Question regarding this OneCoin scam:
- Do owners have some known Bitcoin or other crypto addresses they used?
Here's one from a
2016 YT vid about how to buy Gift CodesReceived over 2000BTC, still being used.
The money laundering fallout continues, based on Konstantin's testimony that
“Amer Abdulaziz, after he stole €100m from OneCoin, he started buying racehorses for, like, €25m. [He was] one of the main money-launderers for Ruja.”
AA has been very hi profile in the thoroughbred horse breeding/racing business and
the Racing Post makes a fair summary of things
Dubai-based Abdulaziz, 56, launched Phoenix Thoroughbreds in 2017 as the “world’s first regulated thoroughbred fund” and has since become one of the most high-profile figures in international racing and bloodstock, often flexing the significant financial muscle of his fund at the sales and through private purchases.
Abdulaziz has never disclosed who his investors are – citing a desire to protect his client base – other than to say they are “non-racing people”.
Apart from Konstantin's testimony, the convicted Mark Scott also referred to Phoenix's money laundering role in his very ill advised
post arrest "interview" with the Feds.
the first agreement at the
behest of the investors is called Phoenix something Investment
Fund, I think just Phoenix. And then, umm, and I have the name of
the guy that I dealt with, that I was directed to in my emails and
what. I’m going to say, Amar [phonetic] something
Scott: We paid back about umm, to Phoenix was about 190 I would say.
Somewhere around there.
7:45:11 Agent Eckel And you said the 290 million went in. What happened to the other
100 million…
Phoenix have
tweeted a "categorically deny blahblahblah"
Konstantin actually listed three main money laundering names in relation to Gilbert Armenta (Ruja's squeeze and main man, now turned state's evidence)
Mark Scott, Amer Abdulaziz and Alex Ortega
Alex Ortega? That name rings a bell from Mt Gox's insolvency, when
he offered 10% for account balances.
His "Iverson Capital" vehicle is self described as
Special Opportunity Professionals
A fairly common name tho, over 1300 on Linkedin alone. My lawyer says I'm sure it's not him.
