CLAIM · SAR-2026-0466 · VERIFIED & COORDINATED
A Brisbane small-business owner handed control to a Fusion Capital Investment “managed account” that promised to copy a star trader’s moves. The account drained in weeks. He filed promptly, and the coordinated partner reported a 73% return across his BTC and ETH deposits.

01 How the claim came in
The claim came in about two weeks after he was locked out. He had been recruited through a mentor figure who ran a “private trade-copier” program at Fusion Capital Investment — deposit crypto, let the “desk” trade it, share the upside. The first weeks showed gains; then a “margin event” supposedly wiped most of it and the desk demanded more to “recover the position.”
He stopped, sensibly, and filed. Two-week-old BTC and ETH deposits are workable, and we treated the claim with that in mind.
02 What we verified
Verification centred on showing that the “managed trading” never happened as described — the deposits left for wallets, not a trading book.
- Confirmed the operator against our Fusion Capital Investment file and its managed-account / trade-copier pattern.
- Matched his deposit addresses against our registry and identified reachable downstream endpoints.
- Verified the “margin event” was fabricated — there was no trading venue, only outbound transfers.
- Assembled the mentor’s messages and the deposit record into a single evidenced file.
03 Connecting to a vetted partner
Partner identity stays masked until a claim is filed
We matched the claim to a vetted recovery partner covering Australian crypto claims. The partner was disclosed only after he filed and asked to be connected.
04 What SARFUND did
- Built a clean deposit ledger separating BTC and ETH tranches by date and endpoint.
- Matched the claim to a vetted partner experienced with managed-account crypto cases.
- Relayed the partner’s exchange-facing requests and reviewed the claimant’s proofs before submission.
- Tracked the partner’s engagement with the receiving services across both chains and reported back at each step.
- Closed the claim once the partner confirmed the returned figure.
05 Red flags, in hindsight
- A “mentor” or “desk” that trades your crypto for you in a private program.
- Early gains followed by a sudden “margin event” and a demand for more funds.
- Being told you must deposit more to “recover” a losing position.
- No verifiable trading venue — just wallet addresses you send to.
No legitimate manager needs your crypto in their own wallet. If a “managed account” has locked you out, file a claim now and we will verify the operator and connect you to a vetted partner.
