Estonian crypto payment processor and scam facilitator Zichain vanished!

Between 2017 and 2020, thousands of crypto licenses have been issued in Estonia for the operation of exchanges and wallet (payment) services. Estonia has become the mecca of the crypto payment industry in the EU. Many of the new entrants have positioned themselves primarily as facilitators of illegal transactions and scams. In the last 12 months, hundreds of these new crypto providers have disappeared. In some cases, the FIU revoked their licenses or did not renew them. Zichain OÜ still has its license but has disappeared anyway.

The Insta Trading scam facilitated by BridgerPay and Zichain

Spanish CNMV has issued an investor warning against the Insta Trading scam allegedly operated by the Bulgarian Alcatel Group Ltd and/or Protiviti Group Ltd and/or Protiviti International EOOD are also involved as operators. These are fake companies. As payment processors, we have once again identified BridgerPay Cashier and, behind it, the crypto exchange Zichain OÜ and its Rashbe crypto service.
