MONEY-FLOW DIAGRAM
(Victim → Exchanges → Wallet → Fake Platform → Scammer)
LEGEND
- You = Victim / Account holder
- Legitimate Platforms = Coinbase / Crypto.com / Bitstamp
- Wallet = imToken (appeared to be yours, but controlled by him)
- Fake Platform = KikiTrade / keyburst.com
- He / Scammer = Person directing and controlling transactions
STAGE 1: ENTRY POINT – LEGITIMATE ACCOUNTS
(My money was initially in real, regulated platforms)
[ My Bank Account ]
↓
[ Coinbase / Crypto.com ]
- Funds originated only from your bank and retirement assets
- These platforms were legitimate
- At this stage, you still had control
STAGE 2: FORCED TRANSITION TO WALLET
(Control begins to shift)
[ Coinbase / Crypto.com ]
↓ (buy Ethereum)
[ imToken Wallet ]
Critical turning point
- imToken wallet was set up under his direction
- He:
- Checked registration
- Guided setup step-by-step
- Pressured you for email + password + 2FA
- Although labeled “your wallet,”
he effectively controlled access
STAGE 3: TRANSFER TO FAKE TRADING PLATFORM
(Funds leave legitimate ecosystem)
[ imToken Wallet ] ↓
[ KikiTrade / keyburst.com ]
Major fraud indicators
- KikiTrade was not a legitimate exchange
- Logo mismatch
- Unrealistic 30-second trades
- No independent verification
- No real withdrawal capability
At this point:
- Money is no longer traceable through normal financial safeguards
- Trades shown were simulated
STAGE 4: ACTUAL DESTINATION – SCAMMER CONTROL
(The hidden flow)
[ imToken Wallet ]
↓
[ Scammer’s Wallet Address ]
0x1297adf1efa391b2a9e971fa64a2adeec215b492e
This is the real endpoint
- You observed and noted when funds were:
- Sent “successfully”
- But arrived in his account
- From here:
- Funds were irreversible
- No legitimate trading occurred
- “Profits” were fictional
STAGE 5: ESCALATION VIA WIRES
(Increasing amounts, faster extraction)
[ My Bank ]
↓ (Wire)
[ Coinbase / Crypto / Bitstamp ]
↓ (Buy ETH)
[ imToken ]
↓
[ Scammer Wallet ]
↓
[ Fake Kiki Interface ]
- Wire transfers used to:
- Bypass holding periods
- Prevent chargebacks
- He coached me on:
- What to say to bank staff
- How to justify transfers
- Target amount escalated to $1.2 million
STAGE 6: ONE-WAY FLOW (NO EXIT)
Money goes IN → never comes OUT
- No successful withdrawals
- No verifiable transaction records
- Continued pressure to:
- Borrow money
- Liquidate retirement funds
- Increase amounts for “safety”
SUMMARY FLOW (ONE-LINE VERSION)
My Bank
→ Coinbase / Crypto
→ imToken (access controlled by him)
→ Fake KikiTrade
→ Scammer’s Wallet
→ Gone
WHY THIS DIAGRAM IS IMPORTANT
This shows:
Funds originated from me only
Transfers were induced and directed
Wallet access was compromised
Platform was fraudulent
Final control was his, not mine
This is financial exploitation, not investing.
This is a meticulously designed, long-term scam that exploits people’s innate desires for trust, companionship, and wealth. Keep in mind:
- Real experts will never ask for your passwords or 2FA verification codes.
- If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is—overly high returns almost always come with extreme risks (often fraud).
- Be cautious of unsolicited “wealth mentors,” especially those who steer you away from conventional investment channels (like stocks or mutual funds) toward cryptocurrency and unfamiliar platforms.
- Before investing, always independently verify the authenticity of the platform through official app stores, regulatory announcements (such as those from securities commissions), and other reliable sources.
