Citadel USDT Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
Citadel USDT fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Citadel USDT’s website domain (“usdt-citadel.com”), was privately registered on August 28th, 2024.
Of note is Citadel USDT’s website domain 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.
Citadel USDT’s Products
Citadel USDT has no retailable products or services.
Affiliates are only able to market Citadel USDT affiliate membership itself.
Citadel USDT’s Compensation Plan
Citadel USDT affiliates invest tether (USDT). This is done on the promise of advertised passive returns:

- VIP2 – invest 35 to 99 USDT and receive 17.5 to 49.5 USDT a day

Citadel USDT pays referral commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
Citadel USDT caps payable unilevel team levels at four. Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of USDT invested across these four levels as follows:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
- level 2 – 3%
- level 3 – 2%
- level 4 – 1%

Citadel USDT Conclusion
Citadel USDT is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
Citadel USDT misappropriates the name and branding of Citadel Securities, an American market making firm.
Needless to say Citadel USDT has nothing to do with the Citadel Securities.
Citadel USDT’s Ponzi ruse is “quantitative trading”:
The presented ruse is Citadel USDT 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 Citadel USDT 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 Citadel USDT’s app does nothing. All Citadel USDT 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 Iberdrola VIP, AKK USDT and Nadec VIP. Recent quantitative trading ruse examples include WheatLand AI, AI Robot and AI Make USDT.
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).
The same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
