1:07 p.m. PPBlog note: Based on Jordan’s reporting, it looks as though the U.S. Attorney’s office has filed civil and criminal forfeiture actions. This is similar to what happened in the AdSurfDaily MLM HYIP case in 2008.
1:18 p.m. PPBlog note: One way to view the forfeiture actions is that the United States perceives an attack on the country’s banking infrastructure, opening the door for banks and payment processors effectively to become warehouses and distribution centers for fraud proceeds. For the sake of discussion, let’s say TelexFree has 700,000 members. This could mean there are 700,000 conduits to offload proceeds accumulated during a Ponzi scheme. The FBI has been warning about this type of thing for YEARS.
4:30 p.m. PPBlog note: Testimony resumes after break for lunch. Visit PonziTracker.
