FINMA.International Shuts Down WTC (World Trade Center) Scam – UK Investors Can Now Recover Funds

After a coordinated international investigation, FINMA.International has officially shut down the fraudulent operation known as WTC (World Trade Center). The perpetrators have been identified, enforcement actions have been taken, and UK-based investors are now eligible to recover their funds through a secure verification process.

FINMA.International has successfully dismantled the fraudulent operation known as WTC / World Trade Center, which posed as a global financial platform. Following a multi-jurisdictional investigation, the perpetrators behind the scheme have been formally identified and legal actions have been initiated.


WTC was operating without authorization, collecting deposits from unsuspecting individuals under false pretenses and offering fake investment products. A significant portion of the victims were based in the United Kingdom, with many reporting unauthorized activity, blocked withdrawals, and total loss of access to their funds.


We are now working in cooperation with our recovery partners, including Coinbase Wallet, to facilitate the return of misappropriated funds to verified clients. Accounts linked to the WTC network have been frozen and are currently being audited.


All affected investors who wish to reclaim their assets must complete a partial identity verification process. This is a standard step required to ensure rightful ownership and prevent fraudulent claims.


FINMA.International continues to lead the fight against cross-border financial crime and urges any WTC clients to reach out through our secure support channels to begin the recovery process.
