BREAKING (Jan 2026): Following the extradition of Prince Group Chairman Chen Zhi, law enforcement has begun seizing master wallets. Do not pay any “tax” or “verification fee” to withdraw funds from bchworld.com or its associated domains, as these were automated exit-scam tactics.
Dear investors, we have uncovered a massive intel into the now dismantled BCHWorld fraud network. What began as a small-scale scam broker in the early 2020s quickly evolved into a global criminal operation with several dozen domains and subdomains in under 5 years.
We’ve found that these domains were all linked to the AKH Scam Empire and the Prince Group, the former and latter whose directors are in custody right now in different countries.
As of January 2026, international authorities, including the DOJ and European regulators, have connected this “broker” to a multi-billion dollar money laundering hub.

Evidence That These Domains and Subdomains Were Run By The Same Empire
- FSMA (Belgium) & CNMV (Spain): In July 2024, these regulators officially linked BCHWorld to bchworldex.com.
- Users reported that after bchworld.com went dark, they were instructed by “account managers” to move their funds to bchworldex.com or bchworldue.com. Victim testimonies on platforms like Traders Union, Scam Detector, and ReliableForexBroker reported that when the original site (bchworld.com) went offline, “account managers” contacted users via Telegram or WhatsApp. They were deceived that the platform was “upgrading” or “migrating for security reasons” to bchworldex.com or bchworldue.com. They were then instructed to deposit new funds into the new domain as a “verification fee” or “tax” before they could “access” all their funds in one place.
- Both domains(bchworld.com, bchworldex.com, and bchworldue.com) were registered through NameSilo, LLC.
- Both use the same technical contact telephone number: +1.3478717726.
- Analysis of the Let’s Encrypt and DigiCert SSL certificates used by these sites shows they were issued within the same administrative batch.
- Both sites contained the same Google Analytics (UA) or Tag Manager IDs in their source code. This proves that the same person/group was monitoring the traffic and user behavior across both websites from a single dashboard.
- The “Favicon” (the small logo in the browser tab) on both sites had the same MD5 hash. This means the exact same digital file was uploaded to both servers.
- During our analysis, both sites returned identical HTTP headers (server configuration responses), indicating they were running on the same server environment (likely a cloned Nginx configuration).
- All the domains(sites) used the same user interface (UI), same “About Us” text, and the same fraudulent trading charts.
- Users report being contacted by the same Telegram handles/account managers regardless of which domain they were currently logged into.
- The sites shared a “login redirection” script. This is the mechanism that allows “account managers” to tell a user, “Log in to the new site with your old credentials”. It worked because both sites were connected to the same backend user database.
1. The Evidence: Why BCHWorld And Its Associated Domains & Sub-Domains Were Confirmed Scams
While they operated under the guise of a legitimate crypto investing platform or apps, their foundations were built on outright deception. Unlike legitimate brokers, these entities lacked transparency, legal standing, and ethical business practices.
1. Official Regulatory Warnings (AFM, FSMA, CNMV)
The high-risk nature of bchworld.com is documented by financial authorities across Europe:
- AFM (Netherlands): Confirmed BCHWorld (operating as “Bitboxpro” or bitboxproex.com) was highly fraudulent and warned investors to reject all offers.
- FSMA (Belgium) & CNMV (Spain): In July 2024, these regulators officially flagged bchworldex.com as a fraudulent platform, linking it to wider criminal networks.
- International Alert (2025-2026): Authorities have noted that the scam migrates to new domains every 3-6 months to evade blacklists.
2. The “Zombie” Corporate Identity
BCHWorld claimed to be operated by BCH Global Limited. In the source code of many BCHWorld domains, the copyright footer or the “Governing Law” section explicitly named BCH Global Limited as the contracting party.
- The Deception: They used a UK incorporation certificate (Company No. SC693638) to “prove” legitimacy.
- The Reality: Records show this entity was dissolved via compulsory strike-off in August 2023. The scammers essentially used the “skin” of a dead company to trick modern investors.
3. Victim Testimonies: The “Migration” Trap
Recent reports from January 2026 showed a devastating pattern of “Double-Dip” scamming. Victims who were originally on bchworld.com were systematically targeted by so-called account managers as the site went dark.
Victim Testimony (January 15, 2026): “I had $45,000 in my BCHWorld account. When the site stopped loading, my manager, ‘Elena,’ contacted me on Telegram. She told me the platform was migrating to bchworldex.com for ‘security reasons.’ She said to see my funds again, I had to pay a 15% ‘Migration Tax.’ I paid it, and now she has blocked me, and both sites are inaccessible.”
The Pattern: Scammers often use these transitions to demand “verification fees,” “IRS taxes,” or “withdrawal insurance.” Legitimate brokers never ask for additional deposits to process a withdrawal.
4. Domain Cluster Strategy
One of the biggest red flags is the company’s operation under dozens of multiple domains and subdomains as highlighted above. This was an elaborate tactic to facilitate “pump-and-dump” schemes and evade law enforcement.
The scammers used specific subdomains to run their fake trading interface: app., pc., m., wt., admin., web., trade., h5., api., static., ios., download.
Forensic Proof: Our analysis of the SSL certificates and Google Analytics IDs showed that all these domains were managed from a single dashboard. The “Favicon” (logo) on these sites had the same MD5 hash, proving the exact same digital files were used across the entire network.
Forensic Blockchain Analysis: Where the Money Went
Our intelligence unit ultimately traced transaction IDs (TxIDs) provided by BCHWorld victims. The path of the stolen funds revealed a sophisticated laundering operation.
The “Huione” Money Pipeline
Forensic data shows that BCHWorld deposits were not sent to a trading pool, but directly into Huione Guarantee (rebranded as Haowang Guarantee) wallets.
- The Hub: Huione acts as a “crypto marketplace” for Southeast Asian scammers.
- From Huione, the funds were bundled and moved into high-volume deposit accounts on major exchanges like Binance and HTX.
The Scale: Huione-linked entities have processed over $98 billion in total inflows as of January 2026, with a significant portion stemming from investment scams like BCHWorld. Data Source: Statistics regarding Huione Group inflows were sourced from The 2026 Crypto Crime Report (Chainalysis, Jan 2026) and the forensic blockchain analysis titled “Xinbi and Huione: The $98 Billion Money Laundering Marketplace” (Elliptic, 2025).
Deep-Dive: The AKH Scam Empire, Prince Group and The BCHWorld Connection
Our 2026 investigation has identified the “Parent Organizations” behind BCHWorld! This is not just a website; it is a node in a global syndicate.
The AKH Syndicate (A.K. Group)
Based in the Republic of Georgia and Dubai, the AKH Scam Empire used “white-label” software kits to deceive unsuspecting investors. The specific “h5” mobile interface and subdomain structure (api., static., wt.) identified in BCHWorld were identical to those used by other AKH-linked entities like Finbok and VP Trade.
The Prince Group & Huione Guarantee
Our forensic tracing of victim transaction IDs (TxIDs) confirmed that funds from BCHWorld flowed into a high-volume hub known as Huione Guarantee.
- January 2026 DOJ Update: Recent investigations into the $15 billion DOJ seizure have established that the Prince Group (led by the recently extradited Chen Zhi) provided the physical infrastructure for these scam groups.
- BCHWorld was effectively a “retail front” for these massive money-laundering machines.
A Summary Of How the BCHWorld Scam Worked (Tactic by Tactic)
Step 1: The Lure (Social Media & “Romance”)
Fraudsters obtained contact details through unauthorized database leaks or social media. They often posed as “successful traders” or “account managers” on Telegram or WhatsApp.
Step 2: The “Migration” Trap
When a domain like bchworld.com went dark, account managers told users the platform was “upgrading for security” to bchworldex.com, bchworldue.com, or any other associated domain. They then instructed victims to deposit new funds as a “verification fee” or “tax” to sync their old balance. This was an elaborate lie designed to extract one final payment.
Step 3: Manipulated Trading Charts
BCHWorld and its associated domains and subdomains used a pre-built trading kit with fake charts. The scammers would manually “pump” investors’ account balances to make them look like they were winning, encouraging them to invest more. However, when they tried to withdraw, they were asked to pay so-called a “fee” or “tax” first, or their accounts were simply frozen.
Step 4: Coercion Tactics
BCHWorld representatives use telephone number +447961703011 and emails like info@bit-boxpro.com or info@bchworldex.com to harass victims. They use aggressive psychological pressure, claiming that “legal action” will be taken if taxes aren’t paid.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why are there positive BCHWorld reviews on Google?
A: These are fake reviews generated by the AKH syndicate’s “reputation management” teams. They used bots and paid authors to drown out real victim complaints.
Q: Can I get my money back from bchworldex.com?
A: Yes, since the main masterminds behind this massive syndicate have been taken into custody. However, it’s a bit difficult since these funds flowed through Huione Guarantee and into major exchanges like Binance or HTX, requiring forensic tracing.
Q: Is BCH Global Limited a real company?
A: It was a shell company registered in the UK to provide a thin layer of credibility. It was legally dissolved in August 2023.
Final Verdict: Stay Away
BCHWorld and all its associated domains and subdomains highlighted above were operated by a major scam syndicate. Whether they call themselves Bitboxpro, BCHWorld, or BCH Global Ltd, the goal was the same: to steal your hard-earned money. With the recent arrest of the main masterminds, victims of this dubious empire have some hope of recovering their funds.
