The U.S. Government claims that Yossi Herzog, Kobi Cohen and their co-conspirators fraudulently operated the Yukom Scheme and defrauded tens of thousands of victims worldwide by some $150 million. The indictment alleges that the defendants and their co-conspirators all worked the Israel-based Yukom Communications Ltd, a purported sales and marketing company owned by Cohen and Herzog. The company vanished since then as did Herzog and Cohen. Law enforcement wants them urgently.
The Israeli Lee Elbaz is a perpetrator and a victim. As former CEO of the binary options scam operator Yukom, she was found guilty of binary options fraud by a U.S. jury. The court sentenced her to 22 years in prison and now a $28 million settlement. Elbaz is a victim of her greed and wrong judgments in the first place. But for sure she is the victim of her 20 years older mentor Yossi Herzog, a notorious forex veteran, and the schemes owner, principal as well as its mastermind. He is also charged by U.S. prosecutors but remains at large. He needs to be tried to find justice for the victims.
FinanceFeeds today reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a motion for entry of default against the alleged Israeli scam broker Yossi Herzog and a number of entities and individuals involved in the fraudulent activities of his Yukom Communications Ltd.
