I think sengih's friend is right. They never use the word blacklist. They just mentioned not sanctioned.
How far does BNM has legal authority over genneva is still in question like what I asked in my previous post.
However if one has prove that genneva is indeed using "investment" as their soliciting act, then BNM and SC does have the authority to step in.

Gold traders: It could be a misunderstanding
GEORGE TOWN: Some gold trading companies could have entered Bank Negara’s consumer alert list due to a misunderstanding, said the Gold Bullion Entrepreneurs Association of Malaysia (GBEAM).
GBEAM secretary-general Datuk Joseph Kow said the misunderstanding might have occurred when some customers misunderstood the gold products they had bought from these companies.
“When they make certain queries with Bank Negara regarding their gold purchases, they could have used terms like interest and investment to describe the transactions.
“The terms investment and interest could have triggered Bank Negara’s alert system, prompting it to place these companies under its consumer alert list,” he said.
Kow was commenting on news reports about some gold trading companies that had appeared on the consumer alert list.
He explained that a gold trading company will need a banking licence from the authorities if they are selling gold as a form of investment that generates interest.
However, he said gold trading in the country had been deregulated since 1987.
“There is no need to obtain a licence or approval from Bank Negara to operate a gold trading business in the country.
“A gold trading company only needs to register with the Companies Commission of Malaysia to do business,” Kow said.
It was reported that Bank Negara has blacklisted 77 companies involved in unauthorised and illegal transactions amid reports of RM100mil being lost monthly to commercial crimes.
