This page lists the banks and the shell companies (“Trade Limiteds”) known to us, through which the fraudulent companies routed victims’ money. Each shell company is shown with the bank that received the funds, that bank’s SWIFT / BIC code, and the total amount received.
As a rule of thumb, such a company is used for money payments for about 2 – 3 months. After that, the fraudsters switch to another company registered exclusively for the purpose of money laundering. Since there is apparently neither a functioning control system in Hong Kong that critically examines the sense and business purpose of such companies, nor have the resident banks (e.g. HSBC Hong Kong and Bank of China) established any functioning measures regarding global standards on the subject of money laundering and KYC (Know Your Client), the gangsters are thus on the safe side.
