Investment Intelligence Corporation Prophet Max Lied about world-class FX trading services, ended up losing 63% of money invested in 24 hour period Brisbane, Australia

We invested in what was represented to be a low risk, relatively high return managed FX trading account.  In one day of trading, we lost 63% of our account when over 225 reckless "trades" were executed.  This violated all representations of how the trading was to occur (2-3 days per month of trading, with 5-8 trades, only 1-3% risk of capital per trade).  Australian Regulators are now investigating this company, Senen Pousa, and other entities involved in this scam, and the courts have frozen bank accounts. This is from the ASIC website (Australian SEC Equivalent)

MEDIA RELEASE:
12-175MR ASIC freezes suspect funds held by unlicensed financial mentoring company
Friday 27 July 2012

ASIC has acted to secure funds invested with an online financial mentoring company, Investment Intelligence Corporation Pty Ltd (Investment Intelligence) while it investigates concerns that the company and its sole director, Mr Senen Pousa, are carrying on a financial services business without holding an Australian financial services (AFS) licence.

ASIC has also obtained a prohibition of departure order against Mr Pousa of Byron Bay in New South Wales. July 2012, ASIC obtained interim orders, by consent, in the Queensland Supreme Court over $3,092,799 held by St George Bank and $313,136 held by American Express Australia in
the accounts of Investment Intelligence.

The matter will return to the Queensland Supreme Court for further hearing at a later date.

Background

Investment Intelligence sold financial
mentoring memberships through an internet platform called ProphetMax. The membership involves a number of web-based modules that include general financial literacy, life coaching and foreign currency trading advice.

ASIC understands there are over 3,000 members worldwide, including Australia.

Investment Intelligence recommended that members engage in foreign currency trading through a broker called IB
Capital registered, in New Zealand.

Members were then instructed by IB Capital to transfer their funds into an account with ING Bank in the Netherlands. It is believed that members were told that these funds would then be used for foreign currency trading by a company in the USA called Global Forex Management.

ASICs investigation has revealed that Global Forex Management is not registered with the Commodities Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) in the US to trade in foreign currencies.

Neither Investment Intelligence or Mr Senen Pousa hold an AFS licence under the Corporations Act 2001.

ASICs investigation is continuing in conjunction with authorities in the US, New Zealand and the Netherlands.
