InvestorJustice.org has launched the Investor Red Flag Database — a continuously updated record of financial entities, jurisdictions, and practices posing heightened risk to investors. This open-access tool helps investors identify structural and regulatory red flags before harm occurs.
FINMA’s innovation agenda prioritizes market stability over investor safety. When Swiss fintechs fail, losses are treated as collateral damage—contained for institutions, catastrophic for individuals.
Switzerland’s legacy reputation for financial integrity masks serious investor-protection gaps. FINMA’s permissive stance toward cross-border entities, opaque rulings, and innovation rhetoric leave harmed investors without meaningful recourse.
Removing “APR” from a credit product does not make it legal. Under U.S., Swiss, EU, and Cayman law, illegality is determined when the offer was made, not when misleading language is deleted.
Cayman registration limits investor protections. Entities serving foreign clients often fall outside CIMA’s scope, leaving retail investors without a regulator or accessible complaint process.
FINMA claims to provide guard rails for financial innovation. But when innovation creates new ways to harm investors, those guard rails collapse into a smoke screen — and harmed users are dismissed as collateral damage.
Swiss investors face systemic risks, yet regulators remain silent and Swiss media has failed to educate the public. This silence enables harm and shields misconduct.

Nexo was fined $45 million by the SEC for its illegal Earn Interest Product—but many retirement-age investors remain financially ruined, with no recourse. This article calls for overdue cross-border enforcement.
Nexo AG uses a Cayman shell and Swiss branding to shield itself from investor accountability. But the deeper failure is FINMA’s silence — a regulatory choice that puts Swiss credibility at risk.
A forensic reconstruction of deleted Swiss conciliation rights from Nexo AG’s Terms of Use, showing systematic efforts to obscure procedural access for retirement-age investors.
This evidentiary brief outlines cross-jurisdictional violations by Nexo AG, where APR-marketed loans were actually high-risk margin accounts. It includes legal precedent, investor harm, and forensic evidence calling for regulatory intervention.
