My name is Howard Altman. I am researching a story about account

What can you tell me about Buzyukov and his scheme?
Do you know the names of any of the companies that fell victim?
Who was he working with and is the identity of the people in
Russia, Turkey and Ukraine who received the funds known?
Who would be most likely to use this type of a scheme to launder
money? Criminal gangs? Individuals? DTOs? VTOs? State actors?
Why?
What is the main initial source of these funds?
How prevalent are these account takeovers for money laundering
purposes?
What are the red flags that CFOs should know?
What should CFOs know about these schemes, what steps should
they take to avoid them and what steps should they take once one
is discovered? An email response by COB Thursday, 9/24, is
