CLAIM · SAR-2026-0648 · VERIFIED & COORDINATED

01 How the claim came in
The claim came in two days after the takeover. His phone lost signal, his email and exchange were reset, and his crypto was withdrawn to addresses linked in our registry to the Gurion FX cash-out operation.
Speed is everything on a takeover. We treated this with the urgency it demanded.
02 What we verified
Verification was about proving unauthorised access and mapping the cash-out fast.
- Confirmed the cash-out addresses against our Gurion FX operator file.
- Established the SIM-swap and credential resets as the access mechanism.
- Identified the receiving services still able to act on a fast claim.
- Assembled carrier and exchange records into a complete, time-stamped 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 experienced with exchange-facing takeover cases. The partner stayed masked until he filed and asked to be connected.
04 What SARFUND did
- Ordered the withdrawals into a dated schedule the partner could act on immediately.
- Matched the claim to a vetted partner whose remit fit a US exchange takeover.
- Relayed the partner’s exchange and carrier requirements and reviewed his proofs.
- Tracked the partner’s engagement with the receiving exchanges milestone by milestone.
05 Red flags, in hindsight
- A sudden loss of mobile signal followed by login resets.
- SMS-only two-factor on accounts holding crypto.
- Withdrawals to addresses you do not recognise.
- A “support” contact that appears right as you lose access.
If you have been SIM-swapped, hours matter. File a claim immediately and we will verify it and connect you to a vetted partner while funds are reachable.
