One of Australia’s leading investigators will discuss how he helped bring down a massive Asian boiler room operation without the involvement of a single police officer at next month’s OffshoreAlert Bangkok conference.
Ken Gamble, who heads intelligence, investigations, and recovery firm IFW Global, will present a session entitled ‘Malaysia’s ‘Operation Tropicana’: The Takedown of a Billion Dollar Boiler Room Gang’.
He will identify the key players, explain how they laundered billions of dollars through Hong Kong banks, went undetected for 15 years, and how millions of dollars were recovered for victims using the powers of the Anti-Money Laundering unit of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, which participated in the operation. The operation also led to the arrest and questioning of 20 bank employees for allegedly turning a blind eye to suspicious transactions.
It is part of OffshoreAlert’s conference on intelligence, investigations, and recovery in high-value international finance at the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok on February 28-29.
