Multijurisdictional Class Action and Criminal Proceedings Following Extensive Fraud Investigation

LONDON, UK – [August 1st, 2025]  - Last Update: [November 14, 2025] 

Connex Corporate Ltd, in coordination with international legal and financial partners, today announces the formal commencement of a multijurisdictional class action lawsuit and the filing of criminal complaints against an alleged sophisticated international fraud network.

The action follows a comprehensive six-month investigation conducted alongside forensic accountants and legal professionals. The investigation uncovered evidence of a coordinated scheme involving allegations of financial deception, extortion, and fraudulent impersonation.

The alleged operation is reported to have been conducted by a network of individuals utilizing opaque, non-face-to-facechannels and shell entities with no verifiable physical presence or regulatory credentials. The following individuals have been identified as primary subjects of the proceedings:

  • Maddalena Tramontano
  • Laura Angelica Indinimeo
  • Adam Hoffman (indirectly involved)
  • Massimo Giuseppe Berardi
  • Clive A. Cromack
  • Klaus Heinrich Selinger
  • Other individuals (identity pending further investigation)

Key Findings of the Investigation:

The collected evidence, which has been formally submitted to the relevant authorities, indicates:

  • All claims of licensure and regulatory compliance made by the aforementioned individuals and associated entities have been falsified or are otherwise unverifiable.
  • Associated entities, including JB Suisse Platform Ltd and Berardi & Soros Ltd, have been dissolved, are inactive, or are under strike-off procedures.
  • The alleged fraudulent activities are multinational in scope, with estimated damages believed to exceed several million dollars.

⚠️ Update on Fraudulent Entity: As of August 27, 2025, it has been confirmed that the entity referring to itself as “Consortium Tresor Zurich (CTZ)” holds no legal or commercial registration in Switzerland. Its associated website, https://www.consortiumtresorzurich.org, is registered in Malaysia and is identified as fraudulent. The public is strongly advised to exercise extreme caution, refrain from sharing any personal or financial information, and to verify all claims through official Swiss regulatory channels.

⚠️ Update on Involvement of Adam Hoffman: One of the documents circulated by Joseph Berardi to clients claims the involvement of Adam Hoffman as a leading expert in high-yield programs. The document states that Mr. Hoffman was part of Macquarie Capital, which is true. However, Mr. Hoffman now works at MUFG and does not know Mr. Joseph Berardi. The signature bearing Mr. Hoffman’s name on the document in question is not his signature . Importantly, Mr. Hoffman is legally registered and authorized to provide financial advice, whereas Mr. Berardi is not.
