Eagle Crest Asset Management Review: Pig-Butchering Scheme Linked to OK-Coin, QamCoin, and Coin-Rush Platforms

Author: BYRP (Blockchain & Yield Risk Publications)
Published by: ForteClaim

Overview

Eagle Crest Asset Management (ECAM) has been reported in connection with a pig-butchering style crypto investment scheme in which residents participated in an online wealth management course led by an individual identified as “Ridel.”

The course focused on stocks and cryptocurrency trading and directed participants to open accounts on multiple crypto trading platforms, including:

• ok-coin.com
• qamcoin.com
• coin-rush.com

Victims report that the platforms appeared profitable during the course, encouraging continued participation and larger deposits — a pattern consistent with controlled trading environments used in crypto investment scams.

How the Scheme Began: ECAM Wealth Management Course

According to reports, residents enrolled in a wealth management course offered by Eagle Crest Asset Management (ECAM).

The course claimed to:

• teach professional trading strategies
• provide insights into stocks and crypto assets
• guide participants toward profitable trades
• operate as a legitimate investment education program

The course was led by an individual using the name Ridel, who acted as the primary authority figure and instructor.

Using an “education first” approach is a common tactic in pig-butchering scams, where trust and credibility are built before funds are introduced.

Direction to Multiple Trading Platforms

As part of the course, participants were instructed to open accounts on several crypto asset trading platforms:

• OK-Coin (ok-coin.com)
• QamCoin (qamcoin.com)
• Coin-Rush (coin-rush.com)

These platforms were presented as:

• approved or recommended trading venues
• necessary for following the course strategies
• suitable for generating profits using ECAM guidance

Victims followed the instructions and deposited funds on one or more of the platforms.

Simulated Profits and Confidence Building

After accounts were opened:

• trades appeared to be successful
• balances displayed steady or rapid growth
• course leaders encouraged continued trading
• participants were motivated to invest more capital

In pig-butchering schemes, these profits are often simulated within controlled platforms rather than generated through real market execution. The purpose is to reinforce trust and escalate financial commitment.

Multiple-Platform Pig-Butchering Structure Identified

Directing victims to multiple platforms is a known tactic in sophisticated crypto scams. It helps:

• create an illusion of legitimacy
• reduce suspicion by spreading activity
• reinforce the authority of the course leaders
• trap funds across several controlled environments

Despite using different domains, the underlying structure remains the same: platforms controlled by or aligned with the scammers.

Scam Indicators Identified

The ECAM / Ridel / OK-Coin / QamCoin / Coin-Rush cluster displays multiple high-risk indicators:

• investment education used as a trust-building tool
• authority figure (“Ridel”) directing trades
• mandatory use of specific trading platforms
• apparent profits shown early
• encouragement to increase deposits
• lack of transparent regulatory oversight

These indicators strongly align with pig-butchering investment scams and fake exchange operations.

What To Do If You Were Involved

If you participated in the Eagle Crest Asset Management course, followed guidance from Ridel, or deposited funds on ok-coin.com, qamcoin.com, or coin-rush.com:

1. Stop sending funds immediately
2. Do not pay any fees to unlock or withdraw assets
3. Preserve all evidence — course materials, messages, screenshots, wallet addresses, transaction hashes
4. Document platform behavior, especially withdrawal issues
5. Report the incident to consumer-protection or cybercrime authorities

Early documentation is critical in coordinated scam cases.

Final Assessment

Based on the use of an investment education course, the authority role of “Ridel,” and the redirection of participants to multiple crypto trading platforms showing apparent profits, Eagle Crest Asset Management (ECAM) and its associated platforms exhibit multiple high-risk indicators consistent with a pig-butchering crypto investment scam. Investors are strongly advised to avoid this cluster and exercise caution with any trading opportunity introduced through private courses or “wealth management” programs.
