Amber Gold Sp. z o.o. · Gold investment scheme (unregulated deposit-taking)

Misuse of raised fundsRegulatory breach

The case in brief

Visible before detection

    Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

    1

    Regulatory & litigation records

    Regulator warning lists and prosecutor records would show the unauthorised activity.

    Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

    2

    Document authenticity / direct pull

    Direct checks of the gold held would show whether the stated stock existed.

    Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.

    3

    End-use tracing of funds

    Tracing customer funds would show where deposits went after they were taken.

    Can mislead when: Kubr sees only the company's own accounts. Once money reaches a third party's bank, Kubr can flag the payee but cannot see the next hop without that party's consent.

    Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

    A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
