optimus VIP pays on recruitment of affiliate investors.
Referral Commissions
Optimus VIP pays a 10% referral commissions on USDT invested by personally recruited affiliates.
Residual Commissions
Optimus VIP 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.
Every two hours Optimus VIP tallies up new investment volume on both sides of the binary team.
Residual commissions are paid as 10% of USDT invested on the weaker binary team side.
Once paid out on, investment volume is matched against the stronger binary team side and flushed. Leftover volume on the stronger binary team side carries over.
Note that to qualify for residual commissions, Optimus VIP affiliates must recruit and maintain one affiliate with an active investment on both sides of their binary team.
Withdrawal Commissions
Optimus VIP affiliates earn a percentage of withdrawal fees charged to their downline.
Optimus VIP pays withdrawal 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.
Optimus VIP caps payable unilevel team levels at five.
Withdrawal commissions are paid as a percentage of withdrawal fees charged across these five levels as follows:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 2.4%
- level 2 – 1.6%
- levels 3 to 5 – 0.8%

Optimus VIP Conclusion
Optimus VIP represents it generates external revenue via an AI trading bot;
We have proprietary AI software and algorithms developed in Tel Aviv-Israel that operate directly on the world’s main Trading platforms.
Aside from being a common MLM Ponzi ruse, Optimus VIP fails to provide verifiable evidence to prove its claims.
Such evidence would be audited financial reports filed with regulators, a legal requirement in any country Optimus VIP solicits investment in.
And on the topic of regulation, it’s also worth noting Optimus VIP appears to violate financial laws by offering financial services through MasterCard without KYC.
This is another common set up of scams, typically created through an inconspicuous shell company tied to a dodgy merchant processor.
As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering Optimus VIP is new investment.
The use of new investment to pay ROI withdrawals would make Optimus VIP a Ponzi scheme. This ties in with Optimus VIP promoters jumping from one MLM crypto Ponzi to another.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Optimus VIP of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
I had a private interview with the CEO and 2 of his top marketers. 100% ponzi scam.
He hardly answered my questions, they were subjective answers with 0 credible sources.
One of his marketers had a Freudian slip and mentioned it being a binary and it will only last about 2 years.
I doubted that and he said yeah probably not but that is the goal.
Stay away!
Thank you OZ.

Been a busy few months. Reviews get done when they get done.
