Description

Jeff was in my hometown of Hancock, MI and met me at my son's business to sign myself up for Optimus Prime Online trading. My son got set up a month earlier and I saw his trading balance going up everyday. So after a month I decided to join. I got my $600.00 deposit and gave it to Jeff and he helped me get started with the Optimus app and the online messages called Telegram where we received the code to enter into Optimus Prime for the daily trade. The Telegram was changed to AAC chat a month later. My balance was going up daily, so I had no cause for alarm. Until last night 11-17-2025 at around 7pm Jeff sent a group message and informed all of us that the Optimus was no more and not in a good way. I tried to do a withdrawal immediately and my funds were frozen. Lots of chatter on the message feed about how many people lost there initial deposit. As of this morning 11-18-2025 at 10:00am I still can't withdraw any funds. I don't know Jeff's last name. But I did meet him in person. He has also been to the area several times to sign up other people. The man running Optimus Prime is Mark Johnson.
