Analysis of HitBTC´s surroundingsAccording to HitBTC´s homepage this cryptoexchange cooperates with two partners: Sequant Capital Ltd and the OTC cryptoexchange TrustedVolumes.com. Both partners have the same address and telephone number in London!
https://hitbtc.com/otchttp://www.sequantcapital.com/https://www.trustedvolumes.com/Before the cooperation with this OTC exchange HitBTC cooperated with the OTC exchange extendeddealer.com operated by AA Brothers OÜ, situated at Tallinn, Estonia. Owner and CEO of this company without homepage, only with email-address, is Oleg Roshchin (Russian name) aka Olegs Roscins (Latvian name), owner and CEO of one of the biggest lawyers offices in Riga/Latvia, only with employees of Russian background: YourLawyers.eu . In his LinkedIn profile this man keeps secrete a lot of company ownerships and CEO positions. Here an overview of his Tallinn-situated companies only. There are some more in UK and offshore places:

This OTC trading platform is now operated by Sequant Capital Ltd. Founder and CEO is the Russian national GEORGY ZARYA, mentioned in the articles behind these links:
https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/brokerage-firm-sequant-capital-partners-crypto-exchange-hitbtc/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-court-fund-idUSKBN19F069I am convinced that Oleg Roshchin has his fingers in this company, too. Definitely he is involved in a company in the surroundings of Sequant Capital, also London-situated Ennerdale Investments Ltd, in which he holds an over 75 % interest and where he acts as a director.
This company is also acting in the small Caribbean offshore nation Saint Kitts and Nevis via Trust Services (Nevis) Ltd.

I suspect that Roshchin privatly serves rich Russian people, private, corporate and – perhaps - also criminals, as a "capital optimizer" aka money launderer. The capital collection company will probably be Livonia Contractor OÜ in Tallinn/Estonia – no homepage, but email-address:
[email protected]. Note the similarity to the web address of his lawyers office:
www.yourlawyers.eu.
And there are some more suspicious issues ...
