walker Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 Costa Rican arrested in Spain for alleged financial crimesArthur Budovsky Belanchuk, 39, on Friday was arrested in Spain as part of a money laundering investigation performed jointly by police agencies in the United States and Costa Rica.Costa Rican prosecutor José Pablo González said Budovsky, a Costa Rican citizen of Ukrainian origin, has been under investigation since 2011 for money laundering using a company he created in the country called Liberty Reserve.Local investigations began after a request from a prosecutor’s office in New York. On Friday, San José prosecutors conducted raids in Budovsky's house and offices in Escazá, Santa Ana, southwest of San José, and in the province of Heredia, north of the capital. Budovsky's businesses in Costa Rica apparently were financed by using money from child pornography websites and drug trafficking.New York convictionAccording to records from the U.S. Justice Department, on July 27, 2006, Budovsky and a partner identified as Vladimir Kats were indicted by the state of New York on charges of operating an illegal financial business, GoldAge Inc., from their Brooklyn apartments.They had transmitted at least $30 million to digital currency accounts worldwide since beginning operations in 2002.The digital currency exchange, GoldAge, received and transmitted $4 million between Jan. 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006, as part of the money laundering scheme.Customers opened online GoldAge accounts with limited documentation of identity, then GoldAge purchased digital gold currency through those accounts; the defendants' fees sometimes exceeded $100,000.Customers could choose their method of payment to GoldAge: wire remittances, cash deposits, postal money orders or checks.Finally, the customers could withdraw the money by requesting wire transfers to accounts anywhere in the world or by having checks sent to any identified individual.Budovsky and Kats were sentenced to five years in prison for engaging in the business of transmitting money without a license, a felony violation of state banking law, but got probation.Sursa:Costa Rican arrested in Spain for alleged financial crimes / News Briefs / More news / Costa Rica Newspaper, The Tico Times Quote

laz Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 si asa se duce pe pula o mare afacere online...De acum va cam lasati de ilegalitati Quote
Intenso Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 De acum va cam lasati de ilegalitati De acum o sa se lase si de dat tzepe... pe paypal se afla datele personale rapid si nu cred ca se mai risca ' hekerii ' ca pentru 50$ sa isi primeasca dreptul de smecheri )) Quote
babyface Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 Eu nu cred k se va lasa lumea de ilegalitati atata timp cat salariu minim pe economie nu depaseste 200eur. Numai tigarile sunt 80-90 eur lunar..Stai linistit ....ca intr-o saptamana maxim 2 se muta luamea la Paypal. Un buletin naspa si ai facut 2-3 conturi bancare sau cc-uri si gata ai 3 conturi Paypal....dupa care iti retragi banii linistit. Atunci cand un roman de rand va ajunge sa castige 700-800eur lunar sunt sanse de 10% sa se lase lumea de ilegalitati, de parca nu a-ti sti ca romanul e facut sa ''dribleze munca'' ;)Bafta multa in ceeace faceti.(legal sau mai putin legal) Quote
