Baliex Limited, operator of baliex.com, was publicly warned by New Zealand's Financial Markets Authority (FMA) on 25 August 2026 over suspected cryptocurrency investment fraud involving a forged audit report and a passport that failed identity verification. The accounting firm named in the forged audit report, Baker Tilly Staples Rodway, confirmed it never audited or provided any services to Baliex and reported the fraudulent documents to New Zealand regulators. Baliex is not listed on New Zealand's Financial Service Providers Register despite appearing to offer investment services, and no independent news coverage or law-enforcement action beyond the regulatory warning has been found.
