Call centers who employ people to scam the elderly have nothing to do with this case. eXch didn't scam anyone. It operated as advertised. It was an instant cryptocurrency exchange that anyone could use without going through KYC or AML checks. Who you are and what you do with your money isn't and shouldn't be their concern. If the exchange was used by criminals, then go after those criminals, build your case, and arrest them. The world wasn't unsafe with eXch around and it won't be any safer with them gone.
If you work in a supermarket and a thief comes and buys something, should the police close the market down and arrest the manager and staff because they allowed a criminal to buy his food there? They should not.
No, I didn't say that they should have closed an exch exchange. I said that I'm not surprised big countries are getting strict with regulations and are going full KYC mode. It's very hard to go through criminals because behind the scenes, these scam call centres are under the hood of government officials. When the money goes through no KYC platforms, it's getting very hard for German or Dutch investigators to catch criminals.
I am not against privacy but I think that people aren't ready for that. There are so many accidents of foreigners losing money because of scam centers that it really hurts me to hear that alone.
