How it started
An HXI FX “account manager” called Aaron daily, urging bigger positions and topping up to “avoid a margin call.” Aaron trusted the urgency.
Where it went wrong
A wave of margin calls he couldn’t verify wiped most of the account in days. When he asked for statements and a withdrawal, contact dried up.
“He called me a dozen times to deposit. He never once picked up when I wanted to take money out.”
What we did
- Reconstructed the deposit timeline and the manager’s pressure messages.
- Traced bank transfers to HXI FX’s collection accounts and a crypto off-ramp.
- Filed bank recalls and engaged the receiving exchange with evidence.
- Prepared a regulator complaint documenting the manipulation pattern.
64% recovered
A majority of the most recent transfers were recalled before they cleared the off-ramp.
Red flags, in hindsight
- Daily calls pushing larger deposits.
- Margin calls you can’t independently verify.
- Silence the moment you mention withdrawing.
