The recent arrest of Joshua “Josh” Cartu in Russia has reignited interest in one of the most notorious financial fraud cases of the past decade—the binary options scheme orchestrated by the Cartu Brothers, centered around the Irish company GreyMountain Management (GMM). Tens of thousands of victims worldwide are still seeking justice and the return of their lost funds, which allegedly financed the extravagant lifestyles of the Cartu Brothers.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced a significant development in its crackdown on fraudulent binary options operations, highlighting the case against the vast binary options fraud scheme GreyMountain Management (GMM), and its three Israeli owners. This case is part of a broader action against a sophisticated binary options fraud scheme linked to the Canadian-Israeli Cartu Brothers—David, Joshua, and Jonathan Cartu.

The Canadian-Israeli brothers David Cartu and Jonathan Cartu, together with Joshua Cartu, are at the very center of a gigantic binary options fraud scheme around the Irish GreyMountain Management Ltd. The Irish Times reports that the Florida-based investor William Thomas Powers and more than 30 other investors sue David Cartu, Jonathan Cartu, and the former Irish directors Ryan Coates and Liam Grainger over more than $4 million in losses. GreyMountain Management Ltd was wound up. The court case started on 28 June 2022 before Justice Michael Twomey.

The fraudulent binary options industry that started its raid around the world from Israel and left hundreds of thousands of victims with billions in losses has collapsed. Some of the former binary options scammers have been in like against the people of the Israeli Liantech Finance Marketing Ltd of Anton Senderov and Lion Babazara. They settled with the US SEC in 2020 and paid fines for their US fraud activities. Although you may regard it a cold case, we would like to know more to support their victims in getting their money back.

The U.S. CFTC filed a fraud complaint against David Cartu, Joshua Cartu, Jonathan Cartu ("Cartu Brothers"), and others in September 2020 alleging vast binary options fraud in the amount of $165 million. The lawsuit could not be served by the CFTC or the relevant U.S. court. So, the CFTC, through paid advertisements in media outlets such as The Times of Israel, has conceded notice of the lawsuit, including notice of meetings and deadlines. Below is yesterday's advertisement from the Times of Israel. As a courtesy to the CFTC and in support of the victims, we are also posting this Legal Notice here on FinTelegram.

The Canadian-Israeli Cartu Brothers were the operators of a $165M binary options fraud scheme, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As a result, the U.S. regulator filed a fraud complaint against David Cartu, Joshua Cartu, Jonathan Cartu, and Nati Peretz, and Leeav Peretz. The Canadian regulator OSC has also taken action against the Cartu brothers for binary options fraud. But now, the Cartu Brothers can buy their way out of the OSC fraud charges for just CAD 300,000. A bargain the brothers will probably laugh about for a long time.

At the last Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) hearing in the fraud charges against David Cartu, Jonathan Cartu, and Joshua Cartu on March 25, 2021, Joshua Cartu did not appear. Nor has he sent a representative, although properly served. Not only the Canadian OSC but also the U.S. CFTC is looking for the Cartu Brothers. The U.S. regulator has brought a fraud complaint against the Cartu Brothers for operating illegal binary options platforms that received more than $165 million from investors. While the CFTC and OSC are looking for him, Joshua Cartu posts greetings from Moscow on Instagram.

The Israeli boiler room CEO Lee Elbaz was already convicted of investment fraud by a U.S. jury in August 2019. She must serve 22 years in prison and repay $28 million to investors. In Vienna, the Israeli Gal Barak has been sentenced to four years imprisonment without probation and the confiscated millions will be repaid to his victims. In the U.S. and Canada, regulators are suing the notorious Canadian-Israeli Cartu Brothers for binary options fraud. Accusations of lies and systematic manipulation are the very essence of the charges and complaints.
