it2b [Bot] > PInow: Investigator Offers Free Help in Bones Mystery
2009-03-19 23:01
Albuquerque Police and the Office of the Medical Investigator are still working to identify eight of the 13 skeletons found buried on Albuquerque's West Mesa. Now, a private investigator is offering free help to people who wonder if a missing member of their family might be one of the unknown eight.

The investigator said families can get answers by giving police what they need to make a positive identification, and he's going to help them do that.

"We saw all the bodies found, we have several missing persons cases of young ladies that age and our clients were calling us, saying could our loved ones be there," Dr. George Walker said.

it2b [Bot] > Asset Search: Forced Collections Against A Fraudster Like Madoff
2009-03-21 15:50
Forced collection proceedings against a fraudster like Mr. Bernard Madoff can involve an extraordinary number of prospective plaintiffs with competing interests in the fraudster's assets. In Mr. Madoff's case, some of these plaintiffs competing over assets might even include foreign governmental authorities seeking asset forfeiture because of Mr. Madoff's money laundering in the United Kingdom or perhaps elsewhere.





Another prospective plaintiff in Mr. Madoff's case, is Irving H. Picard, Trustee for the liquidation of Mr. Madoff's assets on behalf of thousands of victims, pursuant to the Securities Investor Protection Act and the Court's Order. As "Madoff Trustee Seeks to Recover Assets in Gibraltar" reported, Mr. Picard just made a bankruptcy court filing seeking to retain special counsel to recover property in Gibraltar which belongs to Madoff.





Given all of the foregoing, I asked Swiss counsel to examine some of the complexities in pursuing forced collection proceedings against a fraudster like Mr. Madoff. My discussion with Swiss counsel was based on the hypothetical that someone similar to Mr. Madoff had hidden assets in Switzerland. Swiss counsel's comments are as follows:





"Complex forced collection proceedings may combine several competing recovery actions involving civil, criminal and administrative recovery remedies. To add to the complexity, these actions may be originated in various jurisdictions.





To take a concrete example, I am currently representing a client who was the victim of a fraud perpetrated in a far-eastern country. A criminal action against the perpetrator of the fraud was conducted in this country. The proceeds of the crime were transferred by the fraudster to the US where the fraudster managed to escape.





The fraudster was arrested at the request of the far-eastern country and sat in jail for three years for extradition purposes. Ultimately, he was extradited to that country and has now been sentenced to several years’ imprisonment.





The defrauded client chose to file a complaint for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, active concealment and several other counts including a RICO action against the fraudster in a Californian court.





The US attorney sought from a district court, an arrest warrant in rem of several assets in the US and also of funds deposited in a bank in Geneva.





The US Department of Justice sought judicial assistance from the Swiss authorities to enforce the arrest warrant in rem. Provisional measures were taken by the Swiss Federal Office of Justice blocking the funds on a provisional basis.





Meanwhile, the US district court rejected the action in rem essentially for procedural reasons. The court considered that the means of proof were insufficient essentially because the testimonies were not sworn according to US rules, although the testimonies were emanating from witnesses in the far-eastern country where the procedural rules are obviously different from the ones in California.




In Switzerland, the account holder challenged the interim blocking measure of his account on the grounds that the in rem action in the US was not equivalent to a criminal confiscation under Swiss law.





The Supreme Court ruled in an interim judgement that the in rem action as it exists in the US may be equivalent to a confiscation procedure under Swiss criminal law.





In order to avoid the risk that ultimately the Swiss authorities released the funds if the in rem action in the US was to be finally rejected by the US courts, the client decided to seek a civil attachment procedure in Geneva. The Court of First Instance granted the attachment but the appellate jurisdiction rejected it on the grounds that the US district court had rejected the in rem action sought by the US attorney and that therefore it was not evident that the client had a claim against the fraudster.





In order to avoid that the funds be released, the client filed for a criminal complaint for money laundering and the funds were then blocked under an order of the Attorney General in Geneva. The claim of money laundering is being investigated and the funds remain blocked.





Meanwhile, the fraudster had been extradited to the far-eastern country and sentenced to several years of imprisonment.





On the basis of this new fact, and for want of a final decision of the US courts as to whether the action in rem is enforceable or not, we are considering filing a new arrest request on the grounds that it is now established that the fraudster has finally been sentenced and that the funds blocked in Geneva have no other origin than from the criminal activity committed by the fraudster. It should be noted that the rules on asset tracing in Switzerland are less rigid than they are in the US and that therefore the chances of blocking, confiscating and recovering the funds in Switzerland look better than in the US.





In the instant matter, the far-eastern criminal prosecution authorities might have requested the confiscation of the assets by way of judicial assistance in the frame of the criminal investigation conducted in that country. They did not choose to do so, mainly because of ignorance of the rules of international judicial assistance. If they had chosen to do so, Switzerland would most likely have returned the funds to that country, rather than to the US because the far-eastern jurisdiction had primary jurisdiction over the case. It could have been however that the US authorities would have succeeded in obtaining the proceeds under the judicial assistance request since they were the first country to request judicial assistance from Switzerland.





In presence of competing claims, the criminal arrest has precedence over the civil arrest.





To complicate the issue, you might even imagine that the fraudster filed for bankruptcy in which case the receiver may try to block the funds by extending the effects of receivership to Switzerland. Swiss international private law allows for the enforcement of foreign bankruptcy in Switzerland on the assets belonging to the bankrupt estates in Switzerland. However in such a case, if the funds to be blocked have a criminal origin, they will be confiscated and will serve primarily to indemnify the victims of the fraud.





The funds confiscated under Swiss criminal investigations will normally be shared only among the plaintiffs who take part in the criminal action. If there is a competition between a civil attachment and a criminal attachment, the criminal attachment will have precedence over the civil attachment and also over a claim which may be asserted by the receiver of the bankrupt estate who enforced the bankruptcy on the assets found in Switzerland.





As you can see, the issues at stake are extremely complex. The bottom line however, is that the plaintiff who can establish that he has been the victim of a criminal act has better title to the assets as long as it can be established that the assets are the proceeds of the crime."

it2b [Bot] > PInow: Florida Association of Private Investigators Deplores Reports of Unlicensed Activity
2009-03-27 20:59
While refraining from speculation regarding the Caylee Anthony murder case, the Florida Association of Private Investigators, Inc. (FAPI) is speaking out about the activities of the private investigators allegedly working for the Anthony family and their defense attorney having possibly violated of Florida statutes. FAPI, which represents about 400 Private Investigators in Florida and across the U.S., reacted strongly to news reports today about and the publication of a deposition involving one the PIs working the Anthony case.

Mark Feegel, who is Co-president of FAPI and a licensed Private Investigator since 1993, along with Chuck Chambers, said, “This is exactly the type of activity FAPI tries to prevent,” says Mark Feegel, “with peer group education, annual seminars and familiarity with licensing statutes”. Feegel is referring to Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Chapter 493, which governs and licenses private investigators in Florida. “The chapter clearly states that someone possessing a Class C Private Investigators License – as did James D. Hoover, the subject of the deposition on March 25th, must be employed by a licensed Class A Private Investigation Agency. It is clear from the deposition that Hoover, with only a Class C, was sub-contracting his services to several Class A Licensees, namely D&A Investigations, owned by Dominic Casey, and Class Action Detective Agency, owned by Alan Buchanan”.

In Hoover’s deposition, he testified that he performed investigative work for both agencies and unless D&A was subcontracting work to Class Action, or unless Hoover was an employee (not subcontractor) of Class Action and subsequently D&A, Hoover and both agencies allegedly violated the law. “The 493 Chapter is very clear on this point,” says Chambers, who has been licensed as private investigator since 1982, “Class C licensees may not engage in investigative services except through a licensed Class A agency. Moreover, Class C licensees are prohibited from subcontracting, which, according to the sworn testimony of Hoover, is what he has been doing for years”. Chambers explained, “Florida Statutes dictates that Class A agencies may sub-contract work to another Class A agency for assistance, but Class C Private investigators are statutorily prohibited from doing so on their own”.

Chambers said fully licensed and legally operating PIs in FAPI “are always running across unlicensed activity, including those who possess neither a Class C nor a Class A license and there is little we can do but report it to the Division of Licensing.”

Apparently even if caught, there isn’t much of penalty for not being licensed and the type of activity testified to in Hoover’s deposition could only result in one or more of the following actions from the Division of Licensing, “Issue a reprimand; deny an application for issuance of a license; impose an administrative fine not to exceed $1000; or, place the licensee on probation”. “Given the training and experience required to get a license in Florida”, said Roger Gibson, a retired U.S. Marshal and private investigator in Miami since 1977, “and given the potential harm to the constituents in Florida, there should be a significant fine and it should also be a serious criminal offense to blatantly act as a PI without proper licensing.“

Feegel and Chambers concede it is a serious problem but said FAPI is working with a few State Representatives and Senators to try to get changes made to the licensing statute. Until then, it is a shame to have this type of embarrassing activity on a high-profile tragedy such as the Caylee Anthony case. There are many experienced, qualified, licensed and insured PIs available via the FAPI website where the public can search for a local and properly licensed PI. Many have extensive working knowledge of criminal investigations, missing children and abuse cases as well as corporate and financial fraud investigations. It is also imperative the public know the Florida Division of Licensing provides individual and agency licensing information available on their web site. A business or individual who ends up hiring a private investigator who is not properly licensed may find themselves in a predicament if the investigation leads to a court action. “The credibility of the private investigator and, indeed, the actual investigation he conducted, may be called into question,” said Feegel, “leading to disastrous results for the client”.

Harvey E. Morse, the founder of FAPI, a licensee since 1975 and former Chair of the State’s Advisory Council agrees. He said, “We work hard to maintain our integrity and investigative skills. The statutory language is clear. Violating the statute subjects the client to having testimony by an improperly licensed PI simply thrown out. People, who circumvent the law for personal gain, do so at their own risk. Our State Association polices the industry by reporting unlawful activity, and we are proud that our members’ license status is verified before accepting them into our organization”.

Neither of the Anthony PIs are members of FAPI.

it2b [Bot] > Asset Search: Clawback Caused By A Ponzi Scheme
2009-03-30 04:46

Image: Steve Hillebrand / U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service





Investors who profited because of Allen B. Stanford's suspected Ponzi scheme may face clawback lawsuits under the Bankruptcy Code, according to Bloomberg.Com's "Stanford Receiver May Need a Decade to Pay Victims". Investors who collected profits from Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme could too face clawback because of litigation by SIPC trustee Irving Picard, says "Details emerge of money to refund Madoff victims".





The articles "Madoff Victims May Have to Return Profits, Principal" and "Lessons For Madoff Investors From The Bayou Fund Ponzi Scheme" both mention the idea that Madoff investors are subject to clawback under In re: Bayou Group LLC, et. al. 396 B.R. 810 (Bkrtcy S.D.N.Y. 2008) via its October 16, 2008 Decision. Among other things, the October 16 Decision permitted clawback from investors by applying 11 U.S.C. § 548 (a) (1) (A) and local N.Y. law regarding fraudulent transfers.





The October 16 Decision viewed funds paid-out to investors before the Ponzi scheme was discovered, as presumptively fraudulent / fraudulent transfers. The Decision placed the burden on these particular investors to show that their funds were received in good faith and for value, as more fully set forth in the K & L Gates article: "The Madoff Dissolution: A Consideration of the Bayou Precedent and Possible Next Steps".





Furthermore, "Madoff's Investors Redemptions: Subject to Clawback", more recently asserted that Mr. Madoff's guilty plea might especially expose investors to clawback litigation as Mr. Madoff's plea demonstrates his actual intent to commit fraud. This means that a clawback claim against an investor could be strengthened, as actual intent is one of the factors addressed by the Bayou Court's October 16 Decision.

2009-04-01 21:14
The administrative complaint In The Matter of Fairfield Greenwich Advisors LLC and Fairfield Greenwich (Bermuda) Ltd., Docket 2009-0028, filed today in Massachusetts, is the topic of this "Asset Search Roundup". As a review of today's complaint reveals, Fairfield Greenwich Advisors LLC and Fairfield Greenwich (Bermuda) Ltd. are accused of being a feeder fund or conduit for the wrongful transfer of investor's monies into Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The 110 page complaint filed by the Enforcement Section, Massachusetts Securities Division can be viewed, (without its exhibits), at: Complaint Part "1" and Complaint Part "2".





William Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts discussed this same complaint during his interview this morning, as is depicted in the CNBC "Fairfield Greenwich Fraud" video. In Secretary Galvin's interview / video, he describes some of the specific allegations of the complaint. Perhaps most important about "the Fairfield Greenwich Fraud" video was Secretary Galvin's comment in it, that an asset recovery for Madoff investors "may require an international effort."





A comprehensive effort to recover assets from a fraudster like Mr. Madoff will in my opinion, involve a variety of international legal issues. In Mr. Madoff's case there could be issues involving global asset forfeiture; mutual legal assistance treaties; letters rogatory or tax information exchange agreements. Such issues could be highly relevant to an asset recovery effort targeting Mr. Madoff, since Mr. Madoff's Ponzi scheme had cross-border elements. Mr. Madoff's Ponzi scheme for example, used bank accounts in New York and London to launder assets, as I mentioned in my "Asset Search News Roundup: March 17, 2009". Meanwhile, "Madoff Trustee Locates Assets of $75 Million" reports that Mr. Madoff possesses $75 million in Gibraltar -- which could be yet another cross-border element part of Mr. Madoff's Ponzi scheme.

2009-04-02 17:36
Узнать о человеке все в интернете можно всего за два клика "мышки" (фото: Тимур Аникеев, "Известия")

Персональные данные теперь доступны недоброжелателям, жуликам и киллерам
Алексей Аронов, Антон Заритовский
Источник: http://www.izvestia.ru/economic/article3126915/


Хотите знать, сколько автомобилей у Аллы Пугачевой? Интересуетесь адресом Ксении Собчак? А может быть, желаете выяснить, судим ли ваш жених или почему вам не дали ипотеку? Нет ничего проще. В интернете - десятки пиратских сайтов, предоставляющих подобные "услуги" за деньги. Самый внушительный из них сейчас открыл доступ всем желающим. Он зарегистрирован в США, так как наши законы запрещают собирать и распространять информацию о частных лицах. Но что делать, если вы обнаружили в Сети информацию о своих банковских счетах или криминальных "грехах молодости"?

"Нашему ресурсу исполняется десять лет, в связи с этой фееричной датой мы дарим всем клиентам бесплатный доступ к базе данных" - такое электронное письмо пришло во вторник на адрес редакции. И это оказалась вовсе не первоапрельская шутка: ссылка действительно привела на популярный американский сайт, торгующий конфиденциальной информацией. Владельцы ресурса хвастаются, что им удалось собрать воедино "более 5300 информационных баз федерального и местного значения". Сотрудники редакции с интересом нашли в базе номера своих мобильных телефонов, паспортные данные, адреса, информацию о доходах и уплаченных налогах, об административных правонарушениях...

В последние годы дельцы от "информационного бизнеса" далеко шагнули вперед. Раньше, для того чтобы разжиться базой данных ГИБДД или сотовых операторов, приходилось тащиться на радиорынок, а потом, чертыхаясь, устанавливать громоздкую программу к себе на компьютер. Теперь для этого достаточно зайти в интернет.

Американский ресурс, о котором идет речь (мы решили не называть адрес, чтобы не делать ему рекламу), работает уже больше года и насчитывает около 5 млрд записей о жителях России и других стран СНГ. Первые несколько дней своего существования сайт был бесплатным, но потом создатели решили отказаться от "благотворительности": каждый запрос стоит сегодня от 0,4 до 1 цента.

Впрочем, даже рассматривая сайт в демонстрационном режиме можно убедиться, что вся наша частная жизнь - как на ладони. "Просканировав" несколько своих знакомых, мы с удивлением обнаружили, что одному из них банк отказал в кредите в связи с "уголовным прошлым", другой не раз задерживался милицией за распитие спиртных напитков в общественных местах, а третий, мнящий себя коренным москвичом, оказался родом из уральской глубинки.

Первая мысль, которая приходит в голову посетителю этого сайта: а как вообще такое возможно? В российской Конституции прямо говорится о том, что "сбор, хранение, использование и распространение информации о частной жизни лица без его согласия не допускаются". А Уголовный кодекс устанавливает за это наказание вплоть до "ареста на срок от четырех до шести месяцев".

Вполне логично было бы предположить, что бороться с интернет-беспределом должны главные борцы с кибер-преступлениями в нашей стране - специалисты Управления "К" МВД России. Увы, это оказалось не так.

- Мошенничество с пластиковыми картами, порнография в Сети - с этим мы боремся, а вот базы данных не наша юрисдикция, - пояснила "Известиям" руководитель пресс-службы Управления "К" Ирина Зубарева. Дело осложняется еще и тем, что сайт, о котором идет речь, - американский. И закрыть его могут только власти Соединенных Штатов.

- Сразу после открытия ресурса мы уведомили американскую сторону и попросили ее закрыть сайт. Но по истечении полутора лет он продолжает работать, - вздыхают милиционеры.

Вот и получается, что даже Интерпол бессилен, а бороться с нежелательным попаданием себя любимого в подобные базы данных должен каждый гражданин в частном порядке. Так, председатель Общества защиты прав потребителей Михаил Аншаков считает, что пострадавший может подать иск против той организации, которая, по его мнению, "слила" персональные данные.

Но кроме морального удовлетворения это больше ничего не принесет. Сайт будет работать по-прежнему.

Теоретически существует возможность оградить российских пользователей от доступа к базам данных. Для этого каждый российский поставщик услуг интернета должен внести такие сайты в свой "черный список". Но для "продвинутых" пользователей обойти это препятствие не составит большого труда.

Заметим, что в следующем году в России должен заработать долгожданный закон о персональных данных, призванный положить конец постоянным утечкам. Однако эксперты считают его "мертворожденным".

- Да, есть закон, который говорит, что операторы персональных данных должны их защищать. Но после публикации этого закона вышло порядка 40 разъяснений, подзаконных актов и т.д., и во многом они этому закону противоречат. А в сентябре прошлого года вышло постановление, которое вообще потрясло всех. Там было написано, что оператор (персональных данных. - "Известия") сам выбирает, как он будет осуществлять защиту, - удивляется директор по маркетингу компании Perimetrix Денис Зенкин.

Выходит, что никаких общих правил секретности информации как не было, так и не будет. При том что в России работает несколько миллионов компаний, попадающих под определение "операторы": начиная от поликлиник и заканчивая районными отделениями милиции.

Корпоративная информация дороже частной

Если в России "слив" информации в основном приносит моральный вред, то в США - вполне материальный. Дело в том, что у каждого американца есть свой номер социального страхования, на который можно "повесить" все что угодно: кредиты, расписки, поручительства и т.д. Поэтому в большинстве штатов приняты законы, обязывающие организацию, допустившую утечку, немедленно информировать об этом государство и всех пострадавших. В Евросоюзе более мягкое законодательство, и компании, допустившие утечку, стараются не выносить сор из избы, чтобы не привлекать к инциденту внимание.

Еще один способ борьбы с утечками - введение единых стандартов безопасности. Так, в ЕС действуют так называемые Базельские соглашения. Они в том числе описывают то, как финансовые организации должны защищать внутреннюю информацию от инсайда. Любопытно, что при этом западные правительства готовы наплевать на права человека. Так, недавно президент Финляндии Тарья Халонен подписала скандальный закон, позволяющий работодателям следить за электронной перепиской сотрудников в том случае, если они подозреваются в злоупотреблениях. Поговаривают, что за этим документом стоит телекоммуникационный гигант Nokia, пытающийся таким способом заполучить действенный инструмент для борьбы с промышленным шпионажем.

it2b [Bot] > PInow: Woman Sues PI Over Legal Tracking Device
2009-04-02 20:55
Teej Cummins' outlook on life changed when she stopped at a Shawnee Hills store in September.

When she left the store, a stranger approached her and told her that someone did something to her car.

Cummins said that the stranger told her that a black van drove up. A man with a black box got out and crawled underneath her car, attached the box and then drove off.

It turned out that the person in the van was a private investigator who was looking into Cummins' job injury claim, 10 Investigates' Paul Aker reported.

He used a GPS tracking device. With a magnet, the GPS usually sticks, undetected, to a car's undercarriage. Cummins said that she thought whatever was hiding under car might be a bomb so she called police.

"The officer (asked), 'Do you have any enemies?'" Cummins said. "I remember that moment and the sure panic."
