Sri Lanka’s Disastrous Maritime Chemical Conundrum
Off the coast of Sri Lanka on May 20th, a distress call was put out by the ship known as “X-Press Pearl” for a fire that was spotted onboard. The ship came from Hazira, India, and was heading towards Colombo, Sri Lanka. Onboard were 1486 containers that included multiple hazardous chemicals such as nitric acid, which is corrosive. After the navy contained the fire, all crew members were evacuated, and the ship was abandoned to sit in the ocean. The boat is currently sinking and might leak tons of oil, industrial chemicals, and other materials such as plastics into the surrounding ocean environment. The area that the boat sits in is a rich fishing area that contributes to Sri Lanka’s GDP(gross domestic product).
The ship has already leaked tons of plastic pellets onto the beachline of the Sri Lankan coast and could start leaking oil from the ship in the coming days. Pamunugama beach has been covered in plastic pellets, and members of the Sri Lankan military have spent hours taking away sacks full of plastic nuisances. More pellets wash up with the tide, so the cleanup must be continuous to save the beach from being completely unusable. The pellets have already impacted the ecosystem. A significant amount of local wildlife has most likely ingested the plastic pellets in some capacity. Toxic chemicals could end up inside the pellets, so authorities are not sure if they are safe to touch.
The issue with plastic pellets(also known as nurdles) is that they can chronically impact an ecosystem for decades. Fish that consume nurdles can pass the pollution up the food chain and fill predators with large amounts of plastic waste. Nurdles can also kill animals by getting stuck in their gills or blocking their internal systems by accident. Countries surrounding this disaster will eventually get drifts of the nurdles released from this incident in around 40 days. These plastics will remain in the marine ecosystems for decades and lead to countless dead or polluted organisms. Scientists still are not fully aware of what exactly nurdles can do to animals over long periods of time.
The other chemicals on the ship are another major issue. Oil reserves sitting in the sinking boat could poison the waters around the ship and create a massive no-fishing zone. Other chemicals like nitric acid can irritate or damage organisms or people if it becomes infused in the water. Chemical drift from the site of the ship will most likely extend the effects of the spill to cover a massive area around the west Sri Lankan coastline. BP’s “Deepwater Horizon” oil spill from 2010 has shown the pure devastation that oil spills alone can impose on environments and economies. Economies based on the Gulf of Mexico were extremely limited in tourism and fishing areas for a significant period of time.
Sri Lanka relies on fishing and tourism more than other nations because they are an island. Losing the fishing areas could mean thousands of Sri Lankans have no livelihood until the spill is completely cleaned up. Beaches that are hit hardest by the plastic pellet invasion will lose local economies hundreds of thousands in lost revenue. The timing of this incident is terrible due to the current rise in “eco-tourism” and the large groups of quarantined people that will want to travel soon. Losing the chance to host the upcoming travel boom is a colossal issue, given that Sri Lanka’s economy needs a boost after three waves of covid-19.
It could take Sri Lanka a decade to fully recover from the amount of pollution released during the sinking of the “X-Press Pearl.” Sri Lanka will most likely seek compensation from the owners of the leaking ship in order to recuperate some losses to pay for the cleanup. The money recovered from the ship’s owner will likely be less than a hundredth of the total cleanup cost.
Sri Lanka’s environmental destruction is more relevant for many countries now because of the aforementioned “eco-tourism” boom in recent years. Natural wonders like Yosemite national park in the United States are attracting more tourists than ever in recent years, especially with the pandemic. Protecting nature is now imperative if countries want to foster increasing tourism industry revenues. “Eco-tourism” directly benefits the local communities without disturbing the environment. Many local communities and smaller villages across places like East Asia need economic benefits at the moment to help fight the financial woes of the current wave of the covid-19 pandemic.
Sri Lanka will have a long road ahead in the coming months if they want to recover enough from this incident in time to fully benefit from the next big summer tourism seasons of 2022 and 2023.

One thing I want to say is the fact car insurance cancelling is a dreadful experience and if you are doing the correct things being a driver you won’t get one. Some people do get the notice that they are officially dropped by the insurance company they have to scramble to get extra insurance from a cancellation. Low cost auto insurance rates tend to be hard to get after the cancellation. Understanding the main reasons regarding auto insurance cancellation can help drivers prevent burning off one of the most crucial privileges available. Thanks for the ideas shared through your blog.

I will also like to convey that most of those who find themselves with no health insurance are typically students, self-employed and people who are without a job. More than half in the uninsured are really under the age of 35. They do not feel they are requiring health insurance as they are young as well as healthy. Its income is normally spent on houses, food, and also entertainment. A lot of people that do go to work either complete or part time are not offered insurance by means of their work so they proceed without due to rising price of health insurance in america.

Сергей Сароян: аферист и мошенник из Телетрейда
Источник: FBIАвтор: Сергей Скиннер

Сергей Сароян
18.02.2021 – То, что международный брокер Телетрейд вот уже четверть века обманывает клиентов по всему миру, давно ни для кого не секрет.
А за каждой масштабной аферой, конечно же, стоят люди — те, кто придумал, организовал и десятилетиями внедряет в жизнь преступную мошенническую схему. Среди них особо выделяется Сергей Сароян — директор всех украинских офисов Телетрейд.
“Отцом” компании Телетрейд был Владимир Чернобай. Недавно он скончался в Европе, где скрывался от правосудия.
Его наследники — вдова Анна Чернобай и племянник Олег Суворов, и другие прижизненные приспешники Чернобая, продолжают «мошенничество в особо крупных размерах». Именно так квалифицировали деятельность Телетрейд в России и Казахстане, где на брокера уже открыты уголовные дела.
Но в Украине, несмотря на многочисленные жалобы обманутых клиентов, уголовное дело пока не заведено. Похоже, Сергей Сароян знает, на какие рычаги во властных структурах нажимать, чтобы Телетрейд продолжал безнаказанно грабить украинцев.
Сергей Сароян и его роль в глобальном мошенничестве Телетрейд
Сергей Сароян — хитрый и двуличный, но при этом трусливый и бесхребетный, он умеет приспособиться и готов прогнуться, когда того требует ситуация
Сергей Сароян — одиозная личность, с раздутым самолюбием и большими амбициями. Хитрый и двуличный, но при этом трусливый и бесхребетный, он умеет приспособиться и готов прогнуться, когда того требует ситуация. Он с легкостью раздает сладкие обещания, и с такой же легкостью подставляет тех, с кем работает, если обстоятельства складываются не в его пользу. Однажды, правда, это ему не помогло, и мошенника выгнали за воровство. Но обо всем по порядку.
На заре своей карьеры выпускник одесской академии связи Сергей Сароян, работал в телекоммуникационной компании. В попытке продвинуться по карьерной лестнице он не нашел ничего лучше, как предложить руководству свои услуги в качестве доносчика, обещая рассказывать, о чем говорят в коллективе и кто с кем в каких отношениях пребывает. Но это предложение не встретило одобрения и стукачу-неудачнику пришлось уволиться. А невостребованные «способности» пригодились несколько позже, в Телетрейд.
В 2005-2006 годах Сергей Сароян был региональным куратором — фактически единоличным правителем Телетрейд в Украине. Ему подчинялись более 30 офисов по всей Украине: Киев, Одесса, Николаев, Харьков, Львов, Черновцы, и другие городах. В ведении Сарояна были также офисы в Европе и Азии — в Италии, Португалии, Польше, Венгрии, Малайзии, и других странах. И деньги лились в карман мошенника рекой — Сергей Сароян получал 3% от инаута (in-out), то есть от разницы между вводом денег клиентов(“in”) и выводом (“out”). Уже тогда в Телетрейд вращались гигантские суммы. В среднем ежемесячно клиенты только украинских офисов Сарояна приносили в компанию от $1 500 000, а выводили около $500 000. То есть in-out, соответственно, составлял $1 000 000, а зарплата Сарояна — более $30 000 в месяц. Но алчность, которая двигала Сарояном, заставляла его направлять всех клиентов в мошеннический проект Телетрейд “Биржа трейдеров”. Торговать на бирже умеет далеко не каждый, и самый логичный выход, который из этого видится — доверить свои деньги профессионалу. Однако брокерская компания не имеет право брать деньги клиентов в управление, и в Телетрейд создали якобы независимый проект «Биржа трейдеров». Мошенник Сергей Сароян именно туда направлял всех клиентов. И подконтрольные трейдеры сливали клиентам депозиты, иногда просто за одну ночь.
«Биржа трейдеров» сливала клиентские деньги, и выводить клиентам уже было нечего. Инаут в украинских офисах в этом случае составлял $1 500 000, а зарплата мошенника вырастала до $45 000 только по Украине. Так Сергей Сароян обворовывал клиентов ни один год. Но, в итоге, был изгнан из компании за воровство. Найти равноценный источник дохода мошеннику не удалось, его образ жизни стал значительно скромнее. Попросту говоря, Сергей Сароян начал стремительно беднеть. Компании не спешили предлагать ему руководящие должности, а коучинг особых прибылей не приносил.
Говорят, что в одну и ту же реку нельзя войти дважды. Но Сергей Сароян сумел. Спустя пять лет его снова позвали в Телетрейд, и он с радостью согласился. Вероятно руководство компании высоко ценит «талант» Сарояна разводить и обворовывать людей.
Сегодня мошенник и хапуга Сергей Сароян вернулся и снова начал кидать клиентов, возглавив все клиентские офисы Телетрейд в Украине, Португалии, Италии, Польше, Румынии и Венгрии. Но теперь уже, как директор, он получает не 3%, а долю со слитых депозитов клиентов. А вот признаваться прилюдно в причастности к мошеннической брокерской компании новоиспеченный директор не спешит. В своих соцсетях Сергей Сароян лишь туманно намекает на консультационные услуги, которые оказывает Телетрейд. Аферист тщательно маскируется, однако обманутым клиентам компании удалось вывести его на чистую воду — они получили доказательство того, что именно Сергей Сароян сегодня стоит у руля украинского Телетрейд. Видеоролик, где он сам признается в этом, был показан на пресс-конференции, состоявшейся в июле 2020 года.
В этом эксклюзивном видео видно как Сергей Сароян принимает в управление украинские офисы компании Центр Биржевых Технологий — дочернего предприятия Телетрейд в Украине.
Эту пресс-конференцию провела инициативная группа обманутых клиентов Телетрейд]. Цель, которую они поставили перед собой — вывести на чистую воду брокера-мошенника и все руководство компании, а также вернуть свои деньги. Материалы, собранные обманутыми клиентами демонстрируют схемы развода, которые используются в Телетрейд. В частности, проект «Синхронная торговля», который пришел на смену «Бирже трейдеров». В «Синхронной торговле» уже не люди-трейдеры, а торговые роботы сливают клиентские депозиты. Теперь именно в этот проект заманивает клиентов Сергей Сароян. А затем, в определенный момент, дает программистам компании указание, и те перепрограммируют роботов на заключение заведомо убыточных сделок. Так депозиты клиентов сливаются в ноль.
Сергей Сароян опустошает карманы украинцев и подрывает экономику страны
Эти мошеннические схемы давно попали в поле зрения правоохранительных органов в России — уголовное дело на Телетрейд там завели еще несколько лет назад.
Последовали примеру российских коллег и в Казахстане, где уголовное производство началось летом 2020 года. Руководители казахского филиала Телетрейд и дочерней компании Wall Street Invest Partners сейчас находятся в следственном изоляторе.
Чтобы замять уголовные дела в России, руководители Телетрейд Сергей Шамраев, Олег Суворов и Мингиян Манжиков дают взятки чиновникам в Следственном Комитете РФ — ежемесячно «отстегивают» им около 20% от поступлений, а это сотни тысяч. И не рублей, а долларов. По инсайдерской информации руководство Телетрейд в России заставляют также финансировать боевые действия на Востоке Украины — мошенники отдают на это еще 10% от поступлений. Если рассматривать деятельность Телетрейд и с этой стороны, то мошенник Сергей Сароян, как директор Телетрейд, не только обворовывает своих сограждан страны, а еще и финансирует боевиков ДНР и ЛНР, отнимающих жизни украинцев.
Вызывает удивление тот факт, что в Украине деятельность Телетрейд на протяжении четверти века никто не проверяет. Количество обманутых клиентов брокера огромно. Мошенниками ежемесячно выводятся в офшоры миллионы долларов. Но пока правоохранительные органы не замечают, или не хотят замечать, противозаконной деятельности брокера. По сведениям из источников внутри компании Сергей Сароян рассказывает своим подчиненным — управляющим офисов в Украине, что им не нужно ничего бояться, так как руководство Департамента киберполиции Украины сидит у него на «зарплате». Вот так безнаказанно (пока!) Сергей Сароян разоряет украинцев, подрывает экономику Украины и спонсирует российскую агрессию на Донбассе.
