Schneider could be facing 40-year sentence if tried in U.S.

Eringer

Continued from Page A3 the second instance in which an intelligence official I encountered while directing Monaco intelligence is facing serious criminal charges. The first was Frank Schneider, foreign intelligence chief of the Luxembourg service, who, after retiring at a young age due to a domestic political wire-tapping scandal, associated himself with One Coin, a cryptocurrency outfit that turned out to be a sham.

In 2001, Mr. Schneider was indicted by New

York Southern District Court following a grand jury investigation into fraud and money laundering. He remains under house arrest in France, which last year ordered his extradition to the U.S. and from where he is trying to change the venue of his prosecution to Luxembourg, though the prime minister of his native country says there are no legal grounds for such circumvention.

Frank is looking at 40 years (if/when tried in the U.S.) for his complicity with Ruja Ignatova, a Bulgarian known as “CryptoQueen,” who founded the $4 billion One Coin Ponzi scheme — and then, when the jig was up, disappeared without a trace. of ONDAS Student Center programs, workshops, and activities, including the development of new projects and programs. Responsible for updating and coordinating the ONDAS Student Center social media and UCSB Platforms. Assists in the hiring, intensive training, and continuous training of student staff. Reqs: High School diploma or GED. Experience working in an academic or office setting. Note: Satisfactory conviction history background check. Budgeted hourly salary $26.09 - $27.90 hr.

I quite liked Frank. I still do, believing he got caught up in something way over his head while allowing greed to get the better of him. And I feel great sadness for his family.

Clearly, there is something about intelligence work that brings out the funambulist in some of its practitioners. Robert Eringer is a longtime Montecito author with vast experience in investigative journalism. He welcomes questions or comments at reringer@gmail.com.
