Liberty Reserve Shut-down? Owner Arrested? by D3xt3r: 6:06am On May 25, 2013 |
Hi, NLers I have been unable to use my LR since yesterday, page load but no content. I decided to do a look up and i found this, could it be true. i Have 317LR in there, abeg o.. Costa Rican arrested in Spain for alleged financial crimes Posted: Friday, May 24, 2013 - By L. Arias Costa Rican authorities raided suspect´s home and offices in San José and Heredia. Arthur Budovsky Belanchuk, 39, on Friday was arrested in Spain as part of a money laundering investigation performed jointly by police agencies in the United States and Costa Rica. Costa Rican prosecutor José Pablo González said Budovsky, a Costa Rican citizen of Ukrainian origin, has been under investigation since 2011 for money laundering using a company he created in the country called Liberty Reserve. Local investigations began after a request from a prosecutor’s office in New York. On Friday, San José prosecutors conducted raids in Budovsky's house and offices in Escazá, Santa Ana, southwest of San José, and in the province of Heredia, north of the capital. Budovsky's businesses in Costa Rica apparently were financed by using money from child pornography websites and drug trafficking. New York conviction According to records from the U.S. Justice Department, on July 27, 2006, Budovsky and a partner identified as Vladimir Kats were indicted by the state of New York on charges of operating an illegal financial business, GoldAge Inc., from their Brooklyn apartments. They had transmitted at least $30 million to digital currency accounts worldwide since beginning operations in 2002. The digital currency exchange, GoldAge, received and transmitted $4 million between Jan. 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006, as part of the money laundering scheme. Customers opened online GoldAge accounts with limited documentation of identity, then GoldAge purchased digital gold currency through those accounts; the defendants' fees sometimes exceeded $100,000. Customers could choose their method of payment to GoldAge: wire remittances, cash deposits, postal money orders or checks. Finally, the customers could withdraw the money by requesting wire transfers to accounts anywhere in the world or by having checks sent to any identified individual. Budovsky and Kats were sentenced to five years in prison for engaging in the business of transmitting money without a license, a felony violation of state banking law, but got probation. source: http://www.ticotimes.net/More-news/News-Briefs/Costa-Rican-arrested-in-Spain-for-alleged-financial-crimes_Friday-May-24-2013 |

Its not that they defrauded people like you and I......they were simply making some heavy transactions without a proper license. Besides, money laundering is dangerous for the financial health of a society. Its not really a case as such.....they even got PROBATION. Don't panic, our monies are intact! |

This arrest is a huge blow for many businesses and individuals around the world. The website and currency system is currently offline, suggesting a government seize. A government seize of the funds could result in many customers of Liberty Reserve to lose huge sums of money. The logic in this arrest seems a bit flawed. If we are to use this logic with all currencies, most every currency would be shut down. With the potential loss of Liberty Reserve, criminals will simply move to different e-currencies. It's just unfortunate that, if legitimate, Budovsky will face criminal charges for the actions of others. Hopefully a fair trial is put into effect and legitimate customers of Liberty Reserve do not lose their funds |
