Who is Roger Leotank aka The Number 5 Bitmex Trader?
You found this article while searching for Roger Leotank, to see if you should give him any of your hard-earned BTC or ETH. Roger Leotank has several groups on Telegram, which are as follows:
​
Roger Leotank Bitmex and Binance Channel
Roger Leotank Bitmex
Roger Leotank Bitmex VIP
​
I first learned of Roger when I was looking at the Leaderboard inside of Bitmex. At the current time, it ranks him as the number 6 XBT earner on the Bitmex Platform, as shown in the image below.
I thought I would see if he had any trading groups or if I was able to find him online.
While searching on Google, I found him on Telegram.
I sent him a message, and he gave me a link to join his FREE Telegram group.
​
Inside of this FREE Telegram group, he gives members the opportunity to join his PAID VIP Group for .01 BTC, for a 3-month subscription.
At the time I found him, that equated to appx. $100 USD. So I thought it was a low risk, to see if he would give some good signals on Bitmex.
Shortly after that, things started to get really weird.
He hardly gave any signals, and the ones he did give weren’t very accurate.
90% of the chat consisted of him pitching these peer to peer transactions, and he always needed 1.1 BTC or 5 - 12 ETH to complete them. Not only this, but he would guarantee 2-3X same day returns.
(Check out the example below:)
He also pitches his VIP group, ICO’s, etc.
He has a private trading fund that he originally said he had a Token for with Smart Contracts on Ethereum, but after I committed .1 BTC to the fund (Appx. $1,000 USD) at the time, he said it wasn’t set up on his token yet, and that is about a month out, but I could send him my .1 BTC. I asked if he had a white paper for it, and he said that would be coming out in appx. 1 month.
(Check out the screenshot below on the left for him advertising his LeoTank Token. The image below on the right is of him personally telling me he doesn't have the white paper yet. Come to find out, the coin isn't even developed yet.)
He also claims ridiculous returns on his fund. We are talking 300-500% in a 2-3 week period.
And the more you put into the fund, the more you get out.
I was supposed to get appx. 20-25% back per week. If I put in a .55 BTC, I believe it was closer to 50%, or some other unbelievable number. He did pay me out 1 week, and said he would pay me weekly, but he only made 1 payout.
I think he did that, in hopes that I would think he is legit, and I would go ahead and send him more BTC. Typical Ponzi Scheme.
(Look at him pushing for me to put in more.)
Here are a couple more examples of my experience with Mr. Roger Leotank.
I came close to giving him 1.2 BTC, to put into a peer to peer transaction, but it just wasn’t adding up. He claimed that his commissions were going to be over $200k, and if I wasn’t able to put in my 1.2 BTC, he was going to lose the deal.
He also agreed to Skype or a Zoom with me, but then he never followed through with it, and continued to come up with excuses as to why he wouldn’t do it.
(Screenshot below of me costing him $200k if I didn’t come through.)
So you are telling me, that a guy who claims to have over 2,100 BTC is just going to walk away from a $200k commission because someone like me wasn’t able to give him 1.2 BTC. Don’t you think he would’ve found a way to make it happen?
(The Claim of 2,150 BTC.)
Now we will move onto the last section!
​
(The Last 3+ Weekly Payouts, that never came.)
When he didn't send the BTC, I confronted him. After I confronted him, he removed me from his VIP group that I paid for, deleted all of the history from our chat, and removed me from his other groups.
Thankfully I took screenshots of the majority of these conversations before he deleted it all.
(I found him on Telegram again and sent him this message, but never heard back. Probably because this is an older account he hasn't used in a while, therefore hadn't blocked me from it.)
Update: I found him on Discord, and messaged him all of this info and he removed me from the Discord group and never responded to my a personal message.
I also asked a person I met in his group to send this information to him, and he ended up blocking that person as well! And that person hardly knew me. He was just trying to pass along the information, in order to help me out.
So should you send ANY BTC or ETH, or any crypto or fiat to Roger Leotank?
If you can’t tell from my experience with him, I am down USD 800 worth of BTC. Moreover, if I wouldn’t have experienced that gut feeling that told me not to send him 1.2 BTC, I would have lost USD 12,000 worth of BTC.
So why did I share all of this?
For justice.
To pay it forward.
To make sure that Roger Leotank couldn’t screw anyone else over, and that his Ponzi Scheme would come to an end.
I did all of my due diligence and Google Searches initially and couldn’t find anything on the guy. So now everyone will know the truth!
Unfortunately, so many of us fall prey to scams like this.
I would strongly encourage people to learn fundamental and technical analysis and do their trading, investing, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If I saved one person from financial loss, the time put forth into this website was worth it.
