Pavel Kalashnikau is the beneficial owner, shareholder, and director of the Estonian registered FXCash OÜ, the operator of the Forex rebate service platform FxCash. The idea is that you register on FxCash as a trader, open an account with one of the listed brokers and get back up to 95% of the spread from each trade, a cashback service for Forex. FxCash is mainly used by offshore brokers but, unfortunately, also by broker scams.
FinTelegram published its initial review of the GrandCapital broker scheme in April 2022. We uncovered that GrandCapital and GC Option offshore brokers are controlled by Russian individuals and operated through various offshore entities in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, Seychelles, South Africa, Nigeria, and Namibia. Regulators have already warned against this offshore broker scheme. We have assigned a Red Compliance rating to GrandCapital.
The discovered facts suggest that offshore brokers GrandCapital and GCOption from St. Petersburg in Russia operated through various offshore entities. GrandCapital, which operates illegally without authorization, was accepted as a member of The Financial Commission in 2016. In our initial review, we discovered that the GrandCapital group was also behind the (no longer licensed) Estonian crypto payment processor SerenityPay a/k/a Serenity Financial.
