37 small regulatory perimeter. Unsurprisingly @Fintelegram alleges : 1. Emoney ops of the #TransactGroupWorld aka Paymentz.com (FCA auth. TransactWorld Ltd/agents) are linked to the #Zoobroker scam network (fintelegram.com/the-transactwo… AND fintelegram.com/european-finte…).

43/ Scottish LP “nest” yields Yellow Butterfly LP, Cyan Elephant LP + Magnetic Horse LP which by complete coincidence have GP’s/LP’s which coincidentally have the same names as offshore entities in the #Zoobroker scam network +/or Ever Cohen linked SPV’s offshore shareholders.

45/ Up front + centre in many of these crypto/binary option/FX/CFD scam networks are ‘formation factories’, UK companies & @theFCA authorised #Emoney ops/banks. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism & Times of Israel describe UK & Israeli crypto/binary option/FX/CFD op ...
