A key figure in the Wirecard money laundering scandal has been found dead in the Philippines. He was 44. handelsblatt.com/finanzen/banke…
"He had not been active within the Wirecard group for several years, but was considered an important business partner...He and his wife managed two Filipino payment processors through which Wirecard generated the majority of its alleged Asian sales."
He "is said to have been Wirecard's contact person for the Russian oligarchs Badri Patarkazishvili and Boris Berezovsky"
Just wow. The man was confirmed to be a central suspect in the money laundering scandal. nytimes.com/reuters/2020/0…
If you aren't paying attention to the Wirecard scandal... you should be.
Over $2 billion went missing, the former COO likely fled to Russia and is likely a GRU asset. Now, the Wirecard contact person for Russian oligarchs has turned up dead.
