Criptomy is a Lithuanian crypto exchange. Established in 2022 with a capital of €125,000, the company lists Mariana Achim as its sole director. Our web traffic analysis reveals a significant Italian connection and unusual traffic patterns. Criptomy has also been identified as a payment agent for the illegal online casino and gambling platform Atlantis Slots. Criptomy seems to be part of the Continent Pay Network. We would like to learn more from whistleblowers.

The Criptomy Findings

The Referring Websites

As part of our comprehensive reviews of financial service providers, we conduct detailed analyses of their web traffic to gain insights into their customers and partners. Our examination of Criptomy UAB‘s web traffic has revealed some anomalies. Specifically, the incoming traffic originates from websites like Webmaster.org, Webuilder.info, and cruiserx.net, which lack payment or crypto functionalities but have notable Italian connections.

Interestingly, these are the very same websites that also direct visitors to the illegal gambling sites MEGAGAMER and Flame Game. This strange traffic raises questions about the legitimacy and purpose of these connections.

Crypto Payment Facilitator

In our investigation into the payment processors supporting the unauthorized Atlantis Slots online casino and gambling scheme, we identified Criptomy UAB as the payment agent responsible for processing deposits via Binance Pay (as illustrated in the attached screenshot).

The Polish payment processor Continent Pay functions as the cashier for Atlantis Slots, integrating Binance Pay into their payment system. Consequently, deposits made by players at Atlantis Slots via Binance Pay are channeled into Criptomy‘s wallets. This strongly suggests that Criptomy is facilitating the illegal activities of the Atlantis Slots scheme.

The Other Connections

Mariana Achim, the director of Criptomy, is believed to be a Romanian citizen. She is also listed as the director of Zenium Consulting Ltd in the UK, a digital marketing agency that operates the unauthorized online gaming sites Flame Game (https://flamegame.eu) and MEGAGAMER (https://megagamer.org).

At Flame Game and MEGAGAMER, players must purchase site-specific coins to play. The seller of the coins is Zenium Consulting Ltd (screenshot left). This UK entity, headed by Mariana Achim, is also one of the payment agents of Atlantis Slots.

The coin purchase process involves Continent Pay as the cashier and payment processor, linking back to the Atlantis Slots operation and the Continent Pay Network. Allegedly, Continent Pay is a payment processor controlled by the notorious cybercriminal Gery Shalon.
