FBI celebrates Frank Schneider’s arrest, thanks French police
The FBI are feeling confident about Frank Schneider’s arrest.
Two days ago two FBI agents arrived in the French city of Nancy. The reason for the visit was to ‘thank French investigators SRPJ and the BRI after the arrest in April 2021 in Meurthe-et-Moselle of‘ Frank Schneider.
The SRPJ are France’s Regional Administration of Judicial Police. BRI is the Research and Intervention Brigade, a division of the French National Police.
One of the visiting FBI agents was from the US. The other was from the US French embassy in Paris.
To mark the occasion, a ceremony was held at which “French and American police officers received medals and gifts”.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chief Maurice Albert stated;
This is the first time that we have worked with the American authorities and in particular a flagship federal agency such as the FBI.
Cooperation with the United States is going very well, especially when it comes to cases of terrorism or organized crime.
As per a report from France Bleu, the US has ‘until June 28 to transmit its extradition request’ for Schneider.
In addition to the meeting with the French counterparts, presumably this is what the FBI agents are in Nancy to finish up.
Update 20th November 2021 – Frank Schneider’s extradition to the US will now be decided on January 19th.
In the meantime French authorities have released Schneider to monitored home detention.
Here is a video from the event:

I was going to include that shot of the agents but without Frank in the shot there’s not much point.
They should have wheeled him out and sat him at a table like the Thai police do.

We are publishing 3 previously unpublished European bank accounts actively used in the OneCoin fraud operations.
The Polish and Danish bank accounts have been the main European bank accounts used by OneCoin ponzi-pyramid fraud for couple of years.
All these accounts are of course 3rd party accounts subject to money laundering.
All these banks have been previously contacted.
The Bulgarian bank account holder is a Bulgarian company called Educational Systems Ltd (ЕДЮКЕЙШЪНЪЛ СИСТЕМС) whose Manager is Венцислав Славчев Геров (Ventsislav Gerov) who links to Bulgarian organized crime.
portal.registryagency.bg/CR/en/Reports/ActiveConditionTabResult?uic=206360676
According to our Bulgarian journalist sources, in the 90ies and early 00s Венцислав Славчев Геровwas (Ventsislav Gerov) was involved with VIS-2 – the group to which “the Cocaine King” Amanatidis Taki belonged. But while Taki was in drug trafficking, Gerov was in thefts, nicknamed “The Fox”.

The above Bulgarian bank account has been recently used to collect at least the planned July OneCoin fraud event ticket fees at oneecosys.com
The Polish and Danish bank accounts have been used by OneCoin for several purposes including PowerPack etc. ponzi package payments.
I am skeptical, no record of any case against Schneider in PACER.
Have never heard of medal exchanging over a routine extradition case. Also time limits under French law should have triggered a public hearing by now.
The Lux Times story hedges as well.
Gilbert Armenta’s case was hidden from PACER for couple of years.. So I don’t think you can make any conclusions about PACER records not showing (yet?).
What exactly are you skeptical of? What do you think this is then?
Pacer isn’t surprising. The first OneCoin indictments were filed under seal in 2017. We didn’t see them till 2019.
Does French due-process apply when someone is arrested on an international warrant? Schneider hasn’t been charged in France AFAIK.
Thanks for sharing! I think I’ve found new Polish-Danish OneCoin money laundering ring with this info.
DANSK ÆDELMETAL FINANS ApS (opencorporates.com/companies/dk/33506414) seems to be connected to gem trading, at least judging from people who ran it.
The latest manager was Dennis Sodelius Lindberg who has backgroud in diamond industry:
(sequoyah.dk/about-sequoyah/?lang=en)
So does its former manager Sidsel Dalby Glerup
(dalbydiamonds.dk/vejledning/diamond-masterclass/)
The former name of ÆDELMETAL FINANS is “NICUMA ApS”, which shares the name with Polish entity NICUMA SP Z O O that previously known to be OneCoin money laundering connected (–> kusetukset.blogspot.com/2016/10/onecoins-frozen-bank-accounts-listed.html).
So they have used Lindberg’s money laundering service at least since 2019.
The Polish NICUMA SP Z O O (KRS: 0000638864) has been renamed as GOLD BAUER Z O O(KRS 0000638864, ), and like its Danish Nicuma counterpart, has connections to Mr. Lindberg and his business partner — also a gem trader — David Fredrick Andrade –> rejestr.io/krs/638864/gold-bauer
Their Maltese firm has registered number of diomond themed domains:
domainbigdata.com/nj/HtmbHF3szyBvrx9JOcWQlw
Gem/precious metal trade is classical money laundering method used drug traffickers.
This could be yet another example of “Bulgarian Ecobar” Taki putting his contacts in the service of OneCoin money laundering.

Igoria Trade SA is one of “IGO”-named companies of Wojciech Grzegorz Kuliński who seems to run IT comapnies–> rejestr.io/osoby/725039/wojciech-kulinski
His firm IgoLogic(igologic.pl/en/) offer KYC servives, and is connected to Netrix Ventures (rejestr.io/krs/768245/netrix-ventures-spolka-z-ograniczona-odpowiedzialnoscia-it-energo-alternatywna-spolka-inwestycyjna).
As can be seen, Netrix is ulitmately owned by Tadeusz Piotr Kościński — a current finance minister of Poland(!!!) –> pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadeusz_Kościński
Again, OneCoin money laundering not too far away from high level polirics. 😉
The British branch IGORIA TRADE LTD with its Polish director Wojciech Grzegorz Kuliński was dissolved on April 20, 2021.
share-your-photo.com/e5edba78bf
find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09304142
Founded in 2014 at £ 1,000, this company has only grown its capital to £ 3,768 in seven years.
igoriatrade.com names further branches for Wojciech Grzegorz Kuliński in the USA (Igoria Trade Inc.) and Singapore (IgoriaCard Pte. Ltd.) until March 2020.
Singapore? Why does this spontaneously remind me of Manon Hübenthal (IMS) and her bank details in Singapore …
Financial transactions can also be processed via trejdoo.com. This portal is also owned by Wojciech Grzegorz Kulinski. Service phone numbers for many countries are published on trejdoo.com, including the United States. Two portals that provide similar services. Why? Does that make money laundering easier?
Should we remember this face?

Regarding the Educational Systems Ltd.
As WhistleBlowerFin wrote in comment #6, the guy who runs the company seems to have a tad “colourful” history.
Here is machine translation of an article that goes deeper into Mr. Gerov’s background — some really nice fellah OneCoiniacs are sending their money:
(http://senzacia.net/%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%BE/%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8-%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0-%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%8F%D1%82-%D1%88%D0%B5%D1%84-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%82-3521)
^ Yeah it’s almost hilarious that the July OneCoin Plovdiv event ticket money goes to the company and bank account of the Bulgarian “boss of thieves” – Ventsi The Fox..
OneCoin working with the boss of thieves Ventsi The Fox. At least OneCoin lives up to its reputation.. 😀
And good luck getting your money back from Ventsi the Fox in the case the event gets cancelled. Per the quoted article, even the big arms trafficker didn’t get everything back from Ventsi.
I tried to check what the “oneecosys.com” Plovdid event website Terms & Conditions say about cancellations & returning of money, but I didn’t find any T&C.
There is “I’ve read T&C” box in the ticket order page, which you have to tick in order to make the ticket purchase, but when I clicked the link to T&C, it goes to “page not found”.
The whole thing seems a bit “scammy”…
Tell me about it.. oneecosys.com site advertises a seating plan of a venue for 1320 people..
i.imgur.com/SWm0DR6.png
But they have actually booked Hotel Imperial’s “Ballroom” which even though is the biggest conference hall in Hotel Imperial, but still can only fit max 300 people, and is only 10.5 meters wide…
Needless to say, this is not the most expensive venue booking. And easy to cancel.
i.imgur.com/um4haq0.png
But I actually hope the event won’t be cancelled because it’s more comedy gold. 😀
The scammers advertise on oneecosys.com page:
hotelimperial.bg/meetings-events/
Can’t wait for the “massive” event, and all the laughs and facepalms it provides. 😀
Behind paywall but:
(luxtimes.lu/en/luxembourg/extradition-us-submits-extradition-request-for-luxembourg-ex-spy-schneider-60d5ef94de135b9236e17693)
Let’s see if there’ll be something on PACER soon…
Formal extradition request = confirmation of an indictment unless I’m mistaken.
Probably going to be a blockbuster once it’s made public.

Frank Schneider was until recently also in the Board of Directors at AMCHAM LUXEMBOURG – American Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg:

The fraud event is set to start the day after tomorrow. A short video with OneCoin preacher Cordel “KingJayms” James on Cristi Calina’s channel:

It seems Frank Schneider’s possible extradition won’t happen soon, but will perhaps take years:
(Machine tranlsted from: bienpublic.com/amp/faits-divers-justice/2021/07/13/l-etrange-arrestation-d-un-ancien-espion-luxembourgeois)
Great news. Frank Schneider’s extradition might happen a bit faster after all;

Next Wednesday, woooh! Serbia take notes.
Frank Schneider won’t be deported yet. The Nancy court of appeal court requested additional information from the United States. Schneider will remain in detention in France until the end of September, since a new hearing has already been set for September 23.

Everything OneCoin related happens in slow motion :(.
Just imagine how many BILLIONS would’ve been saved had just Authorities arrested and held more of the perps (still) promoting the scam. Uggh.
I s’pose their still actively tracking new money laundering trails and infiltrating the criminal networks? You’d think?
*Le sigh*
OneCoin scammers are still using the Igoria Trade SA’s bank account in Santander Bank Polska for their global bank wire payments, despite that we reported this to the Polish National Public Prosecutor’s Office and District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw 3 months ago already..
