Curacao depositors suspected of money laundering

Hello everyone,
i'm contacting you today due to a severe headache.
Lately I keep reading that people are receiving letters from the police because their bank has filed a complaint about money laundering or illegal gambling.

I am very afraid that such a letter will reach me in the next few months / years and thus destroy my family.

I earn very well and live well, but I also like to gamble from time to time and have deposited in curacao booths again and again in recent years. Often with an e-wallet but sometimes also directly by bank transfer.

Can you share your experiences if something like this has happened to you? How many months / years later did you receive a letter? And are there also people here for whom the proceedings were not discontinued as with some?

Thank you and LG

Hello!

Why are you so worried about what might happen?
I'd say that we don't have a clairvoyant here in the forum who can tell you exactly whether and what will happen in the future.
There have been a few cases here, that's true, you'll have to read through them here in the forum.
Don't get me wrong, I can understand your concern, but it's too late now anyway, there's nothing you can do except wait and see.
But even if something comes up, it won't be the end of the world, such proceedings are usually dropped and nobody has ever gone to jail for it.
So, do everything via e-wallets in future and don't worry for now.

I agree with Lionking, wait and see, if you drive yourself crazy now, it won't help. Don't worry about it and read the GJ news from January 11th. Your ideas about destroying your family and so on are totally exaggerated xD You'll never ever go to jail if you're safe. If it goes badly for you, then a fine.

you can be sure that even if proceedings are initiated, they will usually be discontinued for a fine in the 3-digit range.
So no entry in the Federal Central Register...

I have 2 bank accounts, my house bank, which does absolutely nothing in terms of gambling, and ING, to which I transfer X amount every month and gamble with it.

There have never been any problems. But I've never really gone into the red or anything else there.

I'm toying with the idea of simply canceling the account and hopefully closing the chapter. But the only question is whether I might then be "waking sleeping dogs"

What do you think, would it be stupid or smart for me to close the account?

I suspect ING will say to itself, it's gone anyway.

What do we care anymore.
In the end, it's just work.
I'm also with Ing, had a lot of depositors, but I haven't done that for a while now.

Hi Bruffl.

that was my thought too. If I quit then you've got rid of me anyway.

On the other hand, you could then take a look and possibly report me because you think that I might want to trip them up because you approved all the transactions "without a single grumble"?

What was it like for you with ING? Never had any problems either?

Hey,

the most important Tip is to stay relaxed and, above all, not to give any information to the police and instead look for a criminal defense lawyer. Believe me, this is money well spent. The lawyer will then request access to the files of the public prosecutor's office in order to get an idea of what the SA or police know, what evidence there is, etc., so that he/she can then plan an optimal defense strategy. He/she can also tell you quite precisely what the worst case scenario could be for you.

In most cases, the case will probably just be dropped at some point. If things go badly, as the previous posters have already said, you might be charged with a fine or something, but you'll never get a prison sentence.

So keep your head up and find a lawyer

LG

Hey guys,
i have now deleted / canceled my second account in the hope that the issue has now been resolved for me.

I can't imagine that something like this would happen afterwards with an account that I deleted.

What do you think?

Hi,

my question does not exactly fit the topic of money laundering (or maybe it does?), but I would like to ask it:
What should one think of receiving a payout from a casino (from Curacao) from a private person - in this case via the MoneySend function of MasterCard? I am Austrian and the private individual is not from Curacao, the UK or the like, but also from Austria. At first I couldn't even assign this incoming payment...

Isn't this highly dubious or should it be allowed at all or is there nothing wrong here?

I'm not really familiar with the tax office, money laundering methods etc., but I've never experienced anything like this before!

In addition, the casino demonstrably lied to me that I was supposedly limited in receiving payments and that they could therefore only transfer a fraction of the total amount, which, after consulting my bank, is absolute nonsense and a brazen lie!

What do you say?


VG & many thanks in advance!

That's the second most stupid thing I've ever read here.

The most dubious was some place where you sent money to someone, they then bought a psc of it and deposited it in their casino... Or something like that 😂

Sounds a lot like: I'm a private person, I'll quickly open an illegal casino without a license and see what happens

Seriously, how do you find a casino where you can have fun like this?

@gamble:

Found it again, remembered it a bit differently but similar... It was about PayPal deposits you sent to a private person who then deposited at the casino.
And psc that you could no longer use in Curacao. Then you should probably send the proof of purchase or pin as a photo and the credit was credited...
