• Legal basis: The Public Statement is issued pursuant to Section 37A of the Financial Services Commission Act, 2001.
• Public advisory: Members of the public are advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid conducting any business with GAEA INVESTMENT, and are invited to report any relevant information about the entity or similar questionable operators to the FSC.

The statement is purely informational and protective in nature, aimed at warning consumers and market participants rather than imposing compliance obligations on licensed BVI entities.
