TLC Trading exit-scams Hungarian investors
TLC Trading has cut off its Hungarian investors.
Attempts to log in to TLC Trading from within Hungary now return an error:
As of June 2024, Hungary was the second largest source of TLC Trading website traffic behind the US (30%).
According to a TLC Trading investor, an email was sent out claiming access was blocked due to “increased attention from authorities.”
In Hungary, securities are regulated by Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB). MNB has not issued a TLC Trading fraud warning on its website. TLC Trading has not provided investors with evidence it is under investigation in Hungary.
MNB could be investigating TLC Trading and have reached out, but there is no way of knowing this without either MNB or TLC Trading confirming.
TLC Trading itself cannot be trusted. The fraudulent investment scheme previously lied about the nature of insurance acquired through Liga Insurance.
Additionally, TLC Trading’s purported CEO “Armen Sargasyan” is played by Polish national Tomas Malodobry.
Following BehindMLM outing TLC Trading’s Boris CEO, the company deleted its entire YouTube channel.
Looking at the broader picture, locking out its second largest investor-base allows TLC Trading to keep the Ponzi scheme going a bit longer.
Hungarian TLC Trading website dropped 21% month on month, while US website traffic climbed 99% (effectively doubled). Sweden is also being pillaged, following a 4691% increase to 12% of TLC Trading’s total traffic.
The plan is likely to fleece US and Swedish investors for another month or two before pulling the plug.
Whether that’s an abrupt exit-scam like Hungary or a slow “maintenance/hackers/regulators/our CEO is building an orphanage in India etc.” exit-scam remains to be seen.
TLC Trading is a reboot of the collapsed Trade Like Crazy Ponzi scheme. BehindMLM’s initial May 2024 analysis suggests the scam is being run by Polish and/or Russian scammers hiding in Dubai.
Update 7th August 2024 – As predicted, TLC Trading has collapsed.
Unfortunately this is collapsed. Through the blockchain, it seems the deposits are still going to OKEX. Don’t know how will they going to steal the money without clue.

This is TLC’s withdrawal address. Last withdraw was on 2024-08-02 20:21:27.
It seems they want to zero the account, last action was yesterday 2024-08-11 15:40:45, they unstaked all the TRX in the account. After 2 week, they are going to send the last ~9000$ to ??? anywhere.
“Going to steal the money”? The TLC Trading scammers already have everyone’s money.
The exit-scam is just to stall for time while they squirrel it away to whatever hidey-hole they’ve chosen.
Okay, but you know, on the blockchain… there is everything. You cannot steal on blockchain without clues. Its okay they have it, but if they want to convert it to fiat, or they send it to exchanges, authorities can track it.
