WOKE Finance (沃客理财) is a Ponzi scheme disguised under the concept of virtual currency, and it is not a compliant project supported by real blockchain technology. The project uses the gimmick of 'high returns, low risk' to design a deceptive model of 'static returns + dynamic rebates', with the core goal of harvesting the principal of ordinary investors.

In terms of operational logic, participants must first pay funds to purchase the so-called 'WOKE tokens' in order to qualify for static returns. The project party claims that the tokens will continue to appreciate, promising to double returns in a short period. At the same time, the project party vigorously promotes a dynamic reward mechanism for 'referring others', where participants can earn tiered commissions based on the investment amount of each new recruit they develop. The more recruits developed and the larger the team size, the higher the rebate ratio.

In essence, WOKE Finance has no actual business scenario or profit source; the so-called appreciation of tokens and rebates entirely depend on the funds invested by new participants to pay out, making it a typical Ponzi scheme. As the growth in the number of participants slows down, the new funds cannot cover the rebate demands of old users, leading to a sudden break in the capital chain. Ultimately, the project operators abscond with a large amount of investors' funds, disappearing without a trace and leaving behind chaos, with countless participants losing their investments. This case has also become a typical negative example of illegal fundraising using Ponzi schemes in the early cryptocurrency circle.
