  Who Is CarlosGustavo Luna? Page 04 • Carlos Gustavo Luna is an Argentine national born on September 16, 1964, in Córdoba, Argentina. He holds Argentine passport number AAD238804 (issued July 21, 2015, expired July 21, 2025) and DNI number 17000756. He presents himself as the CEO of ITF Capital Partners, operating from a registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. • His actual physical presence, however, is in Madrid, Spain, where ITF Capital Partners maintains a business address at Calle Poeta Joan Maragal No. 9, Escalera Norte, C.P. 28020 Madrid, España. His phone number (+44) 20 3287 7820 is a London-area VoIP number, not a Spanish landline — indicating the London presence is virtual. • Luna uses two email addresses: info@itfcapitalpartners.com (the official UK LLP email) and info@itfserviciosfinancieros.com (a Spanish-language

  The Corporate Structure: Designedto Hide Ownership Page 05 • ITF Capital Partners LLP was incorporated in England and Wales on May 28, 2020, under partnership number OC431900. The UK Companies House filing reveals a deliberately opaque ownership structure. • The two designated members of the LLP are not individuals but corporate entities: 1. ITF Capital Partners Shareholding Company — a Series LLC registered at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Sussex, Delaware 19958, governed by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. 2. ITF Avales y Cartas de Credito, LLC — also at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Sussex, Delaware 19958, also under Delaware law. • The address 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware is a well-known registered agent address used by thousands of shell companies. The PSC (Person with Significant Control) filing states there is no registrable person with significant control — meaning no individual's name appears in the ownership chain. Carlos Gustavo Luna controls the entity through these Delaware intermediaries while keeping his name off the public ownership

  The Scheme: €150 MillionSBLC from Deutsche Bank Page 06 • The operation works through two phases, each requiring a substantial upfront payment. • Phase One: ITF Capital Partners enters into a contract to provide "financial structuring services," including opening a joint account at UBS Bank to hold funds up to €200 million. The client pays a substantial upfront fee. The UBS account is never opened. The financial structuring services are never provided. • Phase Two: ITF Capital Partners enters into a second contract to manage and facilitate the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) from Deutsche Bank in the sum of €150,000,000. Transmission and administrative costs totaling over €300,000 are required upfront. The SBLC is to be monetised in two phases: the first phase 45 days after issuance to Deutsche Bank, the second phase 30 days thereafter. • The SBLC is never issued. Deutsche Bank never receives any instruction from ITF Capital Partners. ITF stops responding to all communications. Multiple victims have reported losing a combined total exceeding €377,500 through this scheme.

  Luna's Defense: Claims theSBLC Was Issued (Without Proof) Page 07 • When confronted with formal demands, Carlos Gustavo Luna has responded by claiming that "the SBLC of Deutsche Bank was indeed issued, complying with the spirit of the contract." • Luna has stated he can "attach a copy of said issuance" — but no copy has ever been produced. If a €150 million SBLC had truly been issued by Deutsche Bank, producing the MT760 SWIFT message would be trivial. No such document has ever been provided to any victim. • Luna's responses also contain critical inconsistencies. He signs as "C.E.O., ITF Capital Partners LLC" — but the UK entity is an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), not an LLC. An LLP does not have a CEO; it has designated members. He responds from info@itfserviciosfinancieros.com rather than the official info@itfcapitalpartners.com. And he addresses only the SBLC contract

  Red Flags forPotential Victims Page 09 • Anyone approached by Carlos Gustavo Luna, ITF Capital Partners LLP, ITF Capital Partners LLC, ITF Servicios Financieros, or any entity operating from 71-75 Shelton Street London or Calle Poeta Joan Maragal 9 Madrid should be aware of the following: ⚬ 1. No legitimate entity issues €150 million SBLCs from Deutsche Bank for a €307,500 fee. The fee-to-instrument ratio is absurd. Deutsche Bank does not work with entities registered at virtual office addresses. ⚬ 2. The 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London address is a virtual office used by thousands of companies. It does not indicate a physical London presence. ⚬ 3. The Delaware ownership structure with no disclosed PSC is designed specifically to prevent victims from identifying the controlling individual. ⚬ 4. The use of Revolut (a digital bank) rather than a traditional commercial bank for a company claiming to facilitate €150 million transactions is inconsistent with the claimed scale of operations. ⚬ 5. The dual-domain operation (itfcapitalpartners.com and itfserviciosfinancieros.com) suggests parallel operations targeting different language markets with the same scheme. ⚬ 6. Luna's passport expired in July 2025. If he has not renewed it, his ability to travel
