Colony Global fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Colony Global’s official marketing videos feature AI-generated avatars:

Colony Global provides a corporate address in Bassano del Grappa, a city in Italy’s northern Veneto region.

The address led me to the company Colony Italia SRL, the key principal of which is Roberto Grandis.

On social media, Grandis cites himself as “Colony Global Network inventor”:

Prior to launching Colony Global in 2024, Grandis was promoting Swych.

And before Swych, Grandis made a name for himself promoting the collapsed WellStar pyramid scheme.

Why Grandis (right) is not disclosed as the owner of Colony Global on its website is unclear.

Colony Global operates from two known website domains:

1. colonyclan.com – registered on April 19th, 2024. The private registration was last updated on July 12th, 2024
2. mycolonyclan.com (marketing funnel, root disabled) – privately registered on October 10th, 2024
