I’m trying to do this, finding it hard to find email addresses for AML breaches for particular companies. May be helpful if we can create a list of anyone else has already done this

AmyGee07

They are definitely doing their best to avoid providing such information. A clear sign in where to apply pressure to their company. If they were a genuine compliant company there wouldn't be an issue right?!

Write to the Czech authorities at :

Below is what I've written:


Formal Complaint Against Hashtrix Sro – Request for Investigation


Dear Czech Authorities


{My data}


I am writing to formally request your intervention regarding potential violations of Czech and EU financial regulations by Hashtrix Sro, located at Vlkova 532/8 Praha, Hlavní město Praha, 130 00 Czech Republic, registration number 07225644


### Summary of the Issue


I recently conducted transactions through the company’s platform, in order to be able to add funds into the accounts of an illegal casino based in Curacao, to which I normally should not be allowed to send any funds (given that my bank blocks all transactions related to gambling, based on their MCC Code. Also, such payments should be marked as high risk, given that the funds ultimately head outside the EU and to illegal busines.


I discovered that Hashtrix Sro is operating as a payment processor for illegal online gambling platforms operating without proper licenses. The casino to which I paid is : https://www.luckyones.com/ , based in Curacao. I will attach proof of the transactions from the casino's webpage, so you can link them with the real payments that I made to the Czech company hashtrix.


The company has engaged in questionable financial practices, including:


1. **Processing transactions for unlicensed gambling operators**

-The company facilitated payments for gambling transactions that should not have been processed.


2. **Failure to conduct KYC/AML checks**

- This violates the Act on Selected Measures against Legitimization of Proceeds of Crime and Financing of Terrorism (Act No. 253/2008 Coll.).

- The company did not properly verify my identity or that of the receiving party, despite handling high-risk transactions.


3. **Use of incorrect MCC codes (Transaction Laundering)**

- I had a gambling block activated on my payment method.

- Despite this, Hashtrix Sro processed a gambling-related transaction, which means they must have intentionally miscategorized the payment to bypass restrictions.

- This raises serious concerns about fraudulent activity and transaction laundering.


4. **Evasive and misleading responses from Hashbon and Exchmatrix**

- I initially contacted Hashbon (

https://hashbon.com/, the platform to which I made my payments. They falsely claimed they were not connected to Hashtrix Sro.

- Instead of responding directly, they instructed me to contact support@exchmatrix.com and aml@exchmatrix.com, which are contact emails of https://exchmatrix.com/).

- Exchmatrix is yet another Czech platform allegedly used as a gateway for illegal gambling transactions.

- This deceptive redirection appears to be an attempt to distance themselves from liability and obscure the actual money flow.


### Concerns Regarding Money Laundering


The company operates multiple suspicious websites that serve no real business purpose other than to facilitate unauthorized payments:


- https://hashbon.com/

- https://exchmatrix.com/


These skeleton websites are non-functional, yet they are officially linked to Hashtrix Sro. This strongly suggests that the company may be engaging in money laundering activities by funneling funds through fake platforms.


### Payment Details


I made payments through my VISA Card 416598XXXXXX0845**, totaling €3,290 over seven transactions. These transactions were processed despite the fact that proper KYC and AML checks were not conducted, making them unlawful under Czech and EU financial regulations.


### Formal Requests


Given the gravity of these violations, I urge your agency to:


1. Investigate Hashtrix Sro, Hashbon, and Exchmatrix for their involvement in unauthorized gambling transactions and potential money laundering.

2. Assess the company’s compliance with KYC and AML regulations, as their current practices appear to violate Czech and EU financial laws.

3. Ensure the refund of the unlawful transactions, as the company failed to verify both parties involved, and broke the law by processing them.

4. Confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of any further steps required from my side.


For reference, I am attaching my full communication history with Hashtrix Sro, Hashbon, and Exchmatrix, and payment confirmations. I am also attaching an existing order against them that I found on the intenret. It is the same company. I trust that your agency will take the necessary actions to uphold financial integrity and consumer rights.


I look forward to your confirmation and further guidance. Once again, I state that I would be interested in the refund of the €3290 sum.


I can help with specifics for different countries, just let me know which ones you need

for Czechia

Quickbit payments were actually made to coinshop Lithuania. By replying from quickbit Sweden they're drawing away your attention from the fact that the Lithuanian company was actually the one involved, and the Swedish one can wash it's hands since they have nothing on you. Ignore quickbit responses and keep on them directly to coinshop contact email. I sent a complaint to Lithuanian customer protection for my refund ( tarnyba@vvtat.lt ) and to Lithuanian AML regulator dokumentas@fntt.lt . Contact them right away.

I have actually pointed out a similar scenario to the bank regarding transactions named Coinshop Fomiline UAB where my payment went to a different country than it's supposed according to their terms. I successfully raised the chargeback in this instance. Perhaps I will go down the same route for Goriwire.

They are all subsidiaries of QuickBit though. Do you have the emails for BitSent and GoriWire at all?


I am writing to formally request your intervention regarding potential violations of Lithuanian and EU financial regulations by Algobuy Crypto UAB, located at Žalgirio 90-100, LT-09303 Vilnius, Lithuania, registration number 305987883.


### Summary of the Issue

I recently carried out transactions through the company’s platform, which is used so that players from countries where online gambling is illegal, can direct their payment to illegal casinos. Algobuy Crypto UAB is allegedly operating as a payment processor for illegal online gambling platforms operating without proper licenses. Most of the receiving casinos have a CURACAO license.


The company has engaged in questionable financial practices, including:


1. Processing transactions for unlicensed gambling operators

- This constitutes a breach of the Gaming Law of the Republic of Lithuania (No. IX-325).

- The company facilitated payments for gambling transactions that should not have been processed under Lithuanian law.


2. Failure to conduct KYC/AML checks

- This violates the Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (No. VIII-275).

- The company did not properly verify my identity or that of the receiving party, despite handling high-risk transactions.


3. Use of incorrect MCC codes (Transaction Laundering)

- I had a gambling block activated on my payment method.

- Despite this, Algobuy Crypto UAB processed a gambling-related transaction, which means they must have intentionally miscategorized the payment to bypass restrictions.

- This raises serious concerns about fraudulent activity and transaction laundering.


4. Evasive and misleading responses from a Swedish company

- After contacting Algobuy Crypto UAB, I received responses from a different entity in Sweden (Quickbit), which has the same owner as Algobuy Crypto UAB. I have no contractual relationship or payments made to this Swedish company.

- This appears to be an intentional attempt to avoid responsibility under Lithuanian law.


### Concerns Regarding Money Laundering

The company operates multiple suspicious websites that serve no real business purpose other than to facilitate unauthorized payments:


- https://www.coinshop.work/

- https://www.cryptmarket.eu

- https://coinexc.eu/

- https://coinpin.eu/

- https://litpay.io/

- https://coinpond.net/


These skeleton websites are non-functional, yet they are officially linked to Algobuy Crypto UAB. This strongly suggests that the company may be engaging in money laundering activities by funneling funds through fake platforms.


### Formal Requests

Given the gravity of these violations, I urge your agency to:


1. Investigate Algobuy Crypto UAB for its involvement in unauthorized gambling transactions and potential money laundering.

2. Assess the company’s compliance with KYC and AML regulations, as their current practices appear to violate Lithuanian and EU financial laws.

3. Ensure my immediate refund of 800€, as the transaction was unlawful due to the company’s failure to verify both parties involved.

4. Confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of any further steps required from my side.


For reference, I am attaching my full communication history with Algobuy Crypto UAB and their representatives. I trust that your agency will take the necessary actions to uphold financial integrity and consumer rights.


I look forward to your confirmation of receiving my e-mail and further guidance.

These two are indeed subsidiaries. You're right. For your case, address yourself to Swedish authorities.

GoriWire email:

AmyGee07

You was almost there. I believe Goriwire official website is https://blocksea.org/

The official goriwire address found on my bank statement states, Lodz 135.

In turn, this matches the official address found at the bottom of the blocksea.org website 👍🏻

They sell digital currency.

Bbpaul

Boxblock is GoriWire too. I’ve gone through their details, they might have multiple sites.

Bbpaul

Blocksea emails all come back undelivered

AmyGee07

Yes I noticed that. I sent a gdpr to their data protection email which come back undelivered aswell. Crooks. Are the boxblock emails valid?

Bbpaul

Boxblock has delivered just fine.
