The Trade99 broker scam was notorious and had the dubious honor of receiving warnings and cease and desist notices from regulators worldwide. We reported about it a year ago and didn’t know much about the background. Then came the InvestXE scam about which we have also reported several times. A whistleblower recently provided information proving that the same operators and boiler rooms are behind Trade99 and InvestXE. One of the co-operators and payment processors of Trade99 was ClearTransfer, where one of the key figures, Andreas Theodosiou, is the director.
