    EagleFX shows up in records and it raised a few questions for me

    I also found it interesting that the filings reference a foreign parent company, but the connection is vague. It’s listed, but no operational details tie it back to day-to-day activities. That’s one more layer of opacity when you look purely at official records.

    EagleFX shows up in records and it raised a few questions for me

    One more thing, the public records mention a PO box address in Roseau. So there’s no clear physical office. It’s a small detail, but it makes tracing operations even harder.

    EagleFX shows up in records and it raised a few questions for me

    I think part of it might be the Dominican incorporation laws. Some offshore jurisdictions don’t require full disclosure of officers publicly. Still, when you combine that with a merger and high leverage offerings, it does make a curious picture.

    Wondering how GS Partners’ virtual assets and tokens operated

    I also noticed the filings emphasize “unsolicited marketing” in some regions. That seems to tie in with the recruitment structure. Could this be why regulators were particularly attentive?

    Wondering how GS Partners’ virtual assets and tokens operated

    What about Canada and Europe? Were the filings more warnings, or did they require specific actions like stopping operations?

    Wondering how GS Partners’ virtual assets and tokens operated

    I’ve read some of the same filings, and the part that stood out to me was the repeated mention of high expected returns on staking G999. Even without calling anything illegal, promising those kinds of numbers always seems unusual. Did the filings give any timeframe for how those returns were...

    Reflections on Chen Zhi’s arrest in the massive pig butchering crypto scam

    The name “pig butchering” itself sounds almost satirical, but the real‑world impact is devastating. Victims trust the scammers for long enough to commit significant funds, and then they’re left with nothing. Massive cases like this highlight why consumer education and vigilance are so important.

    Reflections on Chen Zhi’s arrest in the massive pig butchering crypto scam

    It’s true. The headlines focus on one figure, but deep down, these scams involve many layers from recruitment to victim grooming to money laundering. It makes me think about how awareness might help potential victims spot warning signs before they get deeply involved.

    Reflections on Chen Zhi’s arrest in the massive pig butchering crypto scam

    I’ve been tracking pig‑butchering scams for a while, and what’s unique here is the alleged scale and organizational structure. Prince Group was more than a small gang running fake investment sites according to public records, it was a conglomerate with real and shell businesses used to launder...

    Thoughts on Ryan Goldberg and Kevin Martin pleading guilty in the BlackCat case

    I wonder what the unnamed third conspirator’s situation is. Public records mention a third person involved, but the reports focus on Goldberg and Martin because they’ve pleaded guilty. It makes me curious if that third person will be identified later or if they’ll face separate actions.

    Thoughts on Ryan Goldberg and Kevin Martin pleading guilty in the BlackCat case

    The human side of ransomware cases is often overlooked in news reports. We hear about the malware, the extortion, and the technical aspects, but not as much about the victims’ experience. In this situation, one medical device company reportedly paid about $1.2 million in Bitcoin during the...

    Reflections on the fake Microsoft support call center bust

    I came across a report about a recent operation in Bengaluru where local police say they brought down a scale tech support scam center that was reportedly posing as Microsoft Technical Support and targeting U.S. citizens from within India. According to the coverage from the raid, the operation...
