USB mining booster ruse Ponzi


Ricky’s Booster fails to supply possession or govt info on  its web site.

Ricky’s Booster operates from two recognized web site domains:

  1. rickybooster.com – privately registered January twenty second, 2025 (Korean registrar)

Ricky’s Booster

Ricky’s Booster is one other MLM crypto Ponzi constructed round fictional USB mining increase gadgets:

The identical Ponzi ruse has been utilized by MinerX and BitHarvest.

The gist of the ruse is magical USB gadgets one way or the other make current mining {hardware} extra environment friendly. Simply on a primary degree, if that was the case then crypto miners would already be utilizing them.

On a technological degree, a USB gadget isn’t going to make mining {hardware} extra environment friendly. No matter software program code exists on the USB stick might simply as simply be programmed into the mining {hardware}’s personal firmware/software program.

Underpinning Ricky’s Booster being nothing greater than a Ponzi scheme is failure to supply proof it has registered with monetary regulators in any jurisdiction.

In South Korea this might be the Monetary Companies Fee. Each nation with a regulated monetary market has its personal securities regulator.

Failing to register with monetary regulators and filed audited monetary studies constitutes securities fraud. Securities fraud and Ponzi schemes go hand in hand.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, as soon as affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new funding.

This may starve Ricky’s Booster of ROI income, finally prompting a collapse.

The maths behind Ponzi schemes ensures that after they collapse, the vast majority of contributors lose cash.
