What we could not verify

Not verified: operating entity country; Italy acceptance and OAM; incidents (one search, none verified); current PoR; spot base fee; any EU-specific terms; the Ontario OSC page carries no date. Audit 2026-10-09: web searches found no hack/withdrawal-suspension incident for LBank and no other regulator action beyond the existing OSC and JFSA warnings. JFSA warning is also listed in IOSCO I-SCAN id 31609 (2024-06-17); cryptonews reports FSA warning on 2024-06-14. Absence of results is not proof of absence.

Facts are as of 9 Oct 2026. We ran a limited number of searches per exchange, so an empty list is not proof that nothing happened. We did not check the Italian OAM register. Items from press or third parties are reports, not findings by an authority. If something here is wrong or out of date, send a correction with a source: corrections policy. Education only, not investment advice.
