How the scam operates.
Anax Capital Markets memposisikan dirinya sebagai platform perdagangan forex dan pasar keuangan, beroperasi di bawah domain anaxcapitalmarkets.com. Operator tidak pernah mengeklaim memiliki izin dari otoritas keuangan mana pun yang diakui, melainkan mengandalkan pendaftaran International Business Company (IBC) di Saint Lucia sebagai satu-satunya kredensial yang dinyatakannya. Pembingkaian ini menempatkan platform tersebut seolah-olah merupakan badan usaha yang dibentuk secara sah, sekaligus menghindari pengawasan yang menyertai kepemilikan lisensi jasa keuangan yang sebenarnya.
Status IBC di International Financial Centre Saint Lucia merupakan pendaftaran komersial, bukan lisensi perdagangan. IFC tidak mengatur atau memberikan lisensi atas aktivitas perdagangan forex, yang berarti Anax Capital Markets beroperasi di luar kerangka pengawasan apa pun yang akan mewajibkan kecukupan modal, pemisahan dana nasabah, atau penyediaan mekanisme pengaduan resmi. Operator jenis ini umumnya menerima setoran dan menawarkan akses perdagangan melalui antarmuka milik sendiri, di mana saldo akun dan dugaan keuntungan hanya berupa angka pada layar platform tanpa kustodian independen maupun audit eksternal.
Titik kegagalan bagi korban operasi tanpa regulasi dalam kategori ini umumnya muncul ketika permintaan penarikan dana diajukan. Pada tahap tersebut, operator dapat memberlakukan persyaratan yang terus bertambah: biaya verifikasi, kewajiban pajak, penahanan atas dasar kepatuhan, atau pungutan pelepasan keuntungan. Setiap persyaratan dirancang untuk menarik dana lebih lanjut sebelum akses ditolak secara permanen. Karena tidak ada lembaga teregulasi yang mengawasi platform ini, tidak ada mekanisme upaya hukum, tidak ada skema kompensasi, dan tidak ada regulator yang memiliki kewenangan untuk memaksa pengembalian dana nasabah.
Red flags we documented.
- 01Guaranteed daily / weekly returnsLegitimate trading platforms do not promise fixed returns of "5% per day" or "30% per month". Real markets have variance; anything advertising guaranteed yield in this range is structurally impossible to deliver and is the strongest single signal of a fraudulent platform.
- 02Withdrawal triggers a "release fee"When a user requests withdrawal, the platform invents a new charge, "tax clearance", "anti-money-laundering fee", "withdrawal upgrade", that must be paid before funds release. This is extortion. The original deposit is already gone; the second-stage fee is the operator extracting additional value before disappearing.
- 03Account manager pushes for higher depositsA named "account manager" (often via Telegram or WhatsApp) urges progressively larger deposits, frames hesitation as "missing the opportunity", and discourages independent verification. This social-engineering pattern is consistent across investment-fraud operations and rarely appears at licensed brokers.
- 04No verifiable regulator registrationThe platform claims regulation by a real authority but the regulator's public register has no record of the firm, or has an explicit warning notice. Always check the source register directly, not the platform's own claims.
What you can do now.
Open a free 24-hour case assessment with CryptoLeek +
Tell us what happened. A senior analyst reads your file within 24 hours and replies with an honest yes/no/conditional on recovery. The assessment is free. If we cannot recover the funds we say so plainly, including which (free) regulator channel you should use instead. If we accept the case, we open a numbered case file and issue a written quote for a flat investigation retainer before any work begins, scoped to case complexity, the jurisdictions involved, and the on-chain trail.
Trace your funds on-chain with our analysts +
We trace stolen crypto across BTC, ETH, EVM L2s, Solana, Tron, and major stablecoins using the same toolchain as regulators and tier-1 exchange compliance teams. The output is a forensic report anchored to specific transaction hashes and block heights, the evidence that exchanges, payment processors, and counsel actually act on. Recovery starts here.
Recover with counsel where civil action makes sense +
Where the trace lands in a jurisdiction with cooperative banks and courts, we coordinate with bar-licensed counsel in our 40+ jurisdiction network for civil action and asset-freezing orders (Mareva-style). Counsel bill you directly; the CryptoLeek investigation retainer is independent of counsel fees. The outcome is funds released back to your nominated wallet or bank account.
