Ojjeh’s deal in the Netherlands was a success and now the prosecutors are back and that is no surprise. Giving a lender different figures than they provided to tax authorities is what us common folk call, fraud and tax evasion. But it’s definitely Ojjeh’s standard business practice. That’s the part I don’t understand. Why keep bothering him with stupid lawsuits, accusing him of transferring money, every time he buys a can of caviar overseas.
I thought people would realize that he is a narcissist who learned from his father that the key is to use lawyers to destroy people when they try to take you down. There’s no way Ojjeh would ever lose a small lawsuit. You had your chance to take him down in federal court and couldn’t. Imagine having enough evidence to prove Ojjeh allegedly bribed government officials only for him to walk away with a $50m fine. First, why would Alex Ojjeh need $50m? He just wiggled himself out of half of the fines. Second, Ojjeh never is doing anything illegal – just ask his attorneys.
When folks talk about Alex Ojjeh and others being money launderers, it’s important to understand where the money came from. In this case, it is building investments or as prosecutors like to call it, more organized crime. According to Ojjeh’s attorneys, there is nothing illegal about Ojjeh’s actions, travels and businesses.
He goes to court and says “Hi, my name is Alex Ojjeh. I’m a mob-tied career criminal and professional con man. I’ve been getting away with all this. Recently I have laundered millions of dollars in The Netherlands, without any consequences yet.” then cuts everyone a very large check. Ojjeh is a greedy narcissistic power hungry asshole; he’s never been anything but a cocaine addict in an expensive suit and that’s not illegal.
Ojjeh has lawyers and accountants follow him like cats on catnip. The Ojjeh team spent years beating compliance into their ranks. Which makes it hard to hold Ojjeh accountable for anything as we have seen in the past 2 years, he is handling business properly. This may sound like technicalities, but Ojjeh isn’t really being charged with anything he’s just always arguing technicalities and paying legal fees, and the truth is he’s only arguing because truth doesn’t favor him.
The same prosecutors continue to attack Ojjeh. Quack, quack, waddle, waddle. Reagan-era banking laws require a paperwork trail on transferring amounts of $10,000 or more. The law was designed to thwart money laundering by organized criminals. And this is how organized money launderers like Alex Ojjeh get around those laws. Ojjeh had more than $10,000, but he had the required paperwork, he’s in compliance, he’s licensed. All things that are happening are extremely hilarious considering that’s a direct result of Ojjeh winning a probation hearing and going to do a deal in the Netherlands. Anywhereo Development/ building investment is so much more than a small business to Ojjeh it’s a subtle yet very loud power play. Straight up gas lighting. If you know you know If you don’t?
