We are independent crypto traders focused on providing a simple escrow experience. This page explains the basic safeguards and common-sense checks we apply in our trading activities.
We are not a regulated financial institution or registered exchange. We operate as independent traders and provide escrow assistance on a best-effort basis. While we do not perform formal identity verification or regulatory reporting, we follow basic internal safeguards and reserve the right to refuse any transaction that appears suspicious or unsafe.
Simple rules we follow to try to keep things clean
If something feels off about a transaction—weird amounts, strange patterns, or just a gut feeling—we'll walk away. No transaction is worth the risk.
We notice patterns. Large amounts broken into small pieces, rushed transactions, or people who won't answer simple questions—these raise red flags.
Over time, we build relationships with traders we trust. New people get extra scrutiny. It's not perfect, but it helps filter out bad actors.
Honestly, we could ignore all this and just focus on making money. But we've been in crypto long enough to see how money laundering hurts everyone—it brings unwanted regulatory attention, damages crypto's reputation, and attracts criminals.
We're not trying to be heroes or police. We're just trying to run a simple escrow service that doesn't become part of the problem.
When we facilitate trades, we're putting our own reputation and safety on the line. The last thing we want is to be involved with funds that could get us into trouble.
• Transactions that feel like "structuring" (breaking large amounts into small pieces)
• People who can't explain where their funds came from in simple terms
• Anyone who pressures us to skip our basic checks
• Anything that seems designed to hide the source or destination of funds
Our practical, non-technical approach to avoiding problems
"What's this trade for?" "Have you traded crypto before?" "How did you hear about us?" Not interrogation, just basic conversation that helps us understand who we're dealing with.
Legitimate trades usually make sense—someone buying crypto for investment, sending money to family, or moving between exchanges. Weird patterns (like rapid back-and-forth transfers) make us cautious.
After years of trading, you develop a sense for what feels right and what doesn't. We've seen enough legitimate trades to recognize when something doesn't fit the pattern.
If we're unsure, we say no. It's that simple. We'd rather miss out on a fee than be involved in something that could cause problems later.
To be perfectly clear about our limitations
We do not collect government-issued identification or biometric data. We prioritize privacy while applying basic judgment-based safeguards.
We are not a regulated intermediary or enforcement body. If a transaction raises concerns, we simply choose not to proceed.
We're doing our best based on experience, but we're not AML experts. We can't promise we'll catch everything.
If we're suspicious, we just don't proceed. We don't dig deeper, investigate backgrounds, or try to uncover criminal activity.
We're regular crypto traders trying to provide a useful escrow service without making the money laundering problem worse. We use common sense, pay attention to red flags, and prioritize our own safety and peace of mind.
We strongly oppose money laundering and the harm it causes to the crypto ecosystem.
