Oderli Feriani, savior of BGMO? I don’t think so. I’ve been on the road for a while with no internet access, so forgive me for not posting recently. Looks like I missed a lot!
About 20 minutes of surfing the net revealed the following about Mr. Feriani and his so-called “banks”. According to what I have read on this board, Mr. Feriani, who was an officer at GSP is now affiliated with Prime Banco Adm Bens, Ltd. with the address of Prime Banco being the same as GSP in Sao Paulo. Some have claimed that GSP and Prime Banco have combined in either a purchase or merger. I believe that it was duedilly who posted a Rio De Janiero address for Prime Banco, Rua Da Alfandega 91-13, Andar, Centro, but stated that that is the main office and that the old GSP address was the Sao Paulo address of Prime Banco. All of this is nonsense.
There is an investment bank in Rio De Janiero at Rua Da Alfandega 91-13, Andar, Centro, but it’s NOT Prime Banco Adm Bens, Ltda., it is Banco Prime De Investimentos, S.A. Notice the different names, with the first two words reversed. I called Banco Prime, not Prime Banco, in Rio and no one there knew Oderli Feriani and I was told that they did not have an office in Sao Paulo.
Banco Prime (the real firm) does not have a website although they are mentioned all over the internet. I find it curious that the “main office” does NOT have website but a supposed satellite office does (which make no mention of the main office in Rio). Speaking of Prime Banco’s website, the domain name, primebanco.com.br was first registered on January 27, 2012 (right around the time GSP disappeared from view) and was registered by a company named Prime Total Administracao De Bens E Cobranca Ltda., whose address is . . . wait for it . . . Avenida Carlos Grimaldi, 437, the same address in Sao Paulo as GSP and Prime Banco. I couldn’t find any info on Prime Total Administracao De Bens E Cobranca Ltda., but isn’t it weird that this company has its office in the same vacant building as GSP/Prime Banco?
But wait! There’s more! Whenever domain name is registered, the registrant must provide contact information for a Technical Contact and an Administrative Contact, these are usually IT people at the firm. The Technical and Administrative Contacts for the primebanco.com.br domain is . . . wait for it . . . Oderli Feriani! How many banks do you know of that have one of their Executive Directors act as the administrator of their website? Also interesting to note is that the email address provided by Mr Feriani when the domain name was registered was NOT a GSP or Prime Banco email address, it was oderli@ig.com.br. Ig.com is a very popular Brazilian website that provides news, business, sport and entertainment updates. Why use a personal email address instead of a professional one?
Mr. Feriani is a very busy man. In addition to being an Executive Director at GSP/Prime Banco, and managing the firm’s website, Mr. Feriani is a Director at Inexha Brasil, a real estate and construction firm located on Rua Augusta in Sao Paulo. From the looks of things hey try to raise money for real estate projects and are actively soliciting investors claiming to give investors a very high return on their investments. I have not found a single closed deal for Inexha. Where does he find the time? I wonder if the folks over at Prime Banco know about Oderli’s side job at Inexha and vice versa. Since Oderli is probably the only guy at both places, I will assume the answer is yes.
Here’s my favorite part. There is one transaction I found on the net for Prime Banco (remember, NOT Banco Prime), and of course Oderli Feriani is listed as the contact. It is a Memorandum Of Understanding for a 500 million Euro KTT of an MT103 (sounds so real, doesn’t it?), where Prime Banco is the “sending bank”. A KTT is a form of electronic transmission kind of like SWIFT, but it pre-dates SWIFT. An MT103 is notice that the bank has the document in question. In this transaction, there was no money being sent (read the MOU), it was just going to serve as a balance sheet enhancement. For that privilege that recipient was to pay 30% of the face value of the MT103 (in this case that would amount to $150,000,000). Let’s put aside the fact that the address for Prime Banco in the MOU is a different Sao Paulo address than previously listed (Av Selma Parada 201 123/124) and let’s put aside that the SWIFT Code stated for Prime Banco in the MOU is actually the SWIFT code for Santander Bank (the largest Bank in Brazil – called them too, they never heard of Ordeli Feriani either) not Prime Banco, let’s just focus on who put the deal together and who was supposed to receive the $150 million fee. The broker, whose banking information for purposes of receiving the fee is in the MOU, is Prolead Services. All of the individuals associated with Prolead listed in the MOU have Yahoo email addresses (just like most professionals). In case your curious to know where Prolead Services has its bank account it’s . . . wait for it . . . NIGERIA!!!! the world’s capitol for legitimate business transactions.
In response to the question of how can a fake bank merge with another bank, the answer is, it can’t, because it hasn’t. There is no mention anywhere on the internet of Oderli Feriani being affiliated with Banco Prime (real firm, in Rio), only Prime Banco (fake). And why is it that no other individuals are associated with Prime Banco, no other officers or directors are listed anywhere.
Looks like HH hooked up with another scam artist.
