SARFund tracks Berniston aka Berniston Investments as an multi-victim pooled review, with between 40 and 250 victims currently registered against the case. Evidence has been routed to the recovery counsel handling this matter for verification and tracing.

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

Channels through which Berniston aka Berniston Investments has been reported include Reddit victim threads, direct victim submissions through SARFund, and TrustPilot complaints. SARFund cross-references new submissions against existing reports before adding evidence to the case file.

What evidence helps most

Transaction hashes (the on-chain proof of your deposit), screenshots of the broker dashboard, KYC documents you submitted, and full conversation history with any account manager. These four pieces let the partner build a defensible chain of custody.

Redaction policy

SARFund publishes the existence and status of each case but withholds operationally sensitive details. The recovery partner identity, exact victim count, recovered amount, and tagged wallet addresses are released only to verified claimants once the claim form is submitted and matched.

If you deposited with Berniston aka Berniston Investments, your case may already be on file. Submit your evidence to be matched and connected privately with the recovery team handling this matter.

SARFund does not guarantee recovery. All recovery actions are conducted by independent partners. Submission is free. SARFund is an intermediary case registry, not a recovery firm.
