SEC Penalises Global Dominion PHP 50,000 for Abusive Debt Collection

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has penalised Global Dominion Financing, Inc. for using unfair and abusive debt collection methods.

In an order dated 28 January 2026, the SEC Financing and Lending Companies Department (FLCD) found the firm in violation of Memorandum Circular No. 18 and the Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act (FCPA).

The regulator ordered the company to pay an administrative fine of PHP 50,000.

The commission warned Global Dominion that repeating such acts would result in more severe consequences. This includes possible higher monetary penalties or the loss of its certificate of authority.

The case originated from a borrower’s complaint regarding the conduct of third-party collection agents following payment delays.

Reported abuses included intercepting the borrower on a public road to demand payment. The company was also caught sending communications that used pressure to discourage the borrower from seeking regulatory help.

The FLCD noted that intercepting a debtor without a court order is not a legitimate practice and is intended to “intimidate, restrain, or coerce”.

The SEC clarified that financing firms remain accountable for the actions of their contractors.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopts a stance that aligns with the Financial Products and Services Consumer Protection Act (FCPA) framework. This regulatory structure establishes joint responsibility for both regulated entities and their third-party service providers when interacting with financial consumers.

The regulations explicitly define prohibited acts such as using profane language or making threats of violence against borrowers.

These rules forbid collectors from contacting anyone on a borrower’s contact list who is not an official guarantor or co-maker.

Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated

The post Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. X account @SaniExp, which belongs to the founder of the Timechain Index explorer, has published data showing that a dormant BTC wallet was activated after hibernating for six years. However, it was set up 13 years ago, according to the tweet — the time when Satoshi Nakamoto’s shadow was still casting itself around, so to speak. The X post states that the tweet belongs to infamous early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, which suffered from a major hack in the early 2010s, and last year it began paying out compensation to clients who lost their crypto in that hack. The deadline was eventually extended to October 2025. Mt. Gox’s wallet with 1,000 BTC reactivated The above-mentioned data source shared a screenshot from the Timechain Index explorer, showing multiple transactions marked as confirmed and moving a total of 1,000 Bitcoins. This amount of crypto is valued at $116,195,100 at the time of the initiated transaction. Last year, Mt. Gox began to move the remains of its gargantuan funds to pay out compensations to its creditors. Earlier this year, it also made several massive transactions to partner exchanges to distribute funds to Mt. Gox investors. All of the compensations were promised to be paid out by Oct. 31, 2025. The aforementioned transaction is likely preparation for another payout. The exchange was hacked for several years due to multiple unnoticed security breaches, and in 2014, when the site went offline, 744,408 Bitcoins were reported stolen.
