I missed this one!

Zurich's oldest private bank flips on it's customers, pay a $22M fine & confess to helping them evade $16M in US taxes. Agrees to hand over the #receipts & help the US prosecute these American oligarchs.

#ButNothingsHappening
Rahn & Bodmer admitted to helping 340 US taxpayers evade taxes from 2004-2012 by concealing their identities from US authorities. They had a peak of $391M stashed in the bank to hide it from the IRS. Image
Looks like they got caught moving assets to shell companies in Panama after assets in Liechtenstein shell companies became exposed to US authority in 2008.

I bet the #PanamaPapers gave them the keys to understanding these shell companies & enabled authorities to track it. Image
Looks like a diamond dealer in Manhattan played a role in facilitating the movement of cash for at least one of the crooks. I think I recall a diamond dealer getting indicted awhile ago by the feds, wonder if they are the same.... Image
DOJ let them off with ONLY $22M in fines/penalties because the bank " provided a substantial volume of documents to the Department"

Wouldn't want to be one of those 340 Americans that evaded taxes by hiding money in that bank! Image
Wondering if the Manhattan Diamond Dealer was Moshe Luxe.

He's up on civil tax evasion charges in Eastern District of NY with many pushing for criminal charges. Of course he got busted by the Feds soon after he partnered with Ivanka Trump! #MobstersCheckInButTheyDontCheckOut

Interesting, a German politician serving in the Bundestag was secretly getting abut $2M a year from a billionaire as 'consulting fees' to his law firm. Payments stopped a few months after he left office but exceeded 12M Euro from 2008-2015. #ButNothingsHappening.
It's in German but here are some snips that are translated by my browser.

Of course he hid behind attorney client privilege claiming to be bound by "strictly, legally regulated confidentiality".

Cool story bro!
I'm guessing this Swiss billionaire didn't want Europe consolidating enough to close all the loopholes in tax evasion & money laundering laws!

Emilio Jose Heredia Collado, an oil trader for Swampy commodity trader Glencore has pled guilty & is cooperating with the DOJ for manipulating oil market prices to rig profitable trades for his employer. #ButNothingsHappening
morningstar.com/news/dow-jones…
Glencore's activities are under investigation in dozens of countries & since the 1970s they have played a role in everything from illegal CIA operations, UN programs, Russian arms deals, and bribery of dictators & politicians on a global scale.
The founder of Glencore, Marc Rich, was infamously pardoned by Bill Clinton on his final day in office to sabotage the prosecutions of Rich & his enablers by the Republican lead DOJ.

Henning Schwarzkopf, head of international law firm pleads guilty to #MoneyLaundering that was an FBI sting against pump & dump stock market manipulation!
With a guilty plea, it is likely that he is cooperating.
One of his specialties? Asian super yachts...
#ButNothingsHappening
His guilty plea exposes him to a 20 year sentence & $250k in fines. I suspect he has a lot of assets & receipts to provide too!
His guilty plea likely breaks attorney client privilege to his super rich global clientele he enabled crimes for!
I can't wait to find out what lead the FBI to introduce their undercover agent to Henning Schwarzkopf!

The spouse of the governor of Malaysia’s central bank is now under investigation for his role in the $4.5B heist from #1MDB! #ButNothingsHappening
Looks like he transferred funds from #1MDB to off shore accounts in Singapore...

Now they are looking for the #receipts!
Seems the central bank was warned about the #MoneyLaundering in 2015 & 2016 but they didn’t do anything about it.

CEO, Former President & Chief Counsel for Barcelona soccer team arrested for paying for Fusion GPS style fake news & social media campaigns against players they wanted to damage. #ButNothingsHappening
This is being investigated by the Spanish financial crimes unit, so don’t be surprised if this revolves around money laundering issue. Soccer has been notorious for laundering cash through player contracts, endorsements, sponsorships, & broadcasting rights. Image
Barca of course brought in one of the global auditing firms to ‘clear’ them of the allegations.
I imagine any auditor who couldn’t find financial corruption in a major soccer team wasn’t really looking. Apparently the police found it though! Image

Boy the media has missed this story for 3 days!

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles pleads guilty for paying $3.5M bribes to UAW officials from 2009-2016 and no one covers it? DOJ even tweets it out using their initials so no one notices it.

#ButNothingsHappening
I have been following this case for a long time as UAW officials were subjected to raids, indictments & then started pleading guilty.
Pending approval by the court, a monitor will be appointed to supervise Chrysler Fiat's labor relations to prevent corruption.
