I was not provided with all the information i needed to make an informed decision. I still don't have clarity on how this circle will end. The only thing I'm sure of is that payment after another and I'm not close to receiving my proceeds

On the 25 February 2022, i reached out to Ethan Lucas or Steven Tyler an account manager for Apex Cryto Exchange with regard to bitcoin purchase or trading. He explain the trading process works. Which he said i will need a $200 for start up and also pay him a percentage of my trading proceeds.

On the 26/02/2022 i made my started deposit and register under thier website to monitor my trading. On the 01/03/2022 Ethan asked that i must pay an additional $200 withdrawal fee and make a withdrawal as the trading was complete. Immediately after i receive an email stating that $350 was required for Swift code. When i asked Ethan he confirmed which i didn't have and i was furious that this trading process is now costing me so much. Ethan said i can make a partial payment and the funds will be released and even asked that i get someone to lend me the money as i eill be able to pay it back once my proceeds are paid out.

On the 02/03/2022 i made $200 payment and immediately after Ethan told me that i must settle the balance the "platform" informed him that my proceeds won't be released on part-payment. This was frustrating as he was going back on his word. On the 03/03/2022 i made a payment of $150 which was the balance. Ethan came back to say that he asked the "platform" to stop processing my withdrawal since i need to pay him $49 which was his trading percentage.

This was infuriating to me and i ecplained to him. But he said for me to get my proceeds that is the final payment. On the 04/03/2022 i paid his percentage which he never acknowledged even after i send him my bank confirmation. He insisted that i pay him his percentage if i want my withdrawal to be released. I explained to him that I'm not going to pay an additional $49 as i already did. He said i was not serious about making money and he is stopping to text me until i am ready ans serious.

I need reached to his "platform" and all i got was that i need to pay Ethan's percentage with no acknowledgement of the payment i made on the 04/03/2022. I was also informed that i will not be refunded any of the money i put into this process.
