Topic: Unmasking BTC-E.com - page 3. (Read 6751 times)

These boards are littered with examples of people sending money to BTC-e.com and it going missing. Just because you have not had problems does not mean they are not a huge risk to everyone.

Thanks for the info, however thats why I was searching for someone that has sent a wire via Mayzus in the past. UK law requires the records be kept for 7 years, and UK data protection law requires the full info to be revealed on request.

It's also a great way to:

a) Support criminal activities like money laundering.

b) Avoid paying taxes

c) Steal your clients money

d) Avoid being answerable for anything


No credible financial organisation in the civilized world is allowed to be run this way, and for very good reason. So why is the world allowing BTC-e.com get away with this? If you post embarassing questions like 'Who are you?' on their forum here, they get deleted!  So i'm going to make it my mission to unmask them, anyone who wants to help, please PM me so we can organise.

Their continued existance in this form constitutes a HUGE threat to bitcoin, as we would very likely not recover from ANOTHER mt.Gox, so I would ask all bitcoin fans to support me in this.

BTC-E changed the deposit account for wire. The Mayzus Financial Services bank account is no longer in UK now.

Here is the info of the new bank account. This bank account is exactly the same as the bank account used by OKPAY to receive wire.

Staying anon is a good way not get targeted for blackmailed or robbed.

Why try and hunt them down?  BTC-e is the only exchange I half way trust these days.  I have used them for a few years now and NEVER an issue with them.

I thought BTC-e was a trustworthy exchange? I've heard good reviews about them. The site owners prefer to stay anonymous, don't they?

Can you add something to this? help us out please.

  g) Their website offers no API for bitcoin withdrawal, a service that every other exchange provides! Huge red flag!
  h) Their website has "Copyright © 2011-2014 BTC-e.com." but since there are no company registration details, this is legally invalid.
  i)  They are using the following Mazzars Financial services bank account:

    j) They only tell you about their 0.2% trading fee when you join, but their withdrawl fee's can be up to 10%!!

    k) The following bitcointalk users claim to have lost (missing transfers) or had stolen (unauthorised transfers) money at BTC-e.com:
                         legster                    $1000.
                         EvilLizardApparel       8565 LTC
                         bradmurmz             BTC200
                         libertysilver             BTC4.77 + 526 PPC + 306 LTC

                         redmist                      108.5335 LTC

       l) None of the 'terms and conditions' you agree to when you join are binding either way, because they do not name the legal party!.

       m) They trade on their own site, this gives their own arbitrage bots an unfair advantage over over public, as trading without fee's at faster access
           effectively corners the market.

        n) In february the website released a statement, which amongst other claims said: "The company plans to soon begin to publish publicly available statements certified by external auditors. " This has of course turned out to be a lie.



RUMOURS TO DATE:

  a) They are owned and run by Russians.
  b) The company is Bulgarian
  c)  Servers probably in London
  d) Probably where most stolen bitcoin are traded due to absense of Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.
  e) Used by some parties for bitcoin price manipulation.



What you can do:

a ) Is there a UK resident out there that has paid money into BTC-e.com via Mayzus Financial Services Ltd?? If so, could you consider sending a standard Data Protection "Subject Access Request" to Mayzus for yourself. This should reveal details of BTC-e that so many people are searching for. And if it doesn't, then Mayzus are breaching UK anti money laundering laws.

b) Anything else you know? publish it here.

c) If you have money or crypto stock with them, protect yourself and get it out now. There has to be a reasonable chance that they are fraudulent and
   just the process of unmasking them may cause them to run with your money. So you have been warned!
