The source, which is ‘tvp.info’ is a government-owned source, according to its Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVP_Info

Here Are Some Takeaways From the Article:

a. “A billion PLN 270 million taken over in March by the CBSP prosecutor’s office is most likely the money belonging to Colombian drug cartels — according to informer tvp.info.”

b. “It is known that the money was on the accounts of two companies from the vicinity of Pruszkow, owned by a Canadian-born Panamanian descent and a Colombian with Panama citizenship. One of these companies was a shareholder of an online cryptocurrency exchange office. Millions of such operations were to flow through a small cooperative bank in Lodz.”

c. Later in the article it states, “While checking the connections of this company [the company that they described as a shareholder of an online cryptocurrency exchange office], investigators came across another company C. At its head stood a man with citizenship of Colombia and panama. This, in turn, the company was associated with a large online cantor exchange of cryptocurrencies.”

d. “Investigators determined that both companies did not actually carry out any economic activity. They were created solely to share your [probably a mistranslation of ‘your’, I think they meant ‘their’] bank accounts with international criminal financial operations.”

Objective Evidence That Bitfinex, CEX.IO and QuadrigaCX Used the Crypto ZO.O.O Bank Account

Before presenting evidence that conclusively identifies the bank account is the one in question in the Polish raid, let’s go ahead and look at the evidence that QuadrigaCX, Bitfinex, and CEX.io (all members of Crypto Capital Co), were all accepting deposits to this bank account.

Evidence That QuadrigaCX Used the Crypto SP ZO.O.O Bank Account

https://www.reddit.com/r/QuadrigaCX/comments/6u162r/quadrigacx_usd_deposit_directs_to_a_different/?utm_content=noscript&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_name=e7d12ed5a4c54fd39cbac4b84d2f63c2&utm_source=embedly&utm_term=6u162r

In the post above, a user notes how they found it odd that QuadrigaCX, a Canadian exchange, would be directing them to deposit their money in a Canadian account.

One reply to the comment gives specific details about Quadriga’s banking

Despite the fact that the source is Reddit, the date of the post adds significant validity to the accuracy. The comment is dated August 16th, 2017, which is well before there were any widespread questions about QuadrigaCX, banking/withdrawal issues, account freezes, and almost a full calendar year before the seizure of the Polish accounts.

The above post was made by a user on the social media site, Reddit, on November 27th, 2017. Again, this was well before the banking issues, CIBC freezing of funds, or the Polish bank raid.

This was posted in the r/QuadrigaCX subreddit, which was created by QuadrigaCX directly.

To add even more validity to the above post, a spokesperson from an official QuadrigaCX account (which moderated the QuadrigaCX subreddit) affirmed the details posted by the user above.

The ‘QuadrigaCX’ moderator account replied to the user’s original post by stating

QuadrigaCX also confirmed this bank account belongs to them here as well

Evidence That Bitfinex Used the Crypto ZO.O.O Owned Bank Account For Deposits

The first, and most credible piece of evidence attesting to the fact that Bitfinex was using this bank account stems from an article published in November 2017 by the publication, ‘Trustnodes’.

https://www.trustnodes.com/2017/11/22/bitfinex-reveals-new-polish-bank-account-panama-registered-company

This, in conjunction with a slew of posts on the internet (in 2017, well before this Polish account was subject to any serious public scrutiny), provide significant, verifiable evidence that Bitfinex was also using this account.

The article also contains a screenshot of bank wire information being given to a Bitfinex customer that shows this bank account as well. So, the evidence is more than definitive here.

Evidence That CEX.io Used the Crypto ZO.O.O Owned Bank Account For Deposits

In the same article published by Trustnodes, there is an actual screenshot of the Crypto SP ZO.O.O bank account information being displayed directly on CEX.io’s website.

Evidence Tying the Crypto SP ZO.O.O Bank Account to the Polish Raid

Upon first look, it seems like the connection being made between this bank account and the Polish bank account is speculative.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes immediately clear that this could not be further from the truth.

While the TVP report did not explicitly cite the company’s name, there is enough evidence to make a definitive connection.

Examining Crypto SP ZO.O.O

In order to gain more insight into the company that opened up this bank account in Poland, records were obtained by the author (ME!) from Poland.

The obtained document is uploaded above.

The owner of the company is listed as ‘Ivan Manuel Molina Lee’.

Independent research conducted by Bloomberg confirmed that ‘Ivan Manuel Molina Lee’ is a Canadian.

Crypto Capital Co. holds 99% of all shares in Crypto SP ZO.O.O per the report obtained from Poland on the company

Corporate records show that Ivan Manuel Molina Lee is also director of Crypto Capital Co. in Panama.

Pause for a second - just to say I am going off right now.

Business records from Poland, corporate governance records, research from Bloomberg, etc.

This isn't 'internet sleuthing' here unless you consider these sources to be bogus.

Let's continue.

Examining the Bank Account Specifically

The bank details for the Polish bank account owned by Crypto SP ZO.O.O are as follows:

Bank Name: Bank Spoldzielczy w Skierniewicach Address: ul.Reymonta 25, Skierniewice 96–100, Poland Swift code: poluplpr

There are a few facts that we can confirm about this bank, which are:

* The bank is a ‘Cooperative Bank’.

* The bank was managing less than $10 million worth in assets before Bitfinex, QuadrigaCX, and CEX.io all began banking there.

* The bank is located in ‘Lodz’ = ‘Lodzkowski’.

Comparing What We Know With the Polish Media Report (Government-Owned Source)

Below, is a list of facts that allow us to be almost certain that the bank account that was raided in Poland was CRYPTO SP ZO.O.O:

1. The Polish report stated that the account was owned by a company headed that starts with ‘C’. Crypto SP ZO.O.O. starts with a ‘C’ (in both Polish and English).

2. The Polish report stated that the company that held the account at the bank was headed by someone with Canadian and Panamanian citizenship. We know that Ivan Manuel Molina Lee, the head of Crypto Capital Co., was a Canadian with Panamanian citizenship, per the Bloomberg report.

3. The Polish report determined that the bank in question that was raided was a small cooperative bank. We know that ‘ Bank Spółdzielczy w Skierniewicach’ was a small cooperative bank.

4. The Polish report stated that the bank was a small cooperative bank in Lodz, specifically. Using the confirmed banking information for the Polish bank that Bitfinex, CEX.io, and QuadrigaCX had customers deposit money to, we can confirm the bank was in this location as well. This information can be verified at this link: https://www.bisnode.pl/firma/?id=712240&nazwa=BANK_SPOLDZIELCZY_W_SKIERNIEWICACH. The specific location of the bank was “Ul. Reymonta 25 96–100 Skierniewice, województwo ŁÓDZKIE”. Google Map results place it within the vicinity of Pruszkow as well.

5. The Polish report states that the account was related specifically to cryptocurrency. There is no doubt that Crypto SP ZO.O.O is absolutely related to cryptocurrency (we’ve confirmed all Crypto Capital Co. related exchanges were depositing money there).

Additional Information:

Crypto SP ZO.O was founded in September of 2016. There are no financial records for the company as they have never filed any. They sold 99% of their shares to Crypto Capital Co. for 9000 PLN, which amounts to roughly $1.7k. The town/area that the bank account is located in houses roughly 10k-15k people, which qualifies it as a meager village.
