Exposing the 5 day to 40 Week Bullet Trade Program Scam

Exposing the 5 day to 40 week bullet trade program scam

Exposing the 5 day to 40 week bullet trade program scam

People approach our structured debt advisory desk asking for Standby Letters of Credit to “join” these so-called programs. Let’s be blunt: they’re a scam. The script recycles the same lines—“funds never leave,” “no fees,” “tier-one platform,” “T+5 settlement”—to push you into blocks, escrow you don’t control, or SBLC issuance against your cash. The goal is control of your balance, not performance.

Bottom line
Fixed weekly returns for 5 to 40 weeks are fantasy. “Funds never leave” usually means an MT760 pledge or similar block in favor of an unknown trader. SBLCs are collateral support, not profit engines. No audits, no named custodians, no regulator—no deal.

What they claim vs what’s true

Claims
  • Guaranteed payouts in 5 days up to 40 weeks
  • “Funds remain in your account” after a SWIFT “ping”
  • “Tier-one platform” trading bank instruments
  • “No upfront fees,” “T+5 settlement”
Facts
  • Weekly doubles compound to absurd, impossible figures
  • Blocks and pledges transfer control despite visible balances
  • SBLCs and MT messages support credit and settlement, not yield
  • Absence of audits, custodian letters, and regulator filings is fatal

How they take control of your funds

SWIFT blocks / pledges
MT760 or a bank letter encumbers your balance in favor of their trader. You see the number, but you can’t use it.
Escrow they control
The “trusted” lawyer or trustee is theirs. Release triggers tilt their way. Retrieval turns into litigation.
Hidden assignments
A single clause inside a POF/RWA letter grants trading rights over your balance. That line is the trap.

What the ads actually say (anonymized)

[A] “ 5 Day to 40 Week Bullet Program. 100% net to client. Funds remain in account. Only MT799 required. ”

[B] “ Tier-one desk cycles leased SBLCs weekly. No risk. No fees. Fixed payout. ”

[C] “ Invitation only. Access after NCNDA. Program closes Friday. ”

A quick story

Remember the classic “Nigerian Prince” email promising a fortune if you helped move funds? This is the tuxedo version. Same fantasy profit, better stationery, more acronyms. The difference is presentation, not substance. And to be crystal clear—no shade to Nigeria as a nation. Nigeria has plenty of serious, credible business leaders. The joke is on the recycled script, not the country.

Red flags to end the call

  • Fixed weekly returns for 5 to 40 weeks
  • “Funds never leave” paired with MT760/pledge language
  • No audited performance or custodian confirmations
  • Heavy NDAs used to dodge verification
  • Escrow or trustee chosen by the promoter
  • SBLC “monetization” presented as the yield engine

Treat “5 day to 40 week bullet trade programs” as scams. The combination of impossible returns, custody sleight of hand, and zero verifiable oversight says everything you need to know.
