Thodex founder in Turkey
cryptocoin.com As we have also reported, the statements of Thodex CEO Faruk Fatih Özer, who was arrested in Albania and extradited to Turkey last week, came to light. In his statement, Özer told that he founded a software company named Inline Teknoloji in Gebze in 2014. The company’s field of activity was to develop mobile and web software. While his company was active, Özer became interested in cryptocurrencies. He started buying and selling cryptocurrencies with his personal account on global cryptocurrency exchanges.
Özer said, “At this point, I thought that I could bring innovation to the crypto money exchanges in Turkey and in 2017 I rented an office in Şişli and established a crypto money exchange called Koineks. At the same time, my activities in the Inline software company in Gebze continued. After establishing the Koineks company, I started trading coins with a team of five and continued my crypto activities,” he said. He also used the following expressions:
In 2020, I mediated the trading of 5 coins, namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Ripple in the global market. In order to serve the global market, I changed the name of our cryptocurrency exchange to Thodex and continued our activities by renting an office in Göztepe. The company’s trading volume was starting to increase and I expanded my team.
Will announce everything else in June
Özer continued, “I hired people who were involved in activities such as software, social media specialists, customer support personnel, human resources personnel.” “The Thodex company I founded was among the top 3 cryptocurrency exchanges in Turkey in terms of transaction volume. It continued its activities as a corporate company.” Özer later said:
I do not accept any of the fraud, organization and management, money laundering accusations thrown at me. I did not defraud anyone and did not launder assets. So far, I have reached the victims in the file and compensated them through my lawyers, and I intend to continue to compensate the victims in the ongoing process. I will explain everything else in the High Criminal Court on 12 June.
The grounds for Faruk Fatih Özer’s arrest by the criminal court of peace were cited as establishing an organization for the purpose of committing a crime, committing fraud with company executives or cooperative managers, and taking his assets abroad. Thodex CEO Faruk Fatih Özer repeated his statement at the prosecutor’s office and made a similar defense at the Criminal Court of Peace. Özer stated that he would answer questions at the hearing and that he did not accept the accusations. Özer, who allegedly fled the country with nearly $2 billion worth of crypto money, was arrested in Albania and brought to Turkey to stand trial.
