I joined KHMT through a friend's introduction and deposited a total of US$200,000. My friend also said he knew someone inside who could deposit US$300,000 into the same account as me. The account balance was US$2,533,494, including the initial US$500,000 and a profit of US$2,033,494.

However, during the withdrawal period, various fees were demanded for different reasons:

1. A 19% trading custody service fee of US$321,685 was demanded for the US$1,693,079 profit earned during the escrow period;

2. A 4.5% bank transfer fee of US$98,451 was demanded for transfers from KHMT's finance department;

3. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's finance officer is required to collect a US$40,000 retention fee before he can stamp and sign the document;

4. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) will charge a processing fee of US$43,000;

5. HKMA Chief Financial Officer Chan Kin-pan will charge a late payment fee of US$40,000. 

6. Once the funds reach the head office of the Bank of China, the financial authorities (CBRC) will require proof of the legality of the funds' source and will collect a $30,000 deposit as a guarantee of the legality of the funds' source, which will be returned after one month.

7. The head of the risk management department at the inland bank asked for a red envelope of US$10,000. (This part was not paid.) After May 11, 2022, the client and friend could not be contacted. The total withdrawal fees were US$573,136, of which US$378,000 was paid by the individual, and the friend said he paid US$195,136 through an insider.

I am seeking your help to recover the principal of US$200,000 and the US$378,000 in fees paid.
