Regulator Warning and Reported Activity

Coinex-VIP has been flagged as a Fraudulent online trading platforms by FSMA Belgium. FSMA warning 06/09/2023. Jurisdiction: BE.

Subject: Coinex-VIP · Domain: coinexvip.com · Status: under review

If you’ve reached this page after a problem with Coinex-VIP (coinexvip.com), this is a forensic brief — not a marketing pitch. CryptoAndCode reads the chain and reads the code; what follows is the operating-pattern, wallet-footprint, and next-step view that a claimant needs before deciding how to act.

Quick Forensic Summary
- Subject: Coinex-VIP
- Domain: coinexvip.com
- Front-end: https://coinexvip.com/
- Reported pattern: withdrawal blockage / approval-phishing vector / mixer-obfuscation chain
- Risk class: WATCH → CRITICAL pending wallet-trace
- Status: under forensic review by CryptoAndCode
Claimant Pattern Observed

What we see in the Coinex-VIP sample of cases is the dual-surface pattern: a polished front-end at coinexvip.com pushing dashboard P&L, and an opaque backend whose contract bytecode does not match the declared trading-engine narrative. Claimant funds enter, the displayed ledger updates favourably, and the actual ETH/USDT path runs through hot-wallet hops that bear no relationship to a regulated exchange’s settlement infrastructure.

Forensic Red Flags
- › exit_liquidity_drain: LP-pull window observed: liquidity removed within a tight time window after a deposit surge — textbook exit-liquidity drain mechanics.
- › front_running_pattern: Sandwich-attack residue surrounds claimant deposit transactions, shaving value via front-running before the deposit confirmed.
- › phishing_domain_cluster: coinexvip.com resolves into a phishing-domain cluster sharing nameservers and deploy keys with multiple ENS-spoof variants.
The On-Chain Forensic Trail Outlives the Front-End

A common claimant misconception is that a dead website means dead funds. It does not. Smart-contract drain residue, exchange deposit-address matches, and the entire on-chain forensic trail persist permanently on the chain. CryptoAndCode produces forensic briefs on Coinex-VIP-class operators long after their domains expire.

How CryptoAndCode Investigates Cases Like Coinex-VIP
1. Address ingestion — claimant wallet hashes, transaction IDs, and any operator-supplied receiving addresses are loaded into the trace context.
2. Cluster mapping — heuristic and graph-based clustering links the operator addresses tied to coinexvip.com into a single operator footprint.
3. Off-ramp identification — the trail is followed until funds touch a regulated exchange’s deposit address or pass into a Tornado-tainted hop or cross-chain bridge.
4. Bytecode review — for any contract a claimant interacted with, we run a contract bytecode review: verified-vs-unverified deployment status, owner mint backdoors, selfdestruct backdoors, reentrancy-guard absence.
5. Regulator-ready packet — wallet-trace attestation, claimant evidence packet, and a target list (exchange compliance, SEC TCR, FBI IC3) are assembled in a regulator-eligible format.
6. Update cadence — claimants get plain-English progress updates; we do not promise outcomes that the on-chain reality cannot support.
CryptoAndCode operates on a forensic-engagement basis. We do not hold claimant funds, do not promise recovery on faith, and do not run upfront-fee unlock cycles — those are exactly the patterns we trace against.

External Verification Sources

Below are the authority sources we cross-reference. They are independent of Coinex-VIP and useful for your own verification:
- Etherscan — EVM transaction explorer; first stop for wallet-trace verification
- Chainabuse — public scam-wallet reporting database
- SlowMist Hacked — operator-cluster intelligence and exploit timeline records
- Immunefi — bug-bounty platform; useful for exploit-signature cross-reference
- CertiK — smart-contract audit registry
- DeFiLlama — protocol TVL and proxy-admin watch
- BlockSec — on-chain alerting and contract risk monitoring
- MistTrack — address-clustering and risk-scoring tool
- SEC TCR Portal — US securities tip filing
- FBI IC3 — federal complaint center for cyber-financial crime
Frequently Asked: Coinex-VIP

How fast must a claimant act after a Coinex-VIP loss?

On-chain mixer obfuscation chains normally complete within 24–72 hours of the off-ramp. Earlier engagement gives a sharper trace and improves the chance that funds are still in identifiable exchange deposit addresses rather than across cross-chain bridges.

Does Coinex-VIP's smart contract pose ongoing risk?

If a Coinex-VIP-linked contract still holds approvals from claimant wallets, those approvals are an ongoing external-call risk — funds can be pulled even after the claimant disengages. Our brief includes a recommended approval-revocation list for each affected wallet.

What if the operator changes domains?

Domain rotation is common: coinexvip.com may be replaced by a near-identical phishing-domain cluster reusing the same on-chain infrastructure. Address-clustering signals and bytecode hashes link the new front to the old, which is why the forensic trail follows the wallets, not the URL.

Final Words for Anyone Affected by Coinex-VIP

If you have funds on Coinex-VIP and the on-platform balance no longer matches what you can actually withdraw, treat the situation as time-sensitive. The mixer obfuscation chain runs in hours, not weeks. Three rules:
- Do not pay a ‘liquidity unlock’ or ‘tax release’ to Coinex-VIP or its agents.
- Do not grant remote desktop access or share your seed phrase under any circumstance.
- Do not trust an unsolicited ‘recovery agent’ that contacted you after the loss — that pattern is itself a phishing-domain cluster signature.

Gold Trading Yorkshire Wallet Drainage Report — Transaction Graph & Recovery Channels

Regulator Warning and Reported Activity

Gold Trading Yorkshire has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2025-11-10. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom. It appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list, which is a strong indicator of a scam operation. Treat any contact from this entity with caution. Reference: https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/

Quick Forensic Summary
- Subject: Gold Trading Yorkshire
- Domain: https:
- Front-end: https://https:/
- Reported pattern: withdrawal blockage / approval-phishing vector / mixer-obfuscation chain
- Risk class: WATCH → CRITICAL pending wallet-trace
- Status: under forensic review by CryptoAndCode
Claimant Pattern Observed

Across reviewed correspondence, claimants describing Gold Trading Yorkshire share three structural complaints: balances cannot be withdrawn without an additional ‘liquidity unlock’, taxes or ‘compliance fees’ are extracted in advance of any payout, and once funds are sent for these phantom releases the operator goes silent. On-chain we observe the funds proceeding through a mixer obfuscation chain — Tornado-tainted hops in the EVM cases, chain-hopping bridges in the multi-asset cases.

Forensic Red Flags
- › proxy_admin_abuse: Contract was deployed behind a proxy whose admin key remained with operators — meaning bytecode could be swapped post-deposit.
- › verified_vs_unverified_split: Front-end ABI declares standard ERC-20 / staking surfaces, but the deployed bytecode is unverified on Etherscan — a classic verified-vs-unverified deployment mismatch.
- › address_clustering_signal: Heuristic clustering links https:’s reported intake wallet to operator clusters previously flagged by SlowMist and Chainabuse.

Frequently Asked: Gold Trading Yorkshire

Is Gold Trading Yorkshire a regulated entity?

Gold Trading Yorkshire (https:) does not appear in the registers of FCA, ASIC, CySEC, or NFA. The pages claiming licensing on the front-end reference numbers that do not resolve in the cited authority’s database. Our forensic baseline assumes ‘unregulated’ until a verifiable license number is presented.

Can the funds be traced even if the website is down?

Yes. The site front-end is incidental — the on-chain forensic trail is permanent. Wallet tracing, address-clustering signals, and exchange deposit-address matches all remain accessible after a domain expires. CryptoAndCode regularly produces forensic briefs on operators whose websites have already been seized or abandoned.

What does a CryptoAndCode forensic brief contain?

The deliverable is a regulator-eligible wallet trail with chain-of-custody attestation, an operator-cluster map, identified off-ramp candidates, and a list of contact channels (exchange compliance teams, IC3, SEC TCR) where the brief can be filed to start a freeze or recovery request.

Final Words for Anyone Affected by Gold Trading Yorkshire

If you have funds on Gold Trading Yorkshire and the on-platform balance no longer matches what you can actually withdraw, treat the situation as time-sensitive. The mixer obfuscation chain runs in hours, not weeks. Three rules:

The On-Chain Forensic Trail Outlives the Front-End

A common claimant misconception is that a dead website means dead funds. It does not. Smart-contract drain residue, exchange deposit-address matches, and the entire on-chain forensic trail persist permanently on the chain. CryptoAndCode produces forensic briefs on IBKR (Imposter)-class operators long after their domains expire.

How CryptoAndCode Investigates Cases Like IBKR (Imposter)
1. Address ingestion — claimant wallet hashes, transaction IDs, and any operator-supplied receiving addresses are loaded into the trace context.
2. Cluster mapping — heuristic and graph-based clustering links the operator addresses tied to ibkrest.cc into a single operator footprint.
3. Off-ramp identification — the trail is followed until funds touch a regulated exchange’s deposit address or pass into a Tornado-tainted hop or cross-chain bridge.
4. Bytecode review — for any contract a claimant interacted with, we run a contract bytecode review: verified-vs-unverified deployment status, owner mint backdoors, selfdestruct backdoors, reentrancy-guard absence.
5. Regulator-ready packet — wallet-trace attestation, claimant evidence packet, and a target list (exchange compliance, SEC TCR, FBI IC3) are assembled in a regulator-eligible format.
6. Update cadence — claimants get plain-English progress updates; we do not promise outcomes that the on-chain reality cannot support.
CryptoAndCode operates on a forensic-engagement basis. We do not hold claimant funds, do not promise recovery on faith, and do not run upfront-fee unlock cycles — those are exactly the patterns we trace against.

External Verification Sources

Below are the authority sources we cross-reference. They are independent of IBKR (Imposter) and useful for your own verification:
- Etherscan — EVM transaction explorer; first stop for wallet-trace verification
- Chainabuse — public scam-wallet reporting database
- SlowMist Hacked — operator-cluster intelligence and exploit timeline records
- Immunefi — bug-bounty platform; useful for exploit-signature cross-reference
- CertiK — smart-contract audit registry
- DeFiLlama — protocol TVL and proxy-admin watch
- BlockSec — on-chain alerting and contract risk monitoring
- MistTrack — address-clustering and risk-scoring tool
- SEC TCR Portal — US securities tip filing
- FBI IC3 — federal complaint center for cyber-financial crime
Frequently Asked: IBKR (Imposter)

Is IBKR (Imposter) a regulated entity?

IBKR (Imposter) (ibkrest.cc) does not appear in the registers of FCA, ASIC, CySEC, or NFA. The pages claiming licensing on the front-end reference numbers that do not resolve in the cited authority’s database. Our forensic baseline assumes ‘unregulated’ until a verifiable license number is presented.

Can the funds be traced even if the website is down?

Yes. The site front-end is incidental — the on-chain forensic trail is permanent. Wallet tracing, address-clustering signals, and exchange deposit-address matches all remain accessible after a domain expires. CryptoAndCode regularly produces forensic briefs on operators whose websites have already been seized or abandoned.

What does a CryptoAndCode forensic brief contain?

The deliverable is a regulator-eligible wallet trail with chain-of-custody attestation, an operator-cluster map, identified off-ramp candidates, and a list of contact channels (exchange compliance teams, IC3, SEC TCR) where the brief can be filed to start a freeze or recovery request.

Final Words for Anyone Affected by IBKR (Imposter)

If you have funds on IBKR (Imposter) and the on-platform balance no longer matches what you can actually withdraw, treat the situation as time-sensitive. The mixer obfuscation chain runs in hours, not weeks. Three rules:
- Do not pay a ‘liquidity unlock’ or ‘tax release’ to IBKR (Imposter) or its agents.
- Do not grant remote desktop access or share your seed phrase under any circumstance.
- Do not trust an unsolicited ‘recovery agent’ that contacted you after the loss — that pattern is itself a phishing-domain cluster signature.

EquiteFarms Wallet Drainage Report — Transaction Graph & Recovery Channels
EquiteFarms Wallet Drainage Report — Transaction Graph & Recovery Channels

Regulator Warning and Reported Activity

EquiteFarms has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (United Kingdom – Financial Conduct Authority). reported 2026-05-08. Jurisdiction: United Kingdom. It appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list, which is a strong indicator of a scam operation. Treat any contact from this entity with caution. Reference: https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/

// Forensic Brief — CryptoAndCode

Subject: EquiteFarms · Domain: equitefarms.io · Status: under review

If you’ve reached this page after a problem with EquiteFarms (equitefarms.io), this is a forensic brief — not a marketing pitch. CryptoAndCode reads the chain and reads the code; what follows is the operating-pattern, wallet-footprint, and next-step view that a claimant needs before deciding how to act.

Quick Forensic Summary
- Subject: EquiteFarms
- Domain: equitefarms.io
- Front-end: https://equitefarms.io/
- Reported pattern: withdrawal blockage / approval-phishing vector / mixer-obfuscation chain
- Risk class: WATCH → CRITICAL pending wallet-trace
- Status: under forensic review by CryptoAndCode
Claimant Pattern Observed

Across reviewed correspondence, claimants describing EquiteFarms share three structural complaints: balances cannot be withdrawn without an additional ‘liquidity unlock’, taxes or ‘compliance fees’ are extracted in advance of any payout, and once funds are sent for these phantom releases the operator goes silent. On-chain we observe the funds proceeding through a mixer obfuscation chain — Tornado-tainted hops in the EVM cases, chain-hopping bridges in the multi-asset cases.

Forensic Red Flags
- › proxy_admin_abuse: Contract was deployed behind a proxy whose admin key remained with operators — meaning bytecode could be swapped post-deposit.
- › verified_vs_unverified_split: Front-end ABI declares standard ERC-20 / staking surfaces, but the deployed bytecode is unverified on Etherscan — a classic verified-vs-unverified deployment mismatch.

3. Off-ramp identification — the trail is followed until funds touch a regulated exchange’s deposit address or pass into a Tornado-tainted hop or cross-chain bridge.
4. Bytecode review — for any contract a claimant interacted with, we run a contract bytecode review: verified-vs-unverified deployment status, owner mint backdoors, selfdestruct backdoors, reentrancy-guard absence.
5. Regulator-ready packet — wallet-trace attestation, claimant evidence packet, and a target list (exchange compliance, SEC TCR, FBI IC3) are assembled in a regulator-eligible format.
6. Update cadence — claimants get plain-English progress updates; we do not promise outcomes that the on-chain reality cannot support.
CryptoAndCode operates on a forensic-engagement basis. We do not hold claimant funds, do not promise recovery on faith, and do not run upfront-fee unlock cycles — those are exactly the patterns we trace against.

External Verification Sources

Below are the authority sources we cross-reference. They are independent of its_mofx and useful for your own verification:
- Etherscan — EVM transaction explorer; first stop for wallet-trace verification
- Chainabuse — public scam-wallet reporting database
- SlowMist Hacked — operator-cluster intelligence and exploit timeline records
- Immunefi — bug-bounty platform; useful for exploit-signature cross-reference
- CertiK — smart-contract audit registry
- DeFiLlama — protocol TVL and proxy-admin watch
- BlockSec — on-chain alerting and contract risk monitoring
- MistTrack — address-clustering and risk-scoring tool
- SEC TCR Portal — US securities tip filing
- FBI IC3 — federal complaint center for cyber-financial crime
Frequently Asked: its_mofx

Is its_mofx a regulated entity?

its_mofx (https:) does not appear in the registers of FCA, ASIC, CySEC, or NFA. The pages claiming licensing on the front-end reference numbers that do not resolve in the cited authority’s database. Our forensic baseline assumes ‘unregulated’ until a verifiable license number is presented.

Can the funds be traced even if the website is down?

Yes. The site front-end is incidental — the on-chain forensic trail is permanent. Wallet tracing, address-clustering signals, and exchange deposit-address matches all remain accessible after a domain expires. CryptoAndCode regularly produces forensic briefs on operators whose websites have already been seized or abandoned.

What does a CryptoAndCode forensic brief contain?

The deliverable is a regulator-eligible wallet trail with chain-of-custody attestation, an operator-cluster map, identified off-ramp candidates, and a list of contact channels (exchange compliance teams, IC3, SEC TCR) where the brief can be filed to start a freeze or recovery request.

Final Words for Anyone Affected by its_mofx

If you have funds on its_mofx and the on-platform balance no longer matches what you can actually withdraw, treat the situation as time-sensitive. The mixer obfuscation chain runs in hours, not weeks. Three rules:
- Do not pay a ‘liquidity unlock’ or ‘tax release’ to its_mofx or its agents.
- Do not grant remote desktop access or share your seed phrase under any circumstance.
- Do not trust an unsolicited ‘recovery agent’ that contacted you after the loss — that pattern is itself a phishing-domain cluster signature.

Forensic Review of Bltlz: Operating Pattern, Wallet Footprint, Next Moves
Forensic Review of Bltlz: Operating Pattern, Wallet Footprint, Next Moves

Regulator Warning and Reported Activity

Bltlz has been flagged as a fake broker/platform by IOSCO I-SCAN (Australia – Australian Securities and Investments Commission). reported 2026-01-08. Jurisdiction: Australia. It appears on an official regulator or fraud-warning list, which is a strong indicator of a scam operation. Treat any contact from this entity with caution. Reference: https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/

// Forensic Brief — CryptoAndCode

Subject: Bltlz · Domain: http: · Status: under review

If you’ve reached this page after a problem with Bltlz (http:), this is a forensic brief — not a marketing pitch. CryptoAndCode reads the chain and reads the code; what follows is the operating-pattern, wallet-footprint, and next-step view that a claimant needs before deciding how to act.

Quick Forensic Summary
- Subject: Bltlz
- Domain: http:
- Front-end: https://http:/
- Reported pattern: withdrawal blockage / approval-phishing vector / mixer-obfuscation chain
- Risk class: WATCH → CRITICAL pending wallet-trace
- Status: under forensic review by CryptoAndCode
Claimant Pattern Observed

What we see in the Bltlz sample of cases is the dual-surface pattern: a polished front-end at http: pushing dashboard P&L, and an opaque backend whose contract bytecode does not match the declared trading-engine narrative. Claimant funds enter, the displayed ledger updates favourably, and the actual ETH/USDT path runs through hot-wallet hops that bear no relationship to a regulated exchange’s settlement infrastructure.

Forensic Red Flags
- › withdrawal_selector_blocked: On-chain calls to the withdraw() selector revert silently — a pattern often present in honeypot contracts and rug-pull deployments.
- › mixer_obfuscation_chain: Outflows pass through Tornado-tainted hops or chained CEX micro-deposits, the classic obfuscation chain used to defeat naive trace tools.
- › approval_phishing_vector: Operators tied to http: have prompted token approvals via deceptive permit signatures, a known approval-phishing vector for ERC-20 drains.
The On-Chain Forensic Trail Outlives the Front-End

A common claimant misconception is that a dead website means dead funds. It does not. Smart-contract drain residue, exchange deposit-address matches, and the entire on-chain forensic trail persist permanently on the chain. CryptoAndCode produces forensic briefs on Bltlz-class operators long after their domains expire.
