Three prop firms lose their Trustpilot ratings in one week

What happened

Two tracked firms had their Trustpilot star ratings pulled this week — and a third, suspended for months, quietly changed its profile name while the badge was up:

• For Traders — warning badge live, "rating unavailable due to a breach of our guidelines". Last-served rating: 3.9 on 1,705 reviews. The repetitive-review pattern behind it was flagged on this board August 10.

• Goat Funded Trader — PropFirmMap reports the profile suspended for fake or manipulated reviews; PropFirmMatch shows the Trustpilot rating as n/a, corroborating. Review volume dropped 4,210 → 3,846 (−364) in the same window, and the recent visible stream is 100% five-star — consistent with removals, not calm.

The rename: AquaFunded → "AquaFunds"

AquaFunded's CFD profile (trustpilot.com/review/aquafunded.com) carries the same warning badge — but this one is not news from this week. An archived copy from January 29, 2026 shows the suspension banner already in place. What has changed since January: the profile's display name. The archived page is headed "AquaFunded"; the live page is headed "AquaFunds". Same URL, same reviews, same badge — different name.

The observable effect: search Trustpilot for "AquaFunded" today and the first result is the firm's separate futures profile (aquafutures.io — 3.9 on 499 reviews, no suspension). The long-suspended CFD profile, under its new name, no longer matches the brand search that would find it. Figures behind its badge: 2.3 TrustScore, 1,193 reviews, 37% one-star. Whatever the intent, a suspended profile that stops answering to the firm's own brand name is a fact pattern traders should see — that is FirmTiers' reading, built on the archived and live pages linked above.

The adjacent numbers

Two more firms moved in ways that fit the same enforcement picture, without platform action:

• Moneta: Trustpilot review base halved, 162 → 81, with the rating falling 4.6 → 4.4 — the removed reviews skewed positive. Two independent trackers agree on the new count.
• Hola Prime: 12 one-star reviews August 11–14 alleging breach-at-payout and denied withdrawals, against 69 five-star landing in the same four days. No platform action; the window ratio is the watch item.

How to read a pulled rating

A suspended profile is not missing data — it is data. Trustpilot removes the star rating when it finds manipulation, so "n/a" on an aggregator is the strongest signal that page can show. On this board, a pulled rating carries a direct trust penalty against the firm's score, and the rating does not come back until the platform restores it.

A review profile that suddenly shrinks, or a one-star cluster buried under a same-week five-star flood, is the same story one step earlier.
