@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ Some quite astonishing replies from Graeme Biggar (Head, UK National Economic Crime Centre) to extremely focused + knowledgeable questioning from Dame Eagle on the endemic levels of #Fraud & #MoneyLaundering in the UK + links to ...
2/ organised crime. This Treasury select committee session caught the headlines for the infamous “only 1%-3% positive outcomes from ActionFraud reports” but before being cut off by Dame Eagle was Mr Biggar really going to deny that there are often links between organised crime .. Image
3/ + pensions/investment scams?. Mr Biggar would go on to compund this by poopoo’ing reported comments from front line NCA officers who reportedly stated they “believe that targeting corrupt businessmen with expensive QCs + claims of private wealth is a waste of time”. ImageImage
4/ The parallels between the Dame Gloster #LCF enquiry critique of the @TheFCA () + critique of the Home Office/NCA/NECC are clear - up front + centre an “out of touch” (with the front line + reality) impenetrable apparatchiki arming its front line ...
5/ officers with weak anti-fraud laws + an incompetent/fearful CPS in the battle against “lawyered up” shadowy networks operating both inside + outside of @TheFCA’s pitifully small porous (A.R’s) regulatory perimeter + in to the world of organised crime. In the week that a ...
6/ landmark UK Supreme Court judgement tied the SFO’s “Chicago Sheriff’s” remaining hand behind her back this has never been more so the case. As rumours abound of shadowy figures allegedly stalking Dubai “looking to get their money back” re: the notorious MJSCapital minibond Image
7/ scam, we await the completion of drugs/weapons cases to out the associations with figures from multiple minibond scandals + when we get on to looking at the notorious pension liberation scams (the @TPRgovuk slept through) an alleged association with one of London’s ...
8/ infamous crime gangs ... we ponder, surely Mr Biggar is aware of the links between organised crime + pensions/investment scams, because front line NCA officers certainly are. Even if Mr Biggar followed his rabid obsession with “Russian dirty money” through it would be ...
9/ something, but the most notorious Russian formation factory still operates in London even though its honchos have allegedly used multiple identities + been banged to rights by the Insolvency Service. Although Albanian ops are somewhat of a speciality 4 them, fascinatingly .. Image
10/ they allegedly moved the money (via CZ) for the Russian GU(GRU)’s alleged Montenegro coup op. I mean one only needs to sniff at the notorious #PrivilegeWealth minibond scam to smell the scion (+ a FCA authorised scion at that) of a Russian oligarch from the early days ...
11/ lucky to avoid a botched assassination attempt killing his driver ... not the only Russian money link in this scam b.t.w.. How can Mr Biggar forget @TheFCA’s notorious #emoney & #Forex cesspits, international centres of money laundering + a staple in the unauthorised ...
12/ illegal #binaryoptions #gambling #Forex scene ... surely the notorious #WolfOfSophia’s alleged use of the FCA’s #emoney cesspit would have excited Mr Biggar (timesofisrael.com/european-cops-… AND timesofisrael.com/german-austria… AND fintelegram.com/vienna-cybercr… AND fintelegram.com/vienna-cybercr… AND ...
13/ efri.io/bulgaria-an-eu… + + ). What’s that you say, Hunter Biden’s former fellow “Burisma” board member swooped in, surely not ;-). #LCF bondholders will remember the infamous “Ding Dong Deal” () ... Image
14/ involving #LCF end game player Whyke + his associate the notorious Yoram Yossifoff, where in effect the NCA did the due diligence for them LOL. Yoram Yossifoff () had it’s reported allegedly connections to Israeli + FSU organised crime networks.
15/ At the end the “mysterious world of corporate insolvency” invariably rolls in to make things go away (apart from the money that is, that’s already gone) as night follows day. #LCF bondholders pondered why the laws of probability seem to cease to exist in respect of the ...
16/ “mysterious world of corporate insolvency” () with not only the LCF crew’s redoubt (London Group LLP) but also the linked MJS Capital Plc & Asset Life Plc sharing the same insolvency practitioner ... they would be further surprised perhaps to see ...
17/ that the notorious Privilege Wealth plc minibond scam has again the same Insolvency practitioner. They shouldn’t be surprised as #LCF, #AssetLife, #MJSCapital, #PrivilegeWealth(+spawn) along with other pension/investment scams, carbon credit, so called FCA listed bond ... Image
18/ ops, FCA DFM’s + much more are spun in the same web ... a web we’ll continue to probe through pension scams + the FCA’s notorious so called “listed bond” ops. It’s notable that even notorious UK & International fraudsters fear both USA anti-fraud laws (Wirefraud/RICO) ...
19/ + the long arm of USA regulators/law enforcement, often even including a warning on their scams against USA residents applying. The FSA’s notorious made man Renwick Haddow laughed at UK fraud laws/regulators but stateside he found out the hard way, extradited to USA ...
20/20 after months in a Moroccan jail + pled guilty to 2 charges of wirefraud/wirefraud conspiracy.(max 20 yrs jail per charge) Image

@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ While @TheFCA slumbered, their FCA made men/women wet their beaks in the notorious dark world of “entrepreneurial” aka “Golden Visa’s”. In 2018 the UK suspended “Golden Visa’s over endemic #MoneyLaundering concerns independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n… AND ...
2/ transparency.org.uk/sites/default/…. The FCA’s made men/women aren’t fussy, their target demographic at the top end usually Chinese “big crocs” & FSU “mini-me oligarchs”. This week @TheFCA woke up from its slumber + stopped #DolfinFinancial (UK) Ltd from carrying out regulated ...
3/ activities(fxnewsgroup.com/forex-news/reg… AND fca.org.uk/news/news-stor…) citing “serious concerns over the way Dolfin operated it’s business, including Tier1 Visa ops & financial crime controls”. The FCA was very quiet though about the seemingly all consuming Russian #CryptoCrap ..

@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ As TheTimes/Guardian peddle the “play the man” spin-byte(in contrast to the Standard for eg), perhaps we should think about what Dame Gloster “DG” said about the FCA’s (FSA) impenetrable apparatchik fatcattery & it’s hundreds of thousands of victims.
2/ DG told MPs that the @theFCA was broken with a culture of (paraphrasing) turning a blind eye to fraud + other behaviour endemic in UK Financial Services hurting so badly the public, she went on to tell MP’s that networks operated both inside + outside of the FCA’s pitifully ..
3/ small regulatory perimeter + that the FCA refused to look outside their pitifully small regulatory perimeter. DG didn’t talk about the porous nature(A.R.’s) of the FCA’s regulatory perimeter eg its “regulatory + hedge fund hotels” which means fraudsters + ex-cons are ...

2/ the all too familiar gruesome tale in the “Wild West” that is U.K. Financial Services. The debenture holders & company’s directors included rather fascinatingly the now deceased Lord (Prof.) Barrie Pettman & colleague Dr Richard Dobbins, amongst other things academics & ... ImageImageImageImage
3/ prolific finance/accountancy writers/publishers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrie_Pe…. The administrators proposals outline a quite astonishing “bitch fight” in the “mysterious world of corporate insolvency” between debenture holders mounted on their chosen Insolvency Practitioners. ImageImage

2/ “secure” investments?. Bonds promising high returns were used to fund bizarre schemes around the world’. What isn’t in the piece (but still queued up for the “curious case” treatment) is that the #LCF crew played host to Bradley Lincoln’s activities, #LCF bondholder ...
3/ victims will also recognise Mr Zhang alongside the doyen of Sussex & Kent Tory MP’s, former MP’s + former council leaders #LCF crew-mate Simon Hume-Kendall, talking turkey over the LCF crews notorious Lakeview multi recycled/rebranded “scheme”. The #LCF scandal ... Image

@retheauditors @premnsikka @alexralph 1/ The curious case of Grandmaster Flash + The Liverpool Motley Crew. In 2019 TheTimes wrote of the notorious “SKW Investments/Imperium Enterprises” pensions liberation “scheme”, chess grandmaster Simon Williams + chess club chum the …

2/ pitifully small regulatory perimeter it’s no surprise that one of his japes “London Quantum Occupational Pension Scheme” included so many “familiar faces” from the “curious cases”. The rest are in the queue with the exception of “Mallets Loan Note” - a despicable tale of a .. Image
3/ a pair of UK solicitors gov.uk/government/new…, enough for them to be banned as directors but seemingly just like #LCF’s Sedgwick not enough for prompt action from the @sra_solicitors. If we look at the biggest scheme “investment” - Quantum PYX Managed FX Fund, it’s no .. Image
