Financial crime investigator. I find bad people for a living. Yes, I know, I'm a hero. Doing the right thing, doing what I love.
Hilarious, the far right, and those with hatred, ultimately being fooled by someone they would classify as an immigrant. Best part is, he's making money, the fools don't even know it. On a serious note, this is how dangerous social media has become. I'm glad we don't get these feeds on Bluesky.

Pity to see Adidas on the list, considering in the past one year I had diverted all my purchases from Nike to the German company. Hope Adidas take some action against their suppliers.

Same here, i always support my local bookstore, and purchased all of Bill Bowser's books from there. Nothing like a physical store to browse around and talk to other people.

...and there lies the problem, the BBC is constantly being attacked by successive governments and rival TV networks. ITV looks like they will soon be in foreign ownership, as if we haven't already had enough UK business sold to overseas companies, all the profits offshored via various subsidiaries.

Hope the MP keeps the pressure on HMRC, especially any tax lost through tax evasion means less for front line public services. Us, average joe public suffer the consequences from cuts in services and or tax rises.

The next issue is the A7 Leaks, and their role in crypto in sanctions evasions and using funds to meddle in overseas counties politics. I'd love to see this as your next series. ELLIPTIC is one of many sources of data leaks that were reported from September 2025 onwards.

The west is already living on a debt time bomb, especially as news has it, the US is already been impacted by the decisions of it's own administration. Like the previous recessions, the contagion will spread globally.

Countries funding their own, I have no problem with, especially if it has a rule of law and operates a democratic society. It has already shown, decades of funding other countries has not helped them out of their issues, especially those with dictators who show no moral obligation to its own.

America and other countries cannot be the wallets for such countries. Just by giving aid does not stop the issues in those countries. Those countries need to be pressured into action. The west is already up to their necks in debt. Use alternative and effective means, in my opinion.

Technically, some earnings are from proceeds of crime, a criminal offence. Our UK banks should not be reimbursing victims, the funds need to come from Meta, hit them where it hurts. These techbros need to be prosecuted from profiting from crimes. Chumps, get off Facebook and anything Meta !!!!!!!

Excellent news, the UK government now needs to apply the same across several jurisdictions known for financial secrecy, its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, including the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man.

Hi, thank you for the message. Three pictures attached, all taken just before my earlier post. One clearly indicates being blocked by Edge, the other two from Google and Firefox. As a secondary point, whether your email subscribers have tailed off recently, that might be another indicator.

Quite a few of us have noted reductions in emails received, and we tried to reregister. The same applies with @occrp.org , who seems to have an error page. Are the techbros disrupting new and existing customer subscribers?

I was wondering whether your mailing list is having issues? I'm in the UK, my colleagues and I have noted your "join the mailing list" pop up page is being blocked across Edge (which specifically states this has been blocked by Edge) whereas Google and Firefox shows this as a blank page.

Yet, we still wait for high profile individuals to be prosecuted for corrupt practises. Keep the pressure on.

The Tories are jumping on the same bandwagon as fag ash Farage, fighting for their survival by mimicking the orange clown in the USA. Tories are finished, Farage is using divisive tactics.

The UK needs to prosecute high profile individuals for corruption, this country does not have a good record for such crimes. Some of these companies closed down, but it should not stop there, they need to go after individuals from benefitting from proceeds of crime.

Excellent, can't wait to look at this further as i work within the industry this tool could be useful.

I think she'll need to go back to Dragons Den with a business idea of how she's going to pay £122 million back to the government.

It is interesting that the company has been put into administration, with only a fraction of the amount that is owned to the government. I would hope they go after every asset, especially the yacht that was purchased with the funds, and plus some. Kick her out of the House of Lords too.

It will be interesting, if these crypto payments are cashed out, will these banks be filing a suspicious activity report, are the banks too scared to challenge funds and crypto from dubious sources?

Two of my best friends travel around South Africa teaching wildlife forensics to various law enforcement agencies, how to gather evidence in poaching and prosecution methods. They are currently in Lesotho.

I really hope this documentary causes a stir, and shows who had their fingers in the COVID Payout Pie. We need high profile individuals being charged for state theft. This country is poor at prosecuting those at the top, instead, they get knighted and enter the House of Lords.
