AQR Quantify Review: Quantitative trading “click a button” Ponzi
AQR Quantify fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
AQR Quantify operates from two known website domains:
- aqr-usdt.com – registered with bogus details on April 25th, 2024 (already abandoned)
- aqr-quantify.vip – registered with bogus details on October 24th, 2024
Of note is both of AQR Quantify’s website domains being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).
If we poke around AQR Quantify’s website we find Chinese:
The Chinese registrar and Chinese on AQR Quantify’s website suggests whoever is running it has ties to China.
AQR Quantify has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued an AQR Quantify pyramid fraud warning on October 29th, 2024.
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.

AQR Quantify Conclusion
AQR Quantify is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
AQR Quantify’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is quantitative trading:
The presented ruse is AQR Quantify 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 AQR Quantify 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 AQR Quantify’s app does nothing. All AQR Quantify does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
AQR Quantify is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that have emerged since late 2021.
Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the same quantitative trading ruse include New World AI, QubitsCube and FlokiAI.
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.
