'I Couldn’t Get My Money Back' – Investor Exposes Stonewall Capital's Withdrawal Trap

A retail investor has come forward with serious allegations against Stonewall Capital, claiming the platform used a series of questionable “fees” and blockchain payment demands to block the withdrawal of trading profits.

How the Alleged Stonewall Capital Withdrawal Scam Unfolded

According to the investor, they joined Stonewall Capital in December 2025 with an initial deposit of $20,000. After several months of trading under the guidance of platform “mentors,” the investor said the account balance reportedly grew to approximately $58,000.

However, problems allegedly began when the investor attempted to withdraw funds.

“Withdrawal Fees” and Blockchain Charges

The investor stated that after requesting a withdrawal, platform representatives allegedly encouraged them to withdraw the entire balance due to a supposed 20% VAT implication. After submitting the withdrawal request, the investor says he was unexpectedly informed that an additional “settlement fee” of $6,380 had to be paid before the funds could be released.

The situation reportedly escalated further when the investor was instructed to process the transfer through blockchain channels.

Days later, the investor received a notice claiming that an additional $15,000 “gas fee” was required before the funds could be released. Believing the payment was necessary, the investor transferred the requested amount through a crypto exchange account.

Despite paying the fee, the investor claims only $793 was eventually received, after which another request for an additional $15,000 gas fee allegedly followed.

The investor later checked regulatory information and concluded the operation was likely fraudulent.

Regulatory Concerns Surrounding Stonewall Capital

Stonewall Capital reportedly claims to operate under FINDEXA ADVISORY (PTY) LTD, which is said to hold authorization from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) under licence number FSP 52500.

However, the FSCA does not disclose its licensees’ domains, which could pose a risk of identity fraud.

Further concerns were raised after the Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan reportedly issued a warning related to Stonewall Capital in 2024.
