Unbelievable: Max Verstappen Lost \$38,000,000 to UK Scammers in Luxury Yacht Scam
*Monaco, June 28, 2025* — In a shocking turn of events, Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has reportedly fallen victim to an elaborate luxury yacht scam, losing a staggering \$38 million to a group of sophisticated fraudsters operating out of the UK.
Sources close to the Red Bull Racing driver confirmed that Verstappen had recently made what was supposed to be a record-breaking purchase: a custom-made, state-of-the-art superyacht, said to be among the most expensive ever commissioned. However, the transaction quickly turned sour.
The yacht, allegedly named *Orca One*, was promoted as a fully sustainable, high-tech vessel with hyper-luxury features, including a helipad, underwater lounge, and AI-assisted navigation. Verstappen reportedly transferred the funds to a brokerage firm based in London, unaware that the company was a front for a high-level criminal operation.
Within weeks, red flags emerged when scheduled updates on the yacht’s progress were missed, and the firm suddenly became unreachable. Legal teams and cyber investigators traced the money trail to a network of shell companies across Europe and offshore accounts in the Caribbean.
Interpol has since launched an international investigation into what is now being dubbed “one of the most high-profile celebrity scams in recent years.” Verstappen has not issued an official public statement, but his management team confirmed they are working with authorities to recover the funds and bring those responsible to justice.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing threat of high-value fraud in the world of luxury assets, even for high-profile figures with top-tier advisors.
