Last Friday, FinTelegram sent a formal Urgent Notification to the compliance department and board of Paytend Europe UAB, a Lithuanian Electronic Money Institution (EMI). We alerted them to their role in facilitating the illegal operations of the crypto exchange MEXC scheme and demanded an explanation for why their payment rai
As legal walls close in on the unregulated crypto giant MEXC, a damning OSINT investigation and a new $160,000 victim complaint reveal a calculated "exit-scam" strategy. By dissolving corporate anchors in Asia and hiding behind a fragile Estonian license, MEXC is systematically liquidating user accounts while laundering its reputation through European payment processors.
A forensic audit of the fiat-to-crypto infrastructure utilized by the blacklisted crypto exchange MEXC has identified a highly sophisticated, multi-layered payment rail. By nesting Finetix Limited S.R.L. (Romania) within the French electronic money infrastructure of HEURO SAS (formerly Harmoniie SAS), MEXC has successfully constructed a "Red Shield" network to mask high-risk crypto flows.
Investigative forensics have unmasked the sophisticated "shadow rail" powering the Euro-denominated on-ramps for the globally blacklisted exchange MEXC. By deploying a complex layering strategy across Romania and Lithuania, MEXC avoids regulatory scrutiny and banking blocks, utilizing a "ghost" payment gateway that effectively launders the identity of the merchant from the financial system.
FinTelegram has consistently flagged the crypto exchange MEXC, placing it on the Red Compliance List due to multiple regulatory warnings and poor customer feedback. We revealed that MEXC processes its FIAT transactions for cryptocurrency purchases via MEXC Estonia OÜ, which holds a crypto license in Estonia. This Estonian entity, in turn, uses Paytend Europe UAB, d/b/a s Paytend, a Lithuanian-regulated e-money institution, to handle FIAT payments through bank transfers.
FinTelegram has already issued several warnings against the crypto exchange MEXC. The points we criticized have still not been resolved. The website does not provide any information on the operators or regulations. These are essential details whose absence automatically results in a red flag. We found the Lithuanian EMI Paytend to be the payment processor for bank transfers. On Trustpilot, MEXC secured a 1.9-star rating with a poor trust level. Here is our update.
The L7 a/k/a L7 DEX scheme describes itself as a decentralized asset management protocol based on Web3. The website is very secretive and doesn't reveal much more, which is not good for a financial scheme, to say the least. This scheme also operates its own crypto token, L7 (symbol: LSD), which currently has a market capitalization of around $5 million. L7 is a multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme and recently launched its own L7 crypto debit card.
