Adult webcam platform paid $2.6m into controversial influencer Tristan Tate’s bank account, leaked documents show - ICIJ May 7, 2024
The documents obtained by ICIJ include a statement for Tristan Tate’s Paxum Bank account covering 2017 to 2024. It shows about $2.6 million in payments “for services provided” by MFCXY Inc., a company that hosts an adult webcam service, as well as from other adult content platforms such as OnlyFans. The leaked records, which also contain 183 wire transfers, show that Tate transferred funds from his Paxum account into other bank accounts he owned in Romania and the U.K. over the same period…
Paxum, headquartered in the Caribbean island nation of Dominica, has developed a niche as a bank to the pornography and adult services industries, generally shunned by mainstream banks due to human trafficking and exploitation risks.
The leaked documents show that almost all of the deposits made to Tate’s Paxum account — about $2.6 million out of about $2.8 million total — were sent by MFCXY, the webcam platform. Transfers ranged between $15 and $50,000 over the period, according to the statement. The files are the first to reveal financial transactions between Tate and MFCXY…
A few payments to Tate’s Paxum account came from OnlyFans, a website owned by the same person as MFCXY, which calls itself an “e-commerce solutions” company based in Boca Raton, Florida. Paxum had an MFCXY email address — paxum@mfcxy.com — according to the statement.
