I started trading through EDGX and after about two weeks the account displayed profit of around 160,000 USDT. When I tried to withdraw, I was told that I could not access the funds until a tax-related payment was made.

The demand came only after the balance had grown and I tried to take money out. That changed what looked like a successful trading account into a situation where I was being asked to send more money.

I would not make an extra payment to release a displayed balance without independent confirmation of the platform, the tax requirement, and the destination of the payment.

If you were a victim of this company, I believe you should should report it, but most Cybercrime authorities and law enforcement will only log a complaint, at best build a case against that company and most people would rather not deal with LE. With most of these fake companies you should use a professional recovery service, they are faster and you're sure to get your money back. Write me if you need a referral for the one that helped me.
