TO MODERATOR: THERE ARE NO NAMES AND PERSONAL DATA. JUST LINKS TO PUBLIC PROFILES(https://www.facebook.com/zuck is not personal data. It's just a public link). SO DON'T MOVE THIS TO INVESTIGATIONS. ALL THE PEOPLE SHOULD SEE THIS TOPIC. I ALSO ASK USERS NOT TO POST ANY NAMES HERE.PREFACEA week ago this investigation was published
Russian Changelly, Atomic Wallet, ChangeNOW, Guarda, Ink.one, Evercode Lab (
for unregistered users)
It tells about the close relationship between these companies.
One of these companies
ChangeNOW, which in my opinion is just a part of Changelly,
is illegally holding my money for several months. At the same time,
I was a customer of Changelly and have whitelisted account there and exchanged hundreds of bitcoins in recent months without any kind of KYC. (it's funny but they gave me whitelisted account after ChangeNOW's scam!) The fact is that
I have 5-year-old crystal clear coins, so it never aroused suspicion from anyone. But their child(ChangeNOW) was too stupid and did not understand this, and decided to clash with bitcoin pioneer.
I turned to Changelly and asked for help. I am absolutely sure that Changelly has absolute power over ChangeNOW. If Changelly demanded to return the money, ChangeNOW would return it. But they ignored me.
Therefore, there was the topic-investigation and comments in many places.
And Changelly began to protect its child:
BACKUPThey began to repeat the same thing as ChangeNOW.
They began to spread the lie that I am engaged in document forgery(a serious crime). Although they know perfectly well that I just sent several JPG files (to absoulutely anonymous people which always advertised themselves as an anonymous service:
Google,
their own topic). There is no country in which JPG file could be a document, so I have the right to send any JPG files. This is not a violation of any law.
My nitpicking may seem ridiculous to you. But it's not so funny when you are accused of forging documents. Most people imagine that I took a real paper passport, re-stitched the photo, changed the text, and so on. But it's not, I just sent JPG file from Google.images to some anonymous site. And no one has the right to blame me for what was not. All they can blame me is that I sent images that they did not like. But they are play by these words to show people that I am a criminal. A self-respecting company can not use such manipulations.
Also
Changelly and Atomic Wallet(another Changelly's child) began to protect ChangeNOW together (agree that only very close companies will do so):
later they got scared, deleted the feedback and began to deny that they left it.
We are wondering how exactly we protect these services and where our so-called feedback was left as none of these actions have ever been done.
They try to explain to people that I'm liar and that feedback screenshot is a fake.
ILLEGAL EXCHANGER CHANGELLYChangelly accuse me of sending fake pictures and screenshots. So let's talk about REAL FAKE.They always say that they are located in
Czech. But this is a lie. Changelly is located in
Russia and is controlled from there.
Let's check a few tweets from Changelly's official twitter

https://web.archive.org/web/20180921083918/https://vk.com/gladkos?2 Yesterday's BACKUP
Is 100 BCH really worth it? Of course, this is worthy of the world-famous service' founder.I tried to find the others, but apparently the names have been changed so much that it is extremely difficult to find them.
Nevertheless, the people listed above are the key persons of the company.
They claim that they are in
Prague. But their real pages indicate that they are in
St. Petersburg.
You see a lot of people in their office. They proudly call themselves a Czech company.
https://twitter.com/gladkos/status/1039511463583342594 BACKUPLet someone turn on the camera, record the office and employees(not a single person, but at least a two-thirds of those who are in the photo including few key persons) and go to Prague's street and record a few cars. I will immediately apologize and remove this topic.
1)Otherwise, I just do not understand how anyone can take this service seriously. They travel around the world, look for partners, pretend to be a Czech company and are represented by fake names.
Just tell me if it's possible to trust the money to such people?
I'm just wondering
what names are indicated on their badges at the conferences. Real names or fake names? It seems to me that a badge is more a document rather than a jgp file.
2)I'm sure that all their customers risk money.Why do these people pretend and change their names?
In Russia, cryptocurrencies do not have a legal status. There is no legislation about this.
Moreover, the authorities's official attitude to cryptocurrencies is extremely ambiguous. Some authorities call for everything to be legitimized. Others require strict punishment of people employed in the crypto business.
A letter from the Central Bank of Russia on the use of private "virtual currencies" (crypto currency)
https://www.cbr.ru/press/pr/?file=04092017_183512if2017-09-04T18_31_05.htm...
Crypto-currencies are issued by an unlimited circle of anonymous entities. Due to the anonymous nature of the issuance of crypto-currency, citizens and legal entities may be involved in illegal activities, including legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime and financing of terrorism.
...
A letter from Russian Federal Tax Service
http://docs.cntd.ru/document/456022863...
In accordance with the information message of Rosfinmonitoring posted on the official website of
www.fedsfm.ru, the use of crypto-currencies in transactions is the basis for considering the issue of classifying such transactions (transactions) as transactions (operations) aimed at legalization (laundering) of proceeds received by a criminal way, and the financing of terrorism.
...
Due to the lack of legislative and judicial practice, the work of cryptoexchange can be attributed to illegal banking. This will depend solely on the considerations of the state investigator or prosecutor. It is worth noting that the application and interpretation of laws in Russia is extremely floating and unstable.
https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3401649...
The Russian Interior Ministry reported on the detention of three people in Kostroma Oblast, who, as stated in the department, "carried out illegal banking activities by using one of the international payment systems and a site for the exchange of bitcoins." They are charged under part 2 of Article 172 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal banking activities committed by an organized group), the maximum penalty for it is seven years of imprisonment.
...
Therefore, it is somewhat dangerous to engage in crypto business in Russia. At a time when your transaction has been delayed for some reason, people in masks can break into the exchanger's office and your money will likely become material evidence for years to come.
You can never be sure that these masked people will not come to them because of illegal banking activities or non-payment of taxes.
It is also worth noting that
in Russia you can not organize a large illegal business without bribes. Therefore, it is likely that some of the proceeds go to corrupt officials. So many of you probably support corruption in Russia.
I do not claim this, I have no proof. I'm just saying that you can not have a big shady business without bribes. Perhaps this company is an exception. I don't know.
PS: For those who think they are from
Belize or
Malta. This is an offshore zone in which you can
absolutely anonymously buy a company. Price for Belize company is about $1000, price for Malta company is about $3000. Such a company does not give you any rights in your own country. I mean, you can not buy a company in Netherlands and then sell drugs from the Arab Emirates. That is, you should always conduct activities in accordance with the laws of your country. Offshore companies are mostly bought to minimize taxes and hide real business owners.
