Description
I invested $2,000. The system went down. It came back. They said that I had to deposit $250 to restore my account and previous funds. I deposited ~$255 in Bitcoin. They said that crypto fees brough the balance below $250 and to deposit again. I deposited $275 in bitcoin. Then they said I needed to deposit an additional $2,500. I tried to withdraw the $247 in Bitcoin ($255 less fees). Those funds disappeared along with the initial $2,000. The value of the bitcoin is much higher now. Likely above $3,000 plus the additional $500 that was deposited. I have supporting screenshots.
