How the scam operates.
2B FXは、個人投資家が利用できる外国為替（FX）取引プラットフォームを標榜し、欧州の金融監督を暗に連想させるオランダの住所を掲げて営業している。運営者のウェブサイトは、同サービスを信頼できる取引環境として提示し、正規のブローカーが用いる視覚的および修辞的な手法を採用することで、当該法域をEUの消費者保護基準と結びつけて考える預金者を引き付けようとしている。
2B FXは、オランダを拠点とするブローカーであれば本来の監督当局となるはずのオランダAFMを含め、いかなる金融当局においても有効な規制登録を保有していない。その登録がなければ、投資家が預け入れた資金は一切の法的保護の外に置かれる。分別管理の要件は適用されず、補償制度による保証も存在せず、運営者の行為に対して管轄権を有する規制当局も存在しない。資金はFX取引という名目で集められるが、それらの資金が実際にどのように扱われるかを制約するものは何もない。
破綻が表面化するのは、被害者が資金を出金しようとした時点である。この段階で、遅延が積み重なり、要求は無視され、あるいは出金の前提条件として追加の条件が課される。規制を受けた事業者が資産を保有していないため、相談できるオンブズマンも、利用できる補償制度も存在しない。スペインのCNMVは2025年2月、2B FXに対して正式な公的警告を発し、運営者が適切な認可を受けずに金融サービスを提供している可能性があると指摘した。
Red flags we documented.
- 01CNMV Formal Warning Issued February 2025Spain's Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores issued a public warning against 2B FX in February 2025, stating the operator may be providing financial services or investment products without proper authorisation. A warning of this type is issued after regulatory assessment and represents one of the clearest formal signals that an entity is operating outside legal boundaries.
- 02Netherlands Address with No AFM RegistrationThe operator claims a Netherlands address, associated with EU financial regulation, yet holds no registration with the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM). Citing a regulated jurisdiction without the corresponding registration is a recognised pattern used to manufacture credibility without accepting the compliance obligations that authorisation would impose.
- 03No Valid Regulatory Information Published2B FX publishes no valid regulatory information on its website. Legitimate brokers authorised to operate in Europe are required to display their licence number, the authorising regulator, and verifiable entity registration details. The absence of this information is a compliance failure, not an administrative oversight.
- 04No Legal Protection for Deposited FundsBecause the operator holds no regulatory authorisation, client funds deposited with 2B FX are not subject to segregation requirements, investor compensation schemes, or supervisory enforcement. There is no institutional mechanism for recovering assets if the operator becomes unresponsive or ceases operations.
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.
