    Re: Liberty Reserve owner arrested, charged with money laundering, website offline

    Neither Google Image Search nor TinEye brought up any relevant details. That's the ONLY picture any one has on him. And it appears to be in a bar, not an office.

    I enlarged the picture and played with gamma a bit. The picture is way too dark, and brighten it up revealed they are indeed in a bar or cafe of some sort. I don't recognize the object to the left of him.

    I think it's looks like a restaurant car of a train.

    That's what I thought. That's someones shoulder in a black shirt, and appears to be a coat hanger and jackets hanging behind that person.

    Want to see how a 'HYIP Pimpette' operates?

    From the Perfect Money website:

    Due to increasing demand for our services, server upgrade is underway
    27.05.13

    Dear Perfect Money Customers,

    Currently, we are in process of adding new servers to a cluster to accommodate rising demand for our services. Perfect Money technical team aim to complete this task as soon as humanly possible. Once the upgrade is completed you will notice a significant improvement in system performance.

    We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for loyalty and understanding.

    It appears many are choosing PM to replace Liberty Reserve.

    Some update, as I met a person who claimed that PM is legally operating.

    Seems there is no such company in Honk Kong and never was as Startup Research & Investments
    Looks like PM website sanitized that name and in some places (contact us) got rid of it completely or kept as "SR & I." (legal notice)

    Every Past place they claimed they located in, declared them unauthorized and non present in country:
    Switzerland: SFBC - Public announcements
    Panama: http://supervalores.gob.pa/informaci...ance-corp.html

    While in Hong Kong, HKMA is responsible for registering and supervising operations of online banks and money brokers, which operations of PM fail under.
    An inquiry with HKMA revealed that they have a downloadable excel list of all authorized as there is not that many and any entity not mentioned there is therefore unauthorized.
    URL: http://www.hkma.gov.hk/media/eng/doc.../name_list.xls

    Neither names of Perfect Money ... or Startup Research ... appear in that list.

    P.S.: all of it is from publicly available information, and not my attempt to find real location and operators which are known to me and to some other people but cannot be discussed yet.

    New feature from PerefctMoney.

    - "Uhmm, seems like you sending money to a criminal, please go ahead, we just had to tell you and do not bug us when you scammed"

    Perfect Money does not provide any guarantee whatsoever regarding the possible outcome of this transaction.

    If completed, the transaction cannot be reversed.
    This message appears when someone sends a payment to a HYIP program, it is unclear how PM detects those, message also shows up in other language versions.
