Canada fines Cryptomus $126M for failing to report suspicious crypto transactions tied to abuse, fraud, and sanctions.
Canada’s financial intelligence agency, FINTRAC, has fined Cryptomus, operated by Xeltox Enterprises Ltd., a record C$176.9 million ($126.14 million) for failing to report thousands of suspicious transactions linked to child sexual abuse material, fraud, ransomware, and sanctions evasion.
The violations included unreported transactions tied to darknet markets, high-risk transfers from Iran, and virtual currency movements exceeding $10,000, along with weak compliance and customer verification practices.
The penalty, the largest in FINTRAC’s history, reflects heightened regulatory scrutiny of crypto firms amid a surge in enforcement actions, including 23 violation notices in 2024–25.
The company, based in British Columbia, faces challenges in enforcement due to its limited Canadian presence.
