Public Statement 2 of 2021 - CRYPTOCENT.LIVE (2021-01-25)

Summary

This is a public warning notice issued by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC) about an entity called CRYPTOCENT.LIVE. The FSC states that CRYPTOCENT.LIVE has been circulating a forged investment business licence and falsely claiming to be authorised and licensed by the FSC to carry out investment business by dealing in investments.

• Not licensed: CRYPTOCENT.LIVE is not and has never been licensed or regulated by the FSC to carry on investment business or any other financial services business in or from within the BVI.
• Forged document: The entity is circulating a forged investment business licence purporting to show FSC authorisation.
• Public advisory: Members of the public are advised to exercise extreme caution if solicited by CRYPTOCENT.LIVE.
• Reporting invited: The public is invited to report to the FSC any relevant information on questionable entities or improper activities operating in or from the Territory.
• Legal basis: The statement is issued pursuant to Section 37A of the Financial Services Commission Act, 2001.

This notice is informational and warns the public rather than imposing compliance obligations on regulated entities; it does not create ongoing duties for licensees.

Applies to
