From exchangers to the darknet: how Shukhrat Rasulov and Yuriy Kvashonkin turned ABCeX into a hub for billions in “dirty” crypto

Several online publications have cited ABCeX in connection with the operation of underground payment processors that serve high‑risk areas of the internet, such as unregulated online casinos and transactions linked to the darknet.

According to these claims, Shukhrat Rasulov is described in some sources as a figure associated with a network of cryptocurrency exchanges and payment services. The business model reportedly involved using exchange platforms listed on aggregator services such as BestChange, offering initially attractive rates and later adjusting exchange conditions at execution, resulting in financial losses for some users.

Some reports also claim that multiple exchange operations connected to this network were concentrated in a shared office space in Moscow City’s Federation Tower. These claims also suggest the presence of associated individuals, including Yuriy Kvashonkin, described in some sources as a business partner or nominee manager involved in related corporate structures.

Certain publications further allege that ABCeX processed significant volumes of cryptocurrency transactions through OTC desks.

Rasulov, in some materials, is portrayed as an IT entrepreneur and mentor figure in the crypto and online business space. Critics and investigative writers, however, question the transparency of the operations attributed to his network.
