Garantex, a Russian crypto exchange, is embroiled in severe legal trouble as Tether froze its wallets containing $28 million, coinciding with a U.S. law enforcement operation that seized the exchange's websites. Subsequently, the U.S. Justice Department charged two administrators for enabling money laundering. In an attempt to regain customer trust, Garantex invited clients with positive balances to personal meetings in Moscow, although it failed to explicitly mention the ongoing investigations or charges, raising concerns about transparency and operational integrity amidst such turmoil.
Garantex is facing significant operational challenges after Tether blocked its wallets and U.S. authorities seized its websites, effectively freezing its access to funds.
U.S. Justice Department declared Garantex's administrators accused of facilitating money laundering for cybercriminals, leading to the freezing of over $26 million in their digital assets.
Despite ongoing legal troubles, Garantex has invited customers to personal meetings in Moscow to address blocked funds; however, detailed acknowledgment of the situation remains absent.
The company's operational strategy amidst legal issues includes soliciting customers for face-to-face discussions without any explicit reference to the criminal charges they are facing.
