Miami Man Arrested for Alleged Forex Trading Scam
Roberto Pulido, aka Berto Delvanicci, was arrested and charged with investment fraud, communications fraud, and grand theft related to his alleged role in a foreign exchange market trading scam.
Pulido, through his company Lions of Forex, LLC, allegedly marketed an online program to learn foreign exchange market trading. He purportedly charged $3,000 for one-on-one training and $155 monthly service fees for access to his trading platform. Pulido also allegedly offered to trade retail forex on behalf of clients, guaranteeing monthly profits and claiming they could withdraw their money at any time. However, the investigation revealed that Pulido was purportedly using the money to fund his personal lifestyle.
The case was investigated by the OFR and the case is being prosecuted by the State Attorney’s Office, 11th Judicial Circuit.
In January 2025, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced orders of final judgments against Pulido and Lions of Forex requiring approximately $172,0000 in restitution to be paid to defrauded clients and more than $516,000 in penalties.
