These various "prime bank" trading programs or similar trading programs that offer secret, private investment markets, which purport to offer above average market returns with below market risk through the trading of bank instruments are fraudulent. Offering such programs, or claiming to be able to introduce investors to people who have access to such programs, violates numerous federal law; including criminal laws.

Investment programs in which a financial institution is asked to write a letter, commonly referred to as a "Blocked Funds Letter," advising that funds are available in the account, "clean, and of non-criminal origin," and free of "liens or encumbrances" for a certain time frame, are frequently used to perpetrate fraud schemes. These letters have no use in legitimate banking circles.

The symbols, names, and products of the U.S. Treasury Department are misused in these schemes in several ways. Some schemes claim that the U.S. Treasury:

- Backs or approves such programs

- Has a "secret trading room"

- Must approve the humanitarian projects connected to these schemes

NONE of these assertions are true
