Capital Blu Management LLC showed their clients solid monthly returns. It looked like a sound investment. The only real warning sign was that the money wasn't in individual accounts, but in a pooled account.

According to the CFTC, while clients thought they were getting those monthly returns, Capital Blu was really losing over $7 million of the $17 million that has been invested. Millions more are unaccounted for, The owners, Donovan Davis, Jr., Blayne Davis, and Damien Bromfield are charged with running a fraudulent commodity pool. In addition to the chages against those individuals and CapitalBlu, a second company, DD International Holdings, LLC, is also charged. Further, there is an issue of money being illegitimately transferred to Nakano Capital Partners, LP, Nakano Capital Advisors, LLC, and/or Nakano Capital Management, LLC.

Some of the money was also misused for personal use. Things like luxury cars and private jet charters were paid for with client funds. Some of it was misused for very personal use. $40,000 was spent for a two night party at a “gentlemen's” club. We are shocked at these abuses of client funds and saddened that none of us ever get invited to that sort of party.

There were about 100 investors involved. That would make the average investment $170,000. 7 million was lost. That cost each investor an average of $70,000. There are millions more unaccounted for.

We wish to give a very special Thank You to the newest member of the FPA's Review Moderation Team for bringing this to our attention earlier today. She is proving to be a very valuable asset to the Forex Peace Army.

The FPA has blacklisted CapitalBlu. We hope that most of the missing money can be recovered so that investors can get at least some of their money back.

You folks are providing an important service to the retail forex community. Thanks for shining a strong light to show us where the cockroaches are. And thanks for your efforts and hard work.

After hearing about these investigations and all the negative feed back that is on the "reviews and ratings", on just about every broker out there, how does a guy know which broker to use or is it just "buyer beware"???????

These guys aren't brokers. They were account managers (or, mis-managers). Pooled accounts are so vulnerable to theft and corruption that I'd never risk one. Individual accounts with your own brokerage at least prevent grand theft by the manager.

Dear Scam Investigations Committee:
Thank you so very much for your extraordinary work- RESPECT!
FPA is the most supportive organisation and we appreciate it so much.
Re: Capital Blu Management:
There is a Damien Bromfield runnign the Forex Signals Plus (https://www.forexsignalsplus.com/) that trades accounts.
Is that the same company and/or person as appear in your report?
FPA is the most supportive organisation and we appreciate it so much.

The Capital Blu review page lists profxalerts.com as another domain of the same company.

I'm not sure if any other company is run by them or not, but I'll bet one of the scam investigators checks into it.

Thanks for the piece. However I feel that time has really come when more strigent rules should be applied to these management firms.
