Flere kan bli fengslet i bedragerisak

Headline: "More arrests possible in fraud investigation."

En 33-årig trondheimsmann er fengslet for to nye uker, siktet både for grovt bedrageri og underslag av 18,1 millioner.

A 33 year old from Trondheim is detained for two more weeks, referred for (or charged with) serious fraud & a deficit of ~2.5 million USD

Politiet mener mannen har bedratt 16 000 medlemmer til selskapet PlexPay, og tømt to klientkontoer for over 18 millioner norske kroner. De ser heller ikke bort fra at flere personer kan bli siktet, etter hvert som den omfattende saken rulles opp.

Police believe he's defrauded 16,000 members of Plexypay, & emptied client accounts for over 2.5 million USD.

Trondheimsmannen ble 21. september varetektsfengslet i 14 dager, siktet for underslag etter å ha tappet klientkontoer i selskapet PlexPay. Mandag ble han fengslet for 14 nye dager, men denne gangen er siktelsen utvidet til grovt bedrageri.

He was detained for a further 14 days on Monday, but this time the charges were escalated to serious fraud.

- Den utvidede siktelsen er på bakgrunn av måten vi mener han har bedratt kundene, investorene og medlemmene i selskapet, sier aktor Kjell Erik Waclawczyk til Adresseavisen.

Ingen anmeldelse

No complaints

Til tross for at mannen er siktet for å ha tappet to klientkontoer, og ingen av medlemmene har mottatt penger fra PlexPay siden midten av september, har ingen anmeldt verken 33-åringen eller selskapet. Politiet forsøker nå å komme i kontakt med sentrale personer i PlexPay.

Despite the fact the man is charged with tapping two client accounts, and nobody's been paid since the middle of September, nobody's filed a complaint against either the 33 year old or the company. The police are now attempting to get in contact with the leaders of Plexpay.

My comment: Nice to be able to steal wholesale & not have anybody complain. ;-)

- Gjennom beslag av datautstyr sitter vi nå med liste over utbetalinger som er skjedd til medlemmer av selskapet. Disse opplysningene vil bli brukt videre i etterforskningen, sier aktoren.

"By forensically investigating the computer systems, we now have a list of payments to member of the company. These discoveries will be used to futher the investigation", states a spokesperson.

Politiet aksjonerte mot trondhjemmeren og selskapet da Selbu Sparebank slo alarm, etter at det ble tatt ut store beløp fra klientkontoene.

Flere må avhøres

More people will be questioned.

Etterforskningsleder Odd Arnfinn Rolseth ved Sør-Trøndelag politidistrikt sier til Adresseavisen at de har brukt de siste 14 dagene på å gjennomgå de omfattende beslagene som ble gjort fra 33-åringen og PlexPay. Blant annet er selskapets nett-server beslaglagt, sammen med 33-åringens bil til rundt to millioner norske kroner. Politiet bekrefter at de vil avhøre enkelte av selskapets 16 000 medlemmer i den nærmeste fremtid.

Police state they would like to question some of the companies 16,000 members as soon as possible.

- Vi kan ikke utelukke flere fengslinger i denne saken. Vi er nå inne i en avhørsperiode hvor vi vil innkalle både medlemmer, utenforstående og vitner, sier etterforskningslederen. Det er ikke tatt stilling til om også utenlandske medlemmer vil bli kontaktet, sier Rolseth.

"We can not rule more detentions in this case. We are now in a period of questioning where we will summon members, outsiders & witnesses" states the lead investigator. "It remains to be seen if we will contact foreign members" says Rolseth.

My comment: FinCEN anyone?

Økokrim bistår

I tillegg til at 33-åringen er siktet for underslag, gjennomgår nå politiet hele virksomheten til selve selskapet PlexPay. Siktede har i politiavhør fortalt at firmaet i Trondheim flytter «daglig» penger fra norske konti til en utenlandsk bank. Politiet får også bistand av økokrim i saken, men ønsker foreløpig ikke å gi noen detaljer om hva de er på jakt etter.

PlexPay kom tidligere i år i medienes fokus da de gikk ut og lovte tre prosent rente på innskudd fra sine medlemmer.

33-åringen erkjenner ikke å ha gjort noe ulovlig. Den siktedes forsvarer, Terje Aas, sier til Adresseavisen at hans klient ikke ønsker å komme med noen uttalelse i media. 33-åringen vil i dag gjennomgå ytterlige avhør hos politiet.

Looks like this is the end

If it was a majorly planned scam did they really think they could get away with scamming 16000 people?

If they're guilty I hope they get 10 years plus 'inside' each.

Max and Adster - do you understand Norwegian?

Hi Shell,

Nope, what we missed?

This IS a NEWSPAPER report.............RIGHT???????????????

No but i understand the translation that is below, unless that person is fooling around.

This is the translated version:

According to an article in Adresseavisa today, the 33-year old, who has been in custody for two weeks, was told by the court that he had been fired from his position as CEO in the AS-company in which he is supposed to have embezzeled more than 18 million NOK (3 million USD). He will remain in custody for two more weeks.

FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS
Through his position the ex-CEO had disposal to the AS-company`s two client accounts in Selbu Sparebank.
He has told in posice questioning that the accounts were established because many clients had difficulties transferring money to the company`s bankaccount abroad.

PORSCHE
The 33-year old has, through the whole time, rejected that he has been using money from client accounts for his own purposes. He explains the withdrawals with that the accounts partly contained his own money, and partly "problems with the bank connection". The police claims that he has used money for "own purposes", among them an appartement at Nedre Elvehavn and a Porsche Cayenne. He is also believed to have been transferring money to family members.

CLIENTS DEPOSITS
The money in the accounts is supposed to come from the about 16 000 members of the company PlexPay. The 33-year old has further explained to the police in questioning that the AS-company was established to "control personal information for the PlexPay company". Their further aim was to invest the money, so that they could live up to the promise that investors could get as much as 3 per cent daily interest from their deposits. According to the decision, the clients withdrawals have so far only been financed by clients own deposits.

To me this last paragraph is saying it's a ponzi. The latter members have paid out for the earlier ones withdrawals......

This looks to me like it's all over, as positive as I am on things.

you know it was working till the police came and stopped the servers yeah it stopped paying is SEPT, thats when they took the servers stupid police
they were just starting to work with the new GPS.
its a power play it had been working for a year before now ask the older members we all know the 2% thing works.
looks like your authorites do what ours do go fishing see what we can hook, cause a problem so that you get a problem when there isnt a problem.
then they say see "we told you theres a problem".
then they make a big deal about nothing and make sure the press puts a bad focus on it.
