Content Piracy & Brand Hijacking: MEXC’s Systematic IP Theft & The Finetix Fraud!

In a brazen display of lawlessness, the crypto exchange MEXC Global has transitioned from regulatory evasion to active content piracy. Our investigation reveals that MEXC, primarily through its mutated domain mexc.co, has been systematically scraping and republishing FinTelegram’s investigative articles in their entirety without authorization.

By creating a dedicated “Author Page” for FinTelegram (found at mexc.co/en-PH/news/author/fintelegram/306), MEXC is not only infringing on copyright but is performing a strategic Brand Hijack—using our intelligence to lure users into their ecosystem while ignoring all legal cease-and-desist requests.

The “Author 306” Scheme: A New Layer of Deception

The existence of a FinTelegram author profile on a platform we have repeatedly warned against is a calculated move by MEXC to confuse the public and lend a false veneer of “compliance transparency” to their mirror domains.

• The Theft: Every major investigation into the “MiCA Guillotine” and “Shadow Rails” published by FinTelegram is instantly mirrored on MEXC.co.
• The Motive: By republishing critical reports about other high-risk entities, MEXC attempts to position itself as an “educational hub,” distracting users from its own lack of regulatory standing and the warnings issued against it by BaFin, the FCA, and CONSOB.
• The Silence: Formal requests from FinTelegram for the immediate removal of our intellectual property have been met with total silence. MEXC’s support channels refuse to acknowledge the existence of the news aggregator, a classic hallmark of a platform operating outside the reach of international law.

Hidden in Anonymity

The MEXC.co mutated domain has completely scrubbed all information regarding its legal operator from its interface. Unlike the primary mexc.com site—which has historically claimed various offshore registrations (Seychelles, Estonia, or the British Virgin Islands)—the MEXC.co platform provides no legal imprint, no terms of service identifying a corporate entity, and no physical address.

The “Anonymity-as-a-Service” Architecture

The deliberate omission of operator data on MEXC.co is a strategic maneuver designed to create a “legal vacuum.” By operating as a Ghost Platform, MEXC achieves three critical goals for its shadow operations:

1. Evading Cease-and-Desist Orders: Without a named operator, regulators like BaFin or CONSOB struggle to serve formal legal notices directly to the domain.
2. Shielding the Lithuanian Hub: By not mentioning Finetix, UAB on the front-end, MEXC protects its primary European payment rail from being immediately associated with the banned “MEXC” brand by bank compliance automated crawlers.
3. Denying Liability: If a user’s funds are frozen or “lost” on the .co mirror, there is no legal “person” or “corporation” for the user to sue in any jurisdiction.

Forensic Identification: Finetix as the Only “Paper Trail”

While the website remains a ghost, the money trail remains visible. Our investigation confirms that the only identifiable corporate footprint for MEXC.co within the European Union is Finetix, UAB.

• The Link: When a user initiates a deposit on the anonymous MEXC.co site, the payment instructions lead directly to IBAN LT483120010853206016.
• The Reality: That IBAN is legally registered to Finetix, UAB (Vilnius, Lithuania).

In essence, Finetix acts as the “de facto” operator for the fiat-gateways of this ghost platform, providing a regulated Lithuanian face to a completely unregulated and anonymous digital interface.

Investor Warning: Credibility as a Weapon

We urge our readers to be extremely cautious. If you see a FinTelegram article on a MEXC-affiliated domain, it is stolen property. MEXC is using our research into the “dark side” of the industry to camouflage its own shadow operations.

“When an exchange starts stealing the work of the very investigators who expose them, they have entered a terminal phase of ethical bankruptcy,” says a FinTelegram legal representative.
