Fraud being committed in the UK goes unpunished

Shyam

Agents of the UK Serious Fraud Office are fully-aware that 'Amway UK Ltd.' has been just one counterfeit 'Direct Selling' company comprising a vast international labyrinth of corporate structures (pursuing lawful, and/or unlawful, enterprises) created, and controlled, by US-based billionaire racketeers in order to perpetrate, and shield, a closed-market swindle, or money circulation scheme, and allied advance fee frauds. Furthermore, agents of the UK SFO are fully- aware that these grinning American charlatans have corrupted the US administration in order to obstruct justice and that they have stolen at least one billion tax-free dollars from UK citizens during the previous 35 years. Yet, the UK SFO has so far refused to pursue any criminal enquiry into what lurks behind 'Amway UK Ltd,' whilst the former Deputy Director of the UK SFO, Peter Kiernan, was actually part of the highly-paid legal defence team which recently succeeded in preventing 'Amway UK Ltd.' from being closed under UK bankruptcy laws.

The UK Serious Fraud Office http://www.sfo.gov.uk/ is a British law enforcement agency with a current annual budget (paid by UK tax payers) of £44.6 millions http://www.sfo.gov.uk/our-work/our-performance.aspx. The Director of the UK SFO is accountable to the UK Attorney General http://www.sfo.gov.uk/about-us/who-we-are.aspx . The UK SFO has more than 300 staff. However, the combined efforts of all these upstanding civil servants only managed to recover a total of less than £21 millions last year, of which a derisory £4 millions was actually returned to the victims of fraud in the UK. To put these embarrassing UK SFO performance figures into perspective: in January of 2010, the UK Attorney General's office published an estimate revealing that the true extent of fraud in the UK is currently £30 billions annually http://www.attorneygeneral.gov.uk/NewsCentre/Pages/NationalFraudAuthority.aspx . The overwhelming majority of fraud (by value) being committed in the UK is known to be foreign-based, highly-organized and, therefore, outside of the juristiction of all UK law enforcement agencies other than the UK SFO.

In plain language, at the present time, the UK government accepts more than 99.9% (by value) of fraud being committed in the UK goes completely unpunished.
