Armin Ordodary’s Scam Exposed (2024)

Armin Ordodary has received allegations of being a major scammer. Find out if those allegations are true or not in this review.

As we have previously mentioned, con artists frequently allege that the Media violates copyright in its reports and warnings. The con artists use text and image pieces from Media  for this reason, posting them backdated on some obscure websites. The scammers try to stop the content from showing up in Google search results by using the infringement accusations. All of these assertions have been denied by Google thus far. Armin Ordodary used this method most recently. An opportunity to write about him once more.

The turf in Belgrade

One of the hubs for Israeli boiler rooms is Belgrade. Belgrade is dubbed the Manhattan of the Balkans by some. Bright young Belgraders can find appealing careers in boiler rooms. Prominent operators of boiler rooms, such as Armin Ordodary, a resident of Cyprus, are enjoying considerable success. He serves both criminals and licensed investment organisations with boiler room services.

Living and working in Cyprus, Armin Ordodary (LinkedIn) runs two businesses, Benrich Trading Ltd. and Benrich Holdings Ltd., in addition to his other pursuits. Bizserve DOO, formerly known as Upmarkt DOO, is a subsidiary of the latter that runs a boiler room for different frauds in Serbia.

The FSMsmart deception

Through the offshore company FSM Smart Ltd, which is based in the Marshall Islands, Ordodary ran the massive FSMsmart binary options fraud until 2018. Additionally, Ordodary contributed to the creation of broker CRM software. To the best of our knowledge, Ordodary and its fraudulent operations are being looked into by some European authorities; but, as of yet, no legal action has been taken.

In particular, we are aware of one German law enforcement organisation that already maintains a sizable dossier of investigations.

It is also alleged that the boiler rooms run by Ordodary and his Upmarkt, also known as Bizserve, were a part of the Lau Scheme, which was allegedly carried out globally under a number of phoney brand names (read the article here).

Three more arrested in gold smuggling case

Police have arrested three more persons for their alleged involvement in the smuggling of 100 kg of gold to Nepal from Hong Kong. 

Two of them are Chinese nationals while one is Rohan Adukia, son of businessman Rakesh Adukia, who was also arrested in the case.

The Chinese nationals were arrested on Thursday and Adukia on Friday from the Tribhuvan International Airport.

The Department of Immigration of the TIA detained the Chinese nationals on Thursday and handed them over to the police administration on Friday morning. 

The arrested Chinese nationals have been identified as Li Jia Lin and Liu Fuyan.

According to the police, the duo were allegedly trying to flee the country on a Himalayan Airlines flight.

Both the accused are among the prime suspects in Nepal’s biggest gold haul, according to Navaraj Adhikari, Superintendent of Police of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB).

Adukia was arrested when he arrived in Kathmandu from New Delhi, India, via an Indigo flight on Friday.

Earlier, a Chinese national, who was travelling to Chengdu via the TIA, was taken into police custody in connection with the same case.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and Chief of Tribhuvan International Airport Security Office, Arjun Chand said that Adukia was arrested and handed over to the Department of Revenue Investigation (DRI).

Earlier, the DRI raided the house of businessman Rakesh Adukia during the investigation.

 According to the Immigration Department, Rohan left Kathmandu on July 21. According to the record of the Immigration Office of TIA, Rohan was found flying overseas 41 times from Nepal in the last 16 months.

From March 29, 2022 to July 21, 2023, he was found travelling to various countries, including Hong Kong and India for 41 times.

So far, 21 individuals, including three Chinese, a Belgian and an Indian national, have been arrested for their alleged involvement in smuggling the gold

A team from the Department of Revenue Investigation confiscated the gold that was concealed inside motorcycle brake shoes from the Sinamangal area near the TIA on July 18. 

The gold was being transported in a taxi after getting customs clearance from the Tribhuvan International Airport.

The gross weight of the smuggled gold was ascertained to be 155 kilograms, which also included electric shavers, according to officials at the mint division of the Nepal Rastra Bank, which has been entrusted with examining the metal.

However, the actual quantity of the yellow metal remains to be ascertained by the DRI.

Gas Bienestar no dará subsidios

Al principio fueron muchas las voces expertas en economía y energía que reaccionaron con negativa vehemencia al plan de Andrés Manuel López Obrador de que el Estado distribuya en directo Gas LP, pues dada la escasa información —salvo la expuesta en la conferencia matutina con tono propagandista— el imaginario construyó la visión de una nueva y pantagruélica paraestatal…, pero que en realidad sólo opera en Iztapalapa y Azcapotzalco de la CDMX.

El modelo de esa empresa pública asemeja a la de una pinza —de depilar, si gustan, pero pinza al fin— que con la información disponible resulta interesante exponer.

La primera mordaza de la pinza es Pemex, a cargo de Octavio Romero, que lleva el combustible a dos populosas alcaldías y sin que por ahora se contemple agregar otra. La decisión de que Pemex participara en ambas localidades es la convicción de que ahí no existe un mercado, pues domina un solo distribuidor comisionista que ejerce prácticas monopólicas de todo tipo, incluyendo las mafiosas. Por ahora Gas Bienestar no es una nueva Conasupo, pues su alcance es geográfico limitado con el objetivo expreso de generar competencia.

La zona cortante de la pinza son los precios al público; por ahora, la información a través de la página de la Comisión Reguladora de Energía, a cargo de Leopoldo Melchi, revela que el precio del combustóleo sigue las variaciones semanales promedio de la cotización internacional y agrega el costo de distribución que Pemex TI, a cargo de Jorge Luis Basaldúa, calcula le cuesta el servicio. Ello a fin de evitar subsidios que se carguen al déficit público.

Bajo la administración de la Sener, que lleva Rocío Nahle, se plantea que el esquema de precios sin subsidios sea acorde al T-MEC y no genere competencias desleales que deriven en litigios por todo el mundo.

La segunda mordaza de la pinza son los precios máximos que se pretende funcione como “faro de precios” que guíe las cotizaciones al mayoreo y al medio mayoreo de los grandes distribuidores y dejen de seguir (“para no dejar nada en la mesa”) los elevados precios de los distribuidores comisionistas aplican al público. El objetivo de esta mordaza es contener el efecto inercial de la inflación en la cadena del Gas LP, siendo que el faro es guiado con datos y vigilancia de Profeco, que retomó Ricardo Sheffield.

La pinza completa tiene duración de 6 meses. Es una herramienta que podría reutilizarse en otras emergencias; está acotada y recurre a mecanismos de mercado. Que así se mantenga… de otra manera se materializará el temor que muchos tenemos.

La Pinza y sobre Windstar, por altos precios. Precisamente la pinza de Estado para contener la especulación, prácticas anticompetitivas y comercio ilegal de hidrocarburos está sobre la empresa Windstar, de Marcos y Miguel Zaragoza Fuentes, cuando menos desde abril pasado cuando la UIF, de Santiago Nieto, supuestamente inició indagatoria tras recibir denuncias del caso. A fines de julio pasado la CRE y Sener suspendieron por 10 días el permiso de importación de Windstar bajo el marco de una auditoría que se les efectuó en sus instalaciones en Hermosillo; aunque oficialmente no se informó el motivo de la suspensión (la primera que se realiza sobre una compañía grande), trascendió que el señalamiento que hizo Profeco en una conferencia matutina en Palacio Nacional de que Windstar es una de las empresas que vende a mayor precio y mayor margen en perjuicio de los consumidores, motivó a la autoridad para ahondar su investigación a fin de detectar sí la firma importa combustibles para huachicolear la hacienda pública. El momento es crucial para que La Pinza muestre su efectividad.

Septiembre: obligatorio uso de Carta Porte. No hay vuelta atrás: el 30 de septiembre será obligatorio que toda la mercancía movilizada en el país demuestre su origen lícito (al igual que los servicios de carga) con el uso en las facturas de la Carta Porte diseñada por el SAT de Raquel Buenrostro. Esta innovación será especialmente importante para los trenes, pues como señala David Camacho, director de la Agencia Reguladora de Transporte Ferroviario, esta innovación redunda en mejores precios a los consumidores finales al garantizar que se apliquen tarifas de carga fuera de las registradas, mejora la trazabilidad de mercancías y dará mayor eficiencia a las cadenas logísticas.
