Apparently, the company that owns the payment processor (WALP Entertainment S.R.L) is run by Gery Shalon, who was charged for stealing $100 million dollars.

This post is misplaced. It belongs to Service discussion board



I don't know how credible the information is, given it was the only article that I saw when I tried to search for more info but regardless. Faucepay seems to be a custodial wallet, so I don't see why someone should use it, yet we have better noncustodial wallets

The wallet was even hacked in March this year Urgent - FaucetPay Hacked Lost $600,000 - Stop Using Deposit Addresses (https://www.publish0x.com/where-is-cryptocurrency-going-in-the-future/urgent-faucetpay-hacked-lost-600-dollars-000-cents-stop-usin-xermgzv)
