New article on Frank Schneider (machine translated):

The incredible journey of the spy who came from Luxembourg

Imprisoned in Nancy and demanded by American justice, Frank Schneider has a romantic past.

This “pure product of the Luxembourg intelligentsia” has been mixed up with an incredible story of espionage. Before being arrested in an equally mind-boggling international scam case.

Frank Schneider doesn’t really look like James Bond. This well-rounded 50-year-old from Luxembourg is nevertheless a spy. A real.

Before being arrested in Moselle and imprisoned in Nancy last April, he was number 3 of the SREL, the Luxembourg secret service.

Which led him to be implicated in a barely believable state scandal which has been the head of the Grand Duchy of the press for years.

The story looks like a spy thriller scenario worthy of John Le Carré, revised and corrected in a colorful comedy style by Michel Audiard of the “Barbouzes”.

“The end of a model of society”

It all started with the revelation in 2012 of the existence of a secret recording of Luxembourg Prime Minister at the time, Jean-Claude Juncker, made by the head of SREL.

The latter used a watch-recorder, irresistibly reminiscent of a 007 gadget, to sneak in the conversation he was having with the head of government. Clearly, Juncker was spied on by his own spies. Which is rather messy.

Why this twisted blow? Because the Luxembourg secret services would have liked to cover themselves in a sensitive bugging case of a computer scientist who had given them an encrypted CD with explosive content.

Baptized by the improbable code name of Frisbee, this CD was indeed supposed to contain the recording of a conversation between the Prime Minister and Grand Duke Henry about the possible involvement of a member of the royal family in a series of attacks in the 80s. Difficult to be more incredible.

The affair led to the fall, in 2013, of Jean-Claude Juncker and his government. A real political tsunami.

“This marked the end of a model of society because it had been 70 years since Luxembourg was ruled by the same party with a charismatic leader who had been Prime Minister for almost 20 years”, summarizes Jean-

Michel Hennebert, editor-in-chief in head of the French-speaking site of Luxemburger Wort.

“He is someone with a very high level of competence”

From revelations to drama, this soap opera ended in February 2020 with a big public unpacking during the trial of three secret service officials including Frank Schneider. Tried for illegal phone tapping, they were released.

Frank Schneider didn’t wait for this ruling to quit the secret service and get back into business. Using his network of acquaintances, he founded Sandstone, a business intelligence company.

“It is a pure product of the Luxembourg intelligentsia. He is someone with a very high level of competence. It also has connections everywhere, including internationally.

Because Luxembourg is certainly a small country, but it is also a major financial center “, analyzes Jean-Michel Hennebert.

In relation to the “cryptoqueen”

Frank Schneider’s new life turned out to be as sulphurous as the previous one. Since he was reportedly in business with Ruja Ignatova, a Bulgarian whose cryptocurrency companies allegedly hid a monumental scam that plagued millions of investors.

Nicknamed the “cryptoqueen”, she has not given any sign of life since 2017. The former spy is suspected by the American justice system of having been her informant and her launderer.

A new soap opera, the latest episode of which is played out before the Nancy Court of Appeal, which examined a request for extradition to the United States.

The Luxembourg spy had settled in a discreet corner

His name is Schneider, Frank Schneider. Profession: ex-secret agent. But that, nobody knew in Joudreville, where the man wanted by the FBI settled with his family, there are already twenty years.

Joudreville, a village of 1,100 souls, nestled somewhere in the green countryside of the Pays-Haut.

A corner not lost either because located only a few kilometers from the Grand Duchy. But an ideal place for those who want to cultivate the art of discretion.

So ask your neighbor to locate Joudreville on a map of the region …

You only live once, so the former spy chose this branded land, a former steel bastion, to lead a quiet existence. And he had done pretty well, until this case broke out.

The thunderclap passed, the amazement erased, the inhabitants resumed their good old habits. Live and thrive in Joudreville. “None of my constituents have spoken to me about him since.

They are not commenting on the case. And it’s not worse ” , testifies Jean-Marc Léon. As he does with any of his fellow citizens, the affable Communist mayor often interacted with the Luxembourger who had become famous in spite of himself.

“He was a quiet but cordial man. We discussed when he came to town hall for administrative procedures. “Since the revelation of the scandal, Jean-Marc Léon has crossed paths with Frank Schneider’s companion.

“We say hello to each other. “And the chosen one is careful not to broach this cryptocurrency story which may not yet have revealed all its secrets …

Frank Schneider comments his own SDNY criminal case from French jail:

Well, we’re at war with the United States. This is an economic war they have declared to us.

Authors such as Ali Laïdi describe this in books and papers on US warfare. Frédéric Pierucci describes this war from the perspective of a victim.

The declaration of war came with the adaptation of certain laws that give U.S. extraterritorial jurisdiction to prosecute punitive legal action.

The foundation of this is the Helms-Burton & The Amato-Kennedy Act of 1996, which protects Washington’s economic interests. I also remember well how that happened.

As the political specialist of US Ambassador Clay Constantinou, who named Bill Clinton in Luxembourg in recognition of co-financing his campaign, I covered Jean-Claude Juncker’s weekly press conference, which he regularly held on Friday after the Cabinet meeting.

One day in the year 96, he looked me straight in the eye and said that he was glad to know that his message was heard directly by those for whom it was intended, and said that Helms-Burton & D’Amato- Kennedy Act would be an act of aggression against Europe.

Commission President Juncker went further by activating the so-called blocking status, which makes it illegal for European companies to comply with US extraterritorial legislation.

“We have a duty, the Commission and the EU, to protect our European businesses,” he said. “We must and will act now,” he added in May 2018.

In his book “Le piège américain”, Pierucci outlines how European companies have been convicted since 2010 to pay a total of about 20 billion US dollars in fines to the US, especially after decisions in the southern district of New York, the same jurisdiction that my extradition asks with the pretext of a possible connection with a supposed «large-scale» fraud.

In fact, this is part of a larger strategy in the context of the economic war and financial globalization with the aim of forcing a person to plead guilty and, with the threat of going to prison for 40 years, forcing me, mainly against European banks, banks and other European companies, with the sole purpose of damaging them – to collect gigantic fines – under the pretext of a war on cryptocurrencies

(machine translated from: guykaiser.lu/frank-schneider-aus-dem-prison-iwwer-den-afghanistan-krich-vum-terror/)

So Frank contextualized his dirty work for Bulgarian mafia’s scam cryptocurrency / MLM-Ponzi as US Government’s war on European companies and cryptocurrency industry.

You just can’t make this s*it up, and the only person who doesn’t find this absolutely hilarious is Frank’s lawyer. 😉

In the text Frank also praises Russian KGB/SVR agent (and a billionaire businessman) Alexander Lebedev for being such a smart and far-sighted individual — compared to those dummy American spooks.

Frank knows him well, because in 2007 he — when working as a SREL angent — devised an operation to further Lebedev’s private business interestes — and by extension the interests of Russian dirty money in Luxembourg & EU — in a dispute KGB-Lebedev had with a Spanish spy (land.lu/page/article/156/6156/DEU/index.html).

This was one of the scandals that showed how rotten SREL under Schneider was.

After SREL, Frank unleashed his corrupt nature unihibited by forming a private intelligence firm & money laundering workshop Sandstone wirh the money of arms trafficker & Saddam Hussein’s bagman ( https://behindmlm.com/companies/onecoin/kuwait-linked-onecoin-ruja-ignatova-to-terrorist-groups/#comment-438107

Frank seems wholly up himself. Understandable given the royalty tier protection he enjoyed in Lichtenstein.

Gonna be fun watching him get steamrolled in the US.

I wonder if King Jayms is going to start a petition campaign to flood the court demanding Frank be released like he did for Konstantin? I am shocked that he hasn’t done this by now.

Unless of course he doesn’t want the faithful to know that Frank has been arrested and sits in jail. Bad for recruiting.

Frank Schneider extradition request case postponed to November 18.

Present this Thursday morning before the Nancy Court of Appeal, the Luxembourg businessman obtained a new suspension following the United States’ request to try him on their territory. On the other hand, it will be fixed on his continued detention in the evening.

The judicial soap opera around Frank Schneider continues.

While the former SREL agent converted into economic intelligence was to be fixed on his fate this Thursday, five months after his arrest at his French home, the Nancy Court of Appeal is once again delaying its judgment. And this, because of the two procedures submitted by Me Marsigny, Parisian lawyer of the Luxembourg businessman.

Namely on the one hand the analysis of a brief of a hundred pages produced by the defense intended to thwart the extradition request formulated by the American justice.

And on the other hand, the request for the release of the fifty-year-old, suspected by the American justice system of fraud and money laundering in the context of the OneCoin affair, a scam the scale of which would amount to at least 3.5 billion dollars. euros and which would have claimed thousands of victims.

During the hearing held this Thursday morning in Nancy, the judges of the Court of Appeal announced that they were postponing their decision on the extradition of the Luxembourger to November 18.

Regarding the request for release, the magistrates will rule this Thursday at 5 p.m.

The defense demanded that the former secret agent be placed under house arrest at his home via the application of an electronic bracelet and that a deposit of 100,000 euros be deposited.

The attorney general, he pleaded for continued detention.
