Mansef Forfeits $2.2 Million Seized By Secret Service In Money Laundering Case
 
Quote:
Mansef Inc. and its Premium Services Inc. division have agreed to forfeit $2.2 million in its settlement with the Justice Department over $6.4 million seized by the Secret Service.

The final order on the arrested funds was recently signed off by U.S. District Judge Julie Carnes, and the $2.2 million were slated to be transferred by wire. The parties agreed to be responsible for attorneys fees.

In February, Mansef, Premium and the Justice Department reached a settlement in the long-winding case.

Mansef's fight for seized funds began in 2009 after it set up Atlanta-based Premium Services to facilitate payments from its third-party credit card processors into the accounts and to allow the company to remit funds out of two checking accounts to its U.S. vendors.

The Secret Service claimed in court documents that Premium Services was not registered with the federal Treasury Department nor with the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance as a money-transmitting business.

Federal authorities noted in court documents that for three months last year Premium Services received $9.4 million in wire transfers from various sources and that much of the funds originated in high-risk countries.

U.S. authorities claimed that the funds in two accounts were forfeitable under 18 U.S.C. § 981 (a)(1)(A) as property involved in or traceable to a transaction in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1960, which prohibits unlicensed money-transmitting businesses.

Mansef and Premium Services all along denied they are in that line of business.

Montreal-based Mansef last year was sold to new owners Manwin, which added additional properties to its international group of companies.

Manwin declined comment
Money laundering is bad, m'kay!

So much of that money came from Israel?

In exhibits provided by the government, some of those Israel-based processors transacting business with Premium Services included Paygea Ltd., CAL-International, Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. and Israel Discount Bank Ltd., whose subsidiary Israel Credit Cards-Cal Ltd. was levied a $13.5 million fine in November by VISA Europe over chargebacks.

Not sure what you mean...this is current news: Thu, Sep 08 2011 10:45am PDT

Mansef claimed that they weren't money laundering, and yet the government ruled otherwise. And remember, this all went down at right around the same time Mansef was acquired by Manwin, yet Manwin claims to have no connection to money laundering.

Forget the fact that they were paying affiliates who had earned the money.

Get over the fact that this was a new application of the law.

Ignore the fact that ADG just has to post something bad about this company.

Disregard the facts... oh wait, thats ADG's job.

Like I said... Fabian would do well to learn from RB after Maxcash got spanked by the Feds to keep a low profile.

My Pimp 09-09-2011 08:04 AM
$2.2 million is a lot of money . But the government is too powerful.

Actually, I thought that I was reporting the facts. If there is anything in the article that was incorrect, please let me know.

I will quit posting bad things about Manwin when Manwin quits doing bad things, like supporting Pirate Bay. Win-Win! :)

ADG, You skip over the facts that don't support your personal agenda.

They got caught without the proper licenses paying US webmasters.

Big, evil plot there.

Congrats to all the winners!

With money transferred from banks in Israel?

Perhaps you should do a little research into CAL-International and why VISA stepped in to make them quit processing high-risk transactions.

Just Alex 09-09-2011 08:47 AM
$2.2 mil. No big deal.

My personal agenda?!? :1orglaugh

What would that be? Being against unethical/illegal activities? In that case, I guess that I am guilty as charged! :)

I think that the judge already heard the arguments from the Mansef/Manwin lawyers that this was simply a small paperwork or licensing error, or whatever.

After that, the Judge rendered the courts decision, and ordered the forfeiture of $2.2 million in the culmination of that particular money laundering investigation.

Justice served! :thumbsup

Next case... :winkwink:

That was more like cyber stalking/trolling, this actually means something.

Pretty funny how all the Manwinites come out of the woodwork to defend their emperor;)

V_RocKs 09-09-2011 09:26 AM
2.2 million is a big deal when it is your 2.2 million.

it sounds to me, that there was no trial, no court decision, etc... they simply settled for 2.2M, instead of fighting this for years and risking jail time, etc... :2 cents:

porno jew 09-09-2011 10:52 AM
mansef and manwin two totally different companies.

TisMe 09-09-2011 12:20 PM
Manwinites? Hardly. I've never done business with them nor do I know anyone there.

ADG wants to make it look as bad as he possibly can, despite his own OP stating that it WAS in fact a licensing issue that led to the charges.

An offshore company set up a US company to make it easier to pay US affiliates. US bank drawn checks, ACH, domestic wires, etc.

This has been done by dozens of companies in this business for years.
