PRESS RELEASE (DRAFT – NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION)
Global Money Laundering Operation Tied to Crypto Casino Stake.com Under Investigation
Brisbane, Australia – A multi-year forensic investigation has uncovered a vast and highly structured international money laundering operation using online crypto casinos as its primary vehicle—implicating Stake.com, Roobet.com, and a network of shell companies, nominee directors, and digital asset obfuscation techniques.
The investigation, conducted by strategic intelligence firm 5 Sided Square, spans over 842 verified victims across 21 countries, with financial losses exceeding $50 million AUD. It has traced laundering activity through a constellation of companies linked directly to known operators, with full transactional data, IP logs, and behavioral patterns tying them to crypto inflow from unregulated financial schemes, most notably Metafiyielders.
Key Findings Include:
Detailed tracing of illicit funds through crypto platforms, including confirmed flows through Ethereum-based wallets linked to known scam operations. Additional wallet activity suggests layered movement consistent with laundering tactics.
Corporate infrastructure registered in Cyprus, Australia, and Curaçao, with documented ties to operational staff, financial routing systems, and business entities affiliated with Stake.com. These structures exhibit overlapping control, nominee directorships, and transactional exposure.
Identity-based evidence of central actors within the laundering network, including behavioral fingerprints, account access logs, and shared operational infrastructure between scam funnels and casino platforms.
Delivery of a 150-page forensic report to the senior legal representatives of Stake.com and Easygo Entertainment, including physical service with affidavit. To date, no formal engagement or response has been received.
