Sistema financiero trabaja estable: SHCP ante señalamientos por presunto lavado de dinero de bancos

Confirman intervención financiera a tres instituciones mexicanas. Gobierno federal y CNBV aplican medidas por financiamiento irregular.


Por Paola Ramírez | Reportera                                                       

El secretario de Hacienda, Edgar Amador, confirmó que CIBanco, Intercam Banco y Vector Casa de Bolsa enfrentaron problemas en sus líneas de financiamiento. La medida se aplicó tras las acusaciones del Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos por presunto lavado de dinero.

Las afectaciones se detectaron después del cierre de operaciones financieras del miércoles 26 de junio. A raíz de ello, la Secretaría de Hacienda, el Banco de México, el Instituto para la Protección al Ahorro Bancario y la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores decidieron intervenir de forma temporal.

La intervención tuvo carácter gerencial, lo que implicó sustituir a los órganos administrativos de las tres instituciones. El propósito fue proteger los intereses del público ahorrador e inversionistas ante un escenario de incertidumbre.

Las autoridades aplicaron estas medidas preventivas tras detectar señales de vulnerabilidad en el sistema de financiamiento. Las acciones fueron coordinadas para contener cualquier riesgo en el mercado mexicano.

Señalamientos por lavado de dinero

El jueves 27 de junio, la CNBV decretó formalmente la intervención gerencial en Vector Casa de Bolsa. La decisión se tomó después de que la Red de Control de Delitos Financieros (FinCEN) emitió acusaciones en su contra.

La dependencia estadounidense vinculó a estas tres entidades financieras con esquemas de lavado de dinero operados por grupos del crimen organizado. Por ello, prohibió a bancos bajo jurisdicción de Estados Unidos realizar transferencias relacionadas.

El Departamento del Tesoro aseguró que las transferencias y operaciones de esas instituciones representaban riesgos para el sistema financiero internacional. Las medidas se alinearon con regulaciones internacionales contra financiamiento ilícito.

Como parte de la intervención, fueron removidos los representantes legales y directivos de las instituciones afectadas. La acción buscó evitar desestabilización en el sistema financiero nacional y contener posibles afectaciones a terceros.

Respaldan solidez del sistema

Durante la conferencia matinal encabezada por Claudia Sheinbaum, el titular de Hacienda subrayó que el sistema bancario mexicano opera sin interrupciones. Afirmó que la banca en México mantiene estabilidad y fortaleza frente a desafíos externos.

El funcionario aseguró que las acciones adoptadas tienen carácter preventivo y no implican un riesgo sistémico. También señaló que existe coordinación plena con autoridades regulatorias y financieras para garantizar el orden institucional.

Explicó que se mantuvo comunicación con inversionistas, agentes del mercado y entidades del sector financiero. El objetivo fue brindar certidumbre a los participantes del sistema económico nacional e internacional.

Aseguró que los recursos de los ahorradores están protegidos, así como las operaciones habituales de clientes. Las medidas se aplicaron conforme al artículo 141 de la Ley del Mercado de Valores.

Coordina respuesta con autoridades

El Banco de México participó activamente en las decisiones de intervención aplicadas a las tres entidades. También lo hicieron el IPAB y la CNBV, en atención a sus respectivas competencias normativas.

El documento oficial de la intervención fue difundido por las redes sociales de la CNBV el mismo jueves. Ahí se justificó la medida con base en la protección de derechos de inversionistas.

La CNBV indicó que estas decisiones se relacionan con las consecuencias de las sanciones del Departamento del Tesoro. En el mismo sentido, aclaró que se trató de una respuesta inmediata a medidas externas.

Finalmente, Edgar Amador reiteró que el sistema financiero mexicano sigue operando con normalidad. Subrayó que el cumplimiento regulatorio y la vigilancia institucional garantizan su integridad. –sn–

CNBV interviene Vector Casa de Bolsa

Medida busca proteger a inversionistas. Toman control tras señalamientos en EU.

Por Deyanira Vázquez | Reportera                                        

La Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV) decretó la intervención gerencial de Vector Casa de Bolsa, con el respaldo de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP). La medida se basó en el artículo 141 de la Ley del Mercado de Valores.

El anuncio ocurrió esta noche de jueves, luego de las intervenciones realizadas previamente en CIBanco e Intercam Banco, también señalados por autoridades estadounidenses en investigaciones sobre posible lavado de dinero.

Según el comunicado, el propósito de la intervención fue sustituir a los órganos administrativos y representantes legales, a fin de garantizar los derechos de los inversionistas y acreedores de dicha institución financiera.

La acción se tomó debido a las posibles consecuencias de las medidas anunciadas por el Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos, específicamente por la Oficina para el Control de Delitos Financieros (FinCEN).

Acción conjunta con la SHCP

La CNBV informó que la intervención fue avalada por la Junta de Gobierno y contó con la participación activa de la SHCP. El objetivo principal fue preservar la integridad del sistema financiero mexicano.

La decisión se produjo tras analizar los posibles efectos sobre el público inversionista ante los señalamientos contra Vector Casa de Bolsa, la cual figura en informes de autoridades de Estados Unidos por posibles vínculos con esquemas ilícitos.

El documento oficial aseguró que la CNBV continuará trabajando en favor de la estabilidad financiera del país, con énfasis en la protección a usuarios, inversionistas y acreedores.

Previamente, la CNBV había aplicado la misma medida en CIBanco S.A. e Intercam Banco S.A., instituciones también mencionadas por el Departamento del Tesoro en un informe publicado el 25 de junio.

Vector rechaza acusaciones

Antes del anuncio de la CNBV, Vector Casa de Bolsa emitió un comunicado donde rechazó cualquier imputación que afectara su integridad institucional. La firma negó vínculos con actividades ilícitas.

Según el pronunciamiento, la SHCP solicitó pruebas a Estados Unidos, pero no recibió documentación que acreditara conductas ilegales. La empresa reiteró su disposición para colaborar con autoridades mexicanas y estadounidenses.

La institución subrayó que las inversiones de sus clientes están respaldadas por los instrumentos financieros en los que fueron depositadas. Estos activos se encuentran custodiados en el Instituto para el Depósito de Valores.

Vector sostuvo que cumple con todos los lineamientos de regulación financiera aplicables y que opera bajo supervisión de organismos competentes en México.

Respaldo a clientes e inversionistas

La CNBV explicó que la intervención busca asegurar que las operaciones de Vector Casa de Bolsa continúen sin riesgos para los usuarios. Además, se designarán nuevos administradores temporales.

La medida se aplicó como parte de un paquete de acciones preventivas del sistema financiero mexicano, orientadas a mitigar cualquier efecto adverso derivado de investigaciones internacionales.

El proceso de intervención será temporal, mientras se define la situación jurídica y operativa de la firma ante las autoridades regulatorias nacionales. –sn–

@hisold My bank stopped issuing #girocard cards with #magstrip 10+ years ago as magstrip was phased out and #NFC was phased in as well as #PSD1 being introduced.

  • Even before that merchants rarely accepted magstrips and those who did asked for #ID as soon as purchases [i.e. fuel at a gas station) exceeded like €100 because unlike #Chip + #PIN the payment processor does not guarantee them that the payment will be accepted and the amount guaranteed.

That's the main push factor: Alongside lower processing fees and faster processing, the Chip+PIN & #NFC systems actually request a blockage of the amount and will automatically decline without incuring fees if the balance / limit is below that amount - sometimes even before the PIN has been entered (it'll just not show it until the PIN is entered so fraudsters can't just abuse this as a means to check balance.

  • There's a nice podcast with #JohnBoseak where he explains how stuff used to [and allegeldy still does] work in the #USA re: #CreditCards. Given that I worked for a #PaymentProcessor in the past this is some basic knowledge re: #security, because one needs to understand how stuff like CNP ("Card not Present") works and how the system is architected to the point that even if someone were to hack the database of said payment processor, they'd never find any CCs or the CVVs stored there at all.

It's also insightful because #fraud would be way more rampant if the card issuer, payment processor and card system operator [i.e. AMEX, VISA, MasterCard] didn't all run their own AFE [Anti-Fraud Engine] each automatically assessing risks within less than a second for every transaction.

  • That's why one can get their #CC blocked when using a #VPN and why fraudsters need the location of their victims because if I had a CC and used it regularly and someone were to try to swipe a skilled copy of that at a Walmart or Best Buy on the East Coast of the USA less than 24 hours of my last use in Germany, that would automatically get declined as fraud and the person at the cashier will call security because noone is travelling that quickly that far.

But that's just some cold OSINT based off #TechSupport and peeking behind the curtains professionally...

  • There's way more but I can't go into details on that.

Rest assured if you have a CC you can be as certain that someone tried to abuse it as I'm certain my bank blocked fraudulent money orders against my account because of AFEs working - it's just > 99% of all fraud attempts get blocked instantly and merchants rate-limited or kicked off the system when they do something suspicious.

  • Same reason why one can't frame someone for a crime by just wiring obviously illicit funds to their account: AML (Anti-Money Laundering) will catch that and unless the account holder were to ask "Where's the money/transaction?" #FinCEN et. al. won't even bother calling the account holder up simply because "oops I wired money to the wrong account. Can you please send it back?"- #scam is a well-known method to turn unsuspecting people into money launderers.

So yeah, that "#magstrip" may be just lacquer but unless it's specifically advertised otherwise only holds the CC & CVV as well as service codes [i.e. chip+pin only] to tell the terminal "Don't accept magstrip, mandate Chip+PIN"]...

  • Outside the #USA, this is the norm due to #PSD2 exceeding #PCIDSS by quite a lot!

Only underdeveloped countries like the #US still use #Magstrips and #credit and not Chip+PIN & #debit!

If the feds wanted assistance in stemming the flow of illegal crude oil & gas from outside sources, they could name the US buyers (aka consignees) that purhcase the product from the cartels. #FinCen #Treasury #law

Businesses all over the country are learning a day before Christmas Eve that they have until New Year's day to file ownership info to FinCEN, on the threat of severe penalties.

To be clear, there was a stay on the reporting requirements which a Federal appeals code decided to remove today.

#CTA requires most businesses, including small businesses to file information of beneficial owners to #fincen. Fair enough, I guess. But it is written so stupidly broad that it covers fricking #hoa associations. They are a hard bit of money laundering or something, I don't know. It's hard enough to get them to launder gym towels.

Что такое AML, как очистить или купить чистую криптовалюту

Приватный кошелёк-миксер Wasabi Wallet AML (Anti-Money Laundering) — относительно новая часть регуляций KYC , которые разрослись с принятием USA PATRIOT Act после теракта 9/11. Как обычно, власти используют теракты для закручивания гаек и ущемления прав граждан на десятилетия вперёд (если не навсегда). Все уже забыли, зачем это вводилось, и начали раздеваться разуваться перед входом в самолёт, как будто так положено. Если вкратце, AML — набор мер для предотвращение отмывания денег, финансирования терроризма и другой незаконной деятельности. Изначально термин появился в банковской среде, но позже перекочевал в крипту. В криптоиндустрии AML встретили в штыки , потому что это явная угроза приватности. В современном цифровом мире приватность — синоним безопасности. У нас тут в интернете никаких терактов не было, к чему ваши банковские извращения? Предъявлять паспорт при покупке крипты, что дальше — бензин по паспорту?

If you own or are part of a board of directors of a business of any size in the US, new regulatory filings are coming in to effect. By the end of the year you have to file what's called a "Beneficial Ownership Information Report" or #BOI / #BOIR with the US government agency, #FINCEN.

Filing the report costs nothing if you do it yourself, but there are pretty severe financial penalties for not doing it.

I've been getting notifications about it for about 48 hours that the deadline is fast approaching, and the #phishing #scammers are already jumping on this bandwagon.

This morning I got an email from the website boifilings[dot]co. The website and email claims to come from the "U.S Business Compliance Commission" which is...not a government agency, but a private company.

They do absolutely no validation on any information in the form they link to, other than the credit card number you enter to pay the $250 (!) they're asking you to pay for what is a free service.

Oh yeah, and they list a street address in their contact information, but a Google Street View of that address shows that it's the disused back door of a windowless warehouse or storage shed. You might call it the Four Seasons Total Landscaping of government agencies.

This may not be criminal, but it's still shady AF.

FINCEN has a FAQ about the process here: fincen.gov/boi-faqs

To sum up:

☑️ Named intentionally to sound like a government agency
☑️ Uses a logo on its email and webpage that makes it look like a US government agency
☑️ Wants to charge money for a service that is otherwise free
☑️ Does a terrible job at doing the service they are charging for
☑️ Business address corresponds to an unmarked, windowless storage warehouse back door
☑️ No guarantee that they won't just take the money and run

BOIR form from scam website points to address that is a warehouse in Boise, IDBOIR form asks for $250 to file something that is otherwise free to file, and does no validation on any of the form inputEmail from "US Business Compliance Commission" with official looking government-esque logo. It's all bullshit, all the way down.Google Street View of the headquarters of the "US Business Compliance Commission"

Just in case you were wondering why yes, there is a #crypto angle to the massive #TDBank money laundering scandal.

Turns out a big chunk of the fines levied by #FinCen for the massive drug money laundering facilitated by TD Bank was because "over $420 million [sent] to a financial institution offering cryptocurrency services in the high-risk jurisdiction of #Colombia."

Curious if anyone has any guesses as to what crypto company that is or was.

edit: my current guess is that the crypto company is #Kado, a Colombian company that trades crypto for cash and prepaid debit cards and uses #FortressTrust (FKA #PrimeTrust, a #Nevada company long rumoured to be connected to the italian mafia), to do (probably fake) KYC/AML.

from an international cryptocurrency exchange platform. where the purpose. ultimate originators, and source of funds were unknown to TD Bank. Despite this high volume of funds from unknown sources, TD Bank continued to ocess transactions for Customer Gmufi C. including the facilitation of over $420 million to a financial institution offering cryptocurrency services in the high-risk jurisdiction of Colombia. TD Bank Emcess:d these transactions on behalf of Customer G-ronfi C. due in part to a lack of clear controls applicable to customers dealing in cryptocurrency: the limited high- level written policies the Bank had in place relating to virtual assets alluded to the requirements for certain additional controls and monitoring. However. there is no evidence any enhanced controls were ever applied to Customer Group C’s extensive transactions with virtual asset service providers.

Despite the high volume of suspicious transactions and “red flags™ associated with high-risk jurisdictions and rapid movement of funds within a short timeframe. TD Bank failed to proactively report this suspicious activity until it received multiple law enforcement inquiries about Customer Group C. Furthermore. four months after Customer Group C was onboarded by the Bank. a financial regulator ordered an affiliate of Customer Group C to cease its operations. and its assets were ordered to be liquidated for the benefit of investors. TD Bank failed to conduct appropriate due diligence

"Extraordinary. Tether is in talks with commodity trading shops to help finance their trades, claiming they can offer a lower cost of capital and also be useful in trades involving sanctioned entities." - Joe Wiesenthal

Sanctioned entities means companies in countries like #Russia, #Iran, and #NorthKorea. Tether already has been proven to enable sanctions evasion in the first two of those and money laundering by the third.

Remember that if #Trump wins #Tether will get to hand pick who runs FinCen, the OCC, the FBI, the DOJ, and the Defense Dept. of the United States because the guy who manages Tether's money is the chairman of the Trump transition team (#HowardLutnick).
