Really? Canadian OSC and its dirty settlement with former Wirecard partner GMM

The Canadian-Israeli Cartu Brothers were the operators of a $165M binary options fraud scheme, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As a result, the U.S. regulator filed a fraud complaint against David Cartu, Joshua Cartu, Jonathan Cartu, and Nati Peretz, and Leeav Peretz. The Canadian regulator OSC has also taken action against the Cartu brothers for binary options fraud. But now, the Cartu Brothers can buy their way out of the OSC fraud charges for just CAD 300,000. A bargain the brothers will probably laugh about for a long time.

At the last Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) hearing in the fraud charges against David Cartu, Jonathan Cartu, and Joshua Cartu on March 25, 2021, Joshua Cartu did not appear.

The U.S. regulator has brought a fraud complaint against the Cartu Brothers for operating illegal binary options platforms that received more than $165 million from investors. While the CFTC and OSC are looking for him, Joshua Cartu posts greetings from Moscow on Instagram.

R4I – Cartu Brothers, the GMM binary options fraud, AEGIS Labs, and Kav Sheroot Tech

The Cartu Brothers - David, Jonathan, and Joshua - are very sought after people. They are currently being sued by the U.S. CFTC and Canada's OSC for alleged binary options fraud. The CFTC claims that at least $165M has been stolen from retail investors. The CFTC did not even include all of the Cartu Brothers‘ brands in the complaint. Therefore, it is likely that a multiple of this amount was processed through their GreyMountain Management scheme and other entities. We would like to learn more about AEGIS Labs, Sandbox Media, and Kav Sheroot Tech.

RIP Wirecard – Cybercrime will miss you! And BaFin too!

For all people familiar with the Wirecard case, the filing for insolvency by Wirecard announced today is no surprise. No surprise at all. It was probably the first DAX-listed company to turn belly up under the blind eyes and the protection of the German regulator BaFin and the German public prosecutor's office, causing lasting damage to the German financial market. Shame on you BaFin and you the involved German prosecutors. The failure of Wirecard is your failure too.

Wirecard Drama – Another Dubai company vanished into thin air!

The payment service provider Wirecard is not running out of negative headlines. That's for sure. The special audit report submitted by KPMG at the end of April 2020 has greatly increased the pressure on the DAX-listed German FinTech, its CEO Markus Braun, and finally its auditor EY. Since then, the share price has plummeted from more than €138 to €76.36 on May 15, 2020.

Wirecard drama continues – what about the pink elephant called money-laundering for big illegal organizations?

With the KPMG special audit report on the table Wirecard still pretends to believe that the accusations of balance sheet manipulation, irregularities in accounting, kick-back payments, and lack of transparency raised from many sides have been refuted or at least not been confirmed. The accusations of money-laundering in the context of client relationships with cybercrime organizations and scam operators are not dealt with at all. Admittedly, the scope of the special audit of KPMG did not include this pink elephant in the room.
