Wirecard had connection to Israel financial scandals(scams) : Binary Options and ICC-Cal(Israel Credit Cards Ltd, a credit card company in Israel) affair.
This is a quote from the website above :
"Wirecard processed payments for Israel’s widely fraudulent binary options industry. One of Wirecard’s former executives, Dietmar Knoechelmann, a German man who married an Israeli woman and is now a German-Israeli dual citizen, was convicted in Israel in November 2016 of abetting fraud in the ICC-Cal money laundering scandal.
The scandal was first exposed by Israel’s Globes newspaper in 2009. In 2016, Knoechelmann pleaded guilty to helping to deceive Visa and Mastercard as well as US authorities by helping to process tens of millions of dollars of payments to online gambling websites that were illegally targeting Americans. Wirecard received commissions through the end of 2017 for the processing of payments for Banc de Binary, a now-defunct Israeli binary options company that was sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in 2013 for illegally selling binary options to US customers.
Two other major clients were the Israeli-linked binary options companies Rodeler(24option) and Hoch Capital(itrader). In the course of a 2018 civil lawsuit in Israel, David Cartu, owner of the Irish payment processing company Greymountain Management, disclosed documents from the company’s liquidator showing that Wirecard was one of the acquiring banks that Greymountain Management used to process binary options payments.
According to Irish court filings, Greymountain Management processed payments for over 40 mostly Israeli binary options and forex websites including Porterfinance.com, Plustocks.com, OmegaOption.com, BigOption.com, BinaryBook.com, MortonFinance.com and Capmb.com among others.
The Israeli-Canadian David Cartu and his two brothers were charged by the Ontario Securities Commission in May of defrauding investors around the world out of $233 million. Wirecard was a central payment processor for Option888 and a network of related binary options and other online trading websites.
Between the years 2006-2010, ICC-Cal, a credit card company jointly owned by Israel’s Bank Discount and Bank Beinleumi, fraudulently processed billions of dollars worth of payments for online gambling, porn(including bestiality) and sketchy e-commerce companies.
According to the judgments in two plea bargains in the ICC-Cal affair, ICC-Cal’s Israeli employees were not at first knowledgeable or well-versed in the methods of high-risk payment processing, but were approached in 2006 or thereafter by at least three men from abroad, two Germans and a Canadian, who asked ICC-Cal to process payments on their behalf.
One of these German men was Dietmar Knoechelmann, who represented a company that aggregated gambling websites, and helped process American gambling payments through a digital wallet.
The CEO of ICC-Cal at the time, Boaz Chechik, was sentenced in 2018 to four months of community service and a fine of NIS 350,000($102,000) while his deputy Steve Greenspan was sentenced to six months of community service and an NIS 100,000($29,000) fine.
Shay Ben Asulin, another defendant in the case, was sentenced to five months of community service and a fine of NIS 1.5 million($435,000). In 2008, Ben Asuilin became one of the founders and directors of AnyOption, one of Israel’s first binary options companies."

This is about another Binary Options scam website with name traderxp.com
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63893933
This is about Wirecard scam which I already posted the link before, but I noticed something from that website.
This is a quote from the website above :
“Angela Merkel, who was chancellor at the time, even lobbied on behalf of Wirecard during a 2019 visit to China, where the company wanted to buy a firm.”
Someone from Wirecard had a meeting with someone in China to buy a firm.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/06/how-the-biggest-fraud-in-german-history-unravelled
The woman on BBC news above(Angela Merkel), someone on behalf of Wirecard met China president Xi Jinping to buy/acquire a Chinese company.
A quote from the website above :
“a German investor named Redacted had discovered irregularities on Wirecard’s balance sheet. He eventually suspected that the company was also miscoding illegal gambling transactions as legal ones, so he asked a friend in America to transfer money to a Wirecard affiliated poker site. The money went to the poker website, but on the monthly statement it showed a French online store for mobile phones.”
Someone discovered about how Wirecard manipulated the balance sheet.
I changed that person name to Redacted because I think he is not a scammer.
Another quote again :
“In 2016, a pair of short sellers in London released an anonymous, hundred page inquiry called the Zatarra Report, alleging a litany of criminal activity at Wirecard. The report occasionally veered into conspiracy theories that were unsubstantiated or simply untrue. In the ensuing months, the company spent almost four hundred thousand euros on private investigators, to unmask and humiliate the authors of the report. Before long, their e-mail inboxes were spammed with phishing links and gay porn. Their correspondences were hacked.”
It looks like Wirecard will do anything to destroy anyone who exposed their criminal activity.
Another quote again :
“Marsalek summoned Redacted to Germany for another lunch, in a private dining room, and handed him a stack of documents. They contained official Russian government talking points, addressed to the U.N.'s chemical-weapons body, casting doubt on the British investigation of the Skripal poisoning. The files marked classified also contained the chemical formula for Novichok. Where did you get these? Redacted asked. Marsalek smiled and said, Friends.”
I changed that person name to Redacted because I think he is not a scammer.
Jan Marsalek, a former COO(Chief Operating Officer) of Wirecard has connection to someone who has chemical formula for Novichok(a chemical weapon).
Another quote again :
“As a bank with no branches, Wirecard kept cash in a safe at the office, and sometimes distributed it to business partners, in sums in the hundreds of thousands of euros, by hiding it in grocery bags.”
It’s quite strange to hide money in grocery bags.
Another quote again :
“a woman on Wirecard’s Asia finance team had nervously approached Redacted, to report that her boss, Edo Kurniawan who answered to Marsalek had given a presentation in which he taught his staff how to commit serious financial crimes. Using a whiteboard and a marker, Kurniawan sketched out the practice of round-tripping, in which an amount of money is moved among several locations, as needed, to fool auditors in different jurisdictions into thinking that each supposedly unrelated account is well funded. Redacted contacted his supervisor in Munich, who told him to commission an internal investigation which turned up instances of round tripping, backdated contracts, and other illegal schemes. But when the findings reached Wirecard’s board, the concerns were quashed. I think Jan understands very well what it’s about, but they don’t shit in each other’s bed, Wirecard’s deputy general counsel wrote to Redacted, on an encrypted communications app. A few months later, Redacted was told that if he didn’t resign he would be fired.”
I changed that person name to Redacted because I think he is not a scammer.
About Edo Kurniawan, his name is also show up in here :
https://www.police.gov.sg/Media-Room/News/20231010_former_wirecard_employee_convicted_and_jailed_10_weeks_for_criminal_breach_of_trust
Another quote again :
“On February 18, 2019, Germany’s financial regulator, known as BaFin, issued a ban on creating new short bets against Wirecard, citing the company’s importance for the economy. It was at that moment that they sided with criminals, a German parliamentarian later said. The same day, prosecutors in Munich confirmed to a German newspaper that they had opened a criminal investigation. But they weren’t going after Wirecard, they were going after the F.T”
A Germany financial regulator(BaFin) tried to destroy the one who exposed Wirecard : FT(Financial Times).
Another quote again :
“Wirecard signed an agreement with Arcanum Global Intelligence, a strategic-intelligence firm whose leadership is made up of former senior British, American, French, and Israeli intelligence and military leaders.”
Basically Wirecard has connection to many high rank people in multiple countries.
Another quote again :
“Redacted had continued to investigate Wirecard’s activities in Asia. Half of its global sales appeared to come through three clients: one in Dubai, one in Singapore, and the third, called PayEasy, in the Philippines. Redacted colleague Redacted set off for Manila, to check out PayEasy. Its supposed headquarters turned out to be shared with a bus company. Another Wirecard partner, ConePay, was a private home in a remote village surrounded by rice paddies. Redacted was greeted by two Filipino men, who were grooming a small white poodle and a Pomeranian. Neither of them had heard of ConePay. Then a family member produced a few scraps of mail. One was a document from Wirecard Bank, addressed to ConePay International, showing a balance of thirty euros.”
I changed their names to Redacted because I think they are not scammers.
Another quote again :
“By now, Marsalek had fully entrenched himself in the affairs of his Russian mercenary friend, Stanislav Petlinsky. Wirecard arranged a deal with the R.S.B. Group’s holding company in Dubai, to sell the mercenaries its prepaid debit card software. In an encrypted chat with Dagmar Schneider, a senior member of Wirecard’s finance team, Marsalek wrote that if auditors had questions about R.S.B. they should call Vladimir Putin.”
R.S.B = Russian Security Systems, a private military consulting company.
This is probably means Russia president Vladimir Putin was involved with Wirecard.
Another quote again :
“a British former undercover cop, who now works as a private investigator and goes by Jon, was hired to work for a client who had set up temporary residency at the Dorchester hotel, in London. The client was well built, with close cropped hair and an even stubble. He was of Libyan background, but had grown up in France, spoke flawless English, and tipped the hotel staff with high denomination notes. He wanted countersurveillance on himself when he was in the U.K., to make sure that no one was following him. His(Jon) clients include businesses, government agencies, and billionaires, and his duties range from spying on philandering spouses to helping international criminal gangs insure that a stolen passport can be used to get a murderer across a border. After a couple of months, Jon found the man’s full name, Rami El Obeidi, and learned that he had briefly served as the head of foreign intelligence for Libya’s transitional government, during the revolution. He was apparently a major Wirecard investor, and a regular visitor to Marsalek’s secret mansion near the Russian consulate in Munich.”
There is something I noticed : helping international criminal gangs insure that a stolen passport can be used to get a murderer across a border.
Maybe that Jon knew about Cambodia scammers?
Because Cambodia scammers stole victims passports before they forced victims to work as scammers.
Another quote again :
“Wirecard, now emboldened, delegated legal authority to the Arcanum officers to act on its behalf in any such way that they consider necessary and lawful. Arcanum’s vice chairman at the time, Keith Bristow who had served as the first director-general of the U.K.'s National Crime Agency met with the Financial Conduct Authority, as part of Wirecard’s effort to get the agency to investigate the F.T. (The F.C.A. declined to comment on its relationship with Arcanum.)”
It seems Wirecard tried to destroy Financial Times before they can publish their findings about Wirecard scam/fraud to the public.
Another quote again :
“El Obeidi hired twenty eight operatives to set out on the streets of London, on a mission called Palladium. The ground team was led by Hayley Elvins, a former MI5 officer, and the operatives communicated with one another through a private walkie talkie channel. There were a number of targets all short sellers in London.”
El Obeidi, a major Wirecard investor has connection to some high rank people like a former MI5 officer.
Based from the info on google, MI5(Millitary Intelligence section 5) is a special agent to gather information, analyze and work together with the authority to prevent terrorist attack. But in this case, a former MI5 officer was working for a Wirecard investor?
Another quote again :
“In June, 2020, the leadership plotted a takeover of Deutsche Bank an acquisition so huge that Wirecard’s balance sheet fraud might be buried in the deal. The auditors focussed on two bank accounts in the Philippines, which purportedly held the missing two billion euros. Covid restrictions complicated the auditors ability to visit the banks in person, so Wirecard reportedly hired Filipino actors, posing in fake bank cubicles, to attest to the funds on a video call. But the auditors persisted, and asked Wirecard to prove that it controlled the funds by transferring four hundred million euros to one of its accounts in Germany. When Wirecard failed to perform the transfer, the auditors contacted the Philippine banks directly both of which replied that Wirecard’s accounts did not exist. Days later, Braun was required to announce the auditors findings. Wirecard’s share price plummeted eighty per cent, and the company was soon forced into bankruptcy.”
From what I understand, Wirecard tried to get money from banks in Philippines, but auditors asked them to prove if they are the owner of those money. Wirecard failed to prove it and Philippines banks said Wirecard bank accounts didn’t exist. I assumed Wirecard tried to take money from Philippines banks which was not their money?
Another quote again :
“Olaf Scholz, Angela Merkel’s finance minister, who oversaw BaFin, told the parliamentary inquiry that he bore no direct responsibility for what had taken place under his watch. Later that year, he became the Chancellor of Germany.”
Something strange in here, Angela Merkel finance minister became the Chancellor of Germany.
Another quote again :
“Oliver Bellenhaus, who ran Wirecard’s fake partner in Dubai, recently testified that the company’s partnerships in Asia were a sham right from the beginning.”
Maybe that means Wirecard subsidiaries in Asia were used for something else like money laundry?
Another quote again :
“Marsalek routinely used his power to override Wirecard’s very, very small compliance department to issue bank accounts, credit cards, and debit cards to Russian oligarchs who were on European financial blacklists. Germany was, and still is, the money laundering saloon of Europe. Only the biggest washing machine broke. At his secret mansion near the Russian consulate, he regularly hosted gatherings with government officials and spies. They came from Russia, Austria, and Israel but never, it seems, in any official capacity. Marsalek’s name was found on a list of possible seed investors in a company that would buy the remains of Cambridge Analytica, the data collection firm that was mired in scandal for its role in influencing elections.”
This is probably means Marsalek has connection to many high rank people in Russia, Austria, Israel.

Scammers from Indonesia(Indra Kesuma/Indra Kenz, Doni Salmanan) were involved with Binomo and Quotex(another Binary Options trading scam app).
They lured other people to invest in Binomo and Quotex.
This is a quote from the website above :
“Binomo is registered to Dolphin Corp, a company in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, while Quotex is registered in the Seychelles. Police say Salmanan and Kesuma have refused to confirm whether they are working for anyone else”

This is about Binomo trading scam in Nigeria.
This is a quote from the website above :
“On April 26 the Stanford Internet Observatory began investigating scam social media accounts targeting individuals in Nigeria. These scam accounts impersonate binary option trading companies. Most of these fraudsters appear to be based in Nigeria, and target Nigerians.”
Because I found out Binomo is a Binary Options scam trading website/app, so I think those Nigerian scammers were working together with scam companies like Binomo, not impersonated them.
Some scam websites listed on the website above :
mindtrade.uk
bifxtrade.com
7bforex.com

https://www.thatsucks.com/review/binomo-suck/
Those are some info about Binomo is a scam company/website.
There is another company related to Binomo : Pollack Trade LTD, a payment agent of Dolphin Corp.
Pollack Trade LTD address is Georgi Sava Rakovski St. 96, Sredets Region, Sofia Municipality, Sofia 1000, Republic of Bulgaria.
https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/binomo-fx-trading
I think this is another Binomo scam, but with different company name, website.
Scam company name :
Binomo Fx Trading.
Address :
Unit 1 Lancaster Court, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, HP12 3TD.
Scam website :
binomofxlimited.com
https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/binomo-a-scam-broker-working-with-the-help-of-ecommpay-and-finacom.65470/
This is about a victim of Binomo from Brazil who explained how Binomo scammed him.
The victim said Binomo has 4 companies behind it : Stagord Resources Ltd, Binomo Limited, Tiburon Corporation Limited, Dolphin Corp. He also mentioned 2 other companies : Ecommpay and Finacom.
The other scam websites which are mentioned on the website above :
bifxtrade.com
rivabroker.com
Dolphin Corp address is First Floor, First St. Vincent Bank Ltd Building, James Street, Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
That address is the same address with BeforexCapital/BeForex Capital address :
https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/beforex-capital
This is a short version of some info about BeforexCapital/BeForex Capital and the connection with Wirecard which I posted before :
https://fintelegram.com/lithuanian-compliance-issue-or-why-globalnetint-is-grateful-for-its-penalization/
Payment processor of BeforexCapital/BeForex Capital was GlobalNetInt.
GlobalNetInt is a part of FCA regulated MoneyNetInt group.
MoneyNetInt group is controlled by 4 Israeli payment veterans : Raphael Golan, Gil Trif, Nissan Trif, and Yishai Trif.
https://fintelegram.com/wirecard-finolita-and-the-lithuanian-connection/
Senjo Group is the owner of PXP Financial, a company which has a cooperation with MoneyNetInt.
Senjo Group received a loan of €350m from Wirecard in March 2020.
Wirecard had 3 partners : Senjo Group, PayEasy, Al Alam.
I think this means Binary Options scams like Binomo, Aldaniti have connection to Wirecard because the company behind Binary Options scams like Binomo is Dolphin Corp which has the same address with BeforexCapital/BeForex Capital.
I found Aldaniti from a spam email which is also mentioned about The Digital Bulldogs with address L4-E-2, Level 4, Enterprise 4, Technology Park Malaysia, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, 57000, Malaysia. That address is the same with Elon Musk scam websites :
https://www.myantispyware.com/2023/03/06/elon-musk-giveaway-scam/
Someone on scammer info said Elon Musk scammers are Nigerian scammers :
https://scammer.info/t/used-grabify-on-a-scammer/86970
So I think Ahmed Olabisi Ajayi and his group knew about Wirecard(possibly involved) and other scams related to it.
