Telegram Under Fire for Hosting Sanctioned Crypto Scam Network

Published on April 14, 2026

Recent reports have revealed that Telegram continues to host Xinbi Guarantee, a black market site linked to $21 billion in crypto scams and human trafficking. This follows the UK’s designation of Xinbi Guarantee as a significant enabler of these illicit activities just weeks ago.

Despite sanctions, the platform has yet to take action against the account. Users can still access the site without any restrictions, raising concerns about Telegram’s commitment to curbing criminal activities on its platform.

The presence of Xinbi Guarantee illustrates a troubling gap in oversight. Authorities are alarmed, as this same environment allows criminals to operate freely, undermining efforts to combat financial crime and human trafficking.

This situation puts Telegram in a precarious position. As the platform faces scrutiny, failure to address these issues could damage its reputation and user trust, inviting further regulatory pressures.
