The accounts were flagged to law enforcement because they did not include sufficient know-your-customer information.
According to documents unsealed in federal court on Monday, the U.S. Secret Service executed multiple seizures of funds from U.S. bank accounts controlled by Deltec last month, citing probable cause for wire fraud, bank fraud, or money laundering.
The Secret Service was authorized to seize up to $58.5 million, and the seizures took place on June 13 and June 15, according to the affidavit. The accounts that were subject to the seizure warrants were custodial accounts with another bank, Mitsubushi Bank UFJ Trust in New York, but opened by Deltec on behalf of corporate clients.
Mitsubushi Bank flagged the accounts Deltec kept with them on behalf of those shell companies, Axis DigitalLimited and GTAL, after they could not obtain information on the companies from Deltec.
