Benthorne Academy Review — Is Benthorne Academy a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. Benthorne Academy is a fake trading-education academy that locks user withdrawals behind a fabricated 13% “gas fee” and is backed by an astroturf review network of Benthorne-branded sites. The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid bsofllc.com, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • Victim reports describe a universal block: any withdrawal request triggers a demand for a 13% “gas fee” paid upfront — real blockchain gas is deducted from the transaction itself, never pre-paid to a platform.
  • An astroturf network promotes the brand: benthorne.academy, benthorne-inspect.info, benthorne-scam.com and a promotional Substack all present Benthorne as reputable. These are self-published reputation-laundering sites, not third-party reviews — the naming (including a “-scam.com” domain that actually praises the platform) is a deliberate disinformation pattern.
  • The operation runs through bsofllc.com, an entity with no verifiable regulatory authorization to provide trading education or manage client funds.
  • Course “profits” shown in student dashboards are simulated; students who try to withdraw real balances hit the gas-fee wall.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

A trading loss is a real position that moved against you. You can see the trade. The pattern below is a different event.

  • a 13% “gas fee” demanded before any withdrawal — never pay this
  • multiple Benthorne-branded “review” and “inspector” sites praising it — self-published astroturf
  • “course profits” visible on a dashboard but never withdrawable
  • no verifiable regulatory authorization for education or fund management
  • support goes silent after the fee is questioned
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my Benthorne Academy account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at bsofllc.com. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as Benthorne Academy.

Benthorne Academy says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
