I’ve been taking another look at this report of Wirecard possibly playing a role in the alleged marijuana bank-fraud conspiracy, and the arrests of Ruben Weigand and Hamid “Ray” Akhavan.. and I have a huge question, in light of this weeks FT reporting on Wirecard. https://twitter.com/FinCrimeEdu/status/1281690295168634880
I haven’t been able to find the Indictment of Weigand and Akhavan, nor, (surprisingly) any mention of their arrest on Justice. gov
But I have been able to find legal decisions.

Including one re. the request of a change of lawyer to William Burck and Christopher Tayback of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP.
And whether this representation would present a conflict of interest since other of their clients being investigated

Now William Burck has many clients; he represented Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus and Don McGahn in the Mueller Probe. He has also represented Kim Dotcom and handled Kavanaugh nomination to SOTUS.

But in light of yesterday’s reporting that Wirecard COO, Jan Marsalek, ‘owned‘ the factory in Libya that Wagner sent the first mercenaries into Libya to protect, enabling RU do get a foothold in Libya. https://twitter.com/ImDrinknWyn/status/1281687099708600320
The client that he represented, that interests me the most, is FBME Bank. https://twitter.com/Stephaniefishm4/status/974721997560102912
Which was shut out of the US financial system in 2017, reportedly for holding a network of secret slush funds that exposed Kremlin connections to frontment for Syria’s chemical weapons programme and the terrorist group ISIS. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexcampbell/kremlin-linked-slush-funds-exposed?utm_term=.jsNpgqvD3
So now I’m wondering... has Wirecard similarly been acting as a slush fund for Kremlin military interventions? Maybe replacing FBME Bank? And is that where the ‘missing billions’ have gone?
Found the Indictment for Ruben Weigand and Hamid "Ray" Akhavan... for tricking US banks into processing more than $100 million in marijuana transactions that went contrary to the banks' rules. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.535262/gov.uscourts.nysd.535262.16.0.pdf
They created phony merchants and made it look like the marijuana purchases were for legitimate items from these stores.
Criminal /terrorist organizations are known to set up online shops that serve as a front for illegal financial activity, as outlined in this article. https://www.jpost.com/business-and-innovation/israeli-cyber-intelligence-expert-takes-aim-at-transaction-laundering-500819
Interestingly, the article also mentions the town of Consett, UK, which has already featured in the Wirecard saga, with staff involved in a network of shell companies connected to pornography, gambling and dating websites. https://twitter.com/ImDrinknWyn/status/1279219619081805825
Wonder if any of the phony merchants from the indictment were headquartered in Consett?
