They claim it is a trading platform, with offices in USA and Chicago, so it should be under the Security Exchange Commission laws. It is NOT anywhere registered in SEC-USA, check for yourself:

A lot of brokers names are taken from real brokers who do not work at www.cryptobravos.com. I strongly encourage everybody to check their own brokers license # at https://brokercheck.finra.org/ & call the real person & ask for their credentials and if they work at www.cryptobravos.com. A real broker will gladly give you all their credentials:

The only real name I found is Richard Van Cleef - a guy with a heavy Dutch accent, pretending to be Benn Kogam (fake name). I found some licenses for brokers claim to be part of cryptobravos.com (see the very slight variation of names, it is NOT a coincidence).

FIRST OF ALL, ALL VICTIMS MUST FILE FBI IC3 COMPLAINT ONLINE.
It all started like this, I came across this ad on line http://smarturl.it/trading_gm Xsystentrader.com Xsystem Trader. I responded to this ad and someone called me a few minutes later and asked if i was familiar with Crypto currency trading. I answered Yes. He asked if I owned any Bitcoin, I answered yes. He proceeded to ask if i was making any money with it, i said No. He said he can show me how i can make money with it trading it for on their platform. Quickly he asked me to allow him to show me by giving him access to my account with Coinbase where my Bitcoin was being hosted. I allowed him by sharing my computer screen with him using ANYDESK software. Before you know it, the Bitcoin was retrieved from Coinbase to a new trading account platform created for me on CRYPTOBRAVOS.COM trading platform. My first question was, "will i be able to withdraw my profit and capital at any time of my desire? The answer was YES. A trade was placed on my behalf by my new so called account manager, STEVEN HILLS. He was a very pushy man and aggressive. Soon he added a profit of $700 to my account which CAPITAL was only a little over $4000 as at that time. He said his trading formula was better than anyone else because he never lost a trade. His system was a "No loss trading system". As advertised. That by virtue of being an account manager, he has a lot of opportunity in the crypto trading open market. He lead me to a crypto website called Cryptoexchange/cryto.com and showed me how there are buyer out there who are willing to pay a higher price for crypto currency than the current market price and demonstrated by making a purchase and credited the profit to my account immediately and asked if I will like to withdraw as a demonstration of trust or proof. Ii sad yes. We went through the process and withdrew to my Coinbase account and then from Coinbase to my bank account. Demonstrating that I will be able to do the same at will. Mr. Steven Hills called me every morning for the first two week to trade with me as described. Each time he keeps asking me to take my account seriously by adding additional funds. Prompting me some times to go get a loan against my home or liquidate any retirement plan and invest with him. I eventually added additional funds to the account, first $3000 followed by an additional $10.000 and $44.000 as my trading account grew with tremendous profits. Soon, he contacted me with a deal that just arrived at his desk. There are 100 Bitcoins available at a wholesale price of $100.000. He asked me to take advantage. I said No. I had No such money. About a week later he came with a similar proposal and I bought into it and grew my Bitcoin account to 199 Units with a trading Balance profit on the trading platform now reflecting over $2 million. I asked to withdraw some money. He said I could not withdraw not until 30days because the condition for being able to sell me the Bitcoin at such a low price was to allow Cryptobravos trade with the Bitcoin and make money with it also. That was understandable considering I got the units for very low prices. Then came another proposal from Steven Hill again, this time, because I have been asking for a withdrawal of some funds, There was a Chinese investor who needed cash urgently and will sell his Bitcoin 300 units for $150.000, we negotiated $100.000. He pushed and pushed me to purchase it. Each time I said No. Then he said If I could make arrangements to purchase the units I will not have to wait for 30 days to be able to withdraw any money. I will automatically be qualified for a weaver and have full access to all my money immediately. I came up with the $100.000.00 and acquired the 300 units. This time around my Bitcoin units rose to 500 Bitcoin and as soon as the money arrived at Coinbase as we usually do, I emailed Mr. Steven Hill, he called me and engaged me on ANYDESK and manipulated the $100k into Bitcoin with-in my Coinbase platform and withdrew it. At this time my trading account with them at CRYPTOBRAVOS has swollen to $5.819.910.12. The plan agreement was to assist and guide me to withdraw $5 million dollars or all of my money as soon as the 300 Bitcoin is paid for. Steven Hill had me on hold after the retrieval of the funds and disappeared. All emails put to him were never answered. He has never answered any phone call. Always asked not to call him because he was trading and will not be able to answer. His phone always sounds muffled and distant. Enters Mr. Ben Kogan. He called and said he was the CFO of the company and that the reason he has called me was to congratulate me on my trading success with them and he was calling to help me withdraw my money. This time, asking me to come up with $55.000 representing 1% fee for helping me trade. When I said to him that paying a 1% fee upfront before withdrawal was not a part of the agreement, He called me ungrateful, Insulted me in every kind of way. He asked me to come up with half of the $55k and he would allow me to withdraw. Forgetting that the agreement was actually a 5% commission whenever a withdrawal is made, they get to keep the 5% commission which I was always open to as agreed. There was never a time any fee up front payment was mentioned. This is just a way to keep the scamming going. I soon discovered that this was their plan. Not to allow any withdrawal of profit nor capital invested. They are Holding a little over $250.000.00 of my invested capital and profits of over $5.8 million if it actually exists. Upon additional research I discovered that there are countless victims online that Cryptobravos.com and Steven Hill and his gangs have scammed. This fake company is destroying lives. I cant comprehend how they could be allowed to continue.
THE ID BELOW IS THAT OF ( MR. STEVEN HILL). HE SENT THIS TO ME AS AN IDENTIFICATION OF HIMSELF WHEN I REQUESTED FOR AN IDENTIFICATION FROM HIM IN OTHER FOR ME TO RELEASE TO HIM THE LAST ADDITIONAL $100.000 HE AND HIS GANGS SQUEEZED FROM ME.
