According to the latest revelations, Tristan Tate had an account with Paxum Bank from 2017 to 2024.

The operations continued until August 2022, four months before the Tates' arrest in December 2022.
Wiretaps suggest the Tate brothers used Paxum Bank to move money quietly and avoid attention.

Although Paxum Bank is regulated by the Dominica Federal State Institution, its involvement in risky industries and its offshore status raise concerns about regulatory oversight.
The bank says it adheres to international banking standards, but recent controversies highlight potential gaps in regulatory compliance and risk management.
