Qwidex Review: Boris CEO MLM crypto Ponzi
Qwidex fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.
Qwidex does provide a list of executives, however none of them exist outside of its own marketing. They also appear to be represented by either actors or AI-generated avatars.
Qwidex’s founder and CEO, “Chase Coleman” is played by an actual person – albeit an actor with a Russian accent. This makes him a prime Boris CEO candidate.
Coleman’s FaceBook profile was created in October 2024. As part of the deception, a 2020 entry pretending Coleman launched Qwidex was retroactively added.
This is denoted by the clock icon on the manipulated post:
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Qwidex represents it is based out of New South Wales, Australia.
The provided address belongs to virtual office retailer Servcorp. Beyond registering Qwidex Pty Ltd as a shell company with the Australian Services and Investment Commission (ASIC), it is unlikely Qwidex has any physical ties to Australia.
ASIC are known for non-timely regulation of MLM fraud. Furthermore anyone can register a company with ASIC using whatever bogus details, there is no verification.
For this reason ASIC registration is favored by scammers residing outside of Australia.
With respect to MLM due-diligence, ASIC registration certificate as proof of legitimacy is therefore meaningless.
Tying in with “Chase Coleman” having a Russian accent, Boris CEO scams are typically the work of eastern European scammers (Russia and Ukraine).
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.

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.
Qwidex caps payable referral commissions at 100 levels.

Qwidex Conclusion
Qwidex represents it generates external revenue via automated trading:
Qwidex fails to provide verifiable evidence it pays ROI withdrawals with external revenue of any kind.
Furthermore, Qwidex’s business model fails the Ponzi logic test.
If Qwidex already has a trading bot capable of generating 3.35% a day, surely they’d just run it for themselves? And why offer access to randoms over the internet at no cost?
The answer is of course, like its fictional executives, Qwidex’s purported trading bots don’t exist.
As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering Qwidex is new investment.
Using new investment to pay ROI withdrawals would make Qwidex a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Qwidex of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
I have an educated hunch that the Boris here could be Alexander Alekseev from St. Petersburg. I cannot strongly confirm this though.
No neck tattoo.
