Alain Chalem, 41, was shot once in each eye, once in each ear and once in the mouth, according to an investigator who has seen the autopsy, which has not been made public. "That's message stuff," said Howard Abadinsky, an expert on organized crime in Chicago. I think that it is fair to say that Chalem was the primary target. But later text may indicate otherwise. At least two guns were used, according to prosecutors. Mutiple gunmen?

Okay, now we have a working scenario: Big pro hit. But nobody is going to pop them if they are going to be the logical suspect. Too easy for the feds to build a case. And no one exchanges a stock fraud beef for a murder rap. Unless chalem was about to testify tomorrow. But there is no evidence of that and I think the FBI would have leaked that if it were. So we operate under the assumption that someone is protecting an ongoing income stream or a recent income stream and has not be yet detected. This is so blatant, that the perp must feel very confident of levels of protection. Best guess here, is OUTSIDE the country. Russia is the country that comes to mind; since the country has fallen on bad economic times been reputedly exporting their organized crime element to the US. That would fit. The connection will be the money trail. Two ways: Bank accounts: possible to get on the net, but very hard. If you could look for transfer of money out of Shell Bank accounts to any off shore controlled intermediaries. Even tho the account will be in the name of a shell corporation the chances are good that the "local account" will be in one of the cities that the victim frequented which has connections with a bank that has what is called a "correspondent relationship" with a major offshore bank. Stock Transfers: Transfers of share certificate are not subject to the currency disclosure rules, Its an easy way to get cash transferred internationally with violating these rules. Now this is where it gets interesting. Two major American Banks have been popped recently for transferring illicit funds. One was citigroup and the other ??? within the last two months. And if memory serves, both for RUSSIAN issues. I would start with those branches first. Both victims. We must assume for now taht they were both targets. Deep Duke.
