You have probably never heard of Madhav Stock Vision, and until this order, there was no reason to. Then SEBI published the recordings, and a scheme built on nothing more than a shared office floor and a pair of good ears came apart in public. No hacking, no forged documents, no complex derivatives. Two dealers […]
Most people who lost money with Stark Investments were not reckless. They were shown a professional-looking deck. They met people with real CVs from large, recognisable financial institutions.

The whole thing started with one complaint. One person who lost money filed with SEBI, and probably assumed nothing would come of it. That complaint turned into an examination of a free Telegram channel called Intraday Jackpot. What SEBI found was a paid subscription operation that ran for over four years and pulled in more
SEBI showed up at the office of Amit Guruh Sachdeva without warning on March 14, 2024. Two days of surprise inspection. And what they took away included his call recordings.

In January 2021, an investor named Pankaj Kumar filed a complaint with SEBI. He had been promised ₹1,000 a day. He had handed over his money to a stock advisory. It was gone. On July 15, 2026, SEBI passed an order directing that his money be returned to him. The amount was ₹410. What the
A man in Madhya Pradesh pretended to be a SEBI-registered advisor, promised people huge guaranteed profits, and collected more than ₹47 lakh from investors. On July 9, 2026, SEBI caught up with him. He has been told to return every rupee, pay a penalty of ₹7 lakh, and stay out of the market for a
We have all seen those tempting messages on Telegram. The ones promising sure-shot trades, triple-digit returns, and a guaranteed way to flip your savings into a small fortune overnight.

On April 9, 2026, SEBI’s Adjudicating Officer Jai Sebastian signed a 33-page order that ended Trdez Investment Private Limited. ₹1 Crore penalty. Expelled from BSE, NSE, and MCX. Every exchange membership is gone. But this order didn’t come out of nowhere. We investigated this case. We filed the complaints. We collected the proofs. And for
