millions in the philippines. it's the business hub of the philippines where multinational corporations to nova millions in annual profits but then the country district of manila has a dark underbelly place sun news and making a fortune in duty cash by trading fake she's. just a lot a savant report. in secrecy destroy them private investigators in cyber crime expert can gamble is in the final days of an operation to blow open an organized crime ring run by x. petrie it's in the city. we want to document all the people that they're talking to whoever they have contact with take photos of them we need to figure out hey all

the associated members of the syndicate gliders. the fraudsters have gypped investors around the world is isolating them shares the don't exist then stealing their money so who avi's goss what are their nationalities. they're americans they come from. from new york area new jersey. for almost 2 years can gamble has been watching them he has the only males their bank account details and recordings of their voices he knows everything about them. to have any idea that you're onto them. now and you're the stone that stays like that for a walk. oblivious to this covert attention the gang operates business as usual the scammers pretend to be from investment houses in america in real life they called manila. some have filipino wives and children into have lived here for 20 years.

well a very clever at at what they do at the securities fraud but they're not very clever covering their tracks. the crime ring is about to be exposed because one of their own his taking a courageous calls informant x. will call him is about to turn on his associates except they don't know it i meet him in a discreet location on the edge of manila. a. good 1st. informant x. is a man with friends an influence on both sides of the law. on the do it all guy i'm a freak sort of that's what i do for these guys they have some problems they come to a try and accommodate most of the time or both of those. which now informant takes is planning to help engineer the downfall of the organized crime gang he works fall

and along the why he'll reveal to me the in a workings of an international fraud syndicate it begins with him secretly recording gang members discussing their cut of profits from the scam. allan's. then his decision to inform on the gang takes an extraordinary new dimension so. what's in a. document the most damning evidence is here x. is uncovered a trove of hundreds of documents belonging to one of the fraudsters it exposes every aspect of the criminal operation evidence of transactions even. logs or whatever money comes even though the documents name the victims

investors from the netherlands south africa hong kong singapore papua new guinea new zealand and australia. but one stood out the most where he got scammed for a whole lot of them out almost 4 and also and so what is now we are. far from the bustle of manila the provincial center of rockhampton in the australian state of queensland. it's here i find wine brown a hard working coal mine electrician who should be enjoying financial rewards. right about home or going in that hole every die is hard work i don't see any family for 4 days at a 7. in early 25th wang started sending his hard earned cash to

what he believed was a new york based investment broker he thought he was buying shares. for a future. what i do at the bar i don't want to keep doing with. my dish or shells so there are others on. but if you get. in winds money pocketed the so-called broken went by the name of john bolton. didn't know it at the time but was not a license try to even his name was an alias in real life he was an american criminal living in manila. this is the frauds to talking recorded on wind brown's voicemail. by the way to charge us for the various here because i. just heard or told me to destroy the arts should i get outta here.

so that's john polson john polson bring up there's no on the old or thought i was wrong because. but our email it on us overwrought no reason to think it was a scam. the man who calls himself john polson is sticking to a script scammers like emus well proven psychological techniques to entrap the victims investigator can gamble has seen it all before they're required to get the investor on the hook so the very 1st calls that i'm like a design to get that potential investor to to make a small investment. there's the fear script to reassure nervous investors and one code you need to know who i am on going to make you very very rich you need to know who i am because on the man that's going to change your life and that of course you know are coming with someone who's very well spoken with an american accent that

sounds like he's calling it a wall straight and then you know the the average person is going to believe that. this when the john polson is stealing not only money but an identity there is a real john polson he's a successful multi billionaire investor and philanthropist from new york. but the imposter to those who know him is a thief and a thug he's a heavy drug use and. when you see him in you think. i better get out of discourse face or else because it's one of those intimidating guys who say one role something bad will happen to you. 2 over the next few months sitting at his computer in manila the fight john polson works on his victim whine brown the astrologist persuaded to buy more bogus shares to the value of $700000.00 us dollars his portfolio apiece to do well. their health is legit the gentleman.

that old knowledge of the share market any given you put forward to me was a good case in the case of why he. he was led to believe that these shares were valuable and that the day they went up in value and then that leads into another deal which is even more lucrative and so on and so on a lot of these guys have worked as brokers they have worked from major firms some of the biggest firms in the world and that come out of those firms and they've gone to the dark side. to bolster his image as a corporate heavyweight the pertains john polson makes up another company name with a grand tied to the lead seem global partners has its headquarters supposedly on wall street it's another lie concealed behind a fake website. so this is the police here website correct at least and global as

oh i thought it was a legitimate there's no reason for a way to do that they use this 9 because alyse m. is the same name with a number of other organizations as well so again when you google the 9 you actually come up with all these legitimate companies. then this scamming of australian wine brown steps up a notch after john polson hooks him into the scam and now the gang member takes over he's job to keep wine spending money polson was just the start of the the scam is that contacted me. john paul's disappeared probably 12 to 18 months after i 1st started talking to him and then again. you know according he came on the scene. there is now a new broker in the picture going by the alias of daniel johnson but he too is an american criminal living in manila not the us.

or not what. johnson calls constantly to pry more money from one brown. that will never be bought stop interest. shall we. and when i might be able to get there. so tell me about the smack down your joints . scrub off your boyd's whistle for he still probably a member of it also into us is there a certain arrogance about him you know does he think he's a big shot in the philippines. only a certain urgency he thinks who rules the philippines it's like a month or 2. well he's american he lives here with his wife and has children to her he's been in the philippines for years and he's probably one of the mine characters who. plied probably one of the logic pots in this for.

the crime syndicates victims from around the world who were instructed to make payments to bank accounts in hong kong. the money is sent to the philippines and within a very short period of time on the money is usually taken out in cash here in the philippines by. like a bank account holders who have control of the accounts on behalf of the fraud gangs the for the syndicates and the money is then loan it is ultimately into cash . by now wine brown believes his portfolio is valued at $5000000.00 and he wants to cash it in but there's a catch the scam is in manila tell him before he can sell he is he needs to pay us tax the tax money was granted i thought of thales and us both of us had a lot of high before you get to get this cash back from what. it once why i started to.
