Heute vor 10 Jahren erschien der erste Zatarrabericht... Heute heißt es immer, es erschien DER Zatarrabericht, dabei waren es insgesamt 9-11 Berichte (je nachdem, ob man Stellungnahmen dazurechnet)
Mein Lieblingsbeitrag war dieser hier...
An oil smuggler, a heroin dealer and a pornographer walk into a bar Wirecard.
While we await the new overwhelming evidence to be shortly revealed, not to mention the legal authorities to continue their good work, Zatarra presents some light relief in the attached.
Remember you can follow us on twitter @ZRI2016.
The Oil Smuggler – Esther Magleo. Dear Esther was Wirecard Asia Pacific’s (AP) CFO and was personally investigated for fraud whilst she was CFO at Wirecard AP. The Philippine Department of Justice described Dear Esther’s activities as a “proverbial Pandora’s box”.
The Heroin Dealer – Robert Frank Lock. Bob to his Wirecard colleagues, enjoyed a suite at the Bangkok Hilton (Bangkok’s slammer) for dealing in Heroin. Lock was closely associated with the E-Credit Plus acquisition – he was a director of E-Credit AS WELL AS working for Wirecard. E-Credit was purchased by Wirecard for €12.8 Million and then handed back to the original owners effectively for free a few years later. When not dealing in H, Robert Frank Lock was employed by Wirecard as its Vice President for Business Development. We wonder how much smack €12.8 Million can buy these days.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4VlwYSOBlMThe Pornographer – Donald Moffat. Dirty Don is Wirecard’s Australia and South Pacific Rep. It’s surprising that Dirty Don finds the time to perform his work for Wirecard when he’s also a major pornographer and scam site merchant, having registered a number of such pornographic sites and scam sites. But then as Dirty Don is affiliated with Kreole Enterprises maybe as well as being Wirecard Australia Rep, he’s also a big customer of Wirecard AP?
Stay tuned for the good stuff. It’s coming real soon.

Ps.
Zatarra Research & Investigations (ZRI) wishes to provide clarification on recent articles in the press.
ZRI has received no communication from BaFIN in relation to the publicly available evidence that ZRI has presented relating to the criminal actions of Wirecard AG.
ZRI has received no communication from BaFIN in relation to any allegation of Market Manipulation. This is because ZRI is neither responsible for, nor has taken part in any Market Manipulation. ZRI’s evidence is publicly available, factual, accurate, easily verified from reputable sources such as Government Agencies, and clearly presented with a full disclaimer.
ZRI has received no legal action from Wirecard. The only legal action Wirecard has attempted was directed towards ZRI’s website operator, where tellingly Wirecard’s complaint centered on the detrimental effect ZRI’s evidence was having on its market valuation.
What ZRI has received is two emails sent by BaFIN’s, Izabela Olendrowicz. Izabela writes at length as to whether ZRI views itself as providing financial advice, and if it does should ZRI be regulated? To be clear, and as we have informed Izabela, ZRI has provided no financial advice. What ZRI has done is present a range of factual evidence that has been sourced from the public domain. And based on this factual evidence, ZRI has made a sound judgement that there is no value whatsoever in Wirecard. There is plenty of detail in ZRI’s initial reports, further detail to come, and separate detail submitted to certain authorities to justify this view. But if there remains doubt, then ZRI would encourage those with an interest to read the reports, whereupon they too may arrive at this conclusion.
In terms of any “probe” that some press reports suggest BaFIN has conducted, there is scant detail as to the nature of this probe. Our view is that even from the mildest of probes, only a true moron would fail to see how Wirecard operates illegally and fraudulently and not to mention makes false and misleading statements.
Of course, BaFIN is widely renowned for its laissez-faire oversight on money laundering and the violation of international money transmittance laws. Recent evidence showcasing Deutsche Bank and Berenberg’s actions clearly demonstrates BaFIN’s “look the other way” approach. But make no mistake, others DO NOT. On matters of money laundering, there are certain regulators and authorities that take illegal money laundering activities extremely seriously. And the evidence submitted to these bodies is so damming that they will be assiduously licking their chops as they bear down on Wirecard. ZRI looks forward to events as they unfold. SPOILER ALERT: Note to reader and especially sell side analysts, Wirecard Card Solutions Limited is regulated by the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.
All that said, it would be shocking even for BaFIN to excuse Wirecard for its criminal activities. Especially so when considering that criminal prosecutions are currently underway in Israel that involve former senior Wirecard employees, such as Dietmar Knöchelmann, the former CEO to Wirecard UK & Ireland. Knöchelmann is being prosecuted by the Israeli Judiciary for money laundering offences and defrauding Visa, WHILST EMPLOYED BY WIRECARD.
Even though BaFIN has granted a banking licence to a company that employs Heroin dealers, pornographers, oil smugglers, and money launderers, ZRI’s view is that BaFIN (and for that matter, Visa and MasterCard) are duty bound to investigate ZRI’s claims. BaFIN may be able to overlook the Heroin dealing, the pornography and the oil smuggling. But the money laundering? Not so much. And for what it’s worth, ZRI is of the belief that BaFIN continues to investigate Wirecard. But ZRI’s faith and efforts have never been directed towards BaFIN. The really good conversations have been happening elsewhere.
Incidentally, on the matter of Dietmar Knöchelmann, Wirecard’s shareholders might reflect on the fact that Knöchelmann, who is currently being prosecuted for money laundering, sold Wirecard the Gateway group of companies. Gateway was purchased from Knöchelmann for €43 Million. But then Wirecard has a habit of purchasing businesses from ex-cons, money launderers and those due for incarceration.
As highlighted above, another ex-con that Wirecard had (and evidence suggests still has) a close relationship with is Robert Frank Lock, the Heroin Dealer. Bob Lock was closely associated with the E-Credit Plus acquisition.
Of course the most recent example of buying garbage is the €340 Million acquisition of GI Retail. Despite Wirecard’s denials, there is irrefutable evidence that shows Usman Fayaz, recently censured in India for securities fraud, as the founder of GI Retail. And that Ramu and Palaniyapan Ramasamy, the management of GI Retail, worked directly for India’s scam lottery and money laundering Kingpin, Santiago Martin. And despite Wirecard’s denials of Fayaz having any connection over recent years to GI Retail, how do they explain Fayaz’s son, Usman Faheed Fayaz as being a recent director of GI Retail and the associated businesses that were acquired by Wirecard?

As we say. Stay tuned. There’s bigger and further wildly unimaginable things to come.
