Yesterday, @USTreasury alerted banks that sanctioned Russian 🇷🇺 elites are likely using US 🇺🇸 #CommercialRealEstate to evade sanctions.

A couple of thoughts... 🧵
First, it’s welcome that FinCEN has recognized the opacity risks of CRE and issued guidance on identifying risky transactions. 👏👏

Hopefully new rules to prevent #RealEstate #MoneyLaundering due in April will cover both commercial and residential properties.
The alert also highlights the risks of pooled investment vehicles, where an individual’s stake is likely below banks’ reporting requirements. 👍

This loophole allows PEPs to fly below the radar by distributing their investment across multiple funds.🪆

He then asked me how many bank accounts I had and how much money I had. Have I received any big amount lately? Have you been contacted by anyone to open a bank account? etc He then assured me the case would be closed in 20-30 minutes if I cooperate. (12/n)
The Police in Charge PRAKASH KUMAR GUNTU was made to sound like he is an important guy and is really busy. He also said the same thing: cooperate, and this will be resolved in 20-30 minutes. Almost 150 people are under investigation for this case. (13/n)
He said there are bank employees, corporate employees, desperate people etc all sorts of folks involved. Some are doing it willingly, and some got scammed like you. The only way to resolve this is by 'cooperating' and letting us into your bank accounts. (red fag 6) (14/n)

JANHIT MEIN JAARI - HOW I ALMOST GOT SCAMMED - #Jamtara Real Life Incident. #threadstory

Today morning at around 09:45 AM, I got a call from 964675397 'FedEx' customer care saying a package attached to my Aadhar ID had been flagged because it contained illegal items. (1/n)
I allegedly sent the package on December 13, 2022, from Mumbai to Taiwan and it contains 3 Kg of textiles, 5 Credit Cards, 11 Passports, 2 pairs of shoes and...wait for it... 800 gm of weed. I haven't sent any such parcel through FedEx, and I don't live in Bombay. (2/n)
I panicked at hearing that the police needed to get involved because it included illegal items. The customer care executive patiently gave me details about the parcel & 'patched' the call to Mumbai Police Cyber Cell. Red flag 1: Why are police on the hot dial with FedEx? (3/n)

⚠️ Further twists in the #FTX saga by @elliptic . Money laundering is under way using a service owned by Alameda/FTX

The Ether taken from FTX is currently being converted to #RenBTC, which allows it to be moved over to #bitcoin using a service called RenBridge, operated by Ren.
Ren was acquired by Alameda Research last year: lnkd.in/e_aDEbdG

#ftxcrash #ftxbankruptcy #cryptocurrency #financialcrime
The use of RenBridge in this way is textbook black hat hacker. Elliptic research showed how the service has been used to launder hundreds of millions of dollars in #crypto from ransomware, hacks: lnkd.in/eigGms5e

In Aug 2022, I investigated two inter-connected Chinese-origin apps on @GooglePlay that swindle money from Pak and Turkish citizens while falsely pretending to be a solar energy company in Germany.

Receiving multiple DMs from fellow Pakistani citizens who are on the verge of a breakdown. I have advised them to do the needful and lodge complaints with authorities concerned. These people did not carry out due diligence, scammed against promises of 'high profit'.
Both apps use sophisticated forms of deceptive marketing. They claim that their 'head office' is based in Tulpenfeld, Bonn, Germany. The scammers even hired white models (a fake ginger-haired 'CEO') for marketing.
