Millions of dollars tied to fraudulent activities, such as crypto scams and pig-butchering schemes, were <a href="https://protos.com/us-seizes-pig-butchering-funds-at-evolve-bank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">seized</a> at Evolve Bank and Trust. This was revealed in a loss complaint filed in January and reviewed by Fintech Business Weekly.
The complaint alleges that entities such as Parallel Design Limited, Gatcha Pictures Limited, and Bytechip LLC were involved in an interconnected scheme facilitating money laundering services. A US Secret Service agent stated in a filing that a group of 26 Chinese nationals, living in California, New York, and China, allegedly funded several services through fraudulent activities. The group is accused of&nbsp; organizing fraud scams.
Evolve Bank and Trust, known for its Banking as a Service (BaaS) products, provided services to firms like Bytechip LLC, which allegedly facilitated fraudulent activities for its clients. Bytechip, in turn, had contracted with entities like Solid, utilizing virtual bank accounts held with Evolve. However, Evolve eventually froze the funds associated with ByteChip and others due to unsatisfactory banking practices.
An investigator for Evolve estimated the total exposure to be more than $15 million in virtual accounts. Evolve Bank and Trust made it clear that they don’t deal with cryptocurrencies and were in the process of ending their connections with entities like FTX when they filed for bankruptcy. They denied any involvement in lending or investing in cryptocurrencies.
