What happened with CW-Management / Capital Wealth Management?

They reportedly used fake celebrity endorsements such as Martin Lewis to add credibility to their claim of being experts within cryptocurrency trading.
Investors have reported the following red flags:
Promises of high cryptocurrency returns
Contact initiated through social media advertising
Requests for additional “withdrawal” or “tax” fees

Unable to Withdraw Funds from CW-Management / Capital Wealth Management?
After persuading clients to invest their hard earned funds, CW-Management / Capital Wealth Management allegedly requested further withdrawal fees for multiple reasons including tax and money laundering fees.
This is a common tactic within online trading scams where fraudsters would continue to request further withdrawal fees without ever releasing the funds for investors.
Fake Martin Lewis Cryptocurrency Advertisements
Scammers often use celebrities to make their company seem legitimate to investors. Martin Lewis is a regular victim of a fake celebrity endorsement due to their involvement within financial services.
Due to the popularity of using his name for fraudulent purposes, his company, The Money Saving Expert, has since released an article confirming that he does not participate in advertisements.
