Why Aurum’s EX-AI Bot Looks Like “CashFX 2.0”

Many people are being shown Aurum Foundation’s EX-AI trading bot, which claims to generate between 0.3% and 0.9% daily profits (around 15–20% monthly). The back office shows slick dashboards and daily profit updates — and on the surface, it looks impressive.

But if you’ve been around the crypto/forex space for a few years, this pattern should feel familiar.

We’ve Seen This Before

A few years ago, the Petions and Huascar Lopez ran CashFX (Cash Forex Group). It used exactly the same playbook:

Daily returns of 1–3% were displayed in glossy dashboards.
Affiliate bonuses rewarded recruitment of new investors.
Videos and testimonials showed supposed profits and withdrawals.
No independent proof of real trades ever surfaced.

Eventually, regulators (like the FCA in the UK and CONSOB in Italy) warned CashFX was unauthorised and likely a Ponzi scheme. Withdrawals froze, the system collapsed, and many people lost money.

Side-by-Side Red Flags

CashFX (then)	Aurum (now)
1–3% daily returns claimed	0.3–0.9% daily returns claimed
Multi-level recruitment bonuses	Affiliate commissions for referrals
Glossy dashboards with “profits”	Same — slick UI showing live “trades”
No audited proof of trading	No third-party audit or broker statements
Collapsed once inflows slowed	Still active, but identical structure

The “Big Name” Factor

One difference with Aurum is that they’ve brought in Bryan Benson, a former Binance LATAM executive, as CEO. That adds credibility on the surface, but it doesn’t prove that the trading bot is real. Scams in the past have often recruited well-known names (sometimes knowingly, sometimes not) to boost their image.

Bottom Line

Without independent proof of actual trades (e.g. audited broker statements, regulatory filings), there’s no way to know whether Aurum’s EX-AI bot is genuine or just another Ponzi scheme dressed in AI clothing.

If something is promising steady 15–20% per month returns, history tells us to be extremely cautious.
