I see your reserves are very large. Do you provide your own liquidity?

What does this mean? Are you not offering exchanges or is customer service unavailable that day?


Question from your AML policy page:

3. Prohibited Assets: Sawgus Digital LLC does not accept cryptocurrency coins originating from sanctioned platforms,

Is there a tolerance period, regardless of AML score, if someone receives coins from these platforms, say 1~2 years before sanctions are imposed?

The name bestchange appeared in the partners list, but when searching the bestchange lists in the Russian and English versions, I did not find the service name.



If the trading is done manually and obtaining 1 confirmation is delayed beyond the working hours, how will the transaction be processed?

I see your reserves are very large. Do you provide your own liquidity?

We maintain our own reserves and also have established connections with reputable liquidity providers. This allows us to ensure smooth settlement and reliable availability of assets for our clients.

What does this mean? Are you not offering exchanges or is customer service unavailable that day?

Both our exchange services and customer support are unavailable outside of our standard working hours. If you contact us after hours, we will follow up as soon as our team is back online.

Is there a tolerance period, regardless of AML score, if someone receives coins from these platforms, say 1~2 years before sanctions are imposed?

We provide only clean assets to our clients and ensure that the coins we deliver are accepted on most platforms, so our valued clients do not face issues afterward. To maintain this standard, we enforce strict controls on the sources of funds we accept. Certain AML-flagged tags are not accepted under any circumstances, and we do not accept any sanctioned assets, regardless of timing.

AML scores evolve over time as new transactions occur, and AML tags may be updated accordingly. Therefore, we do not operate with any specific tolerance period related to timing.

The name bestchange appeared in the partners list, but when searching the bestchange lists in the Russian and English versions, I did not find the service name.

You’re right, our service does not yet appear in the BestChange lists in either the Russian or English versions. At this stage, we are not officially listed. The BestChange listing process requires certain technical conditions to be met before an exchanger can be added, and one of these conditions is already implemented on our side.

According to BestChange’s listing terms:

“On the main page of the exchanger's website, in a well-visible place, there must be a logo with the monitor's logo with a link to the monitor's homepage or the page of the exchanger on the monitor. The link must lead to the monitor's language version corresponding to the exchanger's language version chosen at the time of redirection. If there are several logos of monitors on the exchanger's website, the logo of BestChange must be placed first.”

We have added the required BestChange logo and link as part of the mandatory setup for the listing request. Once BestChange completes their verification, our service should appear in the monitor list.

If the trading is done manually and obtaining 1 confirmation is delayed beyond the working hours, how will the transaction be processed?

All exchanges are handled by our automated bots. If an exchange order is placed before the end of our working hours and it receives its blockchain confirmation after working hours, it will still be processed automatically. Our system continues to handle confirmations and complete existing orders at any time.

The only limitation is that we do not accept new orders after working hours. All previously submitted and paid orders are processed without interruption.

You have the option to "freeze" or retain transactions that have not completed KYC procedures and use them to cover "fund source verification costs," which is completely at odds with "strict controls on the sources of funds we accept."

Failure to pass KYC within 3 months of order creation will result in permanent transaction freezing, with the withheld funds covering the costs of investigating fund origin.

After reading ----> https://sawgus.com/aml/, it is best to avoid the service. They can freeze your coins for the slightest reasons, request all the data and yet keep it (not send it to the authorities).

To clarify, we also have the option to run a pre-AML check before any payment is sent for an exchange order, ensuring that only compliant transactions proceed.

The provision regarding “fund source verification costs” applies only in cases involving law enforcement requests, court orders, sanctions, KYC failure or stolen assets. In these situations, Sawgus may use a portion of the frozen assets to cover the legal and administrative costs involved in handing those assets over to the relevant authorities. These costs may be up to 10% of the frozen amount or 500 USD (whichever is higher) and are deducted before transferring the remaining balance under a valid court order.

In normal cases, KYC checks are quick and almost never result in a failed KYC for three consecutive months unless there are serious compliance concerns. So the statement that we “freeze coins for the slightest reasons” is incorrect.

As stated in our Terms and Conditions, Sawgus only withholds funds in situations involving law enforcement requests, court orders, sanctions, KYC failure or stolen assets. In such cases, Sawgus may withhold the associated funds to cover the costs related to investigating the origin, ownership, legitimacy of the funds, and compliance with enforcement requests and court orders. These costs may be up to 10% of the frozen transaction value or 500 USD (whichever is higher) and are deducted before transferring any remaining balance to the relevant authority, and only under a valid court order.

All of this is clearly outlined in our Terms & Conditions at https://sawgus.com/tos/.

So you took some of the tainted funds to pay for "investigation costs"? That's my least favorite thing about AML, hahaa.
The point is, a legal coin cleaner is that the tainted funds have already passed through law enforcement's wallets.

Thanks for raising this point, let me clarify how our process actually works, because there seems to be a misunderstanding about “taking” funds or using tainted assets.

1. We do not take money for ourselves

Any administrative fees that may apply are strictly used to cover the operational and compliance costs associated with investigations, law enforcement requests, or legal requirements. These fees are not revenue, and they apply only in specific circumstances.

2. Law enforcement requests can happen even with clean assets

A temporary block can be requested by law enforcement for many reasons, not just AML tags. Even completely clean assets can be subject to a temporary freeze while authorities conduct their checks.
If no court order follows, the block is lifted.
In these situations, administrative fees may apply because our team must still complete the required compliance work.

3. Court orders and seizures

If a court order is issued, we are legally required to hand over the exact amount specified by that order directly to the authorities.
In rare cases, the court may order a partial seizure.
This can happen, for example, when a portion of the funds is identified as stolen or illicit, and the remainder is confirmed to be clean.

• The tainted portion is transferred to law enforcement as ordered.
• The remaining clean balance may have administrative fees applied, strictly to cover the compliance procedures, investigation costs, and processing of the partial seizure.

4. KYC requirements

Funds may be frozen if a user fails or refuses to complete KYC for an extended period.
When an AML trigger occurs, KYC becomes mandatory.
If the user completes verification and our investigation concludes that the assets are legitimate, the user can continue using the service as normal.

5. Sanctioned assets

Sanctioned assets are never accepted.
Since they are not accepted, they cannot be used to cover any fees — the question is irrelevant in that context.

6. Why these procedures exist

These measures protect both the platform and users. No one wants to unknowingly receive illicit or tainted assets that could later be frozen or seized elsewhere. Our compliance processes help prevent that from happening.

How exactly does this protect the users, though? Are you suggesting that other users' funds might get tainted because the exchange processed some tainted coins? In that scenario, the fault lies with the exchange still. I think there's no problem with rules that are clearly designed to protect the business from shouldering too many burdens; there's no need to include users as the reasoning for that.

it’s a fair point, so let me clarify what “protecting users” actually means in this context.

1. Exposure to tainted assets can impact users, even if unintentionally

If an exchange processes assets later determined to be stolen, hacked, or linked to sanctions, the recipients of those assets can face consequences on other platforms. This happens in the broader ecosystem:

• wallets receiving tainted funds may get flagged,
• transactions involving those funds may be delayed or blocked elsewhere,
• users may have to explain or defend incoming transactions they never asked for.

So yes, if an exchange allowed illicit funds to flow freely, ordinary users would be exposed to those risks. That’s what our compliance processes are designed to prevent.

2. The responsibility does fall on the exchange — and that’s why we take it seriously

You’re absolutely right that operational burden ultimately falls on the exchange. That’s exactly why we have strict controls, audits, investigations, and sometimes administrative fees: because ensuring we don’t pass on tainted assets to innocent users requires significant work.
The goal is not to offload responsibility onto users, it’s to handle that responsibility properly.

3. “Protecting the business” and “protecting users” aren’t mutually exclusive

When we talk about protecting users, we’re referring to the fact that without proper compliance, illicit or stolen funds can flow through the platform and end up being sent to completely innocent users. Those users can then face delays, wallet flags, or issues on other services, even though they did nothing wrong.
Our compliance work reduces that risk, which protects both the platform and its users.

4. Transparency is the key point

There’s no attempt to hide the fact that compliance processes also protect the company, of course they do.
But they also reduce the chance that:

• users receive illicit funds,
• users get caught up in broader investigations,
• the platform faces regulatory action that harms all customers.

That’s why we frame it as protection for both the platform and its users.

1. We do not take money for ourselves

Any administrative fees that may apply are strictly used to cover the operational and compliance costs associated with investigations, law enforcement requests, or legal requirements. These fees are not revenue, and they apply only in specific circumstances.

Your Terms of Service are very ambiguous...
If I understand the steps, the funds will be deducted before being handed over to the relevant authorities. Does that mean you'll be the one doing the deducting? Where will the fund go next? I doubt the authorities would request that, as they are a government-paid law enforcement agency, not a private firm.

2. Law enforcement requests can happen even with clean assets

A temporary block can be requested by law enforcement for many reasons, not just AML tags.

Perhaps you should refine that with "many undisclosed reasons." That would be a bit like Freewallet which is notoriously a selective scam strict with its rules.
So law enforcement also uses other parameters to freeze funds, I mean, not just relying on AML checks (let's say you tell them, "Hey sir, this money seems like it needs to be frozen first")? So what's the point of providing optional pre-AML checks?

6. Why these procedures exist

These measures protect both the platform and users. No one wants to unknowingly receive illicit or tainted assets that could later be frozen or seized elsewhere. Our compliance processes help prevent that from happening.

Tainted assets are revenue for the government, and they're happy to accept them; that's what I call a legal coin cleaner/mixer. And AML is often used as an excuse by scam exchanges to carry out legally based-unsolicited seizure practics (I'm not saying your exchange is one of them).

I doubt the authorities would request that, as they are a government-paid law enforcement agency, not a private firm.

As mentioned in detail in our earlier comment, the process is already outlined there.
To clarify again, the mentioned fees apply only in cases of partial fund seizure requests. Law enforcement authorities do issue blocking and seizure requests when accompanied by a valid court order, and we act strictly in accordance with those legal directives.

Perhaps you should refine that with "many undisclosed reasons." That would be a bit like Freewallet which is notoriously a selective scam strict with its rules.
So law enforcement also uses other parameters to freeze funds, I mean, not just relying on AML checks (let's say you tell them, "Hey sir, this money seems like it needs to be frozen first")?

To clarify, we are not a law enforcement agency, and we do not determine or speculate on the reasons behind each request. We receive formal blocking or seizure requests only after they have been issued by the relevant authority, typically backed by a valid court order.
The specific grounds for each request are not always disclosed to us in detail, nor is it our role to assess or expand upon them. We do not initiate freezes by suggesting cases to authorities, and we do not apply “additional parameters” beyond executing legally binding instructions we receive.
Our role is limited to compliance with lawful requests.

So what's the point of providing optional pre-AML checks?

The optional Pre-AML check is simply to help you know in advance whether a transaction is likely to be accepted on our platform before you make a payment. It reduces the risk of immediate KYC/AML holds or delays,
It’s optional, does not involve law enforcement, and is meant purely as a risk-reduction tool for users who want extra clarity before proceeding. The Pre-AML check does not trigger law-enforcement involvement and it does not override ongoing AML monitoring

Tainted assets are revenue for the government, and they're happy to accept them; that's what I call a legal coin cleaner/mixer. And AML is often used as an excuse by scam exchanges to carry out legally based-unsolicited seizure practics (I'm not saying your exchange is one of them).

Everyone may have their own view on these topics; however, we can’t comment on opinions about “tainted assets,” government revenue, or broader industry practices.
What we can clarify is that we do not benefit from seized assets, and we do not perform unsolicited seizures. Any blocking or seizure happens only in response to a valid, legally binding order from the relevant authority, and we act strictly within that scope.
