The pattern we see again and again
- Clients are steered toward connecting a wallet, installing remote-access software, or sharing a seed phrase — none of which a legitimate broker would ever require.
- Withdrawals stall, get delayed, or are blocked behind sudden “tax”, “insurance”, or “anti-money-laundering” fees — money you should never have to pay to access your own balance.
- The company cannot show a verifiable licence in the jurisdiction where it solicits clients.
- The brand name, address, or regulatory claims do not match any official register, and reviews describe the same withdrawal problems.
