QZ Asset Management Review: BDAI trading Ponzi scheme
QZ Asset Management operates in the financial investment MLM niche.
The company also goes by QZ Invest and represents it is based out of Guangzhou, China.
Supposedly heading up QZ Asset Management is Blake Yeung Pu Lei.
Yeung doesn’t have a verifiable digital footprint. This could be due to language-barriers.
While QZ Asset Management doesn’t have an official YouTube channel, marketing videos doing the rounds reveal Yeung has a typical Hong Kong “British” English accent.
Prior to rebranding on or around 2021, QZ Asset Management went by Qianze Asset Management.
Other executives names on QZ Asset Management’s website include:
- Roger Sim – Regional Director
- Panjal Chandra – Director of Systems Development
- Julian D. Meyers – Director of Credit Risk Management
- Andrei Petrov – Director of System Security
I wasn’t able to verify whether any of these people actually exist.
Update 24th March 2023 – Through QZ Global Limited (QZ Global Ltd), a newly incorporated South Dakota shell company (created January 9th, 2023), QZ Asset Management has informed the SEC it intends to sell shares.
QZ Global Limited’s February 27th filing itself does not contain any disclosure of QZ Asset Management’s BDAI token MLM investment scheme. Nor does it contain audited financial reports.
What it does contain is a list of QZ Asset Management, purportedly accurate as of December 2021. In addition the executives named on QZ Asset’s website we have:
- Cui Tong Fei – Founding partner, Chairman and Director
- Voong Kuang Jie – Founding Partner, Chief HR Officer and Director
/end update
QZ Asset Management operates from the domain (“qzinvest.com”).
Private registration, cross-referenced with the Wayback Machine, suggests Qianze Asset Management acquired the domain sometime in 2021.
Despite only existing since around 2019 at the earliest, QZ Asset Management falsely claims it has been around “for more than 10 years”.

MMM NFT: MMM Global Ponzi with NFTs
MMM NFT fails to provide company ownership or executive information on its website.
The company borrows heavily from MMM Global:
MMM Global was a Russian Ponzi scheme run by Sergey Mavrodi.
Mavrodi (right) passed away in 2018. He was supposedly destitute at the time.
As per the MMM NFT website screenshot above, the scammers behind MMM NFT have misappropriated Mavrodi’s likeness.
This isn’t the first post-Mavrodi MMM Global Ponzi reboot. BehindMLM documented attempts to
- replace Mavrodi with a lookalike;
- replace Mavrodi with a DeepFakes video;
- reboot the Ponzi in 2018;
- reboot the Ponzi again in 2019; and
- reboot the Ponzi as MMM DAPP in 2020
MMM DAPP’s website is still online but non-functional.
MMM NFT operates from the domian “mmm-nft.art”, privately registered on September 13th, 2022.
Owing to its Russian origins, the Central Bank of Russia issued an MMM NFT pyramid fraud warning on October 21st.
