The Central Bank of Russia issued a pyramid fraud warning against DGPT on October 1st, 2024, citing a lack of transparency and an unsustainable investment model. The platform operates without disclosing its ownership or executive team, a common characteristic of high-risk schemes.
DGPT's primary website, dgpt.club, was registered on August 27, 2024, using fabricated details through Alibaba (Singapore). An earlier domain, dgpt.cloud, privately registered in July 2023, has already been abandoned. The support page on DGPT's current website uses the Meiqia platform, suggesting operational ties to entities in China.
The company offers no tangible products or services for retail. Affiliates engage solely in marketing DGPT memberships to new investors. This structure aligns with pyramid schemes, where new member funds pay earlier members.
Investors convert Tether (USDT) into various packages, each promising fixed returns over set periods. The RTX4090 plan, for example, requires 100 USDT, promising 110 USDT back over ten days. Larger commitments include the A5000 plan, where 500 USDT allegedly yields 1500 USDT in three months, and the H100 plan, requiring 5000 USDT for an advertised 35,000 USDT return over seven months.
Separate "accelerator" plans also exist, offering daily returns. A Primary Text Task investment of 50 USDT claims 1.6 USDT per day. Accelerator 3, at 200 USDT, purports to generate 7 USDT daily. These plans function as additional avenues for capital inflow without a clear source of external revenue.
DGPT implements a three-tier referral commission system based on new investments. Personally recruited affiliates, or Level 1, generate 5% to 8% commissions. Level 2 recruitment yields 3% to 6%, and Level 3 contributes 1% to 4%. Commission rates scale upwards as an affiliate's personal investment and their downline's total investment increase.
The scheme frames its operations around an "AI cloud computing" narrative. DGPT claims to connect the "arithmetic power" of users' idle personal devices, such as mobile phones and computers, to its platform. These devices are supposedly converted into rentable resources, allowing individuals to earn by "renting out" their computing power, while enterprises rent this power for large-scale computing needs.
However, the actual user engagement involves logging into an app daily to "click a button." This action is described as "helping to train AI." The frequency of required clicks directly corresponds to the amount an affiliate has invested. Fulfilling the daily click quota is presented as the condition for receiving promised daily returns. The premise that simple button clicks contribute meaningfully to AI training or generate substantial returns from "idle arithmetic power" lacks any technical or logical basis.
Individuals considering such investment opportunities should exercise extreme caution, especially when promised high returns with no verifiable business model. Reports of investment fraud, including details on how to report it, can be found through national financial protection agencies such as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in the United States.
