Caution: Jud-EX.com Is Holding $70k of My Funds — Avoid This ServiceAfter completing several successful BTC-to-XMR swaps, I initiated another transaction on Jud-EX.com on February 25 for 1.00662 BTC to XMR. I saved the order ID (QI2FY), sent the BTC, and the website initially confirmed the deposit. Unexpectedly, upon refreshing the page, the order status changed to "Order not found." Over a week later, despite multiple emails, I have not received the 200 XMR or a refund of my 1.00662 BTC. Jud-EX claims no record of the order exists, yet blockchain evidence confirms my funds were diverted with a 99.8% fee.
Analysis of the blockchain and Jud-EX’s JSON responses reveals the following:
- Jud-EX uses NEAR intents/1Click (Swap API) for swaps.
- NEAR intents/1Click does not support XMR swaps. Jud-EX admitted in this Bitcointalk thread that they maintain their own XMR pool.
- For BTC-to-XMR orders, Jud-EX creates a BTC-to-LTC swap via NEAR intents, then manually converts LTC to XMR. Jud-EX confirmed in this Bitcointalk thread using decentralized methods for this step. To verify, you can create a BTC-to-XMR order and inspect network packets; the JSON response includes terms like "manual:xmr", "destinationAsset":"nep141:ltc.omft.near", and "actual_wallet":"Lc5eqsKQMjsyACJkkpKNn7njZF6rTUGQHG".
- Lc5eqsKQMjsyACJkkpKNn7njZF6rTUGQHG is a Jud-EX-controlled LTC address. All NEAR intents transactions for purported XMR swaps (e.g. BTC, though unverified for other assets) route here. View this address on NEAR intents explorer (note the 1Click partnership): https://explorer.near-intents.org/?search=Lc5eqsKQMjsyACJkkpKNn7njZF6rTUGQHG&transactionType=swaps
- My BTC was swapped to LTC with a 99.8% fee. Confirm this via the NEAR intents explorer (check fee details): https://explorer.near-intents.org/transactions/19E4fRzjKZZW14xzjU4YWGCeCoogPqkVb3
- A prior order confirmed Jud-EX uses this LTC address for BTC-to-XMR swaps. Their fee account is also visible on NEAR intents explorer: ecb7782d5a1271b7daa5e509dbf10a8edf64ac4514b4212ae512a0669b92f643
Jud-EX is either incompetent or engaging in fraudulent activity. In either case,
they continue to hold $70,000 of my funds, and I strongly advise against using their service. This is very sad to know. it looks like they came to scam
Imagine they said this.
Thank you 🙏 We chose this line because there is currently a lot of fraud in the field of anti-money laundering, when exchangers freeze customers' funds under the pretext of the need to undergo verification and confirm the origin of the funds, trying to keep the customers' money for themselves by any means necessary, and not because the money has a dirty history. We solve this problem with a model of either exchange or refund — no withholding of funds.
Just wolves in a sheep's skin.
You should never transfer a high amount of crypto with these half-baked exchanges. They just exit scam in an instant
