Financial pyramids Questra World, Questra Holding, Atlantic Global Asset Management, and Five Winds Asset Management, active in Kazakhstan between 2016 and 2017, racked up over 1 billion tenge in damages, according to Almaty.tv, citing zakon.kz.

At a recent briefing, MVD RK representative Nurdil Oraz shared that investigations are underway against numerous Kazakhstani and foreign citizens associated with these operations.

The unsuspecting thousands of Kazakhstanis, lured by these schemes, ended up shoulder-deep in losses exceeding 1 billion tenge.

Although details about the individuals behind these pyramids remain scarce, these organizations were part of a global network of similar fraudulent ventures that thrived in various regions, including Kazakhstan, during this period. Typically, these schemes dangled the promise of unusually high returns and relied heavily on recruitment rather than sustaining themselves through legitimate investments.

Court documents and public records related to these cases could also provide a wealth of information, though obtaining such information will require some legwork.
