Interesting. Portuguese links...Mccann case. Digging in.
EDIT: On the Utrade company - checked into some of the phone numbers, as I used to live in the 949 area code area myself as well as the city they're listed in (Irvine, CA) - led me to this:
Royale Gift Card, Inc
17595 Harvard Ave C305
Irvine, CA 92614
This is weird because according to DNS/whois records - their "website" royalegiftcards.com - has never been registered before, ever.
Location Type Branch (huh?)
Year Established 2008
Employees 2 to 4
SIC Code 5162, Plastics Materials and Basic Forms and Shapes
Business Categories
Credit Card Distributors in Irvine, CA

Both contain similar information but somewhat different wording. What's utterly weird and giving me that "feeling" I get where something just feels OFF about this - a feeling many of you will be familiar with yourselves if you are reading this you know what I'm talking about -- this information is all way too wrong, and seems purposely spread with the express intent of existing as misinformation/data flooding to obfuscate other shit going on. Like, these companies are clearly shell companies for something else going on. That address in Irvine is an area I'm quite familiar with...I had a friend who used the SAME EXACT address -- it's a place called "Pacific Mail" which has notary services and mail boxes. You'll find a shitload of different businesses, some of them sketchy and possibly related to this guy, if you search for the address - anything that's listed as "Suite CXXX" or "Unit CXXX" "#CXXX" is in fact a rented mailbox within pacific mail - the numbers after the C being the box number. Everything else in this shopping center (it's a strip mall with a coffee bean and other shit) so fyi any other addresses at that street number will be Ste A, Ste F etc. Not a number. Making it even more strange that this page says it's a "branch" and to "stop on by"
According to the Manta.com page Anmar Pasha has been a member of their site since Sept 2010 - doesn't seem like it's an active profile at all and likely was just set up once. But why go through the trouble to use a deliberately fake email for your "business"? Not to mention a non-existent website. Here's his "profile" page for reference: http://www.manta.com/p/t0m1hj4cs/ammar-pasha
THANK YOU SO MUCH for looking into this with me! These are some EXTREMELY bizarre business arrangements! Especially Utrade's CEO Ammar Lbrahim Pasha's Linked-in account.

This is bizarre - royal.net - not a real website (it's a domain parking site -- the only places that list this specific email address anywhere online -- "[email protected]" which is clearly incorrect, are on this manta.com page: http://www.manta.com/c/mtcc11m/royale-gift-card-inc and this page http://caackle.com/Address-Contact-Number-of-Royale-Gift-Card-Inc-in-Irvine-CA/udhgku/S5/A45/ (another similar type site caackle.com):

Who ships concrete? It would me so much cheaper & efficient to make in place.
