The Pen is Mightier than the Fraud

OffshoreAlert's Mission

For nearly twelve years, OffshoreAlert's mission has been to protect individuals and businesses from becoming victims of serious financial crime.

 

To accomplish this end, OffshoreAlert has dedicated itself to exposing ongoing multi-jurisdictional, white-collar crime in offshore financial centers, including investment fraud, money laundering and corruption.

 

During that time, OffshoreAlert's relentless pursuit of securities fraudsters, investment scammers, money launderers and other white-collar criminals has made it an internationally-known and respected source for due diligence information, Know Your Customer research and risk management.

 

Despite seemingly insurmountable opposition, OffshoreAlert continues to embrace its philosophy that the The Pen is Mightier than the Fraud.

About the Publisher

David Marchant

David Marchant, owner of KYC News Inc., is an investigative journalist who has exposed numerous international, white-collar crimes during his career, leading to four libel lawsuits against him – all of which were unsuccessful. Mr. Marchant is regularly referenced for financial crime stories by the world’s media, including The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Miami Herald, CBS News, Bloomberg Business News, The Times of London, the Independent on Sunday, and BBC Radio.

 

Marchant began covering offshore finance while working in Bermuda from 1990-96, a country that he was forced to leave after being denied a work permit for writing investigative articles that upset the local establishment. Apart from turning down an application for a work permit and appeals, then Finance Minister Grant Gibbons turned down an application to incorporate the Company in Bermuda as an exempted company after the Bermuda Monetary Authority had recommended approval.

 

In his career, he has written for publications in England, Wales, Bermuda and the United States, including the Gwent Gazette, Bournemouth Evening Echo, Western Daily Press and Lloyd's List/Insurance Day newspapers in Britain, The Royal Gazette and Bermuda Sun newspapers in Bermuda and National Underwriter insurance magazine in the United States.
