Conclusion

Orion Token claim to generate external ROI revenue through a “trading AI” bot.

Orion token has developed a trading AI that can execute volatility and arbitrage transactions at high speed.

No evidence of this bot existing is provided, leaving new investment as the sole source of ROI revenue.

Using newly invested funds to pay existing investors a daily 1.5% to 3.5% ROI makes Orion Token a Ponzi scheme.

Lending ICO Ponzis like Orion Token play out as follows:

Admins (who are typically anonymous) offload worthless pre-generated points in exchange for real money. In this case it’s ORN points.

Orion Token’s admins then use some of this money to pay promised ROIs for as long as new affiliates sign up.

Once affiliate recruitment dries up so does Orion Token’s ROI reserve.

When a predetermined threshold is reached, Orion Token’s anonymous admins do a runner with what’s left.

Early Orion Token investors make a bit of money (mostly via recruitment of new investors). But same as any other Ponzi scheme, the reality of such scams is that the majority of participants eventually lose money.

BitConnect and DavorCoin are recent examples of ICO lending Ponzi collapses in action.
