🤖 How Does the "AI Bot" Scheme Work?

In schemes of this kind the investor is told that the money is entrusted to an "automated trading bot". The USDT or Bitcoin sent appears on the dashboard as a balance that grows every day; when a withdrawal is requested, a new payment is demanded under the name of "tax", "network fee" or "account verification". The profit shown on the dashboard has no counterpart in the market.
