Learn how to Know Your Customer and recover the proceeds of crime when your due diligence fails at OffshoreAlert's 2nd Due Diligence & Asset Recovery Symposium, November 3 - 4, 2003 at The Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, Florida

Introduction

CLE and CPE Credits have been applied for.


News Flash: The organizer of the asset recovery section of our Symposium won a $36 million judgment in Illinois on July 3, 2003 regarding a telemarketing scam case. Better still - it is all collectable. 

Dear Colleague,

It has never been more important for businesses and business people to conduct thorough and comprehensive due diligence than it is today because the consequences of doing business with the wrong person have never been so dire.

For bankers and other professionals, the traditional downside of providing services to major criminals, e.g. a fine and a loss of reputation, are now the least of your worries. In today’s regulatory climate, there is a real risk that you could go to prison.

What better way to protect yourself against involvement in criminal activity than to learn the research and detection techniques used by a newsletter with an unblemished track record of exposing major, international, white-collar crime - while it is in progress.

OffshoreAlert has gone through its extensive contact list to assemble a team of compliance experts, attorneys, risk managers, private investigators and researchers who will show you how to design and set up ‘A Blueprint for Compliance and Debt Satisfaction’.

Attend our Symposium and you will not only learn what you have to do to comply with laws that require you to ‘Know Your Customer’ but, just as importantly, you will be shown how to comply in a way that will withstand the sternest regulatory scrutiny.

No matter the size of your compliance budget, there are an array of KYC products out there that will meet your statutory and professional requirements. We will show you those that are effective and those that are not.

The first step in establishing a professional KYC structure is to carry out due diligence on the very products and people that claim to offer you solutions. Not all of them do what they claim. In this regard, our panel of experts has tried and tested different products and they will go over the strengths and weaknesses of each one in a special, 75-minute segment of our Symposium.

While the first day of our event focuses on due diligence, the second day will show you how to finance, assemble and carry out a professional asset recovery program.

Each year, several billions of dollars are lost to investment and securities fraud in the United States alone, with most of it seemingly disappearing into a vast black hole, never to be recovered by liquidators, receivers or victims.

However, with the passage of exchange of information laws in many offshore financial centers once known for their banking secrecy, there has never been a more encouraging legal environment in which to recover assets. In today’s world, asset recovery represents one of the most financially and morally rewarding investment opportunities of any industry - if done properly.

I invite you to attend OffshoreAlert’s 2nd Due Diligence & Asset Recovery Symposium. You will not be disappointed!

Cordially yours,

David Marchant

Learn from our experience

OffshoreAlert has shown time and again its prowess at exposing multi-million dollar, international, white-collar crime while it is in progress, rather than after it has been committed.

 

In doing so, we protect our clients from financial and reputational liability by bearing it ourself, as shown by financial criminals filing - and losing - three separate libel actions against us since 1998.

 

One of the plaintiffs was a group operated by Panama-based financial services provider Marc Harris, who was exposed as a money launderer and fraudster in the March 31, 1998 edition of OffshoreAlert.

 

More than five years later - on June 10, 2003, Harris was arrested in Nicaragua and deported to the United States to face 13 counts of money laundering.

 

Another party which brought a failed libel lawsuit was the UK/offshore-based international financial services conglomerate Imperial Consolidated, which was exposed by OffshoreAlert starting in November, 1999.

 

Nearly three years later, in June 2002, Imperial Consolidated collapsed after approximately $345 million was defrauded from clients and a criminal investigation is now being carried out by the UK's Serious Fraud Office.


How do we do it?

Attend OffshoreAlert's second Due Diligence & Asset Recovery Symposium and you will learn some of our investigative techniques that can help to protect your assets and reputation.

Attendees at our Symposium will receive more than 100 pages of hard-copy educational material about due diligence and asset recovery. An application is being made for attorney and accounting attendees to receive Continuing Legal Education and Continuing Professional Education credits, respectively, as they did at last year's Symposium.
