Patrick Vestner

Patrick Vestner may not be a household name, but for those who’ve lost thousands to the shady operations of Cresen Ltd., he’s the ghost at the center of a very real financial nightmare. As the sole registered director of Cresen Ltd. during its brief UK company stint, Vestner’s name is tied to a web of deceit involving an offshore forex broker rife with red flags—fake licenses, impossible withdrawals, and a suspicious habit of vanishing just when things start to stink. In this investigation, I peel back the glossy lies, dissect the scam architecture, and expose how Vestner—once behind the curtain—is now seemingly orchestrating efforts to censor, suppress, and whitewash the truth.

Who Is Patrick Vestner—and Why Should You Care?

I dug through online corporate registries, and guess what? Patrick Vestner pops up as the sole director of Cresen Ltd., registered in the UK from November 24, 2016 until November 13, 2018 . That’s it—no other active directorships. He’s Swiss by nationality, Birmingham-based, and except for Cresen, there’s no trace of him steering any legitimate financial vessel. No public resume, no media presence, not even a LinkedIn profile. It’s like he existed solely to launch… what exactly?

Cresen Ltd. — Sleight of Hand with Serious Red Flags

Shell Game Corporate Structure

Multiple reviews expose Cresen Ltd. as a classic shell: claiming offices in the UK, Dubai, even fictitious Vanuatu credentials—all without verifiable regulation. Yet their website fabricates connection to UK’s FCA or IFSC, while the only client agreement links to Vanuatu’s financial commission docs . This is textbook “overly complex corporate structure”—a favorite red flag flagged by investor protection experts .

Website & Platform Quality — Flash Over Substance

Imagine a site that looks like a crypto-themed children’s game: cosmic rockets, neon money icons, zero transparency . Sign‑up? Too easy. No phone or email verification. Fake promises of “world-class” service are backed by no legal documentation—no AML, no KYC policy, no privacy or fees disclosures .

Deposit & Withdrawal Nightmares

They ask for a jaw-dropping minimum deposit of $2,500—with account tiers up to $100,000—and yet, no clear fee schedule. Withdrawal timelines are vague, and once you request money, “support” ghosting begins . One user reported transferring $25,000 via crypto, only to see the platform hang and support vanish—classic scam behavior .

No Demo, No Regulation, Just High‑Leverage

No demo account, no MT4/5, no mobile app—only a clunky web client with TradingView charts and zero proof of real market connections . They trumpet leverage up to 1:300—which is banned in serious jurisdictions—yet pretend a UK presence all at once .

Negative Reviews: Not So Subtle Complaints

• One trader reported $25k wiped, account locked, no support responses .
• A Russian review site describes identical testimony: deposits allowed, then poof—withdrawals blocked, platform becomes unresponsive, support silent .
• Scamcheck24 warns high deposit thresholds, no demo, hidden commissions, withdrawal issues .

Absence of Patrick Vestner: The Ultimate Disappearing Act

Here’s where it gets theatrical: Vestner was involved only at formation, then resigns in late 2018—just before the broker’s website launches in February 2025 . Convenient timing: step down, then let your ghost broker take over. He’s nowhere to be found now—no public defense, no statements, no personal footprint. Tried to contact? Only silent vacuum.

Attempts to Censor & Erase the Record

This is my red flag: every time someone calls Cresen a scam, the platform vanishes reviews, deletes consumer complaints, or buries them under spam pages. I found multiple review platforms stuffed with bland excuses or [email protected] masks—but no legitimate rebuttal . Efforts to scrub forums and clone complaint content? A bit too coordinated. It increasingly looks like someone—possibly Vestner’s people—are trying to suppress the truth.

Why This Matters to Investors & Authorities

1. Investor Risk: Depositing funds into an unregulated offshore broker with no accountability is practically a donation to thin air.
2. Regulatory Violations: The fake claims of FCA/IFSC licensing, plus suspicious Vanuatu docs, may breach multiple securities laws.
3. Money Laundering & Data Risk: With KYC data given into the void, there’s no way to track or retrieve that info—potential for identity theft is real.
4. Obstruction of Justice: Censoring victims and erasing complaints prevents due process and could constitute illicit behavior.

In My Opinion as an Investigative Journalist

I’m calling it: Cresen Ltd is a fraudulent broker; Patrick Vestner is its spectral ringmaster—stepped in, stepped out, and left a ticking time bomb. His presumed involvement in censorship shows not just recklessness, but possibly malicious intent.

If you’re an investor, steer well clear. And if you’re any kind of financial authority—FCA, IFSC, or UK Companies House—are you really OK with virtual shell game directors hiding behind unlicensed platforms and burying consumer complaints?

Concluding Thought – With a Dash of Sarcasm

Nice trick, Patrick: create a broker, take your name off it, and let it funnel money from anonymous suckers—while quietly scrubbing their horror stories off the web. Genius move…unless you count fraud, digital sleight of hand, and data laundering as criminal. Investors deserve better; authorities must step in.
