Telegram has applied scam labels to some channels that funnel traders toward the crypto exchange Weex, including titles in the “SS | INTRADAY” / Nesterov style. Operators then reappear as SS Serebrov Squad (@serebrov_ev and chats) or Nesterov MARATHON (@nesterov_best): signals, marathons, referral links — same machine, new paint.
Weex itself draws repeated withdrawal complaints in public forums; whether or not any single claim is proven in court, a signal shop whose business model is your futures volume on a contested venue is not a mentor. Sibling channels without a scam badge yet — various “HODL”, “DYOR”, marathon brands — can still share the same hop.
If a channel you followed suddenly dies and an admin “migrates” everyone to a twin name, assume the badge chased them. Check the exchange on your local warning lists, and never grant API keys to a marathon bot.
