The Watchlist — case files on reported broker sites.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Skycapitalone Bank

    Skycapitalone Bank is on the Cryptosenti watchlist. What we listen for on the chain and hear from victims lines up: this looks like a platform built to separate people from their funds.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Skycapitalone Bank
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    It moves from curiosity to commitment fast. A helpful ‘account manager’, a chart that only goes up, and a sense that stopping now would waste the gains. The gains are fictional; only the deposits are real.

    Red flags on file

    • A dashboard shows large, steady profits that no real market produces on demand.
    • Registration, address and ownership details are vague, borrowed or unverifiable.
    • The company name appears on a regulator or fraud-warning list (IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)).
    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.

    If you have already engaged

    The most important step now is to stop the bleed and document. Do not pay a ‘release fee’ – that is the same scam wearing a second mask. Gather your evidence and let a real team assess the trail.

    Were you in this case?

    If Skycapitalone Bank took money from you, do not face it alone. Share what happened and let our team map the realistic paths forward.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: OP-Trust

    Our signal desk has flagged OP-Trust after cross-checking chain activity, marketing patterns and public warnings. The picture that emerges is consistent with a fraudulent trading operation rather than a legitimate broker.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: OP-Trust
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authori
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    It moves from curiosity to commitment fast. A helpful ‘account manager’, a chart that only goes up, and a sense that stopping now would waste the gains. The gains are fictional; only the deposits are real.

    Red flags on file

    • Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
    • Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.
    • Withdrawals are delayed, then blocked behind a ‘tax’, ‘anti-money-laundering’ or ‘fraud-score’ fee.
    • You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.

    If you have already engaged

    Recovery is never guaranteed, but the odds improve the faster the money is traced and the cleaner your records are. Keep the wallet addresses, dates and amounts; avoid anyone promising a certain refund for an upfront payment.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: GBTC MARKETS

    GBTC MARKETS is on the Cryptosenti watchlist. What we listen for on the chain and hear from victims lines up: this looks like a platform built to separate people from their funds.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: GBTC MARKETS
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Switzerland – Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authori
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    People rarely lose it all at once. They lose it in stages, each justified by a dashboard that keeps promising the withdrawal will clear as soon as the next requirement is met.

    Red flags on file

    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.
    • Guarantees of returns, ‘insured’ funds, or ‘risk-free’ trading appear anywhere in the pitch.
    • Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
    • Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.

    If you have already engaged

    If you engaged with this platform, treat any new ‘recovery agent’ who contacts you first with suspicion. Real help starts from your evidence and an honest assessment, not a guarantee and a fee.

    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    Victims describe the same slide: a confident pitch, a demo that ‘works’, bigger and bigger deposits, and finally a payout that is always one more fee away. The profits were never leaving the platform.

    Red flags on file

    • You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.
    • The ‘account manager’ is friendly, always available, and always steering you toward another deposit.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: Sovereign Global Trading

    Sovereign Global Trading surfaced on our watchlist through a mix of investor reports and regulator signals. On the evidence we hold, it behaves like a scam platform engineered to take deposits and block withdrawals.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    • Operator: Sovereign Global Trading
    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (Singapore – Monetary Authority of Singapore)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist
    • Risk level: High

    How losses unfold

    The losses build quietly. Each step feels reasonable in the moment, but the whole structure is designed so the exit door is locked exactly when you reach for it.

    • The company name appears on a regulator or fraud-warning list (IOSCO I-SCAN (Singapore – Monetary Authority of Singapore)).
    • You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: TT International

    TT International reached our desk through victim intake and open warning lists. Read the signals together and it reads as a fake trading platform, not a regulated firm.

    • Flagged by: IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority)
    • Status: Reported / on watchlist

  • Watchlist case file · LiruneFX

    LiruneFX arrives on the Cryptosenti Watchlist as another platform whose public footprint does not survive a signal check.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    Operator LiruneFX
    Public domain lirunefx.com
    Reported website https://lirunefx.com/legal-licensing/
    Status FLAGGED · ON WATCHLIST
    Filed by Cryptosenti Research Desk · Brooklyn, NY

    How losses unfold

    Most cases involving operators like LiruneFX share the same trajectory: modest entry, painted gains, then a wall of fees, taxes, or compliance reviews the moment a withdrawal is requested.

    Red flags on file

    • Cold contact origin. First contact through Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or LinkedIn — not through the operator’s own marketing funnel.
    • Engineered urgency. Live-trade rooms, expiring tier upgrades, and account managers pushing same-day deposits.
    • Regulator silence. LiruneFX either claims a license that cannot be cross-checked, or names a regulator that has never heard of the entity.

    If you have already engaged

    If you have already deposited with LiruneFX, stop sending more — even if a final fee will supposedly unlock your balance. That is the pattern that drains the rest.

    Do not engage with anyone offering recovery in exchange for upfront fees, gift cards, or your seed phrase. Cryptosenti never asks for any of those, and neither does any legitimate recovery firm.

    Cryptosenti never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.

    The desk is at 10 Grand Street, Brooklyn. Open a case and we will read your file.

  • Watchlist case file · Sander FX

    Sander FX is a name we keep hearing from the Brooklyn intake desk. The complaint pattern is too consistent to be coincidence.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    Operator Sander FX
    Public domain sanderfx.com
    Reported website https://www.sanderfx.com/
    Status FLAGGED · ON WATCHLIST
    Filed by Cryptosenti Research Desk · Brooklyn, NY

    How losses unfold

    Most cases involving operators like Sander FX share the same trajectory: modest entry, painted gains, then a wall of fees, taxes, or compliance reviews the moment a withdrawal is requested.

    Red flags on file

    • Opaque ownership. No verifiable corporate filing, no named principals, no auditable office address.
    • Cold contact origin. First contact through Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or LinkedIn — not through the operator’s own marketing funnel.
    • Engineered urgency. Live-trade rooms, expiring tier upgrades, and account managers pushing same-day deposits.

  • Cryptosenti Watchlist: PROTON INVEST CORP

    PROTON INVEST CORP markets aggressively, regulates ambiguously, and answers concrete questions in marketing copy. That is the operator profile.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    Operator PROTON INVEST CORP
    Public domain protoninvest.org
    Reported website https://protoninvest.org/
    Status FLAGGED · ON WATCHLIST
    Filed by Cryptosenti Research Desk · Brooklyn, NY

    How losses unfold

    The Cryptosenti casebook on operators like PROTON INVEST CORP reads the same way every time: bonded trust, painted profit, friction the moment money tries to come home.

    Red flags on file

    • Cloned legitimacy. Branding, language, and design lifted from real regulated brokers to inherit perceived credibility.
    • Regulator silence. PROTON INVEST CORP either claims a license that cannot be cross-checked, or names a regulator that has never heard of the entity.
    • Withdrawal friction. Funds go in cleanly; coming back out triggers a sudden cascade of fees, taxes, and verification demands.

    If you have already engaged

    Do not engage with anyone offering recovery in exchange for upfront fees, gift cards, or your seed phrase. Cryptosenti never asks for any of those, and neither does any legitimate recovery firm.

    Preserve every artifact: chat transcripts, deposit confirmations, withdrawal denials, KYC submissions. The trace report is built from these.

    Cryptosenti never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.

  • Watchlist case file · UCMarkets

    UCMarkets caught the Cryptosenti research desk’s attention for a simple reason: the noise around the brand drowns the substance.

    SIGNAL SHEET

    Operator UCMarkets
    Public domain ucmarkts.com
    Reported website https://www.ucmarkts.com/index.php
    Status FLAGGED · ON WATCHLIST
    Filed by Cryptosenti Research Desk · Brooklyn, NY

    How losses unfold

    Withdrawal attempts from UCMarkets typically generate the same response set: identity verification loops, risk reviews, and surprise fees that conveniently land at exactly the remaining balance.

    Red flags on file

    • Withdrawal friction. Funds go in cleanly; coming back out triggers a sudden cascade of fees, taxes, and verification demands.
    • Cloned legitimacy. Branding, language, and design lifted from real regulated brokers to inherit perceived credibility.
