We brought an initial review of the XBPrime broker operated by the offshore entity MarketFinancials Ltd, a securities dealer registered by the FSA Seychelles. The truth is that XBPrime is run out of Cyprus via M&N Equity Research Ltd. The offshore entity is said to be owned by Cyprus-registered Proverial Ltd, where Israeli Asher Afriat is registered as a director. This guy also used to be the director of the CySEC-regulated K-DNA Financial Services Ltd, which later became FTX (EU) Ltd.

A few days ago, Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States after billions in liquidity disappeared. Now FTX people are disappearing all over the world. In March 2022, FTX acquired the CySEC-regulated Investment Firm (CIF) K-DNA Financial Services Ltd to establish FTX Europe. Martha Lambrianou has served as CEO of the CySEC-regulated entity since 2017. She became the CEO of FTX Europe (see report). She deleted her LinkedIn profile and vanished.
We didn't have US crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried and his FTX Group on our radar. This crypto brokerage scheme, controlled via offshore entities in Antigua and Barbuda or the Bahamas, recently acquired CySEC-regulated investment firm K-DNA Financial Services Ltd, led by Martha Lambrianou. In March 2022, FTX Group announced the establishment of FTX Europe AG, Switzerland, as a holding company. FTX Group came to our attention via a BaFin warning against the Investorix broker scam mentioning the K-DNA Financial Services Ltd. We would like to learn more!
