My 24 Hour Income Collapses Again, This Time Behind a KYC Wall
A Ponzi scheme faces an impossible math problem: pay affiliates enough to keep them investing, but not so much that you run out of money. My 24 Hour Income just proved why that equation never works.
The scheme promised 130% returns on investment. That promise was always unsustainable. Last December, the money ran out. The site went dark for over a month while admin Drew Burton blamed hackers and DDOS attacks. When My 24 Hour Income came back online in January, desperate measures kicked in—withdrawals now required reinvesting up to 90% of what members tried to take out.
That lasted a few weeks before the whole thing collapsed again a week ago.
This time Burton claimed bitcoin processors were moving too slowly. The average bitcoin transaction takes about ten minutes. Burton told anxious affiliates it was taking days. He promised to switch back to "the old bitcoin system" within 24 hours if things didn't improve. Days later, nothing changed. He pulled the site offline again.
Now he's telling members the site will return in a few weeks. The official reason? Implementing KYC—know your customer—verification requirements. Burton says he needs to "add KYC to my24 for stability of the system and really clean it up."
The real reason is simpler: the faucet needs to shut off.
When the site was operational, My 24 Hour Income bragged about paying out millions in ROI. For a Ponzi scheme drowning in liabilities, that's a death sentence. So Burton is tightening the valve. He's now demanding KYC documents from members before they can make their first withdrawal, claiming fake accounts created by hackers and members stacking referral accounts have drained the system.
His evidence? When payment processor Payeer blocked US members from withdrawals, the Payeer fund balance grew faster. Burton discovered roughly 280 fake or stacked accounts in the system.
Rather than admit the scheme is collapsing under its own weight, Burton is blaming the victims. Anyone complaining about being unable to withdraw? They're "the ones with stacked accounts or fake accounts," he says. Even members who invested real money.
Burton's solution is to create a private Facebook group where he can remove "negative people and comments." He believes most criticism comes from non-members trying to harm the system or people he's already purged from the user base.
What this actually means is that My 24 Hour Income is now using KYC requirements as cover while it quietly stalls. Members can't withdraw money. The site stays offline. And Drew Burton buys time while what's left of the money disappears.
The collapse isn't over. It's just entering a new phase where silence replaces transparency, and access becomes the real barrier keeping people's money locked inside.
