The Grayzone and Nate Bear: Israel protects Mexican official wanted for mass kidnap-murder, along with accused sex criminals and fraudsters
As has often been noted, Jews in general have no respect for laws per se. Thus mainstream Jewish organizations and the Israeli government are happy to take donations form convicted fraudsters like Marc Rich whose plea for a pardon included letters from a wide swath of Jewish beneficiaries of his largesse, including Israeli government officials, the ADL, Birthright Israel, etc.
Israel is home to droves of international criminals accused or found guilty in a second country of various crimes
Among the most notorious figures protected by Israel is Tomás Zerón, accused mastermind of the kidnapping and murder of 43 Mexican students in Ayotzinapa.
This article was originally published by ¡DoNotPanic! and features additional editing by The Grayzone.
Among the most notorious accused criminals being protected from justice by Israel is Timur Mindich, the ultimate financial beneficiary of the Ukrainian drone maker Fire Point. Mindich fled to Israel last year, just days before being charged as the mastermind behind a $100 million embezzlement scheme involving Ukraine’s state nuclear power company. Mindich also happens to be the co-owner of Kvartal 95 Studio, the production company founded by Volodymyr Zelensky.
Mindich, like many in this article, has taken advantage of Israel’s controversial Law of Return which allows any Jew in the world to claim Israeli citizenship without having to renounce their home country passport.
Some of those accused and charged have made minor or international headlines, some haven’t, but the scale of the issue was such that I thought it would be useful to document my research here.
In some cases, Israel has refused to extradite the wanted person despite requests from the country in which the crimes were committed.
Staying on Ukraine and refused extradition requests, we have Oleksandr Dubilet, the former Chairman of the Board of Ukraine’s PrivatBank. Dubilet is currently a fugitive in Israel and the subject of multiple criminal investigations and extradition requests for his role in embezzling at least $100 million dollars following the 2016 privatisation of PrivatBank. To date, Israel has refused to extradite him.
Israel as a bolthole for financial fraudsters is a common theme. One of the most significant SEC fraud cases in recent years involved over 150 Israelis (some with dual US-Israeli nationality, others not), wanted for their role in conducting binary options fraud worth upwards of $100 billion.
Binary options are a type of financial bet where the outcome is essentially all-or-nothing. Instead of buying a stock or currency, you bet on whether the price of a stock or currency will be above or below a certain level at a specific time. While not illegal, the Israeli companies were accused of rigging and manipulating prices and expiry times and using fake identities.
For a decade until 2017, Israel was the global centre for the online binary-options industry. The Israeli police failed to investigate, so hundreds of cases were filed in Israeli courts by people from dozens of countries who had been defrauded.
One of the most notorious fraudsters was Lee Elbaz, the CEO of Yukom Communications, a dual US-Israeli national. She was arrested in 2017 when on holiday in New York and eventually convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Other prime Israeli movers in the binary options fraud business were Yossi Herzog and Yakov Cohen, both connected with Yukom and other binary options front companies. They were charged with $140 million fraud in 2019 but despite being under a DOJ criminal investigation the US choose not to pursue their extradition, while other Israeli co-conspirators in the Yukom case have joined Elbaz in serving jail sentences.
Other Israeli kingpins in the binary options sector include Ran Amiran and Malhaz Patarkazishvili, also known as Pini Peter. They were charged with $100 million fraud by the SEC for their role managing the fraudulent options trader Spot Option. Because it was a civil case and the DOJ wasn’t involved they weren’t eligible for extradition from Israel and continue to reside in Israel. It was reported in 2021 that Amiran had reached a financial settlement for the damages with the SEC, likely so that he could once again travel to the US. Peter, a friend of Netanyahu’s, remains unrepentant, despite being ordered to pay the US government $87 million, a judgment he has appealed.
There are hundreds of other Israel-linked individuals charged with binary options fraud identified on the SEC website, including joint German-Israel nationals Gil and Raz Beserglik who ran binary options call centres out of Germany to scam people.
Another hotbed of Israeli fraud is the moving industry, where companies pose as legitimate household goods movers only to steal belongings or withhold items unless additional payment is made. One of the largest “hostage load” prosecutions was of Advanced Moving Systems, an Israeli-run company which lured customers with artificially low moving estimates and then extorted them by holding their household goods hostage until they paid fraudulently inflated prices. Many of the dozens of people behind the scam remain wanted, with their current location unknown. Dozens of other Israelis connected with fraudulent moving companies also remain on the run, and have likely fled to Israel. (Incidentally, the Israelis arrested by the FBI on September 11th and quickly released were working for a Mossad counterintelligence operation using a moving company as cover. But that’s another story).
Penny stock fraud is another rich seam for Israeli crooks. This type of fraud takes place when the stocks of small companies trading under $5 a share are marketed to often older and uniformed people using high pressure sales marketing tactics, with the caller promising guaranteed returns, often claiming to have inside information. One of the largest instances in recent years saw dual US-Israeli citizen Sharone “Barry” Perlstein and numerous Israeli co-conspirators charged with creating at least 15 fraudulent public shell companies to sell millions of dollars worth of penny stocks using fraudulent tactics. Previous penny stock fraud cases had also involved Israeli nationals.
The diamond industry has also attracted a fair share of Israeli swindlers. One of the most well-known is Mordechai “Moti” Ferder, a California-based luxury jeweller at the centre of one of the largest fraud scandals in the American jewellery industry. Ferder was accused of juicing his company’s accounts to boost the valuation before selling to an investment company, while in reality he was racking up liabilities worth hundreds of millions of dollars. In 2025, with an FBI investigation underway, Ferder fled California for Tel Aviv.
Then there is Gery Shalon, the Georgia-born Israeli responsible for hacking JP Morgan and carrying out the largest theft of customer data from an American financial institution in history.
Outside the fraud cases, Israel also attracts politicians attempting to shield themselves from justice in their home countries. One of the most notorious and ongoing cases is that of Tomás Zerón, the former director of the Criminal Investigation Agency of Mexico. Zerón, who received training in Israel before assuming control of Mexico’s version of the FBI, is accused by Mexican authorities of having direct involvement in the kidnap, torture, and likely murder of dozens of university students.
The Ayotzinapa kidnapping is considered one of Mexico’s most heinous human rights abuse cases. It took place in 2014, when forty-three leftist students were kidnapped and disappeared on their way to Mexico City to commemorate the anniversary of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre. Zerón is said to have known or ordered the students to be handed over to a cartel group to be murdered and disposed of. The former Mexican top cop promptly fled to Israel after being officially accused of participating in the crime.
Despite an extradition order, an Interpol red notice and numerous requests from Mexico to hand him over, Israel has refused, reportedly as punishment for Mexico’s criticism of Israel at the UN.
Another Mexican diplomat who fled to Israel is Andrés Roemer. Formerly Mexico’s Ambassador to UNESCO based in Paris, and Consul General of Mexico in San Francisco, Roemer fled to Israel in 2021 after being accused by 61 women of rape and sexual assault. While a Jerusalem court has authorized the former diplomat’s extradition to Mexico, he remains in Israel under house arrest.
Roemer is not alone among Jewish sex criminals fleeing from justice in the home countries to Israel. The phenomenon is so prevalent that even CBS News has covered it. Probably the most famous accused sex criminals to have fled to Israel are the Hollywood directors Brett Ratner and Bryan Singer. Rush Hour director Ratner, a good friend of Netanyahu’s, fled to Israel in 2023 after being accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct and assault on set.
Singer, the director of two X-Men films and the 1990’s hit, The Usual Suspects, fled to Israel around 2020 after being accused of sexual abuse, including of children.

Israel is a magnet for criminals of all flavors, making this brief compendium just the tip of the iceberg. The Law of Return, known to be policed very lightly, is a gateway allowing Jews to use their dual nationality to commit crimes and then swerve justice under an ethno-supremacist legal regime set up to protect them. Some succeed in avoiding justice, while others are not so lucky.

At first glance, “beer soup” doesn’t
sound like a delicacy. But it’s said to
be a very old dish that was already
being eaten for breakfast in the Mid-
dle Ages—by the whole family. Swiss version:

Did you know that the (supposedly) American mass-produced shark nose on warplanes was a German invention? They simply mimicked it, as their parrot-like nature dictates, and replicated it a hundredfold.
The Germans, on the other hand, saw this idea as nothing more than a joke born of locally limited ingenuity. This is a typical pattern that can still be seen today, starting with the “Hamburger,” which is now a hackneyed “American product.”

That sounds lovely, and if I’m ever in Wisconsin, I’d sure like to try some.
Yeah, me too. There’s definitely a lot to learn there about the history of German immigrants. The area around the Great Lakes must be beautiful, but Pennsylvania is certainly worth a visit from a historical perspective as well.
And, we can always run away and join the … Amish! ‘

Great book, and in the end the author and his wife elected to move back to a city because for what they wanted in life, the city was cheaper. But it shows there are possibilities.
Yes, that’s right, Mista Germanized Italian!
No German would ever use Irish “Guinness”
for his beer soup (like that so-called ‘Swiss’
guy—who, on top of that, uses a “Dutch o-
ven” with Cyrillic lettering!). It’s all a scam!

This … “easily usable individual” believes
that Schelling—who was infiltrated by Jew
Spinoza—finally grasped “evil” in its “de-
monic” entirety and brought it to account.
“Evil,” Schelling claimed, is not a vacuum
(as I maintain), but rather a “something”!

No wonder that he—presumably born the ma-
ma’s boy of a well-to-do family (what normal,
down-to-earth mom gives her son a name like
“Achill”)—considers the anti-white negro movie
“Odyssey” to be “ultra-conservative”—anyone
who doesn’t believe that is fooling themselves!

What does “Evil is a vacuum” mean? A vacuum is emptiness, lack, a deficit—in other words, the opposite of abundance and inner richness. It is a minus, not a plus; it is pessimism rather than optimism. It can be a vacuum in the heart, despite abundance in the mind (as with the fatally destructive Jews), or vice versa (their equivalent victims).
Just like a vacuum, evil strives to parasitically replenish itself, to recharge—and thus to drain you; it needs the energy that abundance provides. It wants to seize something, to possess it, to dominate it; it cannot exist without that “something.” In this respect, Schelling’s shadow analogy is correct, but ultimately leads to a flawed conclusion.
Anglo-Americans have a fitting term for evil, without being aware of the mechanics behind it: “It sucks!” They sort of “sense” something that they are unable to fully grasp verbally or intellectually. If something sucks, then someone is using you as their personal quarry! He’s draining your life force. He’s weakening you—only THAT is evil!
Meanwhile, professional victims’ ideal professional victim, Dara Horn, has published another screed against us goyim: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jewish/comments/1vgii03/dara_horns_shocking_new_title_hides_a_serious/ I wonder if she’ll bring up the “one million goy lives are worth one Chosen life” argument?
I read her “People Love Dead Jews” book and it’s a great title, taken non-ironically. It was not a good read, not an engaging book at all. There are political screeds that are good reading, and that helps their cause. All her books are, are what you’d get if Yersenia pestis had gained the ability to type.
Absolutely excellent article, this can’t be refuted, crimes are so objectionable no one’s going to brush them aside.
Of course, ‘Flower Valley ‘ is a jew, and the most useful category of jews- the good jew.
Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro types of propaganda are now objectionable, but Blumenthal does more than anyone for jews- people can point at him and say, ‘look at Blumenthal, he’s a good jew, they’re not all like that’
So now, we have to use a jew … to refute jews 👌
And he’s good, just a bit too good, really.
In a radically individualistic “self-help book” written by management consultant Reinhard K. Sprenger specifically for the general reader—which I read countless years ago—the following paragraph appears:
“When German historians claim ‘that Germany after 1933 was an ‘occupied country’’ (Hans Rothfels), in which a ‘club of criminals’ had succeeded in ‘forcing the German people into its ranks for twelve years’ (Friedrich Meinecke), and that National Socialism was ‘a satanic distortion of genuine German tradition’ (Gerhard Ritter), then this victim narrative—as a counter-narrative to guilt and repression—is humanly understandable but factually nonsense. We in Germany, of all people, should never forget: It is never the dictator who creates the circumstances; it is always the circumstances that create the dictator.”
Quite interesting, by the way…

Back then, I have to confess, having been infected by this ideology, I was on an unrestrained “ego trip” for quite a while and greedily devoured this stuff in search of ultimate self-fulfilment, but very soon I ran up against the limits of this thoroughly antisocial concept.
In my view, a life in which everything revolves exclusively around oneself is not only worthless, but at best pitiful. Sprenger published additional books for the general reader, with titles such as “The Revolt of the Individual” or “The Trained Citizen”, in which he rails against state control and paternalism.
In many ways, he isn’t entirely wrong, but people who are caught up in their own egos can be extremely lonely “indivisible individuals”. They build up a shell of emotional armor within themselves and remain in a constant state of defense. With folks like Schizo-Brandy, you can observe the process of getting lost in egomaniacal fantasies practically live and in color.
To be honest, that’s not how I want to end my life. The social context is clearly neglected in such writings, even if they hypocritically claim: “If everyone is selfish and ignorant, then ultimately everyone will be fine!” The world simply doesn’t work that way, and this attitude invites constant, exhausting conflicts.

Mr. Sprenger essentially operates on a psychological and emotional level as a needy child ego, yet at the same time seeks to “decisively” assert his “needs” through a sort of contrived adult ego. He is driven by a “will-driven” obsession with self-improvement.
He constantly wants to rub it in his fellow human beings’ faces just how “irresponsible” they are toward themselves! I, on the other hand, am guided rather by the ancient Buddhist tenet: All suffering in the world begins with desire! Fulfill the needs of child’s ego!
He seeks to act in such “autonomous,” “independent,” and “sovereign” manner—apparently because his childhood consisted entirely of dependencies—will ultimately realize that a life centered on the “self,” as he advocates it, is contrived and inorganic.
His contradiction, one he himself is apparently not even aware. He wants to fulfill “desires, dreams, needs” directed toward others through sheer “willpower,” and to do so as independently of others as possible! But “individualism” SEPARATES us from others!
