Gladys Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 5 minutes ago, The Phantom said: Looking (desperately) at the positives. Indeed it does at least show the controls work if they only managed to do it for a year and yes we needed a sacrifice for Moneyval. So much for the population targets and the 500 or so immigrants from China and the Philippines. I'd assumed that the Philippinos would be mostly in the Healthcare sector! The year is probably just where they have focused evidence and prosecutions. The article refers to 2021 and we know the operation was only closed down earlier this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 A big meaty report on similar and related Asian gambling scams (and other nefarious stuff). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6x1ql1yelo We get a few mentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the lawyers - Athol Streets finest, the great and the good? I’m sure the builders of the Victoria Road campus won’t have been happy - I hope they were paid?

Arguably this would probably mean that they have been involved in money laundering. I can't imagine any of the building firms have a Compliance Dept, but I suspect they can expect a visit from the FSA in the near future. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in a discussion between them!

manxkinho Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 1 hour ago, 2112 said: Bad news for those who may be owed money. Bad news for lawful companies and individuals who will now have to jump through more hoops in new legislation which no doubt will be introduced. The BBC article mentions that the Victoria Road site was cleared of trees - considering IOMG loves the environment and dick waves its green credentials so much. CM Cannan, COMIN and IOMG has well and truly been scammed. That carpet will be bigger than Snaefell soon. Undoubtedly there is much much more to this, more will come out almost certainly!
