Delaware parking lot. I drove past it this morning. It's a strip mall. There's a nail salon and a tax office. The tax office has no sign. The door was locked at 10 AM on a Tuesday. I took a photo.
The Zurich holding company has a beneficial owner listed as a trust in the Channel Islands. The trust has a single beneficiary. The beneficiary's address is a parking lot in Delaware. I love this job.
Saturday morning. Office is empty. I've got the whole floor to myself and the Ryker file spread across three desks. Some people do puzzles on the weekend. This is mine.
Ran the Zurich holding company through the FinCEN database. Fourteen suspicious activity reports in eleven months. Fourteen. And nobody actioned a single one.
The 1999 permit connects to a company dissolved in 2003. The director of that company is now on the board of a Zurich-registered holding firm. Six degrees. Getting warmer.
Third coffee. Pulled the Jersey City permit archive for 1999. Cross-referencing with the holding company filings. My boss asked why I'm still on this. I said I like reading.
