BitVantage — Account balance wiped after refusing to recruit new members

I got brought into BitVantage through a trading group on Discord where everyone was showing off huge daily returns. The platform looks legit at first glance, and they even let me withdraw $50 early on to prove it worked. Based on that, I deposited another $2,000. That’s when the strategy changed, and my account manager started pressuring me to join their "VIP Affiliate Tier" by getting three of my friends to sign up and deposit cash.

When I told them flat out that I wasn't interested in recruiting people and just wanted to continue trading on my own, my account performance tanked overnight. I logged in to see a massive string of highly suspicious, automated losing trades that completely wiped out my balance down to a few cents.

Customer support claims it was just "market volatility" and that I need to top up my balance to recover, but the charts they are using don't match live market data anywhere else. They completely control the backend numbers. It is a absolute trap designed to force you to recruit others to get your own money back.
