A Dubai family pooled savings into Alamiya Markets, drawn by a polished pitch and a promise of “capital-protected” returns. The platform locked them out at withdrawal. We mapped the layered funds and returned the majority.
How it started
The pitch promised conservative, “capital-protected” growth, and the early dashboard delivered on paper. The family added to their position over six weeks. When they tried to take a portion out for a real expense, the platform demanded a “liquidity guarantee” first and then went silent.
Following the money
We aligned the bank payments and the on-chain USDT purchases, then followed the layering. Part of the trail ran through a mixer and dispersed; the larger, traceable share consolidated at an exchange with KYC obligations. We built the freeze request around what survived and supported the family’s report to local authorities.
“They used the words ‘capital protected.’ There was no capital and no protection.”
The outcome
Recovered: AED 153,600 — 64% of the loss. A “capital-protected” promise on an unregulated platform is a marketing line, not a safeguard. The mixed tranche cost part of the principal, but the majority was frozen and returned.
