The Seychelles-based company was penalized for failing to register as a foreign money services business, not reporting virtual currency transactions exceeding $10,000 CAD, and not submitting suspicious transaction reports. These actions violated compliance requirements for financial institutions in Canada, making this fine the largest penalty in FINTRAC's history.
