Oct 23rd, 2009 Written By Ami

Attention: If you have reached this site, it’s because you have googled my name
Ami Shafrir. All search results that are the subject of lawsuits are part of me
being victimized by white-collar crime which caused 130 lawsuits and 15
bankruptcies (which you can read more about it on my website BigCrime.com) The
convicted criminals who destroyed my estate, in their efforts to destroy me
throw a lot of dirt on the Internet about my past, and continued to publish
defamatory stories and fake lawsuits claiming horrible falsities that never ever
happened. The fact of the matter is that due to my efforts 3 criminals went to
jail and I prevailed and came out completely vindicated, however I lost my whole
empire that have created and had to start all over again.

I am a serious businessman that has a track record of success, record of
creating innovation and predicting the future of technology advancement. I
started as a little kid 10 years old, building electronics gadgets and by the
age of 15 I was already manufacturing my own mass-produced electronics products.
After serving 4 years in the Israeli military specializing in
telecommunications, by my mid-20s I was already a master of cellular
communications and predicted where the world is going to go wireless.

In 1996 I predicted the whole world will go on the Internet, including all
financial transactions and institutes. At the same year I also predicted that my
newly created payment platform will become the new Internet currency, in essence
predicting the crypto currency 13 years ahead of its time. My predictions were
all proven to become a reality and the living proof is that today we are living
in a world of cellular devices that are ruling everything we do and electronics
is ruling any possible section of our livelihood.


ABOUT AMI SHAFRIR

Ami Shafrir is an Internet entrepreneur that started his Internet involvement in
1994 with his company WorldSite networks Inc.

Back in 1994-2000 Ami Shafrir owned a 50,000 ft.² building in 8670 Wilshire
Boulevard, Beverly Hills, which back in the 90’s was the first building in the
area that had high-speed fiber connection to the Internet. In 1994 Ami started
in his building WorldSite that was providing Internet hosting, Internet payment
processing and website programming. WorldSite was hosting the websites for all
major Hollywood studios including Paramount, Warner Bros., of the most
high-profile Hollywood movies at the time such as Independence Day.

WorldSite also had a subsidiary called ComBill which was processing payments on
the Internet and was known in the circle of Internet operators at the time as
the first one in the history of Internet to process real-time credit card
transaction on the internet. Ami through his company WorldSite was working with
banks and the city of Los Angeles providing them online payment systems.

ComBill was Worldwide network division providing billing services for companies
on the Internet and On-line financial transaction services, namely, providing
credit and debit information and collection services as well as payment fraud
detection and electronic funds transfers via computer networks for global
computer information and on-line customers

Through his Internet billing platform ComBill Ami’s vision was ahead of its
time. Ami Shafrir was pitching banks explaining to them that Internet banking
and billing is the future and in the future will be very few physical bank
branches and bank tellers. Many bankers laughed at Ami Shafrir for his extreme
predictions, but we all know what is reality today for e-commerce and banking on
the Internet. Today the billing industry worth multi trillion dollars industry,
Ami Shafrir as a pioneer back in 1996 predicted the Internet currencies such as
bitcoin and block chain tokens, that is more than 10 years before bitcoin was
invented. See the pictures brochure of ComBill at the bottom to reflect this.

Ami also owned 75% of another billing company in Birmingham Alabama named
Federal Trance Tel (FTT). FTT was a major B2B long-distance provider for
business applications including pay-per-call 900 numbers and toll-free numbers.
FTT had billing agreements with all US long-distance carriers and was providing
billing services tens 10’s millions dollars per month.

FTT had Internet billing platform named UniversalBill existed there before
PayPal, providing array of services similar to PayPal in the 90’s, however
WorldSite.com, ComBill.com & FTT  companies were destroyed using any possible
white-collar crime including forgery of Ami’s signatures 25 times by the
convicted brothers Daniel and Abner Nicherie who destroyed the estate of Ami
Shafrir who was in the middle of divorce proceeding during 2000-2001.

Former conglomerate valued at $40 million but was poised to become an
multibillion-dollar enterprise, all turned to rebel and destroyed by the crimes
committed by the Nicherie brothers. Ami Shafrir was working in cooperation with
the FBI, criminal division of the IRS, criminal Department of US Department of
Labor and Los Angeles US Attorney office to bring these criminals to justice,
but at the end once Daniel and Abner Nicherie were arrested there was nothing
left of the multimillion-dollar are you done with church? What are you doing
now? Enterprise.

During 2000-2004 due to the crimes committed by Nicherie brothers, unfortunately
Ami Shafrir was dragged into barrage of litigation and was consumed directly or
indirectly with 130 lawsuits and 15 bankruptcies caused by the Nicherie brothers
criminal activity as featured in BigCrime.com. In all these lawsuits connected
to his name Ami eventually prevailed, and having his hands over $10 million
judgments against Daniel Nicherie criminal enterprise still uncollected.

ANTHONY PELLICANO WIRE TAPPING AMI SHAFRIR

Dec 5th, 2021 Written By Ami



Link to the full article https://roughdiplomacy.com/anthony-pellicano/

It was this incident, it turns out—and not the fish on Anita Busch’s Audi, as
previous reports suggest—which first brought Pellicano’s secret world to the
F.B.I.’s attention as part of the Nicherie brother’s saga with the Shafrir
family.

According to a lawsuit, the saga is complex, including  allegations: Daniel and
Abner Nicherie were Israeli con men, who targeted fellow Israeli, Ami
Shafrir, owner of several Beverly Hills office buildings.

Posing as legitimate businessmen, they succeeded not only in swindling Shafrir
out of around $40 million—but also in persuading his wife, Sarit, to work
alongside them, convincing her  Ami was a criminal.

When Ami sued, the Nicheries responded with a barrage of legal artillery,
eventually hiring 40 separate Los Angeles attorneys to countersue.

After a referral from one of these lawyers, Victor Sherman, they allegedly paid
Pellicano $50,000 to wiretap Ami.

Pellicano told the Nicheries he could use customized electronics to cause
interference on Ami’s cell phone, which would force him to use the wiretapped
landline more often.

Anthony Pellicano and Howard Weitzman

The Nicheries understood Ami was being bugged, although Pellicano initially
refused to let them listen in.

But the Nicheries were eventually given access to the recordings because Ami
sometimes spoke in Hebrew, and Pellicano couldn’t understand him.

He made the two brothers swear that what they heard would remain confidential.

On several occasions they arrived at Pellicano’s office after hours, allowing
themselves to be frisked and turning over their cellular phones.

Unbeknownst to Pellicano, however, Daniel Nicherie had secreted a tiny cell
phone in his sock, which he used to allow Ami’s wife, Sarit, to listen in on the
wiretap recordings.

Sarit Shafrir, heard dozens of Ami’s conversations this way; sometimes the
Nicheries would call from Pellicano’s office and play back a tape, other times
they would leave a recording of the wiretap on her answering machine.

In time, the Nicheries and Pellicano began speaking of ways to put Ami in jail
by framing him; one involved planting cocaine in the trunk of his car and having
a Beverly Hills policeman on Pellicano’s payroll pull him over.

It was then, Sarit’s  began having second thoughts about the Nicheries.

PERSISTENCE BRINGS VINDICATION

Oct 24th, 2009 Written By Ami


BUSINESSMAN CLAIMED FOR YEARS THAT HE WAS THE VICTIM OF A SCAM – AND OF WIRETAPS
BY A FAMED PRIVATE EYE.

Link to the original Los Angeles Times article

By Paul Lieberman and Seema Mehta

Times Staff Writers

March 9, 2004

LAS VEGAS – Until last week, Ami Shafrir had spent four frustrating years
telling anyone who would listen a seemingly incredible tale of being conned out
of tens of millions of dollars worth of businesses, property and cash, and of
being wiretapped in the process by private detective Anthony Pellicano.

Shafrir, an Israeli-born telecommunications whiz who came to the United States
15 years ago “looking for my destiny” and wound up rich in Beverly Hills, told
his story in impassioned speeches during court proceedings and on a website he
called BigCrime.com.

He invited a Los Angeles television crew to follow him as he tried to break into
his own office building – only to be stopped by a security guard at gunpoint –
and pleaded with law enforcement officials to do something about the people who
had “robbed me of everything I had, including my identity, livelihood, dignity.”

Shafrir’s story was that while he was going through a divorce, two brothers –
fellow Israelis – had befriended his wife, Sarit, and offered to help her
through the contentious split-up; that the brothers turned out to be Daniel and
Abner Nicherie, both of whom had criminal records; and that by the time he and
his now ex-wife found out who they were, it was too late.

In lawsuits filed first in Los Angeles Superior Court, then federal court,
Shafrir alleged that the Nicherie brothers had used forgery and other schemes to
loot his family’s assets, including office buildings on Sunset and Wilshire
boulevards and a company that connected callers to Internet chat rooms.

The brothers also tried to frame him for credit card fraud and for molesting his
own child, Shafrir alleged, and paid $154,000 to Pellicano, Shafrir said, to tap
his phone and learn how he was trying to protect himself against them.

But the worst part, Shafrir said, was how the older of the brothers, Daniel
Nicherie, spent millions of dollars of the looted money to hire teams of lawyers
to file lawsuit after lawsuit against him, so many that he was forced into
bankruptcy while he went from court to court, praying that some judge would
believe the wild conspiracy theory he spouted.

“I keep on waking every morning to a new day of nothingness, continuing to
battle the terror,” he lamented last November, in a letter to the U.S. Labor
Department.

Shafrir often feared that no one believed him. In fact, three federal agencies,
the FBI, IRS and Labor Department, had opened investigations. And on Thursday,
when Shafrir flew here from Los Angeles for a meeting with the elder Nicherie
brother, federal agents moved in to arrest Daniel Nicherie on seven counts of
wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud and pension fraud.

On Friday, a 49-page arrest warrant affidavit was unsealed describing Daniel
Nicherie, 44, as a man with 11 aliases and a trail of victims stretching across
the country and spanning more than a decade. He faces a hearing today in Los
Angeles on whether he should remain in custody in the criminal case that could
shed light both on high-stake confidence games and the private detective work of
Pellicano, who is currently in prison on explosives charges.

In addition to the Shafrirs, Nicherie allegedly duped a Los Angeles physician
and his father out of $275,000 by telling them they would be joining other
wealthy investors, including a prominent Israeli entertainer, in a venture
selling “close out” merchandise over the Internet. In fact, the celebrity was
not an investor and the money was used for Nicherie’s entertainment and
“personal expenses,” such as airfare and meals, the government said.

As for Ami Shafrir, the government affidavit estimates that he and his ex-wife
had, indeed, been “defrauded out of at least $40 million.” Daniel Nicherie used
his take, the document says, on everything from his father’s memorial service to
a residence in San Diego to the hiring of Pellicano.

The government also echoes Shafrir’s years of complaints that a cadre of civil
lawyers had exploited the court system “to help promote” the fraudulent schemes.

Nicherie used the Shafrirs’ own money to fund “approximately 106 lawsuits and 10
bankruptcy filings” to separate them from their wealth, the government alleges.
According to the affidavit, the accused con man reasoned that “the legal system
was not equipped to deal with attorneys who lie.”

“Finally,” Ami Shafrir said after Nicherie’s arrest, “the world believed me.”

Shafrir got his start in electronics, owning a sales and repair business in
Israel. He met Sarit when she came in as a customer. They married in 1988 and
the next year moved to the United States, convinced it was the only place for a
man of Ami’s ideas and drive. The Shafrirs created several companies to service
the trades that had figured out how to profit off the Internet, from psychic
hotlines to racy chat rooms. One firm provided the phone lines and another
billing services for vendors.

Within a few years, they were living with their two children in the Mount
Olympus enclave, above the Sunset Strip, and were able to buy the small office
building in which they rented space and a 50,000-square-foot building on
Wilshire owned by producer Dino De Laurentis.

Their businesses were more successful than their marriage, however, especially
after Ami began spending time in Europe, expanding their holdings. Suspicious of
his conduct on the road and feeling neglected at home, Sarit filed for divorce
in August 1998. They still were negotiating the terms of their split the next
year when she met the Nicheries.

In a court declaration, Sarit Shafrir said the brothers gave their names as
“Nishrie,” which is why she did not immediately find their criminal backgrounds:
Daniel Nicherie had received a one-year sentence in a Texas case for defrauding
the University Savings Assn. of $1.2 million in loans. His brother, Abner, had
pleaded guilty in 1999 to one federal conspiracy count in a scheme to defraud
pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Sarit said the brothers presented themselves as “wealthy businessmen able to
provide legal and consulting services,” and offered to help make sure her
husband did not cheat her in their divorce. One way they alienated her from him,
she said, was by hiring Pellicano, three years before the private investigator’s
purported wiretapping would make front-page headlines. Sarit last year was one
of the witnesses called before a federal grand jury investigating the detective
and lawyers who may have benefited from such eavesdropping on Hollywood
celebrities and other Southern Californians.

Associates have said that Pellicano was cautious and secretive and never let
clients listen to his recordings. But court records suggest that he may have
departed from his rule in this case. Because Ami Shafrir often spoke in Hebrew,
his ex-wife said, the detective let the Nicheries, who also spoke the language,
come to his office to hear the tapes. They, in turn, sometimes called her on a
cellphone and let her listen to excerpts, she said.

“I heard [Ami] talking to his mother about me and the children,” she recalled.
“I really wanted to bury this man.”

Sarit later alleged in court papers that the brothers had instructed her to
transfer her home to a Nevada corporation and her savings to accounts they
specified to keep such assets out of reach of her husband.

By the summer of 2001, she had second thoughts about the Nicheries and declared,
during a Los Angeles court appearance, that they were pulling a “big scam.”
Sarit said she had helped them by signing her ex-husband’s nameto documents that
put their Internet company under Daniel Nicherie’s
control.

“They showed me how to lie,” she told a judge that Aug. 28. “They showed me how
to forge. They showed me how to do the most horrible things.”

She eventually helped her ex-husband in his own racketeering suit against the
Nicheries. The suit alleged that the brothers had driven him into bankruptcy,
tried to send him to prison by getting a man to claim that Ami had helped him in
a credit card fraud, and had even encouraged his daughter to say he had molested
her. Last year, Shafrir’s suit was settled, on paper at least, when the
Nicheries agreed to pay him $4 million, though Shafrir acknowledged that, like
others who had sued them before, he might have a hard time collecting.

The major fraud section of the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles said the
arrest will not end an “ongoing” investigation. Assistant U.S. Atty. Steven
Olson said the findings of the three agencies will be presented to a federal
grand jury and that additional charges – and defendants – could be included in
an indictment.

Olson described Daniel Nicherie as “an economic predator” and said he had been
arrested now in part because he was in the country. Although Nicherie lists his
residence as Las Vegas, he also has a home in Belgium.

In Las Vegas on Friday, one of Nicherie’s criminal lawyers, David Chesnoff,
asked a federal magistrate to let the defendant stay free and be with his five
children, one of whom suffers from Crohn’s disease. But after hours of legal
wrangling, and more on Monday, Nicherie remained in custody pending today’s
hearing.

Nicherie’s lawyers said they could not comment on the charges until they hadread
through the government’s filing. “It’s easy to make allegations,” said Los
Angeles defense attorney Stanley Greenberg, “harder to prove them.”

Ami Shafrir, meanwhile, said he planned to see them all in court today. “I
wouldn’t miss it,” he said.

ELABORATE FRAUD SCHEME LEADS TO ARREST IN LAS VEGAS

Oct 24th, 2009 Written By Ami


FBI PRESS RELEASE MARCH 5, 2004

A former Los Angeles resident who posed as an attorney and investment banker,
gained the trust of small business owners and investors, and then looted their
companies and misappropriated their investments was arrested yesterday afternoon
in Las Vegas, United States Attorney Debra W. Yang announced today.

Daniel Nicherie, 44, of Brussels, Belgium, was arrested pursuant to a criminal
complaint by special agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
IRS-Criminal Investigation. The complaint, which was filed on Wednesday and
unsealed today, charges Nicherie with four counts of wire fraud, two counts of
bankruptcy fraud and one count of pension fraud.

Nicherie allegedly defrauded a Los Angeles couple out of approximately $40
million in cash, real property and businesses. Nicherie told the victims, Ami
and Sarit Shafrir, that he could assist them with their business interests.
Nicherie then took control of the Shafrirs’ companies, drained the companies’
assets and then put the companies into bankruptcy. Nicherie is also accused of
seizing Sarit Shafrir’s personal assets through a similarly elaborate scheme.
Nicherie then took a series of steps, including the filing of more than 100
lawsuits, to prevent the Shafrirs from recovering their assets.

Nicherie is also charged with defrauding Ezra and Gil Mileikowsky of Los Angeles
out of $275,000 in cash. Nicherie made a series of misrepresentations that
caused the Mileikowskys to invest in a purported business which allegedly sold
excess inventory over the Internet, as well as a purported venture capital fund.
Nicherie lured the Mileikowskys by falsely stating that they could expect a high
rate of return on their investments and that prominent individuals, including
Haim Saban, a television and film producer, and Shuki Levy, an Israeli
entertainment figure, had invested with Nicherie.

A criminal complaint contains allegations that a defendant has committed a
crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt.

If convicted of the charges set forth in the complaint, Nicherie faces a maximum
penalty of 35 years in federal prison.

Nicherie is expected to make his initial court appearance at 3:00 this afternoon
in United States District Court in Las Vegas.

This case was investigated by the Department of Labor, IRS-Criminal
Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
