The $12.5B fraud operation no one's talking about
|
Dear Decision Maker, Three source reactions that perfectly illustrate why headlines fail decision-makers. One: A source in Lagos describing how Nigeria's banditry has evolved beyond kidnapping into something resembling organised warfare. The sophistication would surprise most Western analysts still calling it "rural crime." Two: A source in Phnom Penh explaining how Cambodia's scam centres aren't just stealing from individuals. They're building industrial-scale fraud operations that dwarf legitimate economic sectors. We're talking $12.5 billion annually. That's bigger than Cambodia's entire tourism industry. Three: An engineer who confirmed what we suspected about rail guns: the hype is ahead of reality by at least a decade. While everyone debates game-changing weapons, the real innovation is happening in intelligence networks themselves. This is ground truth intelligence. Not what makes headlines, but what drives the decisions that shape markets, geopolitics, and your strategic planning horizon. The reports below don't just inform, they reveal the patterns your competition isn't seeing. Ahmed Hassan

Directly to the person who controlled $200M in project approvals. That's the power of elite networks. Here's what most people get wrong about networking: They collect contacts....
Dear Decision Maker, Western intelligence gets it wrong more often than it admits. Not because the analysts aren't smart. They are. But because they're looking at the world through one lens. I spent years in Western intelligence circles before building networks across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The difference in perspective is staggering. A European intelligence firm once hired us to assess political risk in a West African country. Their report predicted stability based on: GDP growth...
Dear Decision Maker, Most executives see crisis and freeze. Smart money sees crisis and moves. The difference? Intelligence. When COVID hit in early 2020, everyone was paralyzed by uncertainty. Markets crashed. Boardrooms went silent. But one client asked us a different question: "What opportunities are others too scared to see?" Our ground truth assessment revealed something remarkable. While Western companies were pulling back from Africa, Chinese and Indian firms were quietly accelerating...
