Need a specific broker or platform investigated?

If you are dealing with a broker or platform that is not yet listed here, you can submit your case securely to Seamus Manley Investigations. We will review your materials and confirm whether a formal investigation is appropriate.

Please include as much factual detail as possible — dates, transaction IDs, wallet or account references, and any communication records you still have.

Not Financial Advice

Seamus Manley content is informational and investigative. Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice.

No Recovery Guarantees

Outcomes depend on blockchain finality, jurisdiction, and third-party cooperation. Anyone promising instant, guaranteed recovery up-front, in crypto, without written terms — should be treated as a follow-up scam.
