02. Initial Report on Axis Mundi Global Custody Ltd (AXIS), Formerly London Block Exchange (LBX) - 🔍 Transparency is key in these matters. 🚨
Axis Mundi Global Custody Ltd (AXIS), formerly known as London Block Exchange (LBX), has been under intense scrutiny from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) since late 2020. This came to the forefront with the recent leak of key documents, including an enforcement submissions document and the First Supervisory Notice.
Key Findings from the Data Leak:
Regulatory Non-Compliance:
AXIS/LBX's failure to adhere to crucial financial regulations, particularly in managing client funds and maintaining accurate records, has been exposed through the leaked documents.
Financial Mismanagement and Potential Fraud:
The company displayed severe mismanagement, highlighted by discrepancies in handling client funds and failure to segregate these funds. The First Supervisory Notice issued in 2020 emphasised the severity of these concerns.
Evidence of Complex Fraud:
Further leaks, including internal emails and police reports, have surfaced, adding layers to the complexity of the fraud allegedly orchestrated by Dives. These leaks paint a picture of deception, with Dives accused of fabricating claims intended to damage, discredit, and financially harm his victims and obstruct their efforts to seek justice.
Manipulative Actions to Obstruct Justice:
The documents indicate that Dives employed complex and manipulative strategies to mislead investigative bodies, diverting attention from his actions, transforming allegations to implicate his victims, effectively reversing the focus from himself. His actions suggest an intent not only to defraud and misappropriate assets from victims but also to prevent them from accessing legal recourse.
Complicity of Professionals in London:
Various corrupt and greedy professionals in London assisted Mr. Dives in these actions. Their involvement was instrumental in closing pending investigations and facilitating his fraudulent activities, suggesting a broader network of collaboration and ethical breaches in the professional community.
Misuse of Client Funds for Personal Gain
As revealed in the leaked documents, a particularly egregious aspect of Mr Dives' misconduct is the misuse of client funds. Evidence suggests that Mr. Dives frequently diverted funds entrusted to LBX for personal use. This included funding his business ventures, paying personal salaries, covering holiday expenses, and settling personal bills. Alarmingly, these actions were often masked under the guise of 'AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance' and other regulatory excuses, ostensibly to justify the misappropriation of these funds.
Implications for Victims
The allegations and evidence presented in the case of LBX have had far-reaching implications, inflicting significant damage on numerous victims. Many individuals have suffered not only financial losses but also emotional and psychological distress due to these fraudulent activities. This case is a stark reminder of the devastating impact that financial crimes can have on everyday people, shaking their trust in the financial system.
