anchored·3quiFS…WZ1CSummary
iEarn Bot (also referred to as iEarnBot, marketed via EarnBot.io) is a purported AI-driven crypto trading application that a BBC investigation and multiple fraud trackers describe as operating like a Ponzi scheme, using new investor deposits to fund advertised returns. The company claimed roughly 800,000 users in Indonesia and marketed itself heavily across Romania, Nigeria, Vietnam, Cambodia and Latin America, but a BBC investigation found its listed founder and claimed "strategic partners" (MIT, Huawei, Qualcomm) denied any association with the firm. Reports describe a 30% withdrawal fee imposed on users followed by withdrawals being stopped altogether, with the operator citing payment-processor and maintenance issues; blockchain analytics firm Elliptic estimated roughly $6 million moved through related wallets while disputing much larger figures ($1.3 billion) circulating in some secondary reports, so the true scale of losses remains disputed.
