QuadrigaCX Under Investigation By At Least Four Law Enforcement And Regulatory Agencies
The agencies involved in the ongoing investigation include the FBI, an Australian investigative agency, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). There also seem to be another investigation, however, the agency behind it is yet to be disclosed.
Kinsman wrote that:
“The Trustee is aware of at least four (4) independent active law enforcement or regulatory reviews in progress which have included inquiries or in some cases formal requests for documents and/or data disclosure from the Trustee,”
“Other agency requests may subsequently materialize.” he continued.
However, one of these requests is under the confidentiality clause which means that Kinsman cannot reveal any further information regarding the matter. Statutory restrictions might also apply.
Also, Kinsman expects law enforcement and regulatory agencies to continue their findings, he revealed that their “demands may be significant,”
He added that:
“Furthermore, as a result of the confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions inherent in these processes, the Trustee is unable to share details with and obtain approval of its activities from the Inspectors and therefore will require an ongoing direction from a court. In addition, given the complexity of the requests made or anticipated to be made of the Trustee, it is expected that multiple court attendances will be required to obtain assistance with these issues and provide direction to the Trustee.”
