BB Trade Estonia OÜ is the Estonian legal entity that operated the cryptocurrency exchange zondacrypto (formerly BitBay, founded in Poland in 2014 by Sylwester Suszek). The company collapsed in April 2026 amid a withdrawal freeze affecting tens of thousands of customers, had its Estonian virtual-currency licence revoked, was declared bankrupt by a Tallinn court in August 2026 with claims reportedly approaching €700 million, and is now the subject of a Polish criminal fraud and money-laundering investigation that has produced multiple arrests, including of the Polish Olympic Committee president. Both the exchange's founder and later its CEO disappeared amid allegations, still unproven, about the whereabouts of roughly 4,500 BTC in customer funds.

“[Scout] Yahoo Finance (via a wire report) says Zondacrypto's hot-wallet Bitcoin holdings fell from 55.7 BTC to 0.086 BTC -- a 99.7% drop -- amid a withdrawal crisis affecting over a million customers. CEO Przemyslaw Kral has cited a wallet holding roughly 4,500 BTC (about $330 million) as proof of solvency, but founder Sylwester Suszek, who sold the exchange in 2021 and disappeared in March 2022, is the only holder of its private key. Poland's National Prosecutor's Office opened a formal investigation on April 8.”
