MEXC Global Limited is a cryptocurrency exchange platform based in the Republic of Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. Founded in 2018, MEXC has grown to more than 10 million users in 170 countries. Its servers are hosted independently across many different countries to help ensure data integrity and increase security.
MEXC Global works with law enforcement offices in the United States to help them seize assets for civil asset forfeiture proceedings when it suits them. Federal agents meet with MEXC Global employees to share intelligence and develop anti-money laundering policies.
With an appropriate request, MEXC Global might provide law enforcement officers in the United States with information about its customers, which might include Excel spreadsheet with OTC Payment, KYC documents, approved devices, access logs, fiat withdraw history, fiat deposit history, order history, current assets & wallet, customer information, withdrawal history, deposit history, and account balance.
Other platforms, including Binance, Cryto.com, Coinbase.com, and Crypto.com, have similar policies when cooperating with criminal and civil asset forfeiture investigations. The authorities in the United States, at a federal, state, or local level, might obtain a court-authorized seizure warrant to seize cryptocurrency from MEXC accounts.
The search warrant might allege the cryptocurrencies in the MEXC accounts were used:
- a fraudster using a scam;;
- a sophisticated global internet cryptocurrency fraud and conversion scheme;
- by a Money Laundering Organization (MLO) to transmit the proceeds of international drug trafficking; or
- to facilitate unlicensed money transmitting through cryptocurrency transactions.
The complaint might allege that at least one of the financial accounts involved and utilized was located in the jurisdiction where the complaint was filed. Read more about the Bitcoin seizures for forfeiture.
