Over the last decades, the world has witnessed increasingly massive cybercrime attacks across borders.
These crimes are facilitated by lawyers, company builders, supervised financial entities, crypto exchanges and other professionals who help engineer the legal and financial structures seen in the financial crimes.
These professionals use their professional knowledge to create opportunities to facilitate the commission and concealment of such crimes, thereby undermining the rule of law and their profession and trust in the legal and financial system.
These professional enablers play an integral role in making it easier for scammers to defraud people by offering non-transparent structures and schemes to conceal the true identity of the individuals behind the illegal activities.
With the European financial supervisory authorities being very reluctant to take decisive action against payment companies involved in fraud scams, the harm done continues.
Naming and Shaming
We decided to establish a list of the financial crime enablers we encounter in our daily work with victims.
Pls be aware that the list is an ongoing effort, so stay tuned for more.
