Vladislav Stefanov, identifying himself as a "Global Ambassador" for the purported crypto trading bot scheme Arbcore, claims its CEO is Evgeny Levin. Arbcore's website, registered privately on January 13, 2026, functions solely as a promoter signup form, offering no verifiable corporate details or executive transparency. The official Arbcore Telegram channel defaults to Russian, indicating a primary target demographic.

Stefanov, a Bulgarian national, has been linked to Dubai and currently states he operates from Thailand. He presents Levin as the CEO in YouTube videos. Levin's public presence appears limited to cellphone recordings filmed in an apartment, with no apparent corporate history or verifiable credentials.

Stefanov promotes Arbcore as part of Unity, a network he operates with Aderly Dupont. Unity itself functions as a feeder for fraudulent investment schemes. Dupont previously served as President of the Athena Group, another Ponzi scheme that launched in mid-2025. Athena Group's website has since been disabled.

Arbcore itself offers no retailable products or services. Its promoters exclusively market Arbcore promoter memberships. New promoters invest a minimum of 50 USDT, with the promise of a 250% return on investment, paid at a daily rate starting from 1.07%. The platform's multi-level marketing component centers entirely on recruiting new investors.

Arbcore's compensation plan features seven promoter ranks. The Bronze rank requires a 250 USDT investment, two personally recruited promoters, and 500 USDT in downline investment. Silver members must invest 1000 USDT, maintain two direct recruits, and generate 1000 USDT in downline volume. Gold requires a 2500 USDT investment, two recruits, and 5000 USDT in downline. Platinum promoters invest 5000 USDT, maintain two recruits, and achieve 10,000 USDT in downline investment. Diamond status requires a 10,000 USDT investment, two recruits, and 25,000 USDT in downline. Royal members invest 25,000 USDT, maintain two recruits, and generate 50,000 USDT in downline investment. The highest rank, Infinity, demands a 50,000 USDT investment, two recruits, and 100,000 USDT in downline volume.

Withdrawal limits are tied directly to these ranks. Bronze promoters can withdraw up to 1000 USDT daily. Silver members are capped at 2000 USDT per day. Gold allows up to 3000 USDT, and Platinum up to 4000 USDT. These tiered limits incentivize higher investments and recruitment to access more funds.

SimilarWeb data from February 2026 tracked approximately 38,200 monthly visits to the Arbcore website. Ukraine accounted for 42% of this traffic, followed by Belgium at 30%, and Germany at 19%. This geographic distribution suggests a significant reach into Eastern and Western European markets. The lack of transparent ownership and the reliance on recruitment for returns are common red flags associated with Ponzi schemes. Regulators worldwide, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, frequently warn against such opaque operations, noting the extreme difficulty in recovering funds once an anonymous scheme collapses. Investors should exercise extreme caution when considering any platform that lacks clear executive leadership or offers guaranteed, high returns without a verifiable business model.
