Last week DB Investing trumpeted a “strategic partnership” with KYC vendor Sumsub. In reality, adding an off-the-shelf AML tool is hardly headline material; hundreds of brokers do it every day. The publicity blast looked less like real news and more like image-laundering for a man whose broker stable has ping-ponged across regulators, shells and continents for nearly two decades.
OnspotBNK is a black-listed offshore broker and scam active with various legal entities and domains in various jurisdictions. Currently, the website with the new domain Onspotcap.com indicates ONS Financieel Advies & Coaching B.V., registered and licensed in Holland as the owner. We have not found a valid license. The Italien Consob warned against the offshore broker, as did the Alberta Securities Commission in Canada. Stay far away and protect your financial health.
Over the last couple of months, FinTelegram published several reports on the Maltese boiler room operator Capital Solutions Ltd. We very quickly received further information from whistleblowers and partners. The Italian Gennaro Lanza is currently the only remaining beneficial owner after his Italian co-founders Massimiliano Moroni, and Italo Mainolfi sold him their shares. Lanza is connected to several offshore brokers such as Dubai FXM, NewFX, or DB Investing. Evidently, he is operating a vast unauthorized financial business in Malta.
FinTelegram already issued some reports on Maltese boiler room operator Capital Solutions Ltd, controlled by the Italian Gennaro Lanza, and its related offshore brokers such as NewFX, Dubai FXM, DBFX, or DBinvesting. Recently, we exposed a relationship between these schemes and Axi Group and One Financial Markets. Upon our reports, the access to these offshore for EU residents has been blocked but UK residents can still register and trade with them. In our new review, we found new payment processors and other interesting connections. Here is the update!
OnspotBNK is an offshore broker and a scam. OnspotBNK Limited, allegedly regulated by VFSC, would be the operator. However, we have found neither the license number nor the company in the register of the VFSC. Instead, we found that the DubaiFXM and DBFX broker schemes also operated with these license details. The same perpetrators are behind these schemes and many more. Once again, BridgerPay and Jubiter a/k/a CoindDeck came to our attention as payment processors. Stay very far away and protect your money.
