An advertisement on Instagram upon clicking on it rerouted to community page NQA/Mengguang on WhatsApp requiring group administrator approval for entry. Once approved, group administrator "Samantha Leigh Morgan", an assistant to "Professor Adrian Wolfe" and "Dr. Leon Mercer", introduced group member to daily stock picks which could be transacted through the group member's own investment account. Eventually, Samantha instructed group member to register an account with SparkX (SPX), a trading exchange partnered with NovaQuant Agency (NQA), in preparation for 1000 USDT to be credited to group member's account for trial-test trading, the end of which the 1000 USDT was returned to NQA/SPX upon mandate. Following this was the commencement of the AlphaSynth System V3.0.0 Enhanced Trading Plan, otherwise known as Operation Hunter. This trading plan consisted of six investment tiers with minimum investments from $50000 to $6 million, each with service fees ranging from 10% to 1%, the lower the fee became the higher the tier. A contractual agreement was to be signed via e-signature stipulating that deposits were restricted from withdrawal until the end of a three-month duration from signing or until cumulative profits generated in group member's SparkX account within the contractual timeframe achieved at least 500% ROI (return-on-investment). The investor was to be given daily trading signals generated by an AI system in accordance with the contract which were to be bought and sold as per Samantha's instructions. Another group member named "Mindy Romero" stated to investor that she reversed the trade at the end of every signal to capitalize on liquidations. Investor complied and lost over 156000 USDT compounded from the initial 52190.58 USDT deposit. Investor returned with 236567.11 USDT initial investment prompting the initiation of a new contract, now with a projected return of 1000%. Cumulative profit reached over 1.4 million USDT. Group administrator Samantha stated to investor that a withdrawal of 500000 USDT would be permitted within "contractual limitations" provided that investor pays a fee of 20000 USDT to an address meant for the SparkX "finance department". Upon payment of 20000 USDT, Samantha blocked investor on Telegram. All communication between Samantha and investor has since ceased. Most of the other "group members'/investors'" profile statuses on Telegram appeared uniformly inactive and login access to SparkX has since been denied.
