Who is FarallonFX?
On the surface, FarallonFX looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://www.farallonfx.com. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind FarallonFX is where the problems begin.
Is FarallonFX regulated?
We could find no evidence that FarallonFX holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.
Red flags we identified
- Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
- No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record
- Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
- Aggressive “account managers” coaching clients to deposit
- Account dashboards that show “gains” with no real market exposure
Our analysis
FarallonFX claims to be owned and operated by Machuk LLC, a company in Republic of the Marshall Islands, registration number: 965995, offering wide range of financial services, including Crypto, Forex, Indices, Commodities and more instruments in global markets. We did find a Machuk LLC in the Marshall Islands company registration, but the Marshall Islands does not regulate financial derivatives brokerage services. The truth is that FarallonFX is not regulated by any regulators. Letting it hold or control investors' money is unsafe, and the money can not be protected by any laws. FarallonFX is a scam.
Can you recover money lost to FarallonFX?
If you have deposited with FarallonFX, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
