While Gal Barak today, August 26, 2020, has another day of proceedings in the Vienna Cybercrime Trials, the forced liquidation of GPay, which had already been ordered by the UK High Court on June 23, 2020, was registered at Companies House. In the public interest based on the investigations of the UK Insolvency Service. A formal act but one with symbolic effect. GPay was one of the main vehicles in the money laundering machine of Gal Barak and its E&G Bulgaria.
The second day of the Vienna Cybercrime Trials against Gal Barak, the alleged Israeli principal of an international cybercrime organization and operator of numerous broker scams, brought remarkable findings. The prosecutors confronted Barak with payment transactions of the various companies of Barak's cybercrime organization. At the center of these transactions was the notorious GPay Ltd. And, oh yes! Barak was not the boss, he said. He just liked the offices in Sofia.
On July 8, 2020, probably the biggest European financial cybercrime trials ever starts in Vienna. Prosecutors charge Gal Barak, one of the major Israeli binary options and broker scammers, of investment fraud and money-laundering. With his scam brands XTraderFX, SafeMarkets, Golden Markets, CryptoPoint, or OptionStars he has defrauded tens of thousands of victims in Europe. Right before the trial UK authorities closed down the cybercrime organization's money-laundering hub.
