Trolls Used Her Face to Make Fake Porn. There Was Nothing She Could Do.

Sabrina Javellana was a rising star in local politics — until deepfakes derailed her life.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/31/magazine/sabrina-javellana-florida-politics-ai-porn.html

Most mornings, before walking into City Hall in Hallandale Beach, Fla., a small city north of Miami, Sabrina Javellana would sit in the parking lot and monitor her Twitter and Instagram accounts. After winning a seat on the Hallandale Beach city commission in 2018, at age 21, she became one of the youngest elected officials in Florida’s history. Her progressive political positions had sometimes earned her enemies: After proposing a name change for a state thoroughfare called Dixie Highway in late 2019, she regularly received vitriolic and violent threats on social media; her condemnation of police brutality and calls for criminal-justice reform prompted aggressive rhetoric from members of local law enforcement. Disturbing messages were nothing new to her.

The morning of Feb. 5, 2021, though, she noticed an unusual one. “Hi, just wanted to let you know that somebody is sharing pictures of you online and discussing you in quite a grotesque manner,” it began. “He claims that he’s one of your ‘guy friends.’”

Javellana froze. Who could have sent this message? She asked for evidence, and the sender responded with pixelated screenshots of a forum thread that included photos of her. There were comments that mentioned her political career. Had her work drawn these people’s ire? Eventually, with a friend’s help, she found a set of archived pages from the notorious forum site 4chan. Most of the images were pulled from her social media and annotated with obscene, misogynistic remarks: “not thicc enough”; “I would breed her”; “no sane person would date such a stupid creature.” But one image further down the thread stopped her short. She was standing in front of a full-length mirror with her head tilted to the side, smiling playfully. She had posted an almost identical selfie, in which she wore a brown crew-neck top and matching skirt, to her Instagram account back in 2015. “It was the exact same picture,” Javellana said of the doctored image. “But I wasn’t wearing any clothes.”

There were several more. These were deepfakes: A.I.-generated images that manipulate a person’s likeness, fusing it with others to create a false picture or video, sometimes pornographic, in a way that looks authentic. Although fake explicit material has existed for decades thanks to image-editing software, deepfakes stand out for their striking believability. Even Javellana was shaken by their apparent authenticity.

“I didn’t know that this was something that happened to everyday people,” Javellana told me when I visited her earlier this year in Florida. She wondered if anyone else had seen the photos or the abusive comments online. Several of the threads even implied that people on the forum knew her. “I live in Broward County,” one comment read. “She just graduated from FIU.” Other users threatened sexual violence. In the days that followed, Javellana became increasingly fearful and paranoid. She stopped walking alone at night and started triple-checking that her doors and windows were locked before she slept. In an effort to protect her personal life, she made her Instagram private and removed photographs of herself in a bathing suit.

Discovering the images changed how Javellana operated professionally. Attending press events was part of her job, but now she felt anxious every time someone lifted their camera. She worried that public images of her would be turned into pornography, so she covered as much of her body as she could, favoring high-cut blouses and blazers. She knew she wasn’t acting rationally — people could create new deepfakes regardless of how much skin she showed in the real world — but changing her style made her feel a sense of control. If the deepfakes went viral, no one could look at how she dressed and think that she had invited this harassment.

IMPORTANT A/N AT THE END.

TUMBLR IS BASED ON A REBLOG SYSTEM. PLEASE REBLOG MY WORK. THANK YOU. ENJOY. SMUT BELOW THE CUT.

“I know you are awake! Open the door! It's good news!” Your best-friend, and roommate kept calling your name through the door, yesterday wasn't a great night. You failed at the mission to be part of some runaways, because 'you don't fit the concept' so what else you could expect? How could you achieve your modeling career?

You opened the door, and your best-friend sprinted towards you, pushing you so you could lay again on bed. “You’ve some job to do tonight.” She told you, grabbing her phone from her pocket, “Oh my god, it's not my time to do the laundry this week- you know-“

“You´re going to a runaway! I got you the job!”

“what??“

And she was right. You got the job! But this didn't seem like a normal runaway at all. You were waiting for the make-up artist to arrive while everyone had already changed into some 'weird' clothes, mostly black and silver, which, you suppose that's the theme... but... some of them, had quite different accessories.

Handcuffs... nipple clamps, harness.... were those pet collars?... gags...

“Oh! You're the newbie! A friend of mine talked me about you.” A man got closer to you, he called your name and you simple nodded. ¨Great! Here, take your clothes, this are some puffy handcuffs, well, because you're new, and we don’t want to hurt those pretty wrists. You can ask someone else to help you put them on, then… we have a black basic satin dress, pretty cute! I know, and a satin matching blindfold. So now go! Fiu! Show me what you got butterfly!¨

W....what? Everything happened in a flash, everything is happening in a flash. He pushed you into what you suppose it's a changing room...

You changed into your new clothes... no shoes... they were doing your makeup, nothing too much, you could see it was pretty natural. ¨Oh dear, you're the new one right? Want me to help you with those?¨ The makeup artist signaled at the shiny silver handcuff, with some puffy black bom-boms, you shyly nodded.

Without you telling them, they also got the blindfold on your head, how were you supposed to see? Man, I don't even know, and they were already telling you to do a line.

They were about 2 people in front of you, seeing by the small space between your blindfold and nose, only seeing the floor and feet. You felt someone slightly pushing you to start walking.

You were praying to god to not let you fall this time, one two three, one two three, was all in your head, toe heel, toe heel, you're doing it great!

Not realizing some blur orbs followed you along.

You thought this was over? Well, too bad for you, because now it's exhibition time so buyers can see what they are buying to play with! Isn't this amazing?

You couldn't see anything, trying your best to stay still, but you swear some woman was examining even the pores of your face. “I've never seen you here? Are you new here?”

She got closer to you, feeling her breathing on your face, she grabbed your hair, twirling it around her finger. “Aren't you cute?” She pulled her finger with your hair, a small whine leaving you. “Get on your knees.”

Her voice sounded demanding, it's like something controlled you. You got one knee down first and then the other. She left an astonished laugh, like she couldn't believe what she saw... not like you can.

“You don't even know nothing about BDSM! What are you doing here?”

You could hear her saying some bad remarks of your posture and how you 'aren't well trained' hearing some giggles at the distant.

She mildly slapped you, causing you to finally break-down, some tears spilling out of your eyes, thanks to the embarrassment, you were scared, mostly because you don't know what you got into.

When you felt you were about to get another hit, another voice came into space.

“Why don't you respect the models who are offering you the little toys you will use for your couple? Or are you jealous they look better on her than in you?” Her hand was tightly trapped by the other persons hand. “You better leave, because security already knows what you did, and they'll get you.”

You heard a huff from the lady, you flinched at the feeling of someone else untying your blindfold to be met with some beautiful blue crystal eyes, some white hair, and a black suit. He might be the handsomest man you ever seemed in your life. He caressed your cheek, tilting your head to the side, searching for any bruises. Then he smiled with no teeth. “Get up darling, it's okay.”

You haven't realized the big height difference between you two until you were completely up.

“Thank you...?”

“Satoru darling, call me Satoru.”

“I can’t fucking believe you!” Your best friend laughed when you told her about what happened, if she’s isn’t a bitch….

“I don’t know how you can laugh at what YOU did.”

“If i’m being honest with you, I knew it was a bdsm runaway, been into that shit for some years now, but I didn’t know the GOJO SATORU was going to be there and save your ass! You don’t know how lucky you are”

“What are you talking about? They humiliated me there! At least they had to pay me as good as they did, and thankfully they also gave me a bonus for the ‘misunderstanding’ And I couldn’t care less about Gojo Satoru, I don’t even know who he is.”

Your friend gave you the same bitchy face as the old lady from the exhibition… asshole. “What do you mean you don’t know Gojo Satoru? He’s like one of the best fashionista’s not only in the BDSM style but, in Europe he’s an icon!”

“So…?” You asked, looking for your phone somewhere in the sheets of your bed.

“So? He’s like your big chance for your modeling career! The next Bella Hadid!” She made a gesture with her hands like a rainbow, while making a serious face trying to imitate a model.

When you found your phone, the first thing you saw in your lock screen was a new text-message from an unknown number, which you showed to your friend and signaled her to open it.

“No fucking way.” Your best friend took your phone out of your hands, she couldn’t believe it.

And no fucking way, indeed. The Gojo Satoru was offering you to work for him, not only as model but as… his sub?

What?…

As you entered his house, because, obviously your friend ‘wouldn’t let you loose a chance like this’, she taught you a little bit of what’s BDSM and how it’s executed beforehand. Something new for you, but you couldn’t criticize people for their sexual preferences when you haven’t even tried it yet.

You sat at an incredible large table on Satoru’s house, (more like a mansion for you), waiting for him. His, what you suppose, assistant, told you to wait there and brought you a glass of water. As you were looking around, Satoru sat next to you.

“It’s a pretty house, isn’t it?” You looked at his beautiful blue eyes, loosing yourself in them, even though you could barely see them with those black round little glasses he was using.

Both of your introduced to the other, more formally, pulling a small chat between the both of you to know each other. Where you work, how old are you, likes and dislikes, you learned he used to be a modeling teacher before he started his formal career as a fashionista, he was also a model, he achieved a lot of things even when he’s really young. He’s really charismatic and funny, made you feel like you known him for your whole life.

But then… He suddenly pulled a folder from down the table and put in front of you.

“You can found the contract for your modeling career, we give you a paycheck every month about 30k, depends on what you do, obviously, if you accept being my sub, that’s the price, if you want to only be a model it would be reduced to 15k. You can also found a paper where you’ll give your consent to what kinks, toys, you would like to use. Depending of how you adapt you can quit or add one. But for now, it’s for the first 3 months, then you could change it.”

…

….

What the fuck. Everything was going great, what happened to hello? How are you? this changed really, really quickly.

Satoru laughed at your innocence, you couldn’t believe what was happening that you didn’t even realized you said it out loud.

“Of course, you don’t have to sign the sub contract now, we can try some more vainilla things, or just model.”

“Vainilla?” You tilted your face, looking at him, you couldn’t deny it, he’s a nice, very nice, looking guy, broad shoulders, long and strong legs, same as the arms, tall, and a pretty smile. You felt really flustered when he defended you from that lady the other day.

“Yeah, vainilla, normal sex, just fuck you and that. Or…are you a virgin?” You felt the blood rushing to your face, how could he talk about this things so normally?

“I had sex… one-two times….” You said, in a shy voice which was barely loud enough to hear.

He chuckled, his hand sliding to grab yours. “Wanna have a third time?”

“Huh?” Did you heard that right? Is he asking you to have sex?

“Do you want me to fuck you so you can see if you feel comfortable?” This time he said it slower, trying to see if your confused face would change into something else so he can know if you understood him.

“H-here?…”

“If you want to fuck here, then I guess that’s okay! Tables can be quite useful” He stood up from his seat, unbuttoning his jacket.

“Wait, wait wait! No!” He took off his jacket, and he laughed. “I’m not undressing myself sweetheart, I can tell how you’re feeling about all this, is something new to you, I understand it.”

“Uh…” You really wanted to try this, it’s something new, and it sparked some curiosity in you.

“We can try kissing?”

“Kissing?” He seemed confused, he thought he would need you known you for some time more, so you could get familiar with him, but as it seemed, you were interested in this new world of BDSM.

“If you’re comfortable about that, it’s good for me, maybe later I can take you for a coffee or tea, depending what you like.” He gave you a small smile with a wink, sitting again.

Without giving a second thought, you stood up from your seat, taking shy steps until you were in front of him. Something about him felt so familiar, you couldn’t understand what made you feel comfortable in his presence, it’s like this was something you’ve done plenty of time. You slowly sat on his lap, grabbing your arms around his neck, his hand sliding around your waist. And like that, you gave him a small peck on his lips. His face was the same as you, shocked, he wouldn’t think you would have the courage to this.

You could see a small shade of pink on his cheeks and ears, making you giggle and give him another peck. This was fun. His hand grabbed your waist in a more possessive way, it’s like it was meant to be there.

His other hand, grabbed you by the back of your head and pulled you into a kiss.

You didn’t meant to rush it, but his lips on yours felt so good that your body started unconsciously moving back and forth, you heard a small groan coming out of him and the hand that was on your head slid down to grab you by the waist too, helping you straddle him.

A small whine left your mouth when the button of his jeans touched your clothed pussy, this feeling was so hard to explain, it just felt so right.

His lips felt just as soft and heavenly as your imagination had remembered, sweet and addicting just like him.

With a sigh, you slipped your hand into his hair, tugging a bit at the soft tendrils at the back of his head.

You nearly shivered at the grunt he let out in response to the action, bucking his hips up to meet yours making you let out a hum of approval into his mouth.

Rolling your hips down onto him in response, your breath caught in your throat as he gripped your hips to guide your movements into his bulge, thrusting up off the bed to meet you as you both let out noises of satisfaction into each other’s mouths.

“How slow do you want to take this?” He asked, almost sounding pained as he panted up at you. The look in his eyes wasn’t one you were familiar with on him; wild and nearly starved.

“I… I’ve just never…”

“It’s okay darling, i’ll help you through it.”

He gets you to lay down on the table, not completely, but comfortable enough. Satoru licks and pecks every part of your body. With your arms wrapped around his neck. He kisses you slowly from your forehead, nose, lips, shoulders, collarbone , and breasts . He stopped for a while, just about your nipple. He glances up at you for a minute , he can see you were showing your vulnerable and desperate body. It wasn’t your intention, but your position and expression showed it all.

A small smirk forms on his lips before he gets under your shirt and starts to slowly suck and lick on your nipple, from time to time. The sensation makes you whimper, but he was going painfully slow with everything. You want him inside of you already and to fuck you hard.

One of his hands slid through your body until your jeans. Unbuttoning them, he inserted his hand through your panties, his fingertips brushed through your folds, coating them in your juices and you whined when you felt him rub slowly at your clit. “how long have you been like this.” his voice was so calm, a contrast to how shaky your breath was.

“When I… I started kissing you.” You gasped and he started applying more pressure to your clit.

“Poor baby.” he cooed at you. “You must be so needy.” his fingers teased at your entrance and you bucked your hips towards his hand, causing him to chuckle.

He eased one of his fingers inside you and a soft moan left your lips, your hips moving to ride his finger, his eyes intensely staring at you. “more.” you whined quietly.

“More?” he smirked and inserted another finger, feeling how your walls clenched around his digits, his hand moving to match the movements of your hips, thrusting his finger in and out of your pussy and you could ear the wet sounds it did.

Your whimpers and moans started getting louder, your nails digging into the skin of his shoulder over the fabric of his white shirt and he groaned at the feeling, letting his head fall back into your neck, staring at you with hooded eyes as you fucked yourself on his fingers. not only his fingers felt amazing but he also looked so good in front of you and just looking at him fingering you could send you over the edge. His thumb came up to rub at your clit and your teeth sinked into your bottom lip, the feeling becoming too intense.

His fingers thrusted inside of you faster and deeper, your juices running down his hand as his thumb applied even more pressure on your clit and you were so overwhelmed that you couldn’t even kiss him properly anymore, too focused on how good his fingers felt inside you.

“Cum on my fingers, baby.” He broke the kiss for a short second, encouraging you, and then went back to devouring your mouth. your fingers intertwined with the locks of his hair, pulling slightly at it causing him to groan and the feeling became too much to hold it in anymore, he suddenly stopped. A familiar ring coming through your phone. He chuckled at your face. Dry tears covered your face, hickeys all around your neck, and you were slowly moving your hips to gain the friction back.

You left a small whine at the loss of his fingers inside of you, he inserted them on his mouth, moaning at the taste. He then grabbed your phone and gave it to you.

“That’s only a preview of what you could get if you accept my offer” And with that, he just winked and left.

A/N: This was really rushed tbh, i thought of turning this into a series, but recently i've been feeling pretty bad with my english, mostly because i think i'm not good enough at writing, or expressing the story the way i would've wanted to be. I have plently of cool ideas, but i can't do them since i feel like they won't be good enough. And that's how i've been feeling about my writings recently, i think they're REALLY bad. So i might take a break, idk, maybe keep trying, or just quit. I'm still thinking about it. So i hope you enjoyed this one :)

Bad Music Bracket Round 2

Starting after this round, we will be doing two rounds at the same time just so the bracket can move quicker, and it will be like this in the future, except for once we reach the top 4.

This week's match up is Happy Ending by Hopsin vs Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu by Tito Silva. Oh god this match up.

Panel opinions below the cut.

Sol's Choice - Happy Ending

Happy Ending is so much worse. Hopsin has the horrible fate of being influenced by Eminem, and being the corny run off that entails. The blatant Asian racism is so much, and it comes from someone who is an insufferable bastard. As weird as Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu is, it being in another language and not knowing the political context salvages it for me. Meanwhile, Hopsin raps about getting two kinds of "jobs" while fetishizing Asian women.

Joe's Choice - Happy Ending

Mi Benito Fiu Fiu is a cheesy romance song with cheesy Spanish lyrics and fun but simple production that fits right in with a song you’d hear on the radio or in a mall, and its melody structure blatantly being a repurposing of the song “Thank You” by Dido isn’t helping it stand out. The worst that can be said of that song is that it is corny and unexciting, which is high praise compared to what can be said of “Happy Ending”. The music is not that interesting aside from the constant switching to an awkward sounding modified voice to represent the women speaking in the song, but the lyrics are truly awful. They are crude and juvenile, but worse is that every line is a gleeful description of a sexual encounter with language that is wildly misogynistic and racist, delivered with no shame or reservation. The entire song feels like hearing the unhinged rambling or tasteless remarks of the family member you are ashamed to be related to at a family reunion, set to a bargain bin beat. 

Adam's Choice - Happy Ending

Happy Ending is a concept so bad for a song that I don’t ever want to listen to it, so it wins by default.

Mă simt frustrată că după 6 ani de facultate salariu standard pe care mi-l poate oferi țara asta e 3200 de lei. După 6 ani. Toată lumea se așteaptă de la arhitecții să facă cine știe câți bani. Vară-mea coodronează la saloane de nunți și ia 5000 de lei. Am o cunoștință care face 2k € pe zi dintr-un server de metin. Care a mai fost sensul unui parcurs academic, sincer? Am primit oferte de job în Austria unde salariul începe de la 4k €. URĂSC atât de mult faptul că iau în considerare ideea de a pleca. Urăsc gândul că singura modalitate de a mă simți împlinită profesional și satisfăcută din punct de vedere material este asta. Mă frustrează că voi face parte și eu din ,acel procentaj din diaspora. (respectfully tho). Dar serios, care dracu mai e sensul? Mă simt inutilă deși se presupune că am urmat "toți pașii spre succes" pe care ni i-au băgat pe gât încă de mici. Știu că mă voi integra și îmi voi face prieteni, dar știu că după un timp nu o să mai am un sens de apartenență. Nu o să mai consider aici acasă, cum nici acolo nu o să fie niciodată acasă. O să fiu pustiită-n suflet cu prețul banilor și urăsc să simt asta anticipat. Vreau o calitate a vieții mai ridicată, fără să plec din țară ca zeci de alți români. is it too much to ask?

[jerrymessing]

hello jerry!! i'm glad to see you've joined tumblr! i hope everyone is treating you kindly. would you plan to make a post telling us more about your side of the story in regards to the memes people made about you, how they affected your life, etc etc? if not thats totally cool! i'm just a very curious person

I plan to do that after I do my AMA if needed. There's still a bit of misinformation about me on it (which I wish was true), such as it being said I was able to attend FIU for Psychology. The unfortunate truth is, not being able to find a scholarship program, and being unwilling to take student loans, I had to find a job instead. I had plans to work through college, but that didn't pan out, and I had a severe breakdown.

Haven't written in a minute (I wonder how many more times I'm going to open with a line like that?) but here we gooo

Got back from my many winter break travels; had a real messy trip to NYC but it was still fun and my first time in Brooklyn AND I met some really cool people while I was there! We live and learn :D

Started the semester off really well, really loving my classes and almost all my professors so I'm thinking this one will go better than the last!

Internship is proceeding alright, got confirmed to be selected again for the summer so I will be moving back to D.C. again when June comes around, maybe earlier depending on some other factors to be dated :)

Started playing volleyball again at FIU and I've met some really cool people!

Started taking CAPOEIRA CLASSES and they're SO much fun! The group is really awesome too and I'm looking forward to being somewhat flexible again.

Been going up to West Palm every weekend, which is nice!

Starting to date around again, which is also nice! Have met some really nice guys, finally met up with some guys that I've known for years, and all in all just enjoying company :D

Have done some computer reorganizing, going to start working on some projects I've been meaning to get to for a while. Downloading albums, getting some new programs, organizing files, all that fun stuff

Started off well on my music curation, kinda slacking now, but planning to get into that again too! There's another tech project I want to go along with that :)

Haven't been playing piano, and honestly I think that that's going to be on the back burner for a while, unfortunately. But I still manage to get in some notes every now and again!

Starting to get into tarot?? And I think I'm learning more about astrology? Good stuff!

Started amassing my library, both digital and physical :) Eventually when I graduate and move out every book I have digitally, I will own a physical copy! But maybe that's wasteful so IDK

There's probably more, but for now this works!

I'm going to start keeping this journal, as well as a physical one with little highlights from the day. Just small interactions or moments or memories that made me smile, maybe some doodles to go with that.

All my responsibilities are starting to pile up, and it's hard to juggle maintaining relationships, work, school, and my personal life, but I've been doing a decent job of it! And I'm feeling super motivated these days! I'm excited to keep going even if I'm going to be swamped. I feel really good these days :)

OK That's it! Bed time gn <3

Normal!Domini and Normal!Emery

More under the cut ^_^

Normal AU for the Mindscapeverse!!

They are not normal. My characters are set in an unethical experimental clinic called Citrus originally. Naturally they’re all very traumatized and ill. Domini is kind of a self insert because I do what I want!! Ummm. In the normal au, citrus is essentially what the real citrus in our world is like (citrus is actually the clinic I go to for my meds in real life) and the volunteers get therapy and meds like. Normally. And the therapists and everyone are treated properly and are medicated if needed and everything. I’ve also just changed some things in general. Emery has a PhD and did not take Simon’s last name!

Dominica Flores (Domini)

• 21, she/he, ENFJ 2w1 271

• in OCD recovery with Dr. Niang

• Philosophy + Religion major at FIU (this is set in Miami because where else would it happen)

• Sylvia’s gf

• Cares to maintain herself!! Instead of neglecting herself for self loathing and fatigue reasons, he regularly gets his nails and hair done. And showers everyday. She also dresses better. It’s a way she’s learned to cope with feeling unworthy, but it’s not like he’s obsessive about it or anything.

• Instead of being delusional about his Catholicism, he’s developed a healthy relationship with his religion. Domini’s OCD is scrupulosity, a mix between moral and religious. As she’s recovering, she’s learning how to stop attaching his worth to his moral and religious ideals.

Emery Niang (Dr. Niang)

• 43, They, ISTJ 1w2 162

• Clinical Psychologist

• Seroquel taker and stable (bipolar I + ocd haver)

• Stern but caring + has a work/life balance

• Married to Dr. Shinohara happily

• Neater hair, newer and nicer clothes. Emery and Simon have decent salaries, but in their works they live pretty frugally (Emery out of guilt for believing they’re not deserving of the luxury they can afford because they don’t believe they’re doing their job well enough, and Simon because he lacked financial security in childhood). In this au, they don’t struggle with this and actually treat themself to luxurious and sustainably made clothing.

• Because they’re not as insane about their clients, they haven’t been nearly as distressed, so they haven’t aged as rapidly. They still have visible age markers obviously (aging is a beautiful thing) but they’re not greying nor do they have really really heavy eyebags.

• I should mention. Emery’s also Catholic. I ❤️ Catholicism

Igor Torsin: Allegations of Fraud Exposed

Igor Torsin has received allegations of being involved in criminal activities. Find out of those allegations are true or not in this review.

Having nine financial institutions under regulation under your direction? Really? Indeed! It is well known that nominate directors are used by cybercrime organizations and their schemes. They are required to obtain permits and bank accounts, and occasionally they want to hide behind them. It appears that Igor Torsin, who is listed in our records as a director of nine Estonian cryptocurrency companies, falls under the latter category. All nine are cryptocurrency payment processors with FIU licences; some even assist and participate in schemes.

As expected, the following legal address unites all of the licensed cryptocurrency payment processors on the above list: Harju maakond, Tallinn, Lasnamäe linnaosa, Väike-Paala tn 2, 11415. Other FIU-licensed businesses like Lipan Services OÜ d/b/a BitTheBank and Vulture OÜ d/b/a Cratos, which we identified as facilitators of scams, also use the same address.

It is probably reasonable to presume that Igor Torsin has beneficial owners who are not Estonians. The identity of these individuals ought to be of interest to the Estonian FIU. The fact that one individual simultaneously serves as a director of nine regulated financial services companies should likewise be of interest to the FIU. That shouldn’t have been feasible to begin with.

STORIES FROM THE CRYPTO: HOW MONEY LAUNDERING TOOK THE BALTIC STATES AS ITS HUB

Over a billion euros have been laundered or stolen from victims in Estonia as a result of financial crime, thanks to the country’s inadequate regulation of cryptocurrencies. The same actors are now moving to new nations and making the same mistakes over and over again.

In the past five years, Estonia has emerged as a major hub for cryptocurrency businesses; by the middle of 2021, about half of all global virtual currency service providers had their registrations in Estonia.

These businesses, many of which have non-resident owners and clientele, have been able to market themselves as EU-licensed financial services thanks to Estonia’s lax crypto licensing regulations.

After analysing over 300 cryptocurrency businesses, VSquare and associates found scores of instances of severe fraud, money laundering, evading sanctions, and financing criminal enterprises and paramilitary groups covertly.

VSquare and partners discovered numerous instances in which the managers and anti-money laundering (AML) officers of cryptocurrency firms were blatantly unfit for their jobs, ill-prepared for the work, and facing severe financial difficulties: dozens of crypto firms were run by taxi drivers, welders, and social welfare recipients.

Many of the enterprises left Estonia for other European nations, including Lithuania, when the government started to tighten regulations and revoke licences. This demonstrates how changing the system in one nation doesn’t actually affect anything.

“Usually I was just a shell; I didn’t work with the transactions. I didn’t know what kind of millions went through there,” says Sergei Bezrodny, an unemployed plumber from the Estonian town of Tartu. His public LinkedIn profile claims he has almost 20 years of experience in finance and banking, but Bezrodny is surprised to learn about it and says it is a “mistake”.

Nevertheless, Bezrodny has held directorships in 24 global bitcoin companies in the past.

Really, I don’t want to discuss it. I had enough issues with that back then, and it was a long time ago,” he recalls.

His career in Estonian finance was cut short when banks began to cancel his accounts due to concerns about money laundering, and he currently declares himself jobless.

“I had to establish all of my accounts in Lithuania,” the jobless plumber says.

“I just sit at home now.”

Massive sums of money laundering across the European Union have resulted from the “virtual assets” licence system that was implemented in 2017 and that the Estonian state marketed to the world as groundbreaking and inventive. However, the system quickly spread like wildfire, with shady businesses operating in the jurisdiction.

International con artists exploited the phrase “licensed in the EU” as a marketing tool, using the jurisdiction to instil confidence in their illicit ventures. As a result, 1644 bitcoin businesses with licences have been operating in Estonia for the past six years, or one for every 800 citizens.

Just three Estonian business creation agencies are connected to 40% of those.Two of them gave the businesses “AML (anti-money laundering) compliance officers.” VSquare and its affiliates, including Delfi (Estonia), Siena (Lithuania), Fronstory.pl (Poland), Paper Trail Media, Der Spiegel, ZDF (Germany), and Der Standard (Austria), have demonstrated that a large number of the “specialists” employed by these cryptocurrency companies were insolvent individuals looking for a quick pay period rather than having any experience with money laundering compliance.

We found that a welder barred from conducting business, a homeless individual, a taxi driver in severe debt, and an unemployed plumber were all connected to over 60 cryptocurrency companies as official directors or AML officers.

Even though more than 1500 cryptocurrency businesses have had their licences revoked since Estonia began to amend its outdated laws, this hasn’t meant that the owners have ceased operations. Numerous them relocated to other European countries, such as Lithuania, which is currently home to more than 800 virtual asset businesses.

The majority of Estonia’s crypto businesses are owned by Russians and Ukrainians.

The number next to each nation denotes the national owners and board members connected to Estonian-founded cryptocurrency businesses.

Estonia then started a significant reform to purge the system. As of this writing, just 78 approved cryptocurrency companies remain out of 1644, as the majority of the companies refused to comply with the new laws or were unable to do so.

Matis Mäeker, the head of the Estonian Federal Investigation Agency, affirms that the US sanctions rulings demonstrate how these corporations assisted in funding North Korean nuclear programs as well as Russian mercenary groups.

However, there is nothing that connects them to Estonia; all that exists is that the service providers set up their address, gave some arbitrary nominal directors and AML contact [people] that they found on the street who have no idea what they are talking about. According to Mäeker, they have no idea which companies they are directors of.

“We have no control over them while they are laundering money. They’re not even present in the sense of crime or monitoring. They only exist on paper.

Money Laundering: What Is It?

The illicit practice of disguising substantial sums of money obtained through criminal activity—such as the support of terrorism or drug trafficking—as coming from a lawful source is known as money laundering. Since the proceeds of illicit activities are seen as dirty money, they are “laundered” to appear clean.

Both street-level and white-collar criminals use money laundering, a major financial crime.

Anti-money-laundering (AML) rules are in place at the majority of financial institutions today to identify and stop this kind of conduct.

The unlawful practice of disguising “dirty” money as lawful rather than obtained through deception is known as money laundering.

A plethora of money-laundering tactics are employed by criminals to present monies earned unlawfully as clean.

Cryptocurrencies and online banking have made it simpler for criminals to send and receive money covertly.

Targeting the financing of terrorism is currently part of the global effort to combat money laundering.

Additionally, the financial sector has stringent anti-money laundering (AML) policies in effect.

Why Is Fighting Money Laundering Important?

The goal of anti-money laundering (AML) is to strip criminals of the proceeds from their illicit ventures, thus taking away their primary incentive to do such heinous acts. Millions of individuals worldwide are put in danger by dangerous and illegal activities like drug trafficking, people smuggling, financing terrorism, smuggling, extortion, and fraud. These activities also have a significant negative social and economic impact on society. Since money laundering legitimises the proceeds of these kinds of actions, fighting money laundering may significantly help society by lowering criminal behaviour.

Igor Torsin: Conclusion

Convertible virtual currencies (CVCs) are another name for cryptocurrencies, and the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) reported in a June 2021 report that they had become the preferred form of payment for a variety of unlawful online activities.

In addition to becoming the primary method of payment for purchasing drugs, online exploitative content, ransomware tools and services, and other illicit commodities, CVCs are being used more frequently to conceal the source of money obtained through unlawful behaviour and to layer transactions. Money-laundering strategies utilising cryptocurrencies are employed by criminals, such as the use of “mixers” and “tumblers,” which disrupt the link between an address (or cryptocurrency “wallet”) sending cryptocurrency and the address receiving it.

Targeted Age Group: 25+ Written by: Arun Jagtiani Buy the ebook: Buy the Book On Amazon Author Bio: Arun Jagtiani is the son of Indian immigrants who move to the Dutch Caribbean island of St. Maarten in the early 1970’s. Together with his older brother Dino, they were sent to New Jersey to live with family in the late 1980’s where they attended West Windsor Plainsboro High School. As a teen he became rebellious and by the age of 16 he had worn out his welcome in New Jersey. Instead of being sent back to St. Maarten, he was invited to live with other family members in London, England where he attended Southgate College. After graduating with a B-TEC National Diploma in Hospitality, he returned home to St. Maarten and worked various jobs for a few years. At the age of 21 he moved to Miami where he attended Florida International University (FIU). During his sophomore year in college he dropped out of school because his girlfriend at the time got pregnant. Unable to work in the US as an international student, he was forced to move back to St. Maarten so he could earn an income and provide for his new family. In St. Maarten he started selling timeshare and after a year, he was able to save up enough money to go back to FIU and still financially provide for his daughter. In 2002 he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and then returned home to St. Maarten where he started his career in Real Estate sales.
