ANOUSH GHAMSARI EXPOSED IN MASSIVE FINANCIAL FRAUD BY IRAN COMMUNITY.

FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA   ~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~

IRANIAN IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT ANOUSH GHAMSARI DEFRAUDED EMIRATES COMPANY OF $2m

Our recent article*, about Anoush Ghamsari, the unlicensed immigration consultant who repeatedly used third country passports to illegally bring Iranian nationals into Canada, has yielded additional information from the Iranian expat community in Toronto; He has been involved in a two million dollar financial fraud in Canada.
A representative of the victim banking group recently arrived in Toronto, seeking information about the scheme.
It appears that Mr. Ghamsari, using a non-existent corporation that he called A.M.G. Group Inc. (Canada), fraudulently sold a one-half interest in a financial services firm, to a group of Iranian investors, whose corporate entity was identified as I.T.S., LLC (Dubai).
The problem is, he had no right, title or interest in and to the shares of stock of the company, and could not legally sell them. In truth and fact, he had stolen them from the rightful owners, and could not convey good title. 
He also sold the victims useless debit card blanks; when the victims contacted the Central Bank of Iran, to activate the cards, they were informed that they could not be used to access the global credit card payment system.
The stolen shares of stock were later cancelled and nullified by the issuing company, and are essentially void, leaving the victims in possession of worthless documents, and out more than $2m.
The proximate cause of their loss was the fraud of Mr. Ghamsari; I have reviewed the agreements and documents in this case, and they confirm the accuracy of the information contained in this acrticle.
Should you encounter this gentlemen, you are strongly advised to disengage from any contact immediately, as  Ghamsari is reportedly under criminal investigation in Canada.

SWISS WON´T COOPERATE WITH U.S. TAX AUTHORITIES.


FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA
~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~

WILL SWISS COURT ACTION INVITE AMERICAN RESPONSE ?

The Cantonal Tribunal Premiére Instance, in Geneva, has ruled that Credit Swisse Group AG may not turn over, to United States tax authorities, documents and personal information data regarding a former Credit Swisse employee.
The US had requested information on the unnamed individual, who had reportedly worked at the division of Credit Swisse in Geneva that dealt with US customers.
An injunction has been issued by the Court, to block the transfer of the information about the employee, who was allegedly involved in illegal cross-border market trading activities. Privacy considerations aside, this Swiss action, coming at a time of delicate Swiss-American relations, regarding requests for information on US tax cheats, could jeopardize the recent agreement in principle, which would free Swiss financial institutions from the threat of further US indictments.
I understand that personal information has greater safeguards in Europe than in the United States, but Swiss roadblocks, like this decision, could again open the floodgates of American indictments of Swiss banks, and bankers.
Does the Swiss Government really want this ? I seriously doubt whether it has the stomach for more negative media exposure about Switzerland as an aider and abettor of tax evaders.
The filing of new indictments against Swiss banks could result in an increase in Country Risk for Switzerland, especially after the Wegelin & Cie. case. Let us hope that Swiss stonewalling, using the pretext of individual privacy rights, does not provoke a response.

MONEY LAUNDERER'S INVESTMENTS | FROM SWITZERLAND TO USA.


FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA
~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~


ARE AMERICAN TAX CHEATS REPATRIATING THEIR LAUNDERED FUNDS FROM SWITZERLAND ?


This week's story, involving the theft of $1.2m in US currency, from cargo that had arrived at JFK Airport in New York, on a Swiss Air Lines flight, is of interest to compliance, not because of the nature of the crime, but for the back story.

The currency was but a small part of a $93m sealed shipment, which originated from a yet unnamed US bank's Zurich office, and was destined for the Federal Reserve's New Jersey cash processing center, classified an an intra-bank transfer.

While routine bulk cash shipments occur every day, one wonders just how much of that ninety-three million belonged to American tax cheats, artfully laundered in Switzerland, and being repatriated, under the guise of one or more well-planned investments, by foreign entities. Obviously, as the US continues to lean on Swiss banks for information regarding their wealthy US clientele, prudent money launderers, located in Geneva, Zurich and Lugano are creating credible fronts for their customers' assets, with an eye towards investing at least some of those funds in the United States. 

Good money launderers always anticipate trouble, and try to be several steps ahead of both regulators and law enforcement. Rest assured that they are fully engaged in moving their clients' wealth out of Switzerland, and what better place to invest it but America ?

MORIS BERACHA WAS NOT CHARGED IN THE CASE OF ILLARRAMENDI , WHEN THE OTHER THREE DEFENDANTS HAVE ALREADY PLEADED GUILTY .

FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA
~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~


WILL PROMINENT VENEZUELAN BUSINESSMAN BE CHARGED IN MASSIVE CONNECTICUT HEDGE FUND PONZI SCHEME ?

Francisco Illarramendi, the unregistered hedge fund advisor who pled guilty, two years ago, in Federal Court in Connecticut to running a $500m Ponzi scheme, has had his sentencing rescheduled again, this time to 30 September, 2013. Though the official word is that his multiple changes in legal representation are the reason for the repeated sentencing delays, such delays are often due to the fact that a convicted defendant is engaged in cooperating with the authorities, to obtain a shorter sentence, and that said cooperation is incomplete.

The question on many minds is whether Moris Beracha, the wealthy Venezuelan businessman who has close ties to his country's government, has been, or will be, charged in the Illarramendi case,  where three other co-defendants have already pled guilty. Federal indictments are generally sealed, and not available to the public, until the defendant is taken into custody, and Sr. Beracha, who now resides in the Dominican Republic, has reportedly remained outside the United States recently, though he owns property there, so we cannot ascertain whether he is a defendant in that case, based solely upon public records.

Beracha's business dealings with Illarramendi are alleged, in sordid detail, in a Federal civil suit*, filed by the court-appointed Receiver of the entities which Illarramendi operated, in connection with his Ponzi scheme. It is claimed that he received exorbitant fees, and kickbacks, for injecting fresh capital into the unregistered hedge funds that Illarramendi was managing, to pay investors, and the Receiver citing a figure of $170m, alleges that Beracha's funding allowed Illarramendi to extend the life of his Ponzi scheme, to the damage and detriment of the victims, which include Pension schemes of PdVSA, the government-owned oil company.

The Receiver's suit alleges that Beracha engaged in:
(1) Fraud
(2) Unjust Enrichment
(3) Conversion
(4) Common Law Fraudulent Transfer
(5) Constructive Trust
(6) Breach of Fiduciary Duty
(7) Conspiracy to Breach Fiduciary Duty
(8) Demands an Accounting 

The attorneys for the defendants filed a Limited Appearance, to object to personal jurisdiction, improper service of process, and Forum non Conveniens ***. These motions have not yet been ruled upon, though attorneys for both sides have filed extensive citations to relevant authorities.

When the Court decides pending motions in the civil suit, we shall report back to our readers, and also shall in the event that additional defendants are named in the criminal case.

MEK CHANGES ITS NAME, REGISTERS AS LOBBYIST IN WASHINGTON

The Peoples' Mujahedin of Iran, also known as the MEK, recently delisted as a terrorist organization by the US, has renamed itself the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and has registered in Washington DC as a lobbyist.

The NCRI, which is believed to be a front organization for the MEK, can now legally engage in fundraising in the United States. Since it is widely believed to be similar to a cult, treat this organization as high risk.

DANGEROUS EXCEPTION FOR THE BANKS.


FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA   ~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~

 

TERRORIST EXCEPTION TO ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE 

Here's a nasty little surprise for bankers; when bank clients that are arrested, and in custody, are suspected of ongoing terrorist activities, a 2001 opinion of the US Attorney General allows law enforcement to monitor and listen in to private conferences between the client and his attorney.
Yes, that's right, a special exception to the attorney-client privilege that could incriminate your bank and its staff.
The agency rule, filed in the chaotic aftermath of the 9/11 hijackings, allows US law enforcement, if it has a reasonable suspicion to believe that a prisoner or detainee may use the communication with the attorney to further, or facilitate, acts of violence or terrorism. Remember the radical attorney Lynn Stewart, who passed along messages for her terrorist client, and ultimately paid the price for her crimes ?
Here's the threat: should law enforcement, while listening in on otherwise privileged attorney-client conversations or conferences, the agents may pick up damaging or incriminating information about your bank's role, in providing material support to a terrorist organization.
Though they are prohibited from using it directly, I have a sneaking suspicion that such information will eventually find its way into the right (prosecutorial) hands, to the detriment of your defense in court.
This is one more important reason why it is imperative that you constantly update, and monitor, your international clients, lest one of them involved in terrorist financing get arrested, and disclose damaging information about how he moved money through your bank, to his lawyer, which conversation was picked up and (unofficially) passed along by a law enforcement monitor conveniently listening to your client tell his lawyer how easy it was to move money through your bank, and which staff members assisted him.
 The last thing you want in 2013 is a terrorist financing investigation that centers upon your bank, and a client of yours that is suspected of terrorist acts.

EXCESSIVE SECRECY HELP TO FINANCE TERRORIST GROUPS.

FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA   ~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~


OVERCLASSIFICATION OF INFORMATION DAMAGES AML/CFT COMPLIANCE EFFORTS

When four Hezbollah Venezuela agents were detained at the US-Mexican border, the fact that they were Lebanese nationals carrying validVenezuelan passports was never released to the press, with the result that compliance officers at American financial institutions were not made aware of this threat, and took no additional measures to ensure that the Venezuelan nationals seeking to open new accounts were not members of a designated terrorist group.
This is but one illustration of the many instances where, for the sake of excessive secrecy, information critical to anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, is inappropriately classified, and denied to banking compliance. This information generally poses no threat to national security.
 Here are a few more examples I am aware of:
(1) When a former associate of the Western Hemisphere's most powerful money launderer gave an American military intelligence agency his list of the fifty five Venezuelan money launderers who were operating in the Republic of Panama, that information was retained, classified, and has never been released to the banking community.
I fully understand the policy; that to disclose the information "will compromise sources and methods" of collection of intelligence, but since the source has received political asylum in the United States, his cooperation was obvious, and well known. Why deny the banks this information ? I recognized many of the names on that list, and it is painfully accurate.
(2) The names of FARC agents and money launderers have been known for years, ever since the Colombian Army captured several computers in its cross-border raid of a FARC camp in Ecuador, but neither the United States, nor Colombia, has never named them, even those operating outside Colombia. This does not help bankers identify terrorist financiers, and assist law enforcement in following the money.
(3) Individuals involved in the Syrian organized crime connection operating in Panama, which launders massive drug profits, and the proceeds of corrupt activities from all over Latin America, are known to both law enforcement and intelligence service, but never made public. The results are that rampant money laundering continues unabated and undiscovered by the very banks that are unwittingly moving the dirty money.
 Excessive secrecy prevents compliance officers from doing their jobs properly. It makes it more difficult for them to anticipate emerging threats, to understand trends, and to stop financial crime. It is time that such information is made available to the banks, who are now on the frontline in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing; they cannot accomplish this when critical information is kept from the, for no logical reason.

BARCLAYS IS CLOSING SERVICE BUSINESS ACCOUNTS IN SOMALIA


FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA   ~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock~

BARCLAYS CORRECTLY REDLINES SOMALI MONEY TRANSMITERS

The uproar, from Somalia, over Barclays decision to exit all its Somali money service business accounts, conveniently fails to take into account the valid reasons for such action.
Money transmitters/money service businesses in Somalia, which receive an estimated $1.2bn a year, consistently receive a failing grade when it comes to anti-money laundering and counter of terrorist financing.
Indeed, they are financing designated terrorist organizations in that country, who extort millions of dollars from them, upon pain of violence. Al-Shabaab officials also have accounts at these MSB, which means there are issues of providing material assistance to a terrorist organization.

 If $500m of the remittances come from the United Kingdom, and we know that a portion is being given to terrorists, in effect funding their operations, Barclays is eminently correct in shutting down all the remittance accounts. 
Canada and the United States are also experiencing issues with the unknown disposition of remittances to Somalia, and links between Somali expats and Al-Shabaab. If the Somali MSBs will be universally blacklisted, perhaps the domestic banking industry will return; what is needed is banks, with real AML & CFT, not MSBs under the thumb of terrorists.

DEATH RAY TARGETING MUSLIMS.

AMERICAN CONSPIRATORS WANTED TO DEPLOY "DEATH RAY" ON MUSLIMS

Always determine the use to which your client intends to put the funding you are disbursing to him. Two men, from upstate New York, seeking financial backers to build a mobile, remotely operated, truck-borne radiation emitting device, and targeting Muslims and other groups, were arrested by the FBI. Charged with Conspiracy to Provide Material Support to Terrorism (Weapon of Mass Destruction).
The anticipated effect was covert targeting, and delayed fatalities suffered by those targeted.

Law enforcement was able to prevent the construction of the weapon, due to the placement of cooperating individuals inside the criminal conspiracy, after parties who were solicited for funding notified the authorities.
Both defendants have been committed to pretrial detention. They were obviously considered to be threats to the community by the Court. The next time a client states that the purpose of a loan is Working Capital, kindly enquire further.

ANOUSHIRAVAN GHAMSARI, CANADIAN IMMIGRATION FRAUDSTER


FROM THE - JOURNALS of Monte Friesner – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA   ~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~


 
CANADIAN IMMIGRATION FRAUDSTER IDENTIFIED
An Iranian exile group in Canada has publicly identified the principal player in the scheme that has brought Iranian nationals to Canada, using passports illegally obtained in third countries.

He is Anoushiravan M. Ghamsari, known as Anoush. Ghamsari, who does not have a license to operate an an immigration professional in Canada, facilitates his clients' illegal entry as visitors, and not as immigrants.

I am wondering why Citizenship & Immigration Canada has not yet shut down his operation, and others like it. Once they arrive in Canada, they disappear in cities where there is a substantial Iranian expat population; Ghamsari reportedly arranges for bogus identity documents.
It is said that he charges them $25,000 in advance to normalize their status, but then takes to action in their behalf, which is tantamount to fraud. He is also linked to a company, whose name is apparently not registered in Canada, that is involved in serious sanctions violations. 
Many observers of the Canadian immigration scene believe that the real reason that the Government of Canada temporarily halted two of the major immigrant investor programs was not that applications were back up, but that rampant immigration fraud was uncovered. Unfortunately, we are not seeing the amount of arrests that the situation demands.
When other immigration fraudsters are publicly identified, we shall named them as well. Readers who are not familiar with our previous article on the subject can access it here.
