QuantGuard Review: AI crypto trading ruse Ponzi
QuantGuard operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.
The company is purportedly headed by founder and CEO Dragan Milanovic.
Milanovic doesn’t exist outside of QuantGuard marketing, which includes a bogus FaceBook profile with backdated posts:
This is indicative of a purchased or newly created FaceBook account. From the “profile picture” post, which isn’t backdated, we can assume the account was purchased/repurposed in late April 2024.
Dragan Milanovic not having an actual digital footprint makes him a prime Boris CEO candidate.
Boris CEO MLM schemes, where executives are played by actors, are typically run by Russian scammers.
QuantGuard’s website domain (“quantguard.ai”), was privately registered on an unknown date (the .AI domain registration manager hides this information).
The only information disclosed with respect to QuantGuard’s domain is “Walid Abrahim” as the regsistrant’s organization, and UAE as the registrant’s country.
This could be bogus info but could also tie QuantGuard to Dubai, the MLM crime capital of the world.
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.
QuantGuard’s Products
QuantGuard has no retailable products or services.

Referral Commissions
QuantGuard 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.
QuantGuard caps payable unilevel team levels at twelve.
Referral Commissions are paid as a percentage of cryptocurrency invested across these twelve levels based on rank:
- Starter – 5% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates), 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 and 4
- Bronze – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 5
- Silver – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 6
- Gold – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 7
- Platinum – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 8
- Diamond – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 9
- Elite – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 10
- Premier – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 11
- Ultimate – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 12
- VIP – 5% on level 1, 2% on level 2 and 1% on levels 3 to 9 (not a typo)
It is unclear why VIP ranked affiliates earn less than Ultimate ranked affiliates.

QuantGuard Conclusion
QuantGuard represents it generates external revenue via AI bot crypto trading:
QuantGuard fails to provide verifiable evidence it generates external revenue of any kind.
QuantGuard’s passive returns investment scheme constitutes a securities offering. As such the only acceptable verifiable evidence would be legally required audited financial reports filed with regulators.
QuantGuard fails to even prove it has registered with financial regulators, let alone filed any reports.
Additionally, QuantGuard’s business model fails the Ponzi logic test.
If QuantGuard already has an AI trading bot generating at least 1% a day, what do they need your money for?
As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering QuantGuard is new investment.
Using new investment to pay ROI withdrawals would make QuantGuard a Ponzi scheme. With nothing marketed or sold to retail customers, the MLM side of QuantGuard operates as a pyramid scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will ROI revenue.
This will leave QuantGuard unable to pay withdrawals, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
