William Morro arrested for OneCoin money laundering
William Morro has been arrested on OneCoin money laundering charges.
As per an April 23rd superseding indictment charging Morro with bank fraud;
Morro knowingly execute[d] … a scheme … to defraud a financial institution … and to obtain moneys, funds, credits, assets, securities and other property … by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations and promises.
The “scheme” Morro (right) was allegedly part of saw him “conceal the source of origin and funds connected to OneCoin”.
In his role as an alleged OneCoin money launderer, Morro made false statements to banks to conceal the origin of stolen OneCoin investor funds.
In or about 2016, William Morro received funds connected to OneCoin into bank accounts that he controlled in China and caused a portion of those proceeds to be transferred to other accounts, including to a bank account held at a bank in the United States, and did not disclose, among other things, that the funds were derived from OneCoin.
Between March and April 2016, Morro is alleged to have laundered “approximately $35 million” for OneCoin. Between April and June 2016 Morro allegedly laundered another $6.2 million.
Although William Morro is relatively unknown to me, he has made an appearance on BehindMLM.
In September 2020 BehindMLM reader Semjon tied Morro to convicted OneCoin money launderers Mark Scott and Gilbert Armenta.
I may elaborate at some point but William Charles Morro has been a key figure in Armenta’s schemes — including OneCoin related ones.
With Armenta, Morro acquired and destroyed banks in Georgia and Zambia for Ruja… I wonder if Morro has been or will be arrested too.
Morro was arrested on April 23rd. In addition to prison time, Morro’s indictment also seeks forfeiture of ill-gotten gains.
Update 25th April 2024 – William Morro has pled guilty to one count of bank fraud.
Islam brothers next?
The DOJ thus far have gone after the executive/financial side of OneCoin. Not sure if they’ll progress to promoters seeing most of them are European and European authorities don’t care.
I was surprised they didn’t charge him after Mark Scott’s trial ended. Especially since they went after David Pike, his partner, and of course Gilbert Armenta.
The US big promoters are wondering if they are next. Tom McMurrain, Glenn Smith, Sal Leto, Maruice Katz, Denis Murdock, Bob Byrum, Grant Cardone, Chris Principe, Ed Ludbrook, John Reilly, Richard Marks, Robert Townsend, George Krum are the first to come to mind. I know there were several others.
Especially since OC was not registered in the US and all US people used offshore accounts and VPN’s to get around OC’s wink/nod claim US citizens could not participate.
Denis Murdock is outed as an American agent sent to entrap Konstantin and get him to the US in Veselina Valkova’s biography.
You can’t make this stuff up but you can apparently make up Denis Murdock
A direct quote. This should be compulsory reading for anyone following the OneCoin saga.
Mr Onion = Duncan Arthur
Mr Artichoke = Konstantin Ignatov
The American = Denis Murdock
The “a few network members” = Simon & Tiffany Le, Fred Fok
Looking forward to Ken Labine, the Canadian from Edmonton Alberta, getting his day in court.
Mr Bitcoin Norway… Bjorn Bjerke; get the F over it already.
In a year’s time this will be forgotten.
If your claim to fame is that you maybe would have got recruited by Ruja – & I have a statement from the recruitment agency that your recollection isn’t really spot on (you’re full of it – take it up with them) and it doesn’t really match what the three other individuals went through at the same time (myself included), your claim to fame is a claim to lame.
OneCoin was a classic ponzi, it had zero to do with crypto, payments, whatever, it’s a fraud.
You and your hangers on didn’t kill it, didn’t disrupt it, etc, it lives on. Ruja won. She will never be found and frankly considering that I had to keep reminding her of who you are, she couldn’t care less.
I don’t want to take anything away from what the crew in Sofia put you through. Those threats, hate, etc, were very real. I lived it too.
We got that.
You got your fifteen minutes of fame, mazeltov.
If Ruja is the defining thing in your career or life you have a problem. And you didn’t even know her

Veselina Valkova has obviously forgotten that Denis Murdock proudly presented himself as President at DealShaker USA on LinkedIn.

Denis Murdock also visited the fraud center in Sofia and was warmly welcomed by Konstantin Ignatov and former “Captain” and “Crown Diamond” Simon Le from Vietnam.

The face-to-face meeting between Denis Murdock and Duncan Arthur, who created the “New DealShaker”, was also documented on Facebook.

In addition, Denis Murdock has claimed on his website that OneCoin can achieve a return of 84,000% without risk. Unfortunately I can’t upload the screenshot at the moment, but I have it! Here is the link to the WebArchive with the claim:

Denis was too good a OneCoin IMA to be true. Valkova saw it. And she might be the stupidest person I’ve met
They should at least go after the big promoters and income earners, wherever they are, working together with Interpol or Scotland Yard.
The 3 brothers from Italy, the Clown from Holland and his ex-wife and brother in law, the Finnish coke sniffer on steroids, Jose the Latin lover, the Islam gang just to name a few.
It would maybe start to doubt on people that promoting and earning in one of these programs, when proven a scam, might get you in jail and not just on the highway to Dubai, Panama, Belize or wherever stake-out place for the rest of your life.
