I was a victim of a predatory scam that exploited both my aspirations and my trust. Beginning in spring 2025, a stranger online built a genuine-seeming relationship, presenting himself as a guide in the complex world of crypto. His lack of initial pressure felt refreshing. This emotional groundwork led me to follow his guidance to deposit $112,000. The subsequent silence after demands for more fees was a devastating betrayal of that fabricated trust. I hereby formally request that = a'yRLP = initiate an inquiry to assess compliance with the principles of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) by investment firms under its purview. Specifically, the investigation should examine the potential mis-selling of regulatory policies in practice. To safeguard retail investors, the issuance of clear, actionable guidance is imperative to ensure robust investor protection mechanisms are universally implemented and adhered to.
