Licensed Estonian scam-facilitator Woodstock and its payments network
We have recently discovered the licensed Estonian crypto payment processor Woodstock OÜ as a payment processor in the Trade Com scams network with ProfxCredit, FMA Crypto, Coinmond, GlobalSpotFX, Spotfinex, FXonspot, or TopEuroFX. These scams’ victims deposited money through Woodstock‘s bank accounts with Lithuanian financial institutions Finolita Unio UAB, GlobalNetInt UAB, the Maltese Secure Trading Financial Services Limited, and crypto exchanges. Woodstock is controlled by Marianna Charalampous and does not even have a functioning website. Here is the background information.

According to official records,
Cypriot Marianna Charalampous, born in February 1979,
is both a director and the sole beneficial owner.
Woodstock‘s website fmacrypto.com has not been online for months. Nevertheless, the company has been processing payments from scam clients through a network of partners. Woodstock appears to have a link to the Safe Currency crypto exchange (www.safecurrency.com). In Woodstock‘s official KYC documents, several links to Safe Currency, which UK-registered Safe Currency LLP operates, are provided. According to the UK Companies House, the latter’s beneficial owners are the Russian Vladimir Grankin of Russia and the Latvian Aleksandrs Novozenovs.
