Options Rider gunning for one last investment hoorah?

Options Rider is dangling a final offer to new investors, and the signs of desperation are unmistakable.

The company has been hemorrhaging credibility for months. Disgruntled investors have flooded comment sections with withdrawal complaints. One investor who put in $4,000 and watched it grow to $44,000 posted a simple question: will I see any payout? The answer remains unclear. Meanwhile, Options Rider's e-wallet provider suspended services for most of the month, cutting off a critical payment channel.

Now Bob Roberts, the company's operator, is making a last-ditch pitch. In an email sent October 20th, 2015, he's offering massive bonuses to anyone who deposits $10,000 or more—50% returns handed over immediately. Invest $25,000 and get a 100% bonus. Even existing clients can get bonuses by reinvesting their supposed gains. It reads like a company gasping for cash.

The timing is revealing. Roberts claims Options Rider will close registration once it hits 15,000 clients. This isn't the first time he's made that promise. Back in May 2015, comments on the BehindMLM review claimed the company would stop accepting new clients within 50 days. That put a cutoff at July 8th. It never happened. More than 155 days later, Options Rider was still recruiting investors and taking deposits.

Every time the deadline passed, a new one appeared. And every time, Roberts dangled the same carrot: closing soon, so act now. Each deadline evaporated. Each time, investors bought in anyway.

The math behind Options Rider's model is simple. The company doesn't actually invest money. It shuffles newly deposited funds to pay existing investors their promised returns. This is textbook Ponzi mechanics. Once new money stops flowing, the whole structure collapses. Roberts knows this. Cutting off new registrations—his primary revenue source—would kill the operation immediately.

Yet he keeps claiming he'll do exactly that. And he keeps sweetening the deal to make sure money keeps flowing in.

The 50% and 100% bonuses aren't gifts. They're a sign the company needs cash badly. Offering to double new deposits on the spot is what operations do when they're running on fumes and need a last infusion before imploding. It's also what they do to lock in investors who might otherwise grow suspicious.

Roberts is betting that the promise of imminent closure combined with the lure of instant bonuses will push one more wave of deposits through the door. The message is clear: this is your last chance, so move fast.

For the investors already trapped in the system, watching their $4,000 theoretically multiply to $44,000 while unable to withdraw, the message is different. They're watching a con artist play his final hand.
