12JUL22- "The PipMaster case: the influencer who built an investment pyramid. At just 30 years old, Cris Jumbo, an 'ontological coach' and author of self-help books, moved millions through a network of companies in Ecuador and the United States. Cristhian Bladimir Jumbo Angulo, the founder of PipMaster, was born in El Carmen, Manabí Province, in 1992.

He studied primary and secondary school in the city of Santo Domingo where he also went to university. When he was still just another university student, he began to build his public character: Cris Jumbo, and began to take his first "business" steps. In a small cafeteria in the center of Santo Domingo, he met his first clients. He offered to receive their money and invest it in national and international stock markets.

To attract clients, Cris Jumbo promised them high monthly interest payments. Thus PipMaster was born. Four years later, this company already had offices in exclusive buildings in Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, Orellana and Machala.

On July 12, Jumbo was arrested along with five other people during a mega operation. The Prosecutor's Office and the police carried out 36 raids in six provinces as part of the operation to dismantle this alleged network of illegal money raising and money laundering.

The Superintendency of Companies issued the first alert on PipMaster in November 2021. The Superintendency clarified to the public that PipMaster did not have authorization to carry out operations of brokerage houses or be an administrator of funds and trusts." - (Big Pimpin indicted on 45 charges)

01JUL25 - SOUTHCOM’s TMPI: Towards Integrated Deterrence in the Americas by Building Maintenance Capacity- #ECUADOR - "Analyzing Ecuador’s foreign policy trajectory over the past two decades is pertinent to illuminating the region’s evolving political and security landscape. During President Rafael Correa’s administration between 2007 and 2017, Ecuador pivoted by severing its military relations with the US.

This comprehensive shift included ordering the closure of the security cooperation office in the US Embassy and honoring but not renewing the lease term for the Manta Air Base, causing the withdrawal of approximately 300 US military personnel stationed there.

However, this period of strained relations was followed by the re-establishment of the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) in 2018, signaling a potential shift that ultimately materialized with new military cooperation agreements signed with the US in 2023 under President Lasso and ratified in 2024 by President Daniel Noboa. ...

25JUN25 "Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa announced this Thursday the capture of Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias "Fito ," considered the leader of the Los Choneros organized crime group.

"For those who opposed and doubted the need for the Solidarity and Intelligence laws : thanks to those laws, Fito was captured today and is in the hands of the Security Bloc," the president posted on the social network X.

"We have done our part to proceed with Fito's extradition to the United States , and we await your response. Have a good afternoon, Ecuador," Noboa added.

The criminal leader had been on the run for over a year and a half , after escaping from the Guayaquil Regional Prison and hiding his tracks while the country was engulfed in a spiral of violence, culminating in the brief takeover of a television station.

'Fito,' who was serving a 34-year sentence for organized crime, drug trafficking, and murder , escaped on January 7, 2024, as he was about to be transferred to La Roca, a ...
