Threat Profile
Burrell Stockbroking Pty Ltd ( presents itself as a cryptocurrency and online trading platform operating at https://www.sagestoneam.com.au. CryptoCISO flagged the operator during routine counterparty-risk screening.
Regulatory Posture
On the regulatory side, Burrell Stockbroking Pty Ltd ( does not hold a verifiable financial-services licence. Its only apparent footprint is a corporate registration in Australia – a jurisdiction whose company registry confers International Business Company status, not authorisation to handle client funds or operate a brokerage. An IBC filing is a corporate formality, not financial oversight.
Indicators We Flagged
- Incorporation in Australia presented as if it were regulation
- Crypto-only deposits that bypass chargeback protections
- Cloned or template website design shared with other flagged operators
- Opaque corporate identity and unverifiable team or address
On-Chain & Operational Notes
Where we have visibility, funds sent to comparable operators move rapidly off-platform into obfuscation infrastructure. The window for effective blockchain tracing is widest immediately after the transfer, which is why prompt documentation matters.
CryptoCISO Risk Verdict
On balance, Burrell Stockbroking Pty Ltd ( carries a elevated risk profile. The evidence points away from a legitimate, supervised brokerage and toward an operation structured to retain deposits.
If Your Funds Are Exposed
If you have funds with this platform, stop sending additional deposits immediately and do not pay any ‘release’, ‘tax’, or ‘verification’ fee requested to unlock a withdrawal – these are themselves part of the fraud. Preserve everything: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, deposit receipts, chat logs, and the account dashboard. The sooner the on-chain trail is documented, the more options remain.
