Dozens of French victims filed a legal complaint leading to a trial in March over alleged theft between 2011 and 2014. Worldpay and nine suspected scammers based in France and Israel are accused of persuading people online or by phone to invest in the foreign exchange market, then diverting money into numerous bank accounts worldwide from the Seychelles to Ukraine. Investigators found at least €35 million stolen from hundreds of victims, including retirees and students with bank loans. The French financial authority blacklisted www.investcapitalmarkets.com and the company name BForex. Worldpay denies wrongdoing and says it complies with regulatory standards; victims' lawyer calls for stronger institutional responsibility.
