SARFund tracks HOB as an verified victim reports, 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.

Across the verified submissions, three red flags repeat: the broker operated through impersonated KYC documents, used unregulated celebrity endorsements, and required upfront deposits routed through obscure custodial wallets. None of these are unique to HOB — they are the structural fingerprint of this scam typology.

Reports have surfaced via Facebook group reports and Reddit victim threads, with corroborating threads on Google Search complaints. Victim accounts converge on identical timelines and identical withdrawal-blockade tactics.

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.

Why details on this case stay redacted

The Recovery Partner field, victim count, and traced-wallet figures are masked on the public registry. This is deliberate: publishing partner identities or live victim counts compromises tracing operations and tips off counterparties. Verified claimants receive the partner contact privately after submitting evidence.
