How the scam operates.
BetterAsset Capitalは、2014年設立と称し、相応の歴史的実績を備えた英国拠点の投資会社であるかのように自社を提示している。この位置づけは、慎重な個人投資家を安心させるような実績と組織としての信頼性を示唆することを意図したものである。しかし、この長い歴史を裏づける公的記録は一切存在しない。
この運営は、検証可能な実体ではなく、正当性を装う外観に依存している。プラットフォームをホストするドメインは2025年に登録されており、主張されている2014年設立と真っ向から矛盾する。いかなる法域においても規制上のライセンスや認可は記録されておらず、これは顧客資金が、規制対象のブローカーに義務づけられる保護を一切受けていないことを意味する。さらに、二つの法域の規制当局がそれぞれ独立して、当該運営者が正規の認可なく金融サービスを提供していると認定している。
この種の運営に共通して観察される手口は、最終的に出金困難へと帰結するのが通例である。預け入れた資金を引き出そうとする利用者は、遅延、次々と要求される手数料、あるいは応答のないサポートに直面する。この段階に至って、規制による監督の欠如が重大な意味を持つことになる。被害を受けた利用者が苦情を申し立てられるオンブズマン、補償制度、監督当局のいずれも存在しないからである。
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.
