Secure Platform Funding office has seen a shift within the marketplace of white collar fraud schemes from investment fraud toward loan funding schemes.
2. As I have previously mentioned in various
articles, our office has seen a shift within the
marketplace of white collar fraud schemes
from investment fraud toward loan funding
schemes.
For those of you who investigate financial
crimes, and/or provide due diligence related
services, these schemes are remarkably
easy to identify.
Unfortunately, the victims of these

4. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with
loan funding schemes, they are a fraudulent
undertaking whereby a promoter falsely
promises to provide, or arrange for third parties
to provide, private loan funding for the victim.
In my experience, these schemes could be
categorized as two basic variants - the advance
fee scheme, and the escrow based scheme.
This particular case study relates to the
advance fee variant as promoted by Bruce
5. To visualize the comparative difference between
the advance fee version of this fraud scheme
and the escrow based variety, please see the
articles I have published regarding the escrow
based schemes promoted by John B. Ramsey,
as President of Astra, HERE and by Ruth
Liverpool, HERE.
The advance fee variant of the loan funding
scheme is typically pretty simple, and the much
more straightforward of the two; victim losses
tend to be much less.

7. In this case, Bruce Green claimed to
represent the Bank of Bahrain, and
further claimed to be involved with
other iconic financial institutions, in
defrauding my Client of $50,000 in
connection with a promised ten million
dollar loan and bank instruments.
In an effort to establish himself in the
mind of this victim as a major player in
the world of international finance,
Bruce Green produced various
8. In reading through some of these
documents, appended for your review
in the Relevant Documents section that
follows below, it is easy to imagine that
they might serve to enhance the
credibility of the individual that
produced them.
For example, this transmittal document
$700M Global Bond Transfer dated
October 21, 2010, references a seven
hundred million dollar ($700,000,000)

10. Coupled with this document, Innoventure DBA
TecPro Bank, that purports to connect Innoventure
to TecPro Bank, they provide an image of
credibility.
Other “Dazzle and Dupe” documents as produced
to the victim are appended for your review in the
Relevant Documents section that follows below.
On September 3, 2010, Bruce Green persuaded
the victim to initiate a $50,000 Escrow Deposit with
an International Attorney who is a Graduate of Yale
University, has been practicing law since 1966, is
currently registered with the Supreme Court Bar,
has served as a Lawyer in London England and

13. Again, if you are investigation this
individual, I have his complete
background check, and other
information.
Two of the exhibited documents below
should be of particular interest to those
of you who may not have had a lot of
experience with con artist
communications.
14. Please see the compilation of text
messages, and compilation of emails,
appended for your review in the Relevant
Documents section that follows below.
In wading through the various
communications and exhibits, you will note
that Bruce Green claims to have a
connection with the Bank of Bahrain, and
alludes to his involvement with various
other icons of the financial world such as
Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Banco do

16. Once upon a time, the world’s financial
institutions did not comply with
FinCEN’s FATF initiatives, but those
days are long gone, and every
financial institution in the world has a
compliance department.
In a world where financial institutions
strictly adhere to “Know Your
Customer” compliance regulations,
one would expect to have no trouble
17. I asked Bruce Green to refer me to contact
persons willing to verify his involvement with
their institutions but he declined to comment.
I also asked Bruce Green to identify any
professional licensure that he may have; FINRA
has no record of him.
Bruce Green’s recalcitrance strikes me as odd,
especially since, on December 2, 2011, Bruce
Green suggested that my Client travel to New
York and offered to introduce him to the “Chase
Banker” who could verify the legitimacy of his

19. Later, on December 16, 2011, in an apparent fit
of righteous indignation, Bruce Green once
again claimed to be able to prove his linkage to
financial institutions and protested the
comparative reference to Ruth Liverpool, the
notorious promoter of various loan funding fraud
schemes who is currently awaiting trial, and
profiled in my article, “Dr. Who?”
