U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PRESS RELEASES

Treasury Sanctions CJNG-Run Timeshare Fraud Network
March 2, 2023

Action Coordinated with the Government of Mexico
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned eight Mexican companies linked to timeshare fraud on behalf of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG). CJNG is a violent Mexico-based organization that traffics a significant proportion of the illicit fentanyl and other deadly drugs that enter the United States. Today’s action results from a collaboration between the United States and the Government of Mexico.

“As CJNG has consolidated territory over the past decade, it has added other crimes to its core activity of drug trafficking,” said OFAC Director Andrea M. Gacki. “In tourist destinations such as Puerto Vallarta, CJNG has become heavily engaged in timeshare fraud, which often targets U.S. citizens. This crime, which can defraud victims of their life savings, results in another significant revenue stream for the cartel and strengthens its overall criminal enterprise. Today’s action exposes this CJNG scheme and also serves as a warning to potential victims, many of whom are elderly.”


TIMESHARE FRAUD TYPOLOGY
Although there are different types of timeshare fraud, the schemes often involve the following: (1) third-party scammers, who claim to have ready buyers, make unsolicited purchase offers to timeshare owners; (2) if offers are accepted, scammers make requests of timeshare owners for payments of advance fees and taxes, supposedly to facilitate or expedite the sale with assurances of reimbursement upon closing; and (3) once multiple payments have been made to the scammers, timeshare owners eventually realize that the offers were fictitious, that there are no buyers, and that their money is gone.


SANCTIONED COMPANIES
The eight companies designated today, which are linked directly or indirectly to CJNG’s timeshare fraud activities, claim to be financial services or real estate companies. Five of the companies—Servicios Administrativos Fordtwoo, S.A. de C.V., Integracion Badeva, S.A. de C.V., JM Providers Office, S.A. de C.V., Promotora Vallarta One, S.A. de C.V., and Recservi, S.A. de C.V.—are based in or near Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. Servicios Administrativos Fordtwoo, S.A. de C.V. has also made direct payments to CJNG members.


Puerto Vallarta is a CJNG strategic stronghold for drug trafficking and various other illicit activities. OFAC has taken multiple actions against CJNG actors in Puerto Vallarta, including those who have ties to nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. Additionally, OFAC has designated senior CJNG members Carlos Andres Rivera Varela (a.k.a. “La Firma”), Francisco Javier Gudino Haro (a.k.a. “La Gallina”), and Julio Cesar Montero Pinzon (a.k.a. “El Tarjetas”), who are part of a CJNG enforcement group based in Puerto Vallarta that orchestrates assassinations of rivals and politicians using high-powered weaponry.

The remaining companies designated today—Corporativo Title I, S.A. de C.V., Corporativo TS Business Inc, S.A. de C.V., and TS Business Corporativo, S.A. de C.V.—are based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

These eight companies are being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059 for being owned, controlled, or directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, a person sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059, namely, CJNG.

  3. Is anyone surprised not to see El Sapo on this list?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Not surprised about El Sapo 090 not being included seems like Sapo was moved to a different region of Jalisco maybe since 2018. I know that El Sapo controlled región valles for some time but also not anymore. Region Valles is where the colonel was disappeared, Valles was controlled by El Gringo cardenas before being killed by fuerza única in 2015. El Sapo has been around for some time his group was called Los Amos del terror El Sapo and el gringo Cardenas lead this group a very feared group. -Ivan

  9. Bill Barr likens Mexican drug cartels to ISIS, demands Biden send military.
    A very good idea as Mexico is unwilling to do anything and is little more than a failed narco state

      How odd that only CDS is being targeted big time, drug lab bust's, and CJNG is not being touched.
      Talk about preference by the republic government of Mexico.

    3. 12:00 CJNG does not manufacture or traffic fentanyl.

      CDS (Sinaloa), CDG, and CDN are primary sources of the deadly poison and pressing the fake pills.

      Meth that’s high in quality of tens comes from CJNG, and heroin (real), cocaine (Peru & Colombia), weed and occasionally some MDMA and German designer dance club drugs.

  12. Reminds me of the Zetas, doing non-Narco crimes like taking over the bootleg CDs/dvds, and contraband rackets…

    You would think these guys make enough money with extortions and the dope? I guess when they’re told “make money” they do anything they can…

    Something tells me that the money gets reinvested by these middle/lower level guys into big loads, like Molca talked about putting together each month?
