Fake Trading Platform — Law Enforcement Coordination

An Australian investor deposited funds into a platform that appeared legitimate, complete with fake trading dashboards and customer support. After attempting a withdrawal, they discovered the platform was fraudulent.

Our investigation traced the deposited BTC to a single exchange address. We prepared a formal forensic report and coordinated with Australian Federal Police, which led to a court order for the exchange to freeze and return the funds.
