My name is Manfred J. Zachel, if you want to know more about the International Syndicates please read CHAPTER 5 and 6

================================================================


THE REASON WHILE I FIGHT AGAINST THIS SORT OF CRIME IS THAT THOUSANDS OF ORDINARY PEOPLE LOSE THEIR SAVINGS OR ASSETS TO THOSE FRAUDSTERS AND END UP IN POVERTY, SOME OF THEM EVEN COMMITTED SUISYDE, LOST THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, THAT HAS TO BE STOPPED.
===================================== “Project Hammer” has been rightly described as “a nondescript name of something that’s awful hard to define
The operation called “Hammer” has passed into unwritten history, but a residue of cosmic proportions remains in the off ledger nether-world of Citibank New York.
A sum of USD 223 104 000 008.03 (as at December 1991) is hidden in the limbo of daily ledger closing. It is a composite of 30 or more accounts for various people (personalities / corporations / governments,), better described as “clients “, around the world _ in one solid block at Citibank.

For each of the accounts there is said to be a broker and an investor (entity?). The investors appear to have abandoned their principle; the Brokers have never been paid any commission. Nor have the investors ever received any interest, or earnings.
The Hammer funds would be hidden in Citibank off- ledger account, escaping detection in suspense in spite of inspections. A means of evasion was to alter the account number/s to a manageable degree, with details known only to the custodian / “trustee”(sic).

Corresponding Banks to Citibank New York are, according to Wamboldt’s schematic:
Bank of America, Toronto, Canada
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Toronto, Canada
Security Pacific Bank, Los Angeles, California
Federal Reserve
Not included in Wamboldt’s schematic, but claimed for Eastech Bank and Eastcorp by Riaan Stander and Van Rooyen, (South African Citizen and Business man) and confirmed by Canadian auditors MC IVOR and Associates, is;

Bank of Mexico

A considerable amount of information has been provided by

Brigadier-General Earle COCKE Jun U S Army (retired)
A further aspect is the assertion that - especially in the 1960’s - funds were used for arms sales, as well as to generate funds for military Operations: (the Iran-Contra rebels transactions of the 1980’s has also been suggested);

A later development was the use of the funds for trading in collateral bank instruments, based on the funds.

“Individuals, corporations, and even governments. Certainly it is said, “the funds arose to the credit of people (surely not excluding public and private organisations) who had engaged in some kind of trading programme.”

Street brokers (Fraudster) work with all tricks to get hold on your money or at last on your personnel- and bank dates as can be seen below;
We, the Crime fighter, received from various sources per E-Mail offers with the possibility of very high profits;
The following further observations may be made:

and


Sir/madam
I have a premonition that you could be trusted to assist me in effecting a fund transfer into your nominated account. As such I strongly believe it that you will not sit on our fund when it finally gets into your nominated account.
You see, we are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria in order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped funds.
The source of this fund is as follows:- During the last regime here, some Government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various Ministries.
The present Government set up a Contract Review Panel and we have identified a lot of inflated Contract Funds, which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for Payment.
However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of the Panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the Panel to look for an Overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum
of US$20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) only.
Hence we are writing you this letter, we have agreed to share the money thus:
1) 25% for the account owner (you)
2) 70% for the Officials (us)
3) 5% will be for settling of taxation and all local and foreign expenses. It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the said business.
We would want you to furnish us with your full particulars such as your
Name, Telephone Numbers, Fax Numbers,Please

Best regards,
Mr Adede Anthony

CCS conference to examine fraud and money laundering

London, 3 October 2005



The 10th Annual FIB Conference will take place in London on 13th and 14th October, 2005

Everyone in business knows that financial fraud is a growing threat. The question is how best to deal with it. No financial services business is immune and now there is increasing pressure by regulators upon the industry to meet international standards of know-your-customer.

A conference of top experts on the subject, to be held in London on 13-14 October 2005, aims to provide an in-depth examination of the nature of fraud and money laundering. Actual case studies will be used to highlight the methods of criminals preying on various financial sectors.

The conference is organized by the International Chamber of Commerce’s Commercial Crime Services (CCS) division. It will be the tenth annual conference of CCS’s Financial Investigation Bureau (FIB), a specialist unit, set up in 1992, which focuses on business crime and plays an important part in the fight against fraud and money laundering.

Captain Pottengal Mukundan, Director of CCS, said: “The conference updates delegates on the modus operandi of recent financial scams and how they may be avoided. The exchange of topical information on real cases is one of the important benefits of such a meeting.

“In past years, discussion at the conference has helped bankers identify fraudsters who have approached financial institutions. It is an essential event for compliance and anti-money laundering officers of banks.” The conference will also be of interest to regulators and law enforcement agencies.

A special feature of the conference will be the launch of the ICC CCS Extranet, an online service which will provide up-to-the minute information on commercial crime to FIB members.

Black-listed Nauru banks re-emerging

London, 6 June 2005



The re-emergence of blacklisted financial institutions pose a risk to banks and investors

ICC’s Financial Investigation Bureau (FIB) is warning that several blacklisted Nauru-registered banks still appear to be in operation. In 2002, the South Pacific island was designated a money laundering concern by the US Department of the Treasury. Since that time, financial dealings between US financial institutions and any Nauru-licensed institution have been prohibited.

FIB Assistant Director Jon Merrett stated: “It appears some of the blacklisted Nauru financial institutions, which went quiet for a time, are re-emerging and are attempting to disguise their origins. No doubt they hope people will have forgotten the three-year-old designation, or perhaps believe they can persuade them they are dealing with an entirely different entity.”

The prohibition followed the introduction of the USA Patriot Act in October 2001. A number of amendments were made to the anti-money laundering provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, directly targeting some 400 offshore banks that had no physical or legal residence anywhere else in the world. The Act also addressed concerns about effective banking supervision on islands where money laundering was not a criminal offence, where no customer identification records were required, and where there was no obligation to report suspicious transactions.

As a consequence, all US financial institutions remain disallowed from opening or maintaining in the United States any account for a foreign financial institution if the account involves Nauru or any institution licensed by Nauru. The only exemption is the Bank of Nauru, which also serves as the Central Bank.

The FIB is concerned that some banks may be unwittingly trading with or maintaining correspondent relationships with blacklisted Nauru financial institutions.

Mr Merrett stated: “We have seen recent instances where US banks have failed to realise they are dealing with a Nauru bank on the US treasury list. Often the names of the blacklisted banks are the same or very similar to credible banks. Clearly, this can be confusing and is an easy trap to fall into. Given the penalties for trading with discredited financial institutions, the FIB strongly recommends taking steps to find out exactly who you are dealing with.”

To avoid confusion and reduce the risk of inadvertently compromising compliance obligations, it is recommended that concerned financial institutions contact the FIB for clarification.

The FIB has catalogued a complete list of all the Nauru banks and financial institutions named by the US Department of the Treasury. In instances where banks finds themselves dealing with one of the blacklisted financial institutions, the FIB can offer a number of protective measures including tracking assets, and or the necessary steps to exit any correspondent relationship.

To take advantage of this service, financial institutions should email fib@icc-ccs.org for full details.



Trade Finance Documents Authentication
Fake or false trade and transport documents feature in the majority of modern maritime frauds and are the greatest menace facing the international trading community.
Financial institutions, traders, insurance companies, shipping agents and other intermediaries all rely on transport documents such as Bills of Lading, Seaway Bills, Airway Bills, CMR and FCR when making decisions. A document that appears genuine can induce a bank to pay for goods or finance a trade. It can prompt an insurance company to grant cover on a ship or shipment, or indemnify a fraudulent claimant. It may lead a shipping agent to release a cargo to someone that is not entitled to it.
It is important to remember that any document can be forged. In the maritime industry, fake documents mostly copy the style of a legitimate trader and it can be difficult for a non-experienced eye to spot the difference.
With many years experience and a sound knowledge of what to look for, our Information Department has a large number of resources at its disposal that can swiftly confirm the authenticity of transport documents. We make a number of independent checks with the parties named on documents and others, and these quickly indicate whether there is a cause for concern. We will then flag this up to our member and make further enquiries to determine exactly what is wrong and, more importantly, who is responsible.
Our tried and trusted system has proved invaluable on many occasions and is one of the best ways to verify the performance of the underlying transaction.






Anjouan banks suspect

London, 19 September 2005



FIB identifies vulnerabilities in Anjouan banks



The ICC's Financial Investigation Bureau (FIB), has received numerous reports of irregularities stemming from banks registered in Anjouan, Comoros Islands, off the east coast of Africa. Specifically, the FIB has learned of several incidents where offers of trade financing, commercial lending or asset-backed lending were made against false financial instruments such as Letters of Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Bank Guarantees.

Banking regulations in Anjouan have become complicated and unpredictable following a series of conflicts internal to Anjouan financial authorities. Officals at these agencies have been accused of issuing inappropriate licences to offshore banks. It is highly probable that these offshore banks do not have sufficient assets to support the issue of certain financial instruments.

Attempts by the FIB to clarify who has the authority to issue bank licences in the area have failed. Jon Merrett, the FIB’s Assistant Director stated: “A number of people on Anjouan claim to have the authority to issue bank licences, but their credibility remains heavily suspect."

The credibility of the Anjouan banking industry has been further undermined by one discredited bank that succeeded in having its details registered in a leading business directory. The bank, which is well known to the FIB, was able to get the listing after producing financial statements and testaments of good practice.

A number of the transactions resulting from the directory listing have since been called into question. The business directory owners responded quickly to remove the listing, but it is feared that there may be many other victims who have yet to realise that their trades or loans may have no substance.

According to FIB research, the bank that managed to get itself registered in the business directory is said to have been granted a licence in 2000 and have 38 employees. Since 2003, the FIB has received numerous reports that this institution issued fraudulent, worthless Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees, often for several millions of dollars. A number of new complaints were reported to the FIB this summer. Based on these reports, the FIB is currently investigating this bank on behalf of several companies.

Mr Merrett noted, “The bank in question does not appear to have a physical location. The address stated to be in Ireland is not registered. A second Anjouan bank that had its licence revoked in 2003 is still issuing illegal documents and has recently negotiated a deal with two North Korean banks to set up another offshore institution."

Mr Merrett added, “Given the current uncertainty in this region, it is advisable that anyone having dealings with an Anjouan registered banking entity or any financial transaction connected with the island take immediate steps to verify the worth of the financial instruments involved and the credibility of the institutions or individuals they are transacting with."

The FIB provides financial investigation services to members. Non-members can find out more by contacting by email at fib@icc-ccs.org.
