SHOCKING REVELATION: CYSEC'S BLIND EYE TO MASSIVE FRAUD?
A 900-page indictment lost police files and whistleblower alerts, yet @CySEC_official slaps Pruden Ventures with a slap on the wrist! From QBF to Constance, the fraud trail is clear, but what are @CySEC_official's penalties? A measly €20,000 for record-keeping while ignoring a Russian indictment's stark allegations.
Timeline of Inaction:
- 2021-2022: Whistleblowers cry foul, but files vanish into thin air!
- 2024: TFACF demands answers through FOI, @CySEC_official plays dumb!
Are we looking at incompetence or a cover-up? With Cyprus's financial reputation on the line, @FairAndCorrect calls for transparency, an @ESMAComms audit, and absolute whistleblower protection.
Stay tuned; next week, the FOI release could blow the lid off @CySEC_official oversight - or lack thereof!
For more, hit up @FairAndCorrect at [email protected]. You won't believe what's coming next!

.......
[15.01.2018, 15:28:04] Apollo: Guys i will be in Moscow on Thursday. On Wednesday we deliver our answer to the latest request. We can speak more in person there
[15.01.2018, 15:28:05] Linda: no image available
[15.01.2018, 15:34:03] Linda: no image available
[15.01.2018, 15:34:03] Linda: no image available
[15.01.2018, 18:27:22] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : What of the papers can we show our ?
.......
[15.01.2018, 18:31:24] Linda: You can show the second one too but you have to have Apolo ask Haris because if he showed those letters to anyone it's a coal case and it says so there.
15.01.2018, 18:31:54] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Yes and there in Greek
[15.01.2018, 18:32:07] Linda: But Apo and I liked the accusations you write about Cyprus))
[15.01.2018, 18:32:25] Linda: You can do a translation of the letter from Greek
[15.01.2018, 18:46:05] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Where are the charges ?
[15.01.2018, 19:20:32] Linda: Vova enough. I think Apo is right and we will all talk in person. When you write what you wrote above one should also understand what you are saying. You're throwing around accusations that there were no letters. Once again, there have been letters. And as long as we have fun here and don't find out who's writing them, they'll continue to be written.
There are letters it was confirmed by people in the regulator.
Also, the questions now are.
1 you said your people got a response from our regulator.
2 trv said that he solved the issue and there will be no more letters. There are letters. We can go the other way, Haris will answer everything about the company, and then we will see what happens and if the case goes to court we will find out exactly whether there were letters or not.
...........................
15.01.2018, 19:40:07] Linda: It is impossible. Such letters can not write such letters lef employees. This is a serious accusation by the Central Bank to the individual and to the company , our regulator can not just write such letters to Haris. They can't just write from a torch.
Those letters are there. Let them look at other systems. They're there. Talk to your general manager, he told me he found the person who wrote the letters, it was afer the first two letters. There are letters.
[15.01.2018, 19:43:04] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : This could easily be Stepanov's person. I said how many people can send these letters. About the level of corruption in Russia I think it is not worth telling. It could also be a competitor. There are a - lot of options.
[15.01.2018, 19:43:54] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : And without an outgoing number, I have a hard time finding it
[15.01.2018, 19:45:14] Linda: Vova hear me. This can only be written by people with access to the internal system that is between regulators. This is not Stepanov and not competitors these are official requests.
[15.01.2018, 19:45:28] +7 965 - 748888888 - : Fuck - yeah.
[15.01.2018, 19:45:31] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Turn on your brain
[15.01.2018, 19:45:45] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : 5000 people - have this access
[15.01.2018, 19:45:55] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Stepanov could have paid anyone
[15.01.2018, 19:46:01] +7 965 - 748888888 - : Or any competitor
[15.01.2018, 19:46:18] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : This is not fucking Cyprus where three disabled - people have access
[15.01.2018, 19:47:41] +7 965 - 748888888 - : Hear me out
[15.01.2018, 19:47:53] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : There is no - letter on the official list
[15.01.2018, 19:48:08] Linda: What the fuck anyone! Do you realise what you're saying?
If the case isn't closed it goes to court, and fuck it, they're going to take her down from the position that they're accepting letters from some fake people and launching an investigation into the company.
[15.01.2018, 19:48:39] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : How does she know who writes her letters ?
[15.01.2018, 19:49:09] Linda: What the fuck did your people say they got a response from the regulator then????
[15.01.2018, 19:50:22] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : This was confirmed not by my people.
[15.01.2018, 19:50:28] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : These can't see the emails
[15.01.2018, 19:50:37] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Do you realise how confusing it is ?
[15.01.2018, 19:50:49] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : And how the fuck did you answer me - there
[15.01.2018, 19:50:52] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Change - your tone of voice
[15.01.2018, 19:51:03] Linda: Whose?! You told me yourself! The letter received a reply norm.
[15.01.2018, 19:51:07] Linda: Tone!
[15.01.2018, 19:51:15] Linda: You haven't composed Apolo's tone yet!
[15.01.2018, 19:51:29] Linda: You wrote such a thing to us!
[15.01.2018, 19:52:22] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : I don't give a fuck about tone.
[15.01.2018, 19:54:18] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Apo is definitely not hysterical and knows how to deal with issues calmly
[15.01.2018, 20:00:26] Linda: I see. Now listen calmly. The letters are official and you have to find who's writing them. Otherwise they will keep sending them.
Here, you tell me why you told me that your people said the regulator's response was OK and there would be no more letters.
[15.01.2018, 20:03:50] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Linda, I am not arguing about the presence of letters, I say that no one has seen them, officially they are not written, they are not in the register, but it does not exclude that they can be written illegally by employees of the Central Bank.
[15.01.2018, 20:04:03] +7 965 - 748888888 - : This is Russia
[15.01.2018, 20:04:42] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : Especially as you know we have already received letters from the fsb from Zelim - 's people.
[15.01.2018, 20:08:42] Linda: Our regulator can't be sent letters by some lefist, just a Central Bank employee.
I know that in August, when the first letter was sent, they immediately replied that the Central Bank should go to the woods. Then the letters started, with an interval of a month, the one who writes knows that it is necessary to reply to the regulator within a month.
[15.01.2018, 20:08:56] Linda: I also know what the exchange control was involved in.
[15.01.2018, 20:08:58] Linda: Yours
[15.01.2018, 20:10:06] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : How ?
[15.01.2018, 20:14:48] Linda: How? This department and mentioned in the first letters, back in August. That's where the 180kk amount came from
[15.01.2018, 20:15:10] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : And then what department ?
[15.01.2018, 20:20:52] Linda: On the internal communication system between regulators. They've always come by it. It's just that the first letter mentioned exchange controls.
[15.01.2018, 20:22:20] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : There is no way to get the letter at all ?
[15.01.2018, 20:31:15] Linda: If I could I would get it. I've got it all out , dates, content, but what do I say now I don't even know. Like, we said that the Central Bank would write you an answer that the issue is closed, and now I. say, you know, they
tell me that the Central Bank did not write you an official letter. I know, from what you and Zelimkhan told me.
1. My question was solved by Vova's men
2 The letters your people said they received
[15.01.2018, 20:31:30] Linda: I know for a fact the first request was 17 pages long
[15.01.2018, 20:32:18] Linda: Everything has been carried since August.
[15.01.2018, 20:32:24] Linda: It has begun
[15.01.2018, 20:34:12] +7 965 - 74888888888 - : And what is the difficulty in getting the letters ?
[15.01.2018, 20:36:18] Linda: They don't give them to me, and no one will take pictures of them either. I can get their letters. But the kind of letters like official investigations from another regulator won't give them to me. I don't know how else to explain it anymore.
[15.01.2018, 20:37:10] Linda: I know what we're going to get written.
[15.01.2018, 20:38:20] Linda: I know roughly what our regulator can and will do, we have been warned
[15.01.2018, 20:38:35] Linda: We have an election in January and this hype is unnecessary
We face a dire situation when institutions and bodies are meant to protect us and ensure law and order exist only to cover their personal interests, negligence, and incompetence. The following Cyprus officials (@AnastasiadesCY, @CYpresidency, @Cyprus_Police, @CySEC_official, @Theocharides_G, @LawOfficeCY, @SavvidesGL, @AngelidesSavvas, @MoF_Cyprus) are allowing this to continue:
Cyprus is failing its citizens and its EU obligations by allowing corruption to thrive unchecked, as shown by these publicly available documents:
Protocol of examination of items and documents seized ................... in the premises occupied by the branch office of NOA Circle in Moscow ......................in the course of which the seized items relevant to the criminal case were examined, including:
................
- the seal of Constance Investment LTD ("Constance Investment LTD", registration number HE 333743);
.......................
- the nominee position of director in "NOA" held by Zelimkhan, as well as the latter's answers to the authorities (presumably the internal affairs authorities);
..............................................
- the transfer of cash in foreign currency, as well as the transfer of all funds in foreign currencies to the accounts of Athanasiadou Linda or to the accounts she will indicate;
.......................
- the problem of non-payment for the service fees for nominee directors for opening a bank account for a foreign offshore company established for the criminal operations company by NOA Circle named- "Lamera".
........................
In addition, during the examination of the seized phone of A.V. Nepomnyashchy, correspondence with the user name "Apollon Athanasiades" "+35796218890, and the subscriber number +7 - 985 -303 - 06 - 70" was found. During the inspection and analysis of this correspondence, it was found that the subscribers discuss, among other things:
......................
- Operation by NOA Circle of various companies in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, Israel, United Kingdom, Hong Kong SAR China and Latvia.
.......................
- the possibility of cashing money in Crimea and the amount of interest for this service;
.......................
- the possibility of opening bank accounts for offshore organisations in foreign countries with less regulatory supervision;
.......................
- the possibility of registering funds in the Cayman Islands under CIMA supervision managed in Cyprus by NOA Circle and funds in Cyprus under CYSEC supervision for offshore organisations bypassing financial regulations and compliance requirements;
.......................
- the maintenance and servicing by NOA Circle in Cyprus of various offshore companies (in cheaper jurisdictions) to disguise the origin of funds and bypass national restrictions.
.................................
In the course of the inspection, other correspondence was found, as listed in the inspection report, which is of significance and establishes the circumstances of the criminal case yet to be published pending completion of the criminal court proceedings (Vol. No. 148, pp. 98 - 233, Vol. No. 149, pp. 1 - 242)
Despite repeated notifications to these organizations about these crimes, no actions have been taken. Reporting files were lost, and even those who reported the crimes were arrested on false charges, which were eventually proven untrue. Yet, nobody has investigated the issues they reported.

Demand accountability and justice.
Uncovering Systemic Failures: The Case of the Financial Ombudsman Service
In the United Kingdom, recent scandals like the Post Office Paymasters and the Tainted Blood incidents have highlighted systemic failures in public institutions, causing significant harm to individuals. These cases reveal broader issues in systems designed to protect the public yet inherently flawed and opaque. One such institution is the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Established to resolve disputes between consumers and financial institutions, the FOS has instead become a source of widespread consumer dissatisfaction due to incompetence, bias, and lack of transparency. Despite exposure to these issues and calls for reform, the situation has worsened, necessitating urgent attention to restore public trust.
The Role and Purpose of the Financial Ombudsman Service
The FOS was created as an independent body to mediate disputes between consumers and financial businesses, aiming to provide a fair, impartial, and cost-free alternative to legal proceedings. It operates under the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) governance, with funding from levies and case fees paid by financial institutions. This structure is intended to maintain independence and impartiality, but the FOS has faced criticism for its perceived bias and failure to protect consumer rights effectively.
Systemic Failures and Consumer Dissatisfaction
The FOS has been plagued by systemic issues, including incompetence and a lack of expertise among case handlers. These issues lead to mishandled complaints and a perception of bias favoring financial institutions. Consumers report that the FOS often sides with financial firms, even when evidence supports the consumer's claims. Additionally, the lack of transparency and accountability in the FOS's decision-making processes has further eroded public trust.
Aggravating Issues Since 2018
Following the 2018 Channel Four Dispatches documentary that exposed deficiencies in the FOS, the situation has not improved. Case handlers still lack expertise, and the FOS remains reluctant to revisit decisions even when new evidence emerges. Specific cases, such as Professor Kelly's experience with fraud, highlight the FOS's inconsistency and refusal to act impartially. The FOS's failure to recognize and report fraudulent activities exacerbates these issues, suggesting a systemic failure requiring urgent reform.
The Impact of Leaked Documents and Misuse of Data Protection
Leaked documents have revealed the FOS's reliance on fraudulent information from financial firms, resulting in unjust outcomes for consumers. The FOS has misused data protection laws to avoid scrutiny, withholding critical information that would expose its failures. This lack of transparency undermines public trust and raises concerns about the FOS's commitment to fairness and accountability.
Conflicts of Interest and Neglecting Regulatory Findings
The FOS's reliance on financial institutions' funding model raises concerns about conflicts of interest. Biased decisions influenced by unverified claims from financial firms exemplify this issue. Additionally, the FOS's failure to consider findings from other regulatory bodies like the FCA further undermines its credibility and effectiveness. A comprehensive review of the FOS's operations and funding model is necessary to eliminate biases and restore trust.
A Call for Reform and Government Action
The FOS's systemic failures demand urgent and comprehensive reform. The government must initiate a thorough review of the FOS's operations, funding model, and decision-making processes to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness. The FOS can be restructured by addressing these issues to genuinely serve consumers' interests and uphold justice in financial dispute resolution. The urgency of this situation requires immediate action to prevent further harm and restore public trust in financial oversight mechanisms.
