Wrote a review on TrustPilot about my experience and figured I'd share it here so Redditors and future interested parties have a better chance of finding reviews online. I accept that I lost the money and succumbed to the advertising message, but wanted to help others going forward:
"I joined Dasani Consulting after hearing founder Kam Dasani on the Rich Somers podcast claim that following their trading system would result in customers making money. After 5+ months of losses and repeated refund requests, the situation has become even more concerning.
\*\*Initial Experience (Months 1-5):\*\*
Started with direct trading signals; account went negative. Switched to copy-trading on Dasani's suggestion; still negative after a full quarter. Dasani published weekly performance tracking documents showing small accounts consistently underperformed. When customers discussed these results in Discord, Dasani disabled the community.
\*\*The Recent Pivot (Latest Development):\*\*
After I requested a second refund citing underperformance, Kam sent an email explaining that business partner "Flop" was responsible for the losses. His proposal: I send an additional $10,000 to help "regrow" the account, with "transaction accountability" offered in place of a refund.
I declined.
Dasani is now discontinuing the copy-trading service entirely for small accounts.
\*\*What This Reveals:\*\*
1. \*\*Blame-Shifting\*\*: Rather than taking accountability for marketing claims that didn't materialize, Dasani blamed a business partner and pivoted away from responsibility.
2. \*\*Doubling Down\*\*: Asking for more capital ($10K) after months of documented losses is a major red flag. This is not how trustworthy trading services operate.
3. \*\*Tier Abandonment\*\*: By discontinuing small-account trading, Dasani is essentially admitting small accounts were a liability—which directly contradicts the marketing that positioned the service for "busy professionals" (who typically have smaller starting accounts).
4. \*\*No Accountability\*\*: A genuine refund was refused in favor of vague "transaction accountability" language.
\*\*The Pattern:\*\*
\- Podcast marketing: "You will make money"
\- Reality after 5 months: Small accounts net negative (per their own data)
\- Response to complaints: Disable community discussion, blame partner, ask for more money
\- Final move: Discontinue small-account service entirely
This is not the behavior of a service confident in its model. This is the behavior of a business pivoting away from a failed offering while shifting blame.
\*\*Who Should Avoid:\*\*
\- Anyone with less than $25K to invest
\- Anyone taking the podcast marketing at face value
\- Anyone considering "investing more" to "regrow" losses
\- Anyone believing promises of future accountability after this pattern
\*\*Who Might Consider It:\*\*
\- Full-time traders with significant capital and time commitment
\- People willing to accept that "accountability" means accepting losses
\*\*Bottom Line:\*\*
After 5+ months of documented underperformance, Dasani's response has been to blame a business partner, request additional capital from customers, and discontinue the entire small-account tier. This sequence of events suggests the service itself may not be viable for the demographic it was marketed to. Prospective customers should understand: you are not joining a service with a track record of delivering on its promises. You are joining a service that lost money for small accounts, suppressed discussion of that loss, and is now asking those same customers for more capital or discontinuing their access entirely.
I signed the contract and respect the non-refund policy. But I'd urge Dasani to consider whether this pattern—blame, additional asks, service discontinuation—is what they want representing their brand."
