Transparency is not a threat — it’s a responsibility.

At a time when the world is grappling with the fallout from Klaus Schwab’s resignation and the financial scandal around the World Economic Forum (WEF), a new power center has emerged in the shadows: the World Economic Council (WEC), operating from a virtual office in Vienna and led by figures now tied to one of Europe’s biggest white-collar scandals — the collapse of René Benko’s Signa Group.
Today, FinTelegram publishes the WEC Dossier, a comprehensive investigation into the structure, players, and networks behind the WEC, its affiliate NGO IWS, and the finance group SilverArrow Capital. The dossier aims to do what WEC does not — provide transparency.
What’s Inside the WEC Dossier?
- The Origins and Public Persona of WEC
A deep dive into how the WEC mirrors the WEF in branding and ambition — but operates as a private limited company (GmbH), not a public NGO. - Key Individuals
Detailed profiles of WEC’s leadership: Thomas Limberger, Robert Schimanko, William H. Shawn, Peter Nußbaum, and Israeli intelligence consultant Moshe Buller. - The Benko Connection
How WEC leaders became board members of Benko’s foundations — INGBE (Liechtenstein) and Laura Privatstiftung (Austria) — just weeks before his arrest. - Gold, Foundations & Offshore Assets
The suspicious liquidation of €30 million in gold from the INGBE Foundation while Benko was in custody, and how these moves mirror past tactics in shadow finance. - Legal Tactics and Intimidation
WEC and SilverArrow’s coordinated legal pressure campaign against investigative platforms like Wiener Zocker, echoing SLAPP strategies. - The Shadow Finance Ecosystem
An inside look at how reputational capital, political proximity, and financial opacity converge through WEC and its extended network.
Why This Dossier Matters
In light of growing public mistrust in global forums and elite financial institutions, the WEC Dossier serves a vital role: to inform, document, and expose. The dossier is not an accusation — it is a fact-based resource for regulators, journalists, and citizens alike.
We believe that those who hold economic influence — especially in post-crisis Europe — must be subject to the same transparency expected of elected officials and public institutions. The WEC, despite its name and global claims, is a private enterprise with public implications.
