FCA-regulated EMI MoneyNetInt was one of the big payment processors for the fraudulent binary options industry that defrauded hundreds of thousands of people out of tens of billions of dollars between 2010 and 2018. We exposed Israeli-controlled MoneyNetInt and its affiliated GlobalNetInt as payment facilitators in many scams. Consequently, in June 2021, the FCA announced that MoneyNetInt voluntarily stopped acquiring new customers temporarily in June 2021.
Whistleblowers provided documents proving that Lithuanian registered e-money institution (EMI) GlobalNetint UAB is involved in numerous scams as a payment processor. This is for example extensively documented in the "Maxigrid Case" with the associated scams RoyalsFX and LincolnFX. The CySEC-regulated Maxigrid itself has processed payments from victims of scams via its bank accounts with GlobalNetint.
