Can you help me?

Forward any Cyber crime reports to the Indian CBI or the cyber Crimes Bureau. Local police stations are useless and full of corruption. They are usually paid by rich criminals to turn a blind eye to such criminals and their crimes.

IC3 is the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center

Since the scam uses the Internet, then https://www.ic3.gov is likely the most relevant.

I believe that big laundering cases tend to go to the FBI one way or another (and the treasury department) so approaching them about your concerns would probably be the best first step

I would say the IRS and the FBI are both viable and worthy choices. It would be worth placing matters in the hands of both simultaneously, to make sure it runs through the works easily, but with this high level of detail, i imagine that this sort of case is like candy to any of these branches of law enforcement.

I have a contact inside the Criminal Investigations Department of IRS. I can talk to him in the morning and ask him, but when it comes to monetary fraud in US, the IRS is not to be messed with.

Each state in the USA has an attorney general. California's is Xavier Bacerra (Website https://oag.ca.gov/). This person is in charge of state-level prosecution and is probably more likely than the FBI to pick it up. I would file a complaint with them including all the details about Julian. I would also contact the local Sheriff's office, LASD of Marina Del Rey (https://lasd.org/marina-del-rey/). The Sheriff is an office with plenary law enforcement authority in their locality, who the state and national agencies typically work with, as well as local police. However, police are more limited than the sheriff, so I would contact them first. The other suggestions are fine, too, they just won't go anywhere in all likelihood. If you contact the state and local agencies, it's more likely Mr. Brand will finally be stopped.

Hi Jim, the correct place to go is the Federal Trade Commission. Here is a link: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt

Not sure if this links to the FTC/FBI/DOT, but you may wish to also file an IC3 report: https://www.ic3.gov

As you've not answered your email I'll try it via this chanel. Where, when and at what time(s) are you presenting in The Netherlands? Your tweet was very unclear

Try the Secret Service if the FBI, or Us Treasury department are useless. The department of treasury usually doesn't turn a blind eye to something like that. The secret service also doesn't fuck around either.

Mind you, with the heinous level of corruption at the top of the DoJ, confidence is low.

@Attilla Deak that appears to be right “on the money”!

The FBI is definitely the first step. They will be able to get the Treasury Dept or the IRS involved in it, and any international money laundering scheme that someone already has lots of evidence on is going to get jumped on by them.

Great suggestions so far. I'm going to try a couple of routes to see which is the most successful. Thank you all for these suggestions.

Start with the FTC and FBI. They both deal with scams and cyber crime.

I’d start at the Department of Homeland Security - the 900lb gorilla, to the FBI’s 800lb gorilla. Then the Internal Revenue Service, as there’s bound to be some dodgy tax stuff going on. Might as well inform both, in parallel.

I would say make a complaint to the FTC but I doubt it will go very far though.

just sent you a DM. we have expertise in this area and can assist

I would think this would be a slam dunk for the California attorney generals office. They are VERY consumer friendly, and should love a good PR piece, as well as to do good. Going federal won't be as easy.
