Animoca VIP Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
Animoca VIP fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Animoca VIP operates from two known website domains:
- animvip.com – registered with bogus details on December 31st, 2024
- aniquantify.com – registered with bogus details on December 30th, 2024
Of note is both of Animoca VIP’s website domains being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Animoca VIP Conclusion
Animoca VIP is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
Animoca VIP misappropriates the name and branding of Animoca, a software and venture capital company based out of Hong Kong.
Needless to say Animoca VIP has nothing to do with Animoca the Hong Kong company.
Animoca VIP’s Ponzi ruse is “quantitative trading”.
You only need to click one click to quantify and wait for 1-2 minutes to achieve profits.
The presented ruse is Animoca VIP affiliates log in and click a button (the more invested the more the button needs to be clicked).
Clicking the button purportedly generates revenue via quantitative trading, which for some reason Animoca VIP shares a percentage of with affiliate investors.
If that makes no sense it’s because it doesn’t. Randoms clicking a button in an app doesn’t trigger quantitative trading.
In reality clicking a button inside Animoca VIP’s app does nothing. All Animoca VIP does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the stolen identity ruse are Puma Invest, TCDD USD and Lactalis USD. Recent quantitative trading ruse examples are QUA AI Bot, Bytesi and AQR Quantify.
Since 2021 BehindMLM has documented hundreds of “click a button” app Ponzis. Most of them last a few weeks to a few months before collapsing.
“Click a button” app Ponzis disappear by disabling both their websites and app. This tends to happen without notice, leaving the majority of investors with a loss (inevitable Ponzi math).
As part of a collapse, “click a button” Ponzi scammers often initiate recovery scams. This sees the scammers demand investors pay a fee to access funds and/or re enable withdrawals.
If any payments are made withdrawals remain disabled or the scammers cease communication.
Organized crime interests from China operate scam factories behind “click a button” Ponzis from south-east Asian countries.
In September 2024, the US Department of Treasury sanctioned Cambodian politician Ly Yong Phat over ties to Chinese human trafficking scam factories.
Through various companies he owns, Phat is alleged to shelter Chinese scammers operating out of Cambodia.
Regardless of which country they operate from, the same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
