Q-Research fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Q-Research’s website domain (“q-research.vip”), was registered with bogus details on March 27th, 2025.

Of note is Q-Research’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

Q-Research has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued a
Q-Research pyramid fraud warning
on April 8th, 2025.

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.

Q-Research Conclusion

Q-Research is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.

Q-Research’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is quantitative trading:

The presented ruse is Q-Research 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 Q-Research 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 Q-Research’s app does nothing. All Q-Research does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.

Q-Research is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that have emerged since late 2021.

Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the same quantitative trading ruse are 
DSOA
, 
AK USD
 and 
AI Cambridge
.

Since 2021 Daily Exposed 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).

In the lead up to a collapse, “click a button” Ponzi investors also tend to find their accounts locked. This typically coincides with a withdrawal request.

As part of a collapse, “click a button” Ponzi scammers often initiate recovery scams. This sees the scammers demand investors pay a fee to access funds and/or re enable withdrawals.

If any payments are made withdrawals remain disabled or the scammers cease communication.

Organized crime interests from China operate scam factories behind “click a button” Ponzis from south-east Asian countries.

In September 2024, the US Department of Treasury 
sanctioned Cambodian politician Ly Yong Phat
 over ties to Chinese human trafficking scam factories.

Through various companies he owns, Phat is alleged to shelter Chinese scammers operating out of Cambodia.

Myanmar claims to have 
deported over 50,000 Chinese scam factory scammers
 since October 2023. With “click a button” app scams continuing to feature on Daily Exposed though, it is clearly not enough.

In late January 2025, Chinese ministry representatives visited Thailand. The stated aim of the visit was to 
tackle organized Chinese crime gangs operating from Myanmar
.

In early February 2025, Thailand announced it had 
cut power, internet access and petrol supplies to Chinese scam factories
 operating across its border with Myanmar.

As of February 20th, Thai and Chinese authorities claim 
ten thousand trafficked hostages had been freed from Myanmar compounds
.

Also on February 20th, 
five Chinese crime bosses were nabbed
 in a wider raid of four hundred and fifty arrests in the Philippines.

On March 19th it was 
reported
 that, despite the recent raids and arrests, “up to 100,000 people” are still working in Chinese Myanmar scam factories.

Regardless of which country they operate from, ultimately the same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.

Update 20th April 2025 – 
Q-Research has collapsed. As at the time of this update Q-Research’s website has been disabled.
