There is uncertainty in some crypto networks due to the recent publishing of a comprehensive list of payment service providers to be probed in 2023 by the Lithuanian financial watchdog.

Binance Visa Card Issuer Under Scrutiny

Authorities in Lithuania, notably the central bank, are pushing hard on the industry that facilitates electronic payments. A financial watchdog recently made a statement in which it named the financial firms that are currently being looked into. There are numerous well-known names among them: Revolut, Swedbank, UCCU, LTL Credit union, Finansines Paslaugos Contis, UAB Rebellion Fintech Services, UAB Guru Pay, and many more.

‘Cryptoqueen’ Boyfriend Gets Five Years in Onecoin Scam

Binance and Crypto.com, among others, will be impacted by the probe of those service providers.

Binance exchange has a partnership with the network Contis, which is being looked at. If you look at the website for the platform, you’ll see that the Binance Card is something that Contis Bank is responsible for making and distributing.

Numerous charges have been made about the Contis network. As a first step, the central bank of Lithuania has flagged this system as having security and information technology risk management problems. The allegations also include possible infringement of laws meant to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

The announcement states that the probe of Contis Bank will occur in the first quarter of 2023. Especially in the first quarter, the connection between Contis and Binance may affect service delivery in the exchange. However, it is not apparent if the ongoing investigations into Contis are connected to the exchange’s Binance ties.

A number of financial regulators looked closely at Binance a few years ago. Some of Binance’s key partners, like Barclays and Santander banks, left because of the scrutiny. In spite of this, Contis is still working with Binance to issue Visa cards.

Transactive Systems, An Affiliate Of Crypto.Com, Looked Into

One of the largest cryptocurrency trading networks, Crypto.com, has also been affected by recent events. Another network reportedly under investigation is Lithuania’s Transactive Systems UAD. After conducting investigations into Transactive Systems UAB, Lithuania’s central bank recently declared that it has uncovered violations of anti-money laundering and terrorism financing regulations.

The financial network was told to stop “creating business contacts with new clients and not to give services to existing clients who provide financial services” because of the suspected infractions. It has been claimed that Crypto.com has been impacted since the resulting scrutiny is making it difficult for customers to make purchases.

Although the Central Bank of Lithuania is presently cracking down on cryptocurrencies, it has permitted various cryptocurrency projects in the past.

‘Cryptoqueen’ Boyfriend Gets Five Years in Onecoin Scam

Gilbert Armenta, the former boyfriend of wanted criminal Ruja Ignatovia, received a five-year prison term for stealing over 300 million dollars worth of investments from the investors of the fake OneCoin investors' funds. Gilbert was charged with taking an active role in a conspiracy that defrauded the client's tens of millions in the one coin project where he held a significant position in the defrauding company. The 59- year- old Gilbert was found guilty in 2018 of intent to engage in extortion and money laundering. Who is Cryptoqueen? Ruja Iganatovia OneCoin founder. OneCoin was introduced in early 2014 by Ruja Ignatovia, a citizen of Bulgaria. The venture was a four-billion-dollar high-rise marketing business. According to its supporters, the one coin was the revolution waiting for the financial sector. Additionally, the coin creators said that gold reserves supported the coin and also the blockchain; the creator also said that one coin would become superior to Bitcoin. (BTC) OneCoin’s supporters claimed that the number of coins in circulation was one- hundred and twenty billion and that the coin would be among the most valued cryptocurrencies worldwide. However, all this turned out to be a pyramid scheme since the blockchain, or real cryptocurrency, did not back it up. OneCoin embezzled nearly four billion dollars from millions of investors between its conception and its discovery as a Ponzi scheme in 2016.  Among the ways the investors were scammed was through educational courses for trading cryptocurrencies, for which they had to pay between € 100 and 118000 Of this fraud, several investors lost their life savings with the development of Onecoin's case, which has been named one of the biggest and most complex fraud cases in history. Gilbert’s imprisonment has relieved the victims of the fraud, who haven't received reimbursement of their money. This is a step closer to the justice they hope to receive. As of the time of writing,...
