Combining fake stock exchange or "investment advisor" phishing victims brings financial scale: HMK art.59 litigation + on-chain forensics + MASAK + prosecutor's office + international cooperation (IC3, Europol IRIS).
Victim merging strategy
On-chain forensics report
- Wallet address clustering (UNIRID, OXT.me, Etherscan label).
- Detection of mixer, Tornado Cash.
- Exchange entry point: Request from the prosecutor's office if there is access to the central exchange with KYC.
- Geographical trace of the fund (jurisdiction analysis).
MASAK + prosecutor's office coordination
- Notification to MASAK Presidency with the first complaint; 5549 m.19 measure on the wallet in the Turkish stock exchange, if any.
- Public prosecutor's office: TCK art.158/1-f.
- MLAT communication with foreign exchanges.
- International: IC3 (FBI), Action Fraud (UK), Europol IRIS.
What is the attorney's fee in a class action lawsuit?
Scaled based on number of victims and case value. It is structured in parallel with the attorneyship minimum wage tariff; Each victim signs a separate power of attorney contract.
Do I have a good chance if the money is in the Turkish stock market?
Yes. Turkish stock exchanges are subject to BRSA supervision; Identification of account holder with KYC is fast. Measure + return process 3-6 months.
I invested with USDT, can I get it back?
The company issuing USDT (Tether) can freeze the fund; but it is difficult without a court order. Tether Inc. (USA) Requires MLAT/prosecutor's office request.
I sent it to an anonymous wallet, can the perpetrator be found?
With on-chain analysis, the wallet cluster is determined; The final perpetrator is usually identified at the point of exit to the KYC-certified central exchange. If mixer is used, the process takes longer.
Does it make sense to sue the "investment advisor" on social media?
If the perpetrator is in Türkiye, yes. Sharing on social media is a crime within the scope of TCK Article 158/1-f. MLAT is difficult for foreign offenders; However, account closure + fake content removal can be achieved through a platform complaint.
