Seriously? Cyprus plans to become a cybercrime training camp for law enforcement agents!

One thing is sure. Cyprus is a stronghold of international cybercrime and thrives on scam tourism. One could almost say that Cyprus is firmly in the hands of Israeli financial entrepreneurs and Russian money-laundering principals. Dozens of only Israeli-controlled CySEC-regulated investment firms (CIFs) have their registered offices and headquarters in Limassol. Moreover, cybercrime-facilitating marketing firms and payment processors like BridgerPay or Praxis Cashier call Cyprus home. Now Cyprus also wants to become a global hub for the fight against cybercrime. Really now?
