Fraudster becomes owner of cryptocurrency exchange WEX

The scandal-ridden cryptocurrency exchange WEX recently changed hands. The new owner is fraudster Dmitry Khavchenko, who was placed on the wanted list in Ukraine back in 2012. The agreement transferring the rights was signed on 21 July.

Khavchenko is known not only for his criminal activities but also for his love of Russia and hatred of Ukraine.

Former exchange head Dmitry Vasiliev claims that he handed the exchange over to separatist Khavchenko for free. Although it was initially allegedly a matter of a purchase. He is now speaking of a hostile takeover.

Users, however, are convinced that the management simply shifted all obligations onto a third party by re-registering the problematic asset.

The exchange has had problems for a long time. Users have repeatedly complained that they could not withdraw their funds. So it is most likely that there was no hostile takeover at all. The exchange was simply another scam project.
