1. Who are Eliran and Liat Oved?
Eliran Oved was previously convicted (2012) for illegally operating a gambling website and money laundering.
Eliran and Liat Oved were involved in managing a call center and several companies (Linkin Media Ltd., E.A.D. Media International Links, etc.) that offered financial instruments such as forex, CFDs, and binary options (PlusOption, Greenfields Capital, Brighter Trade, Bitxplace). The suspects have been sued by at least 38 international clients.
2. Modus operandi – call center and web platform scams
They operated through a call center in Israel, calling potential clients abroad.
They promised high and fast returns, opening accounts with complex financial instruments (forex, CFDs, binary options), but these accounts were manipulated in the company’s favor.
The funds injected by clients were not invested as promised but were used to run the call center, pay commissions, or were redirected to offshore accounts.
3. The scale of the damages
Victims (at least 38 plaintiffs) claim to have lost „hundreds of millions” of dollars in total, with large investments in forex, CFDs, and options.
The allegations are supported by investors from Australia, Europe, and America. One witness (Ken Gamble, IFW Global) describes „a river of money” flowing toward Oved & co.
4. Ongoing legal proceedings
The trial is ongoing in Israel, covering fraud involving binary options, forex, CFDs, etc.
Oved’s defense: they claim to have distanced themselves from illegal instruments such as binary options (banned before 2018) and consider themselves innocent. Lawyer Isaac Shragay avoids public comments, confident that the judge will dismiss the charges. Broader context is available in the Times of Israel.
Israel was a major hub for binary options and forex scams until 2017. After the ban, these schemes disguised themselves under forex or CFDs and relocated to avoid legal restrictions.
Other major similar cases include Yukom, Get Financial, TraderVC, involving multi-million-dollar damages and international criminal convictions.
