A whistleblower dossier claims that FINTEQHUB is operated via Dream Transaction Lda (Portugal) and sits inside the same ownership orbit as the CoinsPaid/CryptoProcessing cluster. We validated core elements: Dream Transaction’s shareholder register includes the same holding vehicles and individuals repeatedly appearing in em; FINTEQHUB, meanwhile, markets itself as “headquartered” in Lithuania.

A breakthrough in the Dream Finance investigation reveals a global retreat. Following the MiCA-triggered blackout in Lithuania, new insider intel and local reports confirm the liquidation of the group’s entities in El Salvador and Poland. From mysterious loans from AlphaPo to UBO links with SoftSwiss, the veil of transparency is finally being lifted on the Dream Finance empire.

Recent whistleblower reports and online investigative publications in January 2026 allege that SoftSwiss, through its Malta-licensed entity Stable Aggregator Limited (MGA/B2B/942/2022), operates as an unlicensed payment hub and money laundering facilitator for affiliated casino operators targeting prohibited jurisdictions. The allegations assert that SoftSwiss processes payments from unlicensed merchants.

An Israeli court has effectively moved the corporate heart of the CoinsPaid/Dream Finance crypto payment processor group conflict out of Tel Aviv and into Vienna arbitration, while ordering both camps to re-plead their mutual “smear campaign” allegations in far greater detail. The ruling reframes the dispute as a dual track: corporate control fight in Austria, defamation dogfight in Israel.

CoinsPaid represents one of the most concerning cases in the crypto payment processing sector, where significant market presence masks extensive compliance violations and potential criminal activity. Operating as the self-proclaimed "#1 crypto payment gateway for iGaming," the Estonia-licensed company processes over €3 billion annually.

A deep-dive investigation by Bavarian broadcaster BR has exposed significant connections between the collapsed Wirecard and Berlin-based SoftSwiss, run by Belarussian national Ivan Montik. The report, part of BR's Gambling without Rules series, highlights SoftSwiss' extensive role in operating illegal online casinos targeting Germany.

A few hours ago, the former CoinsPaid executive Frederic Hubin accused the Estonian-based crypto payment processor CoinsPaid of fraudulent activities in a LinkedIn post directed at the Estonian FIU. As an insider, Hubin’s claims add significant weight to ongoing concerns surrounding CoinsPaid and its affiliated entities, including their ties to SoftSwiss and Austrian-registered A.R. Merkeleon GmbH.

The Russian entrepreneurs Roland Isaev and Paata Gamgoneishvili have secretly emerged as major players in the online gambling and crypto payment processing sectors, with their influence extending through complex business structures in various jurisdictions. FinTelegram's ongoing investigations reveal their involvement with key entities, such as the SoftSwiss and Merkeleon groups, which they appear to control through ownership stakes and strategic acquisitions.

The CoinsPaid operates through a number of legal entities in different jurisdictions. The official beneficial owners are the Austrian Alexander Horst Riedinger and the Ukrainian Max Krupyshev. Most recently, its CryptoProcessing reported that it had processed €2.230 billion in Q3 2024 as the leading crypto payment processor. The CoinsPaid group is at the center of serious accusations that are anonymously made on the web.

Investigative reports published by Shana Dovi on Medium has raised serious allegations against CoinsPaid, an Austrian crypto payment processor operated under Dream Finance OÜ via Estonia. The report outlines a complex scenario of financial misconduct, fraud, and regulatory evasion allegedly orchestrated by the company's management and its shadow stakeholders. Allegedly, the Austrian beneficial owner is only a frontman for the Belarussian people.
