Another info about Wirecard connection to companies in many countries and other scams related to it :
This is about the death of PayEasy Solutions(a company which has connection to Wirecard) owner :
A quote from the website above :
"The death of Christopher Bauer, 44, was reported to a civil registry in Manila last week. In June, Philippine authorities said they were investigating him and his wife, Belinda Bauer, in a probe involving Wirecard’s partner businesses.
The Bauers were the owners of PayEasy Solutions, a Manila-based payments processor that was a key business partner for Wirecard, accounting for €291.4m of the German payment group’s reported revenue of €2bn in 2018 and more than a fifth of its operating profit.
The Bauers - identified in an Financial Times investigation last year - owned PayEasy as of 2017, according to public filings, and have represented Centurion Online Payment International, a second partner business, in interactions with Wirecard.
Mr Bauer, who told auditors from KPMG that he was a Wirecard employee before joining PayEasy some 12 years ago, also owned Froehlich Tours, a bus and coach rental business that shares an office with PayEasy in Manila."
I suspect Wirecard was involved with the death of Christopher Bauer because his cause of death is unclear and his parents declined to comment.
This is some info of Wirecard partners :
A quote from the website above :
"A retired seaman living quietly with his extended family of 12 in a suburb of the northern Philippine city of Cabanatuan, he had no idea why a company called ConePay International had used his address.
Addressed to ConePay, the letter had arrived in the mail about a year ago, a single missive from an entity called Wirecard Bank. It was a 10-page set of statements for empty German bank accounts held in a string of currencies - Australian, Canadian and Singaporean dollars and British pounds.
For instance, a predecessor of ConePay, Maxcone, gave as its address in 2015 what is currently an empty warehouse and office on a scruffy street in the southern Metro Manila city of Las Pinas, formerly occupied by a garage called Sam’s Autoworx and a bar called Hrai. When visited by FT reporters earlier this year, the local government office responsible for business permits knew of no payment company ever operating in its district.
The registered office of two other Wirecard partners, Centurion Online Payment International and PayEasy Solutions, is found in an office building by Manila Bay, in Metro Manila’s city of Pasay. While PayEasy logos are plastered over the office, the space doubles up as the headquarters of Froehlich Tours, a bus and coach rental business that operates across the country.
Maxcone (ConePay) and Centurion nature, their merchants are all porn and gambling company Wirecard cannot process so refer to them, a senior member of Wirecard’s Singapore finance team told a colleague on February 12, 2018. Better keep it a secret, she added, in correspondence seen by the FT.
For instance, Centurion was expected to process payments for a collection of Japanese adult websites, according to information provided by whistleblowers. Wirecard paid €12m for these customer relationships in 2011, a side deal to its purchase of what became Wirecard Singapore.
Centurion and Maxcone - along with the other Philippine entity, PayEasy - also received “special” status on a spreadsheet sent to Stephan von Erffa, Wirecard’s deputy chief financial officer, in July 2017. The document listed €210m of commercial debts known as receivables owed to six Wirecard businesses in India, Germany, Ireland, Dubai, Singapore and Gibraltar.
It is unclear what made the debt “special”. A client of PayEasy referred to in Wirecard documents was Escalion, a Luxembourg payments business in the Docler group of companies behind Live Jasmin, a popular adult site."
That pattern(a company using a fake address) is like Aldaniti, Pulpower, Trigoss.
This is about Wirecard partners which gave huge profit to Wirecard :
A quote from the website above :
"Half of the worldwide revenue and almost all of the reported profits of Wirecard, the German payments group that is battling an accounting scandal, have come from only three opaque partner companies in recent years, according to documents seen by the Financial Times.
Much of these profits from the three partners were booked through Wirecard’s largest business, CardSystems Middle East, in Dubai in 2016 and 2017, according to whistleblowers who said accounts for the unit were not audited in those years.
Al Alam Solutions, a Dubai-based payments processor with skeletal operations in the emirate, is the largest of the three “partner” entities. Wirecard refers clients to Al Alam in return for a share of any processing fees as commission. A former Al Alam employee said the business had six or seven staff in total and the boss was Oliver Bellenhaus, a Wirecard executive.
The other partners are PayEasy Solutions, a Philippine payments group that shares an office with a Manila bus company, and Singapore-based Senjo.
Al Alam’s business was routed through CardSystems and Wirecard UK & Ireland, the group’s next most profitable subsidiary, according to material seen by the FT. Until last year the Irish business was audited by a small local company, BCK.
The spreadsheet tallying figures for Senjo, Al Alam and PayEasy was created by Kai Oliver Zitzmann, a Wirecard employee in Munich, who sent it in July 2017 to Mr Kurniawan in Singapore. The young Indonesian then pulled together a list of commercial debts he described as special items in an email to his immediate boss in Munich, Stephan von Erffa, Wirecard’s deputy-chief financial officer.
When the FT visited the Al Alam Dubai office in the Internet City technology park during business hours in recent weeks it was empty on the first occasion, and staffed by two people on the second. On Tuesday afternoon this week a lone IT employee was there, working on the servers, who said the people in charge would be back next week.
Al Alam clients listed in the document included Russian payments processors, a gambling site, various online marketing agencies and an operation trading contract for difference securities - a way of betting on currency markets.
The document also detailed Al Alam business with Banc de Binary, an online gambling entity that has faced concerted action from US regulators. Although Banc de Binary surrendered its Cyprus brokerage licence in January 2017, and said it had ceased trading soon after, Wirecard recorded that Al Alam processed €3m to €7m of transaction volumes for Banc de Binary every month throughout 2017."
I noticed something from that quote : technology park in Dubai.
So far I found 2 Wirecard locations in technology park : Malaysia and Dubai.
I don’t know if there is a special reason or not why Wirecard partners/subsidiaries location is in technology park.
This is additional info about Oliver Bellenhaus, Al Alam, ConePay :
Someone on the website above said Oliver Bellenhaus had his own website : bellenhaus.com and he created Al Alam Solutions website the same day he set up bellenhaus.com.
Another info is about ConePay(Wirecard partner in Philippines).
A quote from the website above :
“ConePay.com was registered using a German mobile number, by a German incorporation agent based in the Philippines. It’s not normal that a Philippines financial company would use a German incorporation agent.”
This is some info about Senjo Group :
https://fintelegram.com/key-witness-casts-doubt-on-wirecards-alleged-billion-dollar-asian-transactions/
A quote from the website above :
"The spotlight turned to the Japanese national Yoshio Tomiie, the former head of Senjo, a key partner in Wirecard’s operations, as he took the stand in the Munich court.
Senjo, which supposedly played a pivotal role in processing payments for Wirecard, was mentioned in connection with large companies like Burger King and British Airways. However, Tomiie, in his testimony, was skeptical about such contracts, stating, “I don’t think we had any contracts with them.” This revelation questions Senjo’s operational capability, hinting at a lack of necessary structures, technology, and staff to handle such transactions.
Tomiie’s role in Senjo, despite being listed as a management board member and allegedly signing contracts with Wirecard, appears to be minimal, according to his account. He downplayed his involvement, suggesting that Marsalek and British businessman Henry O’Sullivan were the real forces behind Senjo."

This is some info about NomuPay(a payment processor from Ireland which has connection to Wirecard) :
https://fintelegram.com/update-nomupay-group-doing-business-with-wirecard-assets/
A quote from the website above :
"NomuPay took over essential parts of the collapsed Wirecard and is also said to have taken over the business from Payvision.
NomuPay was established in 2021. It was co-founded by Finch Capital, an Amsterdam-based venture firm, which also funded the company’s acquisition of assets from the collapsed German Wirecard. Shortly after its foundation, NomuPay took over Wirecard Turkey and parts of the Wirecard APAC organization.
Peter Burridge is the Group CEO, Owen Burke is the group’s financial officer, and Erik Hogenkamp is active as COO of the Group. NomuPay has also established a Board of Industry Visionaries that includes Juan Benitez, Lisa Shields, Jeff Parker, and Radboud Vlaar, managing partner of Fintech Capital.
Over the last 18 months, the Nomupay Group has announced some milestones:
In April 2022, the NomuPay Group acquired the New Zealand payment processor KlickEx, although no details of the purchase price were disclosed.
At the end of 2022, NomuPay acquired the licensed payment institution Cardinity and renamed it NomuPay Europe.
In March 2023, NomuPay Ireland announced that it had raised $53.6 million in a funding round co-led by Finch Capital and Outpost Ventures. We believe this sum includes all investments made directly in NomuPay or one of the acquired entities in the past."

The link below mentions about the mastermind behind NomuPay :
https://fintelegram.com/whistleblower-request-high-risk-payment-processor-nomupay-wirecard-and-payvision/
A quote from the website above :
“One of the masterminds behind NomuPay is said to be Payvision founder and former CEO Rudolf Booker, a/k/a Rudy Booker.”
Some info about Payvision :
A quote from the website above :
“Billing Payvision as a “huge payment service provider for the scamming industry” the EFRI(European Funds Recovery Initiative) has produced a stack of documents from legal proceedings against boiler room operatives that appear to show close links to former Payvision CEO Rudolph Booker.”
Payvision is branded as Netherlands Wirecard. I think that is correct because there is a connection between Payvision and Wirecard :
https://fintelegram.com/payvision-founder-rudolf-booker-and-his-desperate-legal-intimidation-and-defamation-to-silence-efri/
A quote from the website above :
“Rudolf Booker became a friend of Uwe Lenhoff, the German principal of a vast cybercrime organization.”
https://fintelegram.com/exposed-fca-regulated-moneynetint-involved-in-big-style-money-laundering/
A quote from the website above :
“The law enforcement investigations revealed that Lenhoff’s organization laundered a significant portion of the loot through MoneyNetInt.”
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.
So that is a connection between Payvision and Wirecard.
This is about Wirecard connection to porn industry :
https://fintelegram.com/new-reports-about-wirecards-porn-business/
A quote from the website above :
"Commerzbank terminated the relationship with the Luxembourg-based porn empire Manwin(later Mindgeek) because of the reputational risks. Manwin earned its money with scandal-ridden porn sites like PornHub or YouPorn, the head of the company was also involved in a tax scandal at the time.
At Wirecard, however, the German offshoot of the porn company was “welcomed with open arms.” According to the insider, Wirecard remained the house bank until at least 2015. The Wirecard account manager would have made many things possible for Manwin that other banks would have waved off for compliance reasons.
Wirecard was still processing payments for 4,000 porn and dating websites even in 2017 and generated such high margins in the process that experts suspected this could be money laundering."
Maybe Wirecard had access to many gay porn websites to spam victims emails like on the news below :
There is a post on scammer info which mentioned Mindgeek :
Another info about connection between Wirecard and porn industry :
https://fintelegram.com/interesting-the-wirecard-porn-merchants-are-part-of-the-defense-strategy-in-wirecard-trial/
A quote from the website above :
"Several former Wirecard porn customers, on whom Markus Braun’s defense lawyers are basing their defense line, are the subject of police investigations or court proceedings in the United States and Europe. Among other things, they are accused of facilitating rape, sex trafficking, and child pornography. These customers include MindGeek, MG Billing, and Netlook.
Former Wirecard top executives Ruediger Trautmann and Dietmar Knoechelmann are massively involved in porn and gambling with their Cypriot-German high-risk payment processor Payabl and are experiencing explosive growth rates. With customers like the operators of StripChat or xHamsterLive, Payabl makes a significant part of its business. In addition, there are online casinos and gambling sites whose activities are legally questionable."
Some posts on scammer info which mentioned StripChat :

This is about Nigerian scammers with connection to scammers in Malaysia :
A quote from the website above :
“Osuji led a network of scammers in Malaysia and elsewhere in a sophisticated business email compromise scheme to defraud victims of millions of dollars.”
Scammer name is Okechuckwu Valentine Osuji. He was working together with John Wamuigah and Tolulope Bodunde.
Because the news mentions about Nigerian scammers and scammers in Malaysia, I suspect they have connection to Ahmed Olabisi Ajayi group.
A quote again :
“Please note that defendants are believed to have used the following accounts in perpetuation of their crimes (partially redacted where necessary, to obscure the names of stolen identities):
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

[email protected]”
This is about a Nigerian scammer tried to escape to Malaysia but failed :
Scammer name is Hope Olusegun Aroke.
His college name is Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia.
The scam is romance scam.
From the news above, it looks like he was in Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria when he got caught.
I suspect he has connection to Ahmed Olabisi Ajayi group because he tried to escape to Malaysia, not to another country.
