What we know

Custody breach signatures

• Lack of verifiable counterparty registration in the jurisdiction the broker claims to operate from.
• Off-platform escalation by parties claiming to be ‘recovery agents’ or ‘compliance officers’.

• Aggressive upselling of leveraged products to retail clients without disclosure of risk.

Custody desk recommendation

If you recognize Crucial Markets from your transaction history, the custody desk advises you to open a sealed dossier. Do not respond to inbound contact from anyone claiming to recover funds on a contingency basis.
