How it started

Liam accepted a deposit “bonus” from Torobase to boost his trading balance. The terms, buried in fine print, tied withdrawals to an enormous trading-volume requirement.

Where it went wrong

Each attempt to withdraw was refused until he “completed” the volume target, which the platform’s spreads made practically impossible. His balance bled out in fees.

“The bonus wasn’t a gift. It was a lock, and I’d agreed to it without reading the key.”

What we did

  1. Captured the bonus terms and the impossible volume condition as evidence.
  2. Traced deposits to Torobase’s processors and a downstream wallet cluster.
  3. Pursued card disputes citing unfair contract terms and blocked withdrawals.
  4. Escalated to the payment networks with a documented timeline.
47% recovered

Roughly half was recovered through card disputes; funds sent by e-transfer proved harder to claw back.

Red flags, in hindsight

  • A deposit bonus with hidden volume conditions.
  • Spreads and fees that erode the balance fast.
  • Withdrawals “unlocked” only by impossible targets.
