The department stated that Prime Trust now has an insecure financial condition. Also, it may already be untenable. In addition, the situation with it will only worsen, because users are withdrawing more and more funds from the site.

In the winter of 2021-2022, the company made the purchase of additional cryptocurrencies. This was done to meet the requirements of users regarding the withdrawal of funds. At the same time, she used user assets to carry out the procedures.
