The French Supreme Court (Cour de Cassation) has just recently firmly established the liability of payment processors like WorldPay and Seroph Holding (AlgoCharge) for facilitating unauthorized binary options schemes. As restitution payouts loom, this critical ruling sets a formidable due diligence standard that could ripple across the EU, offering renewed hope for victims pursuing institutional giants like ING's Payvision.
Between 2010 and 2018 Israeli binary options schemes conquered and deceived naive investors around the world. Millions of investors worldwide have lost up to $50 billion. With binary options also came the breakthrough of online payment processors, payment orchestrators, and paytechs. Sarel Tal with his brands AlgoCharge, Seroph, or FremainPay was a payment facilitator for binary options schemes. They have since disappeared. Sarel Tal is working as VP EMEA for regulated fintech Rapyd.
FinTelegram research has been uncovered that the Good Option and Royal Broker binary options scams were operated by the Anguilla-registered G.O. Limited between 2014 and 2015. These and other scams have been facilitated by the Cyprus-based Payment Processor AlgoCharge of the Israeli Sarel Tal who acts as the director of AlgoPay Limited registered in Cyprus. Today all companies and websites have disappeared or are about to.
