Yan Capital presents itself as the channel of a successful crypto trader: calm slogans about justified risk and not treating markets like a casino. The advertising copy that travels across other channels is louder. It claims a trader nicknamed Yan was blocked by Bybit after dozens of winning trades and huge dollar profits, with capital supposedly climbing into the millions. No case number, exchange statement, or independent news item backs that tale — only recycled promo text and lifestyle photos.
A bot linked to the brand invites people into a closed “marathon” aiming for roughly ten times the deposit in thirty days. That pitch contradicts the sober branding and fits the usual funnel: free signals, then a private group, then a referral link, larger size, paid VIP, API keys, or coins handed to the mentor “to scale”. The channel owner controls which screenshots stay up; they can hide losses and edit entries after the fact. Even when funds never leave a real exchange, the promoter may still earn from affiliate volume while followers overtrade with leverage.
Trust nothing you cannot verify outside the chat. Demand a named legal entity, audited results, and a regulator you can search yourself. Skip API sharing and any “deposit with me” arrangement. Anonymous X10 calendars are entertainment with a tip jar, not mentorship.
If you already funded a lookalike marathon, start at Get help. Anyone offering paid recovery of those losses: Fake recovery.
