CASE DETAILS
CASE IN BRIEF
- Date of Incident: October 5 & 6, 2024 (9:58PM-3:05AM)
- Location: Kraków, Poland
- Amount Lost: $25,861.68 CAD
- Platform Involved: Wise (formerly TransferWise)
- What Happened: Drugged, incapacitated, and extorted for several hours while seven Wise currency balances were drained through 34 high-risk transactions
- Wise’s Initial Response: Denial. Dismissal. Contradiction.
- Wise’s Stated Position:
“It was not detected that there were any irregularities or any signs of security breach..” - Later Actions: Wise forwarded £1,059.62 in merchant-initiated refunds (via Revolut), while maintaining no irregularities were detected.
WISE'S SYSTEM FAILURE
- Wise approved 34 transactions during an active assault — including multiple tap payments, seven rapid-fire currency / exchanges, and three high- value wire transfers
- Seven currency / exchanges occurred within a three minute window at 3AM
- Wise’s platform allowed a new digital card to be created after freezing the previous one, and fraud continued afterward.
- No Anti-Money Laundering (AML) red flags were triggered — despite a pattern consistent with textbook money-laundering indicators.
- This wasn’t just system failure — Wise generated revenue while I was being victimized.
