SARFund tracks Brightvest as an multi-victim pooled review, with between 40 and 250 victims currently registered against the case. Evidence has been routed to the partner team conducting wallet tracing for verification and tracing.

Common across the case file: operators demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal and operated through impersonated KYC documents. These behaviours, combined with required upfront deposits routed through obscure custodial wallets, are the basis on which SARFund classified the platform as a verified scam broker.

Reports have surfaced via TrustPilot complaints and Telegram channel testimonials, with corroborating threads on Reddit victim threads. Victim accounts converge on identical timelines and identical withdrawal-blockade tactics.

What victims should do

If you deposited funds with this platform, file a claim with SARFund as soon as possible. Provide transaction hashes, wallet addresses, deposit dates, and any communication with the operator (Telegram, WhatsApp, email). The fresher the evidence, the higher the chance of a successful trace.

Why the recovery partner is masked

Listing the partner publicly creates two problems: it tips off perpetrators, who then accelerate fund-laundering, and it invites recovery-scam impersonators to clone the partner brand. Both happen often enough that masking is the only defensible default.
