According to a media report, Jagmeet Channa, who was convicted of mishandling accounts\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> while working at HSBC's Canary Wharf headquarters, now works for a cryptocurrency firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He deals with clients and potential investors, and the firm's website makes no mention of his role in what the judge described as a “sophisticated criminal enterprise” in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channa, who hails from Ilford in east London, is said to have returned to Liquidcash's ICO Operations team, which promises a “payment system designed to integrate crypto payments into the real world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His web profile claims his responsibilities include “project management of all important stakeholders<\/a>” and being the first point of contact for possible investors, according to a report by Mail Online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His online LinkedIn page indicates that he was working as a business analyst for a firm named SK Berkeley during the time he was in jail, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channa told Mail Online that his employers were aware of his past and that his job was developing software rather than dealing with money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also told the news source that his LinkedIn CV was not done “deliberately” and that he will correct it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channa also claimed that he changed his name to “Jag Singh” to make it more “dynamic,” and that he never boasted about his criminal record while hiring employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2008, it was reported that a 25-year-old bank staffer wired \u00a371,632,807 to a Barclays branch in Manchester and a French bank account in Morocco using the passwords of coworkers<\/a>. However, the debt was quickly found, prompting an investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
