Anyone Know More About What Went Down With Whaleclub

Probably never paid, but that ban means he's done until at least 2030 either way.

Look at this. Someone posted back in March 2019 about Whaleclub.co shutting down. They'd been using it for over two years, then one day SSL errors and a message saying not available in your jurisdiction. Tried connecting from different countries with a VPN including Hong Kong where they claimed to be based. Same message everywhere. That's not a jurisdiction issue, that's a shutdown.

March 2019 fits the timeline perfectly. That's after all the 2017 complaints started piling up, after the 2018 stuff from that guy with the MBA who lost $2000, right before the 2021 reviews we saw about crazy fees and no customer service. So the platform was running for years, taking money the whole time, then just pulled the plug on everyone with zero warning. No explanation, no chance to withdraw funds, just SSL errors and a fake message about jurisdiction issues that turned out to be the same for every country. Classic exit scam move honestly. Run clean for a while, build up trust with users, then disappear when the money pile is big enough and people aren't expecting it.

Whaleclub.co was never legit, just a fake operation using fake names to steal money and disappear.
