SHELL COMPANIES for money laundering, tax evasion, hiding kickbacks, layering PART 31 -- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

THIS POST IS CONTINUED FROM PART 30 , BELOW---

In February 2016, instructions to steal US$951 million from Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of Bangladesh, were issued via the SWIFT network. Five transactions issued by hackers, worth $101 million and withdrawn from a Bangladesh Bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, succeeded, with $20 million traced to Sri Lanka (since recovered) and $81 million to the Philippines (about $18 million recovered).

The Federal Reserve Bank of NY blocked the remaining thirty transactions, amounting to $850 million, at the request of Bangladesh Bank.  It was identified later that Dridex malware was used for the attack.

Dridex also known as Bugat and Cridex is a form of malware that specializes in stealing bank credentials via a system that utilizes macros from Microsoft Word.The targets of this malware are Windows users who open an email attachment in Word or Excel, causing macros to activate and download Dridex, infecting the computer and opening the victim to banking theft. 

The primary objective of this software is to steal banking information from users of infected machines to immediately launch fraudulent transactions.

The hackers managed to gain access to the network because the Bank was using second-hand $10 network switches without a Firewall to run its network. 

The network computers that were linked through the second-hand routers were connected to the SWIFT global payment network, allowing hackers to gain access to the credentials required to make high-value transfers straight into their own accounts. Firewall are meant to help keep out malicious hackers and malware from doing nasty things.

A firewall is a network security device that monitors traffic to or from your network. It allows or blocks traffic based on a defined set of security rules..   

A firewall monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another outside network, such as the Internet, that is assumed not to be secure or trusted.  

Firewalls are often categorized as either network firewalls or host-based firewalls. Network firewalls filter traffic between two or more networks; they are either software appliances running on general purpose hardware, or hardware-based firewall computer appliances. 

Host-based firewalls provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine.  Firewall appliances may also offer other functionality to the internal network they protect, such as acting as a DHCP or VPNserver for that network.

In this cyber heist, thieves tried to illegally transfer US$951 million to several fictitious bank accounts around the world.. The perpetrators managed to compromise Bangladesh Bank's computer network, observe how transfers are done, and gain access to the bank's credentials for payment transfers. 

They used these credentials to authorise about three dozen requests to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to transfer funds from the account Bangladesh Bank held there to accounts in Sri Lanka and the Philippines. 

Thirty transactions worth $851 million were flagged by the banking system for staff review, but five requests were granted; $20 million to Sri Lanka (later recovered)-- and $81 million lost to the Philippines, entering the Southeast Asian country's banking system on February 5, 2016. This money was laundered through casinos and some later transferred to Hong Kong.

The $20 million transfer to Sri Lanka was intended by hackers to be sent to the Shalika Foundation, a Sri Lanka-based private limited company. 

The hackers misspelled "Foundation" in their request to transfer the funds, spelling the word as "Fundation". ( a typical BONG typo--they say UNNDD instead of WOUND  ) 

This spelling error gained suspicion from Deutsche Bank, a routing bank which put a halt to the transaction in question after seeking clarifications from Bangladesh Bank

The incident shows the risks that banks connected to the SWIFT system are exposed to as a result of the security vulnerabilities of other member banks. 

By breaching the Bangladesh Central Bank's security firewalls, hackers were able to hack the system and transfer the funds through the established global banking networks almost undetected. 

The failure of the Bangladeshi government to build adequate safeguards for its financial system became the starting point for a global, multi-million money laundering scheme whose effect was felt beyond the country's borders. 

The case  highlights the threat of cyber attacks to both government and private institutions by cyber criminals using real bank codes to make orders look genuine. SWIFT has advised banks using the SWIFT Alliance Access system to strengthen their cyber security posture and ensure they are following SWIFT security guidelines

U.S. prosecutors said the Greens created SHELL companies to pay off Juthamas, with the money then transferred into the bank accounts of Juthamas' daughter and a friend.

A U.S. federal court in 2010 sentenced filmmakers Gerald and Patricia Green to six months in prison after they were convicted of conspiracy under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits making corrupt payments to foreign officials for business purposes.

According to a criminal complaint filed in March 2009, the Greens set up several SHELL companies in California and bank accounts in Singapore, the U.K. and the Isle of Man to pay a total of $1.8 million in bribes to an unnamed former governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Technological advances in e-commerce, the global diversification of financial markets and new financial product developments provide opportunities to launder illegal profit and obscure the money trail leading back to the underlying crime.

FINTRAC's financial intelligence plays a critical role in helping to combat money laundering. This financial intelligence is used to assist money laundering and terrorist financing investigations in the context of a wider variety of criminal investigations, where the origins of the suspected criminal proceeds are linked to drug trafficking, fraud, tax evasion, corruption, and other criminal offences. With these types of crimes, there are victims, there is often violence, and there is real social harm.

Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) gathers, analyzes, assesses, and discloses financial intelligence. Originally created in July 2000 to counter suspected money laundering,

FINTRAC receives information on:----

Suspicious transactions

Suspected terrorist property

Large cash transactions

Electronic funds transfer

Cross border currency reporting

Suspicious transactions are  reported by financial entities (banks and financial dealers), money services businesses, life insurance companies and agents, certain government agencies that take deposits (such as Canada Post), accountants or accounting firms, real estate agents and brokers, and casinos.

List of reports filed to FINTRAC:--

Suspicious transaction reports

Large cash transaction reports

Electronic funds transfer reports

Casino disbursement reports

POEM is an internationally recognised test to determine residence of a company incorporated in a foreign jurisdiction. It works to check companies who set up shell subsidiaries abroad to evade taxes. POEM is effective from 1 April 2016 and accordingly shall apply from assessment year 2017-18 onwards.

Why is POEM important? In short, because if a company’s place of effective management is India, it will be treated as a local resident and its global income will be taxable in the country. POEM is one of three criteria of corporate residency that are widely identified under several jurisdictions. Place of a company’s incorporation (POI) and place of its central control and management (CCM) are the other two.

Almost all jurisdictions that impose tax on corporate entities determine the tax residence of such entities based on one of two types of tests or a combination thereof. The first type is formal and usually based on POI of the company. Under the POI test, for purposes of tax, a corporate entity is resident in the jurisdiction of its incorporation. 

The second type, CCM, and POEM are substantive and based on the ‘real seat’ of the corporation. POM determines whether a company is resident in a particular country. POEM is a tiebreaker test whose purpose is to resolve cases of dual residence by determining in which of the two states it is to be found.

POEM is concerned with what happens in both states since its purpose is to resolve dual residence.

Placing "dirty" money in a service company, where it is layered with legitimate income and then integrated into the flow of money, is a common form of money laundering.

Money obtained from certain crimes, such as extortion, insider trading, drug trafficking, and illegal gambling is "dirty". It needs to be cleaned to appear to have been derived from legal activities so that banks and other financial institutions will deal with it without suspicion. Money can be laundered by many methods, which vary in complexity and sophistication.

Again, --money laundering involves three steps: the first involves introducing cash into the financial system by some means ("placement"); the second involves carrying out complex financial transactions to camouflage the illegal source of the cash ("layering"); and finally, acquiring wealth generated from the transactions of the illicit funds ("integration"). 

Some of these steps may be omitted, depending on the circumstances. For example, non-cash proceeds that are already in the financial system would not need to be placed.

 First, the illegitimate funds are furtively introduced into the legitimate financial system. Then, the money is moved around to create confusion, sometimes by wiring or transferring through numerous accounts. Finally, it is integrated into the financial system through additional transactions until the "dirty money" appears "clean."

Cash-intensive businesses: In this method, a business typically expected to receive a large proportion of its revenue as cash uses its accounts to deposit criminally derived cash. Such enterprises often operate openly and in doing so generate cash revenue from incidental legitimate business in addition to the illicit cash – in such cases the business will usually claim all cash received as legitimate earnings.

 Service businesses are best suited to this method, as such businesses have little or no variable costs and/or a large ratio between revenue and variable costs, which makes it difficult to detect discrepancies between revenues and costs. 

Examples are parking buildings, strip clubs, tanning beds, car washes ( used in BREAKING BAD ) , and casinos.

Trade-based laundering: This involves under or overvaluing invoices to disguise the movement of money.

Shell companies and trusts: Trusts and shell companies disguise the true owner of money. Trusts and corporate vehicles, depending on the jurisdiction, need not disclose their true, beneficial, owner. Sometimes referred to by the slang term rathole though that term usually refers to a person acting as the fictitious owner rather a business entity

Bank capture: In this case, money launderers or criminals buy a controlling interest in a bank, preferably in a jurisdiction with weak money laundering controls, and then move money through the bank without scrutiny. In recent years, banks and customers have used electronic images of checks to process payments instead of paper checks in an procedure known as remote deposit capture.

The technology allows a check-cashing business in a foreign country to scan a bundle of checks and deposit them at a U.S. bank. The entire process can take just seconds and avoids the hassle of transporting physical checks overseas.

But regulators are concerned that electronic check processing could be exploited by money launderers. Drug cartels, for example, could turn to exchange houses in Mexico to scan images of travelers checks or money orders.

In 2010, Wachovia, which Wells Fargo bought in 2008, agreed to pay $160 million as part of a money-laundering investigation. The Justice Department said some $40 billion moved through the bank from foreign correspondent accounts using remote deposit capture. The deposits, made between 2005 and 2007, included travelers checks and money orders and were not monitored for money laundering..

Real estate: Someone purchases real estate with illegal proceeds and then sells the property. To outsiders, the proceeds from the sale look like legitimate income. Alternatively, the price of the property is manipulated: the seller agrees to a contract that underrepresents the value of the property, and receives criminal proceeds to make up the difference.

Black salaries: A company may have unregistered employees without a written contract and pay them cash salaries. Dirty money might be used to pay them.

Tax amnesties: For example, those that legalize unreported assets in tax havens and cash

In theory, electronic money should provide as easy a method of transferring value without revealing identity as untracked banknotes, especially wire transfers involving anonymity-protecting numbered bank accounts. In practice, however, the record-keeping capabilities of Internet service providers and other network resource maintainers tend to frustrate that intention. 

Cryptocurrencies under recent development have aimed to provide for more possibility of transaction anonymity for various reasons

Today, most financial institutions globally, and many non-financial institutions, are required to identify and report transactions of a suspicious nature to the financial intelligence unit in the respective country. For example, a bank must verify a customer's identity and, if necessary, monitor transactions for suspicious activity. 

This is often termed as "know your customer". This means knowing the identity of the customer and understanding the kinds of transactions in which the customer is likely to engage. By knowing one's customers, financial institutions can often identify unusual or suspicious behaviour, termed anomalies, which may be an indication of money laundering.

Bank employees, such as tellers and customer account representatives, are trained in anti-money laundering and are instructed to report activities that they deem suspicious. Additionally, anti-money laundering software filters customer data, classifies it according to level of suspicion, and inspects it for anomalies. 

Such anomalies include any sudden and substantial increase in funds, a large withdrawal, or moving money to a bank secrecy jurisdiction. Smaller transactions that meet certain criteria may also be flagged as suspicious.. 

The software  flags names on government "blacklists" and transactions that involve countries hostile to the host nation. Once the software has mined data and flagged suspect transactions, it alerts bank management, who must then determine whether to file a report with the government.

1989 Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF)

FATF's three primary functions with regard to money laundering are:--

Monitoring members’ progress in implementing anti-money laundering measures,

Reviewing and reporting on laundering trends, techniques, and countermeasures, and

Promoting the adoption and implementation of FATF anti-money laundering standards globally.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime maintains the International Money Laundering Information Network, a website that provides information and software for anti-money laundering data collection and analysis. The World Bank has a website that provides policy advice and best practices to governments and the private sector on anti-money laundering issues

  

Money laundering offences have similar characteristics globally. There are two key elements to a money laundering offence:

The necessary act of laundering itself i.e. the provision of financial services; and

A requisite degree of knowledge or suspicion (either subjective or objective) relating to the source of the funds or the conduct of a client. 

The objective of the criminalisation of money laundering is to take the profit out of crime. The rationale for the creation of the offence is that it is wrong for individuals and organisations to assist criminals to benefit from the proceeds of their criminal activity or to facilitate the commission of such crimes by providing financial services to them.

While terrorists are not greatly concerned with disguising the origin of money, they are concerned with concealing its destination and the purpose for which it has been collected. Terrorists and terrorist organizations therefore employ techniques similar to those used by money launderers to hide their money.

The ability to prevent and detect money-laundering is a highly effective means of identifying criminals and terrorists and the underlying activity from which money is derived. The application of intelligence and investigative techniques can be one way of detecting and disrupting the activities of terrorists and terrorist organizations.

A GOOD FINANCIAL FRAUD EXPERT CAN DO BETTER THAN A SPY AGENT..    IN INDIA CRIMINALS  BORROWED MONEY FROM INDIAN BANKS TO FUND LTTE

A financial institution found to have assisted in laundering money will be shunned by legitimate enterprises.

An international financial centre that is used for money-laundering can become an ideal financial haven. Developing countries that attract "dirty money" as a short-term engine of growth can find it difficult, as a consequence, to attract the kind of solid long-term foreign direct investment that is based on stable conditions and good governance, and that can help them sustain development and promote long-term growth.

 Money-laundering can erode a nation's economy by changing the demand for cash, making interest and exchange rates more volatile, and by causing high inflation in countries where criminals are doing business.

Most disturbing of all, money-laundering fuels corruption and organized crime. Corrupt public officials need to be able to launder bribes, kick-backs, public funds and, on occasion, even development loans from international financial institutions.

 Organized criminal groups need to be able to launder the proceeds of drug trafficking and commodity smuggling. Terrorist groups use money-laundering channels to get cash to buy arms. 

The social consequences of allowing these groups to launder money can be disastrous. Taking the proceeds of crimes from corrupt public officials, traffickers and organized crime groups is one of the best ways to stop criminals in their tracks.

In recent years, the international community has become more aware of the dangers that money-laundering poses in all these areas and many Governments and jurisdictions have committed themselves to taking action. The United Nations and other international organizations are committed to helping them in any way they can.

Criminals are now taking advantage of the globalization of the world economy by transferring funds quickly across international borders. Money laundering is the process used to disguise the source of money or assets derived from criminal activity. 

Profit-motivated crimes span a variety of illegal activities from drug trafficking and smuggling to fraud, extortion and corruption. The scope of criminal proceeds is significant - estimated at more than 2.3 trillion worldwide each year. 

The process of laundering money may occur in a variety of ways, such as with the shrewd exploitation of a complex, interweaving web of secrecy jurisdictions and/or tax havens, the manipulation of the concept of legal persons and legal arrangements to concoct ‘shell companies’ that can operate as covers for corrupt individuals---

--- the abuse of loopholes in existing anti-money laundering legislation, the weak implementation of these rules, the corruption of authorities; all combined with the profiteer culture of numerous established financial institutions and market insiders in developed economies . 

Tax evasion undermines the efforts of the government to promote welfare and social cohesion; it prevents it from performing its social function. Moreover, it erodes the credibility of democratic institutions, while injuring the trust of citizens in the means and ends of a legitimate, democratic government.

Those who are in a better position to avoid taxation are the people who can siphon their income into foreign banks or jurisdictions, which usually means that they are better-off. 

In avoiding their duties and responsibility vis-á-vis society and the state, the tax evaders are in effect placing a greater burden on those who eventually pay off the effective costs of taxation, who are in their majority, members of the lower and middle parts of the income distribution. 

As such tax evasion fosters or widens social inequality while it produces a de facto division of citizens between privileged and non-privileged.

THIS IS A REASON WHY WE WANT THE GOVT TO GO AFTER INDIANS WHO OPERATE SHELL COMPANIES

Tax evasion provides incentives to established financial institutions as well as authorities or politicians to engage in corrupt activities, in quest of their own enrichment or other benefit.

Financial institutions/banks are interested in increasing their profits by making use of this stream of funds, even if that implies circumventing the existing rules  Authorities may be enticed to turn a blind eye in this process, so that their own position in power may be consolidated.

Low corporate tax rates, a rather minimal corporate tax base and lax supervision in relation to establishing holding companies, are strong incentives for corporations willing to avoid taxation.

Strengthen the requirements on the function of corporate directors. 

Directors should be held accountable for failing to take reasonable steps to prevent money laundering, this should apply regardless of whether they are nominees or not. 

Information of this sort should, for issues of transparency and democratic legitimacy be made publicly available to citizens, so that an additional layer of social scrutiny may be placed over corporations.

 Reconsider and reinforce the rules regarding the due diligence that corporate registries and financial institutions should perform, always on an accurate risk-based approach, in an attempt to verify that all information pertaining to the beneficial ownership is correct and that no margin for fraudulent or corrupt activity is allowed.

 Private entities such as banks must be expected to comply with comprehensive rules on this issue, so that they are fully convinced that they know whom they are dealing with and whether their wealth is of a licit or illicit origin.

ALMOST ALL FOREIGN FUNDED NGOs IN INDIA OPERATE SHELL COMPANIES

http://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/zakir-naik-got-rs-60-cr-in-foreign-funds-floated-4-shell-firms/345131/

Large corporations sometimes use shell companies to hold assets temporarily during complex mergers and acquisitions. But these vehicles are also used to hide the provenance of offshore money held by those looking to evade taxes owed in their home countries. 

This can be done by, for instance, placing bank accounts in the name of "legal owners"—companies, trusts, foundations or combinations of these—rather than natural persons. 

Further down the moral scale, shell companies are popular vehicles for moving and concealing public wealth stolen by officials and politicians (or bribes paid to them), as well as for sanctions-busting, drug-trafficking, arms-dealing and the financing of terrorism.

Many companies list names and phone numbers for its executives, staff, or board of directors on their website or in official documents, because they want customers to see the company as open and accountable. 

But the people running a phantom firm don’t want to be found and instead operate in the shadows—they don’t have websites and create as short of a paper trail as possible.

Companies can list “nominee” shareholders or board members with no visible relation to the actual owner—for instance, a lawyer or a distant relative, or people that can be hired specifically to allow their names to fill in the blanks on these forms. 

They can also list other anonymous companies or trusts in order to make it more difficult to track down the actual owner. The true owners or people in control of the company are often known to no one in the outside world other than—possibly—a law firm or incorporation agent.

Once created, anonymous shell companies do little or no actual business. Instead, they often exist and function entirely on paper, opening bank accounts and owning assets without ever revealing the name of the true person benefiting from its conduct, whether licit or illicit.

All companies should be required to disclose their ultimate, human, beneficial owner(s) when they are created, and this information should be listed in a central registry. Ideally, these registries should be freely available to the public, rather than just to law enforcement so that everyone has the ability to know with whom they are doing business.

THE BENAMI MEDIA OF INDIA RECEIVES FOREIGN FUNDS VIA SHELL COMPANIES

https://satyavijayi.com/ndtv-director-exposes-made-shell-companies-launder-money/

It is alleged that a shell company of NDTV received a three hundred and seventy-five crore rupee loan from a bank at an interest rate of 19%, and within two days 92 crore rupees were diverted to Prannoy James Roy and his wife as interest free loans.   

http://indiaarising.com/ndtvs-biggest-scam-prannoy-roy-wife-granted-92-crore-interest-free-loan/

It is also alleged that the income tax commissioner who discovered this was hounded with the help of former finance minister Chidambaram, and that one of the Enforcement Directorate’s money trails in the 2G spectrum scam leads to NDTV’s doorstep

http://vsktelangana.org/ndtv-frauds-string-of-laundering/

NDTV , the most hated media in India filed a petition before the National Green Tribunal to stop the Sagarmala project. 

This may merit a full post. 

This mega project consisted of hundred and fifty major projects along India’s coastline, which when they materialized, would save the country an estimated thirty-five thousand crores in logistics while boosting exports by an estimated hundred ten billion dollars and creating an around one crore new jobs. 

It is rather strange for a media outlet, with no expertise in any of the necessary fields, to indulge in such acts.

THE NOOSE IS AWAITING !

Statement on the “Illegitimate and Inappropriate Usage of the Provisions Related with Money Bills and Finance Bills by the Government”

More than 200 concerned citizens have expressed concern on the classification of the Finance Bill, 2017 as a "Money Bill" and appealed to Vice Predient Hamid Ansari. The statement is reproduced below:

March 29, 2017

Dear Honourable Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha,

As concerned citizens of India, we are appalled and dismayed at the Government’s use of money bills to push through important legislation that affects all citizens, without requiring approval by both houses of Parliament.

This undemocratic strategy has already been employed in the case of the Aadhaar Bill, even though it contains many provisions that go well beyond issues relating to taxation and money appropriations of the government, which will directly affect every citizen of the country in numerous ways. Despite the fact the millions of citizens will be denied their rights because of this, the Bill makes access to

many essential and other public services contingent on Aadhaar. It is already evident that making it compulsory in food distribution in some states has excluded many needy and deserving citizens without cause. The Bill allows for unprecedented surveillance of every citizen and massive invasion of privacy. These can be used by governments at different levels to target political opponents and dissidents, as well as others. Because it enables data sharing even by private companies, it renders all citizens vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, cyber-piracy, data breaches and other uses of their personal data with very serious security implications. Furthermore, the protections and cybersecurity provisions in the Bill are inadequate and do not meet the standards prevalent in most countries. Despite all these concerns, the Bill will not even be debated in the Rajya Sabha and has not been subject to adequate public scrutiny.

The most recent and alarming case of passing important and far reaching laws in the guise of money bills is the inclusion in the Finance Bill 2017 of some very important features that actually have no place in such a Bill and deserve to be independently discussed and debated. The Bill contains several provisions that will drastically increase “black money” and corruption. An important provision would enable political parties to receive unlimited and anonymous funding from corporate entities and from abroad, and will make electoral bonds anonymous. Since it is well known that political funding is ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846

probably the most important source of corruption in the country making it more opaque flies in the face of claims to greater transparency and will make matters even worse than they are at present with terrible implications for electoral democracy in the future. It is also in complete contrast to the treatment meted out to Non–Governmental Organisations and civil society groups fighting for people’s rights, who are not being allowed to receive legitimate funds on dubious grounds. 

The Finance Bill 2017 also gives sweeping powers without accountability to the Income Tax department, which can encourage extortion at all levels. Such bills, which have serious implications for democratic functioning and financial security of all citizens, require serious and extensive public discussion and debate at all levels, with knowledge of the full implications of all of their provisions. Therefore, they cannot and should not be passed as money bills. We, therefore, appeal to you to at the very least allow extensive and uninterrupted discussions into every aspect of the Bill No. 12-C of 2017 in the Upper House and put all these on

record and do everything else in your power to ensure that the practice of by–passing important bills by illegitimately classifying them as money bills is immediately stopped. We appeal to you to protect the rights and duties of the Upper House and the interests of all the people of India. These bills and the relevant provisions that cannot be described as routine in any sense, must be subject to proper democratic scrutiny in both houses of Parliament.

WE KNOW THE PEOPLE IN THIS LIST ( AND COMMIE PROFESSORS OF JNU / DU / JU / FTII / TISS ) WHO LIVE FAR BEYOND THEIR KNOWN SOURCES OF INCOME

INDIA IS IN THIS SORRY STATE BECAUSE OUR MAIN STREAM MEDIA DO NOT HAVE ANY LOYALTY TO THE WATAN. 

THEY ARE WHORES WHO SELL THEIR LOYALTY TO THIS HIGHEST BIDDER. 

COMMIE JNU STUDENTS WERE ABSORBED IN CRITICAL AREAS OF FINANCE DEPARTMENTS .  THESE ARE TRAITORS.

DO WE HAVE ANY INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IN INDIA? 

IS “STING” WITH A HIDDEN CAM INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM ?

EVEN AN ILLITERATE  HALFWIT BEGGAR ON THE STREET CAN DO THIS.

HAVE YOU SEEN MAHAMERU ECONOMISTS ON INDIAN TV ?

NONE OF THEM KNOW ECONOMICS.   THE MORE THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH THE MORE THEY SINK INTO THE PITS.

I ASK

OTHER THAN CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL ( MERE BLOGGER ) ,  HOW MANY ECONOMISTS IN INDIA OR ABROAD TOLD THAT DEMONETIZATION WONT HAVE ANY EFFECT IN INDIAN GDP GROWTH ?

THIS IS AS STUPID AS ME HAVING TO CONVINCE RUSSIANS AFTER USSR BROKE UP-

( THEY WERE UPSET THAT THERE IS NO MILK IN THE MARKET )    

I HAD TO TELL THEM—LISTEN, YOUR COWS ARE STILL WHERE THEY ARE , IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY .  THEY HAVE NOT RUN AWAY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY .. 

THEY ARE STILL GETTING MILKED—ONLY THING IS YOU ARE NOT GETTING IT ON YOUR TABLE. 

THEY INSTANTLY APPRECIATED MY CLEAR THINKING .   

THINKING IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO, RIGHT ?

Viktor Anatolyevich Bout  is a Tajik arms dealer. He used shell companies to supply arms all over the planet

In  2011, he was convicted by a US federal court of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and officials, delivery of anti-aircraft missiles, and providing aid to a terrorist organizations..

The Hollywood movie Lord of War ( Nicholas Cage  is based on  Bout's personal history and black-market activities using hundreds of  SHELL companies..

Before his arrest in March 2008, Viktor Bout, shadowy international arms dealer and war profiteer, ran a network of air cargo companies that specialize in transporting arms to conflict zones.

Bout controlled the world's largest private fleet of Antonov cargo planes with heavy airlift capacity, capable of bringing tanks and other heavy arms into difficult terrain. He has fueled dozens of the world's most murderous conflicts by shipping arms clandestinely to rebel groups.

His field of operations included Afghanistan, Angola, Congo, Liberia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Sudan. The US and UK reputedly have used Bout's services to bring shipments into dangerous zones of Iraq.   

Bout’s  companies have conducted countless trips for the United Nations ( for Jews to steal )  into the same areas where he supplied the arms that fueled the conflicts and humanitarian crises to begin with.   He has airlifted Belgian peacekeepers into Somalia, brought French troops into Rwanda..

Viktor Bout has been able to operate with impunity thanks to his many passports, different identities, and the wide support he enjoys from those in power.

In March 2008, Bout was arrested in Bangkok, while attempting to sell arms to US investigators posing as Colombian FARC rebels. The US government sought Bout’s extradition on charges of conspiring to sell weapons to a terrorist organization for use in killing Americans. 

For nearly two decades, as Bout grew infamous as the "Merchant of Death" – his unwanted nickname for the black-market weapons deals of which he was accused but long denied – the world he inhabited remained murky to outsiders.

More than 70 transcripts compiled from wiretapped meetings and conversations and scores of phone calls and text messages depict everything from his preference for lemon in tea to his use of memory cards in cell phones to disguise the trail of his phone calls.

A U.S. official said that Bout’s seized computer also contained evidence that the Russian's business empire had set up hundreds of shell companies around the world for his air cargo and other business ventures, stretching from remote South Pacific islands to the state of Montana.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Bout, a former Soviet military officer, made his fortune selling Soviet-era weaponry to Third World despots and insurgent groups.

Bout dispatched fleets of Cold War-era Soviet cargo planes to some of the most inhospitable corners of the earth, running guns for dictators, including Liberia's Charles Taylor and Zaire's Mubuto Sese Seko, as well as rebel leaders in Angola, Sierra Leone and beyond.

The indictment cites 15 aviation companies that Bout owned, including Air Cess, Irbis Air Company and Santa Cruz Imperial.. Bout's payments  included diamonds. Bout also allegedly trafficked arms for the Taliban, and his aviation services were so vast that the Pentagon contracted one of his companies to deliver goods into Iraq from 2003 to 2005.

See Pentagon deals only with GOOD people and drop only GOOD BOMBS. U.S. government contractors paid Bout-controlled firms roughly $60 million to fly supplies into Iraq in support of the U.S. war effort, according to a book about Bout called "Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Plans, and the Man Who Makes War Possible..

Bout supplied armor-piercing missiles to Hezbollah in the summer of 2006 and arms to Somali warlords.

Bout was able to do business largely thanks to a sprawling network of shell companies.   Bout maintained absolute control over these accounts, but no links to Bout could be found.

ARMS DEALERS CANNOT WORK WITHOUT SHELL COMPANIES

IN INDIA WE ARE STILL FRETTING AND  SWEATING OVER THE PURULIA ARMS DROP WHICH HAPPENED 22 YEARS AGO ..    PATHETIC !

MIYA AUR BIWEE -- BOTH RUN SHELL COMPANIES

WAAH RAAJAAA WAH 

Even when the criminals behind the shell companies get caught, the registered agents who help set them up are often left untouched -- and many continue to rake in money by registering fronts for potentially dangerous criminals. shell companies pose a threat to national security and make it nearly impossible to find the people who are actually financing terrorism and other criminal activities.  

The smartest criminals use shell companies in conjunction with their actual  actual business operations to further confuse authorities and create a false sense of legitimacy. 

The family behind Peruvian drug trafficking ring Sanchez-Paredes, for example, allegedly used a complicated combination of shell companies -- a few of which were located in Florida -- and gold mines in Peru "to layer and disguise the family's illegal cocaine proceeds for decades.. 

Luka Bojovic -- previously one of Serbia's most wanted criminals -- was reportedly involved with the assassination of Serbia's prime minister, while Darko Saric was charged by the Serbian government with trafficking more than 5,000 kilograms of cocaine.

Several of the shell companies allegedly used by these mobsters can be traced to the same registered agent: a Delaware firm named Harvard Business Services, which says on its website that it will help form more than 10,000 companies this year alone.

Harvard Business Services, has nothing to do with Harvard University

In one of the more creative schemes, the ruthless Los Zetas drug cartel used a horse ranch and a number of shell companies to conceal millions of dollars in drug money.

Here's how the money laundering operation worked:--

Jose Trevino Morales, the brother of two Los Zetas leaders -- one of whom reportedly dismembered his victims while they were still alive -- owned a horse ranch in Oklahoma where he claimed to be running a prosperous business of buying and selling race horses.

But in reality, most of the deals he made had nothing to do with horses -- some of which were fittingly named "Number One Cartel" and "Morning Cartel." In order to cover up and transfer illegal drug proceeds and make the money appear to be "clean," he and his associates would funnel it through shell companies and front men under the guise of horse sales -- making sure the cartel leaders' names were nowhere to be found.

In the end, investigators discovered that more than $22 million in drug money had been sent back to Mexico. Trevino was convicted of money laundering in 2013 and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

 Investigative journalism is of paramount importance in combating financial fraud  regard, as it performs the function of not only revealing existing crime or mischief, but also of as a DETERRENT to possible future crime. The sources of investigative journalists should at all times be kept secret in order not to jeopardise ongoing investigations and not to discourage future ones.

Proactive support of investigative journalism in these times of technological and economic transition should be considered as an amiable end, especially in respect to its crime- and corruption containing impact.   In addition, whistleblowers involved in the efforts to unearth graft andcorruption, incompetence of authorities and/or malpractices of private entities, should at all times enjoy all necessary protection and support.

Anti-money laundering and tax havens---

As there are substantial similarities between the techniques used to launder the proceeds of crime and to commit tax crimes, in May 1998 the G7 Finance Ministers encouraged international action to enhance the capacity of anti-money laundering systems to deal effectively with tax-related crimes.

In this respect the OECD's Committee on Fiscal Affairs has established a dialogue with the Financial Action Task Force and continues to examine ways of improving co-operation between tax and anti-money laundering authorities.

Joint workshops with tax and anti-money laundering officials have been held allowing experts to share experiences on some of the practices that are common to both tax evasion and money laundering. OECD work on tax crime and money laundering is designed to complement what has already been carried out by FATF.

Tax evasion and/or the unscrupulous misuse of legal loopholes in cross-border tax legislation further undermine the state's fiscal position, while it produces incentives for socially-detrimental profiteering in times of an economic downturn, it increases the chances for the corruption of officials and/or financial corporatists willing to circumvent or disobey existing rules and prevailing principles, therefore initiating a vicious cycle of mischief and illegitimacy.

The invidious effects of tax-related crime are multi-faceted, ranging from criminality to corruption, to social injustice and asymmetric, distortive economic activity. To make matters worse, such crimes also have a more profound and corrosive effect on the institutional milieu of the polity, as they erode the trust and faith citizens have in democratic institutions and in the capacity of a directly elected government to improve the life of its citizens.

A potential terrorist cannot take a flight to neighboring states without a passport or driver’s license, but they can form a shell company without any information in a matter of minutes.

The life-blood of an effective terrorist network is financing. And shell companies facilitate the easy distribution of money.

If we want to fight terrorism effectively, we should also be cracking down on terrorism financing. Given the ease and persistence of terrorist financing – particularly using shell companies – a shift in attention on financial regulations that would stop terrorism financing would be a good start.

The United States has implemented a host of measures, including the use of “terrorist designations” and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), to root out and eliminate risks in our financial institutions.

However, none of these regulations have been enacted by Congress, (  thanks to Jew Rothschild’s clout ) and so they are not binding to U.S. states.

Investigators found that  some firms were more likely to offer their assistance when we posed as terrorists than when we posed as businesses from USA ..

The common link among these individuals in Panama papers  is that they used shell companies and offshore accounts to shield their wealth from their home governments.

There is grave concern about fairness, international tax schemes and shell companies. A particular focus of the current investigation is the widespread use (and abuse) of anonymous shell companies.
