Hi. We had to make internal investigations about MajesticBank and we found a lot of funny things from a service insulting all ecosystem actors.

  • MajesticBank told to people in 2022 that he would release an "AtomicSwap gateway" which he never did.

  • MajesticBank has gone dark on dread without explications and some people on dread are saying they got scammed (source)

  • MajesticBank has selective scammed some of his customers during a downtime in 2023 (source)

  • MajesticBank is owing months salary from two of his team members (snitchy & notmtth), he also tried to fail salary paydays and making his team starving during weeks.

  • MajesticBank scammed people in his giveaway (liking a post without paying people). Source

  • MajesticBank is calling other service of "honeypots" when his whole service is using an illegal ddos protection service who's probably wiretapped by FSB.

  • MajesticBank has stolen co-ownership of intercambio from snitchy (he gave it ownership to him and ordered OrangeFren to revert SSH accesses to steal back the service).

There is something here for everyone to open their eyes to... Majestic bank has often been accused of exit scamming, of disappearing, yet they remain offering an acceptable and anonymous service, try and exchange $20 or $2,000 bucks or whatever and decide for yourself. Who is behind the smearing and dodgy information? I can think of a few exchanges and some other groups.

Disgruntled employees exist. Even questionable decisions, but from this to accusing them of being wiretapped (how would you have that information, OP?). It is shameful for tabloid style news to be around when we do need players that push Monero like Majestic and other anon swaps. It seems like you can't be prominent without having some rocks thrown at you.

I dunno. They started out with different owners. It's still fully manual (buy prepaid visa, get it in 24 hours, maybe.)

They once advertised cards that would not be detected as prepaid. Surprise, company I bought it for wouldn't accept a prepaid card, no refund just "sorry for luck maybe try another site?"

Edit I had allark and majesticbank confused.

how OP knows about ddosguard ??

Because if you spam requests by inspecting element, you're triggering ddosguard challenge.

It means ddosguard passively collects requests like cloudflare does and the IP is also tied to ddosguard lease sets.
