Burhan Mirza Mafia Don, Scams & Drug Trafficking. Sumera Sohail PEP. Coach360, Sky Soft, ProByte, ProTech (Part I)

Powerful mafia boss you’ve never heard about. He operates in the open, posing as a successful IT entrepreneur while running a U.S.-based money-laundering network and many scam software companies (locally known as software houses) in Pakistan. 

We examine the audacious fraud schemes that have siphoned tens of millions of dollars from Americans—and how he uses bribes, violence, paid media mentions and threats to stay above the law in Karachi. While keeping the dollars flooding from America to Pakistan. 

Update: Burhan Mirza and his wife Sumera Sohail have moved their family to the United Kingdom. He has publicly told people this is temporary to settle his daughter into a school but this is believed to be a lie.

Muhammad Burhan Mirza presents himself as Pakistan’s answer to Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates-a young tech entrepreneur building the future from Karachi. But extensive government records and investigations reveal a different story: Burhan Mirza runs a transnational criminal organization that has stolen tens of millions of dollars from American victims as well as victims across the world while strong allegations of drug trafficking swirl around his companies.

I was told specifically by high level investigators to NOT publish this information till now.

Background and Early Career

Muhammad Burhan Mirza (who uses the name Burhan Mirza), son of Tanveer Mirza, began his criminal career in 2006 at Axact, the notorious Pakistani fraud enterprise later exposed by The New York Times in 2015 for selling fake academic degrees online and blackmailing clients while posing as government agencies. He remained with the company until 2009, during which time Axact—founded by Shoaib Ahmed Shaikh and Viqas Atiq—grew into one of the world’s largest diploma mills and blackmail operations.

At its peak, Axact was generating at least $89 million in a single year by selling fraudulent degrees to more than 215,000 people across 197 countries and then turning around and blackmailing them. Axact did not just sell fake degrees it also had other departments that worked on blackmail and lies. In his final year at Axact, Mirza personally brought in over $200,000 per month through logo design scams, deceiving clients by claiming they would lose their logos and face lawsuits unless they continued to pay ever-increasing sums to Axact.

Burhan Mirza left Axact in 2009 and set out to build his own large-scale scamming operation. While at Axact, he specialized in logo design sales, a highly profitable scheme driven by blackmail disguised as trademark-related upsells. It was during this period that he mastered the sophisticated fraud techniques that later became the foundation of his independent criminal enterprise.

• Creating thousands of fake websites
• Using high-pressure sales tactics and “upselling”
• Impersonating government officials
• Systematic blackmail and extortion of victims (to the point several have contemplated and committed suicide)
• Drug trafficking allegations through b2b websites such as TradeKey[.]com and ExportHub[.]com
• Medical billing fraud targeting US Government and Large US Healthcare Providers (through companies such as RCM Matter formerly Digitonics Care)

Years before Pakistani authorities raided Axact’s offices in 2015 following The New York Times exposé, Burhan Mirza had already distanced himself from the company, scrubbing any mention of his employment there from his social media. While dozens of senior Axact executives were arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison for fraud, many other employees have faced lasting consequences, including being barred from obtaining visas to the United Kingdom and the United States due to their criminal records and association with the company. Burhan Mirza however continues to travel internationally visiting places like Italy and the UK, opening bank accounts and setting up companies and squirreling away assets far away from Pakistan.

Partnership with Junaid Mansoor

After leaving Axact, Burhan Mirza joined TradeKey[.]com, an Alibaba clone founded by Junaid Mansoor—who was deeply embedded in Pakistan’s criminal ecosystem—and Waleed Abalkhail, whom Mansoor has cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mirza believed TradeKey would be his ticket to riches, but the company soon found itself facing lawsuits from major corporations whose brands were being exploited on the platform. What followed were grueling years marked by TradeKey’s servers being seized and mounting evidence of extensive criminal activity.

In 2018 TradeKey and Burhan Mirza’s troubles only deepened as TradeKey became entangled in a U.S. drug trafficking case linked to fentanyl shipments from China, while also suffering from rampant mismanagement by Junaid Mansoor, his brothers—including Qasim Mansoor—and Mirza himself. Owing to salary delays employees stopped coming into work and the company essentially stopped functioning. At the edge of collapse, Mirza co-founded Digitonics Labs with Junaid Mansoor. Though presented as a legitimate IT services provider, the company was built from the ground up as a vehicle for internet fraud, money laundering, blackmail, and theft.

Burhan Mirza went back to what he knew best, scam logo design services with trademark upselling. This generated millions of dollars for Digitonics Labs. As the company grew it would launch new products and services to defraud global victims at a furious pace. The company entered a rapid growth phase generating over USD $2.4 million a month in revenue. There are allegations that in early 2020, 3 employees of Burhan Mirza were in a company car, the driver who was a high dollar front sales upseller crashed the car and the woman died. The car was company owned and Burah Mirza stepped in and made the case go away by paying bribes.

Burhan Mirza Goes To Prison, 2021 Raids

In 2020-2021, Burhan Mirza’s operations came under unprecedented international and domestic scrutiny. In 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) formally accused scam software houses in Karachi of engaging “an egregious scheme to deceive and defraud applicants for federal trademark registrations.” In Jan 2021, Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) charged him and nearly four dozen associates with what it described as the largest money laundering case in the country’s history.

The USPTO’s report triggered renewed attention on Karachi scam software houses, sensing an opportunity, Shoaib Ahmed Shaikh, the head of Axact, to reach out to Mirza as well as other former Axact operatives who had gone on to build their own lucrative criminal ventures. Among those contacted were Salman Yousuf, Schergeil Parvez, Naveed Saghir, Vinky Bashir and Saad Iqbal. Yousuf, struggling with severe spine issues, agreed to rejoin Axact under a consulting arrangement brokered through TCurve, an Axact front company.

As American pressure on the Pakistani government intensified, Shoaib Ahmed Shaikh’s influence over the FIA would not save anyone, and raids on Mirza and his associates began. Both Burhan Mirza and Schergeil Parvez were targeted, and Salman Yousuf was also swept up in the crackdown. Shoaib Ahmed Shaikh at this time used his TV Channel Bol News to specifically name employees and used it to threaten people into rejoining Axact. At this time Salman Yousuf working for Azneem Bilwani flew many of the Abtach-Intersys sales teams to Maldives and then to Turkey to keep the money coming in. Burhan Mirza officially spent seven months in custody, but the reality was different. His employees endured harsh prison conditions for months, while Mirza secured special treatment by claiming to suffer from a heart valve defect. Instead of a cell, he was housed in a private hospital suite with air conditioning, with homemade meals delivered daily.

Before the raids began, Junaid Mansoor—the criminal mastermind behind much of the operation-was tipped off through his political contacts in Islamabad and Junaid Mansoor with his family fled to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan, the same remote regions where the terrorist Osama Bin Laden had at times taken refuge. Once U.S. pressure on Pakistan subsided and the wave of factional score-settling within the scam software house criminal ecosystem eased, Digitonics Labs quickly resumed operations. Junaid Mansoor and Burhan Mirza offered large bribes to FIA officials. This also involved Burhan Mirza’s brother in law Maj Gen Adil Rehmani who has taken corrupt payments and helped Burhan Mirza on numerous occasions. Digitonics Labs started generating enormous profits again, reaching $4 million in monthly revenues (high watermark), giving Burhan Mirza the means to pay a bribe rumored to be around 19 crore Pakistani rupees, or more than USD $600,000. The figure is similar to the amount Azneem Bilwani, the founder of Abtach-Intersys and another major figure in Pakistan’s scam and narcotics networks, is known to have paid to FIA officials to escape prosecution during the same period. With this bribe, Mirza secured bail and immediately began to expand his criminal empire at a dramatic pace. After the raids the power balance between Burhan Mirza and Junaid Mansoor shifted dramatically, before Burhan Mirza was the subordinate taking orders from Junaid Mansoor, but after the raids Burhan Mirza became top-dog within Digitonics Labs.

During this resurgence, the most profitable activities at Digitonics Labs included copyright and trademark scams, logo design scams—often tied to trademark fraud as a lucrative upsell—and “RSP” services, or research paper writing, which catered to clients willing to pay large sums for academic work which was followed by blackmail, web design, e-commerce and other blackmail, impersonation and extortion based schemes.

Burhan Mirza eventually decided to splinter the Digitonics Labs empire into a cluster of entities with different names, which was a plan he’d been working on even before the raids. Each company was fronted by a fake CEO, carefully positioned to take the fall and serve prison time in Mirza’s place if a crackdown were to take place. Behind the scenes, the companies relied on Mirza’s network of merchants in Texas, New Jersey, and other U.S. states to process fraudulent payments scammed from American victims. This structure allowed Mirza to maintain absolute control over his sprawling web of fraudulent software houses. Because all financial flows were funneled through his merchants, he could cut off the cash at will. The only real vulnerability came from within: employees occasionally diverted victim payments into their own merchant accounts, a risk Mirza was always wary of—and one that, as later events revealed, did in fact materialize.

When questioned by reporters about Digitonics Labs, both Burhan Mirza and his partner Junaid Mansoor insist that Digitinics Labs has been shut down. In reality, this claim is an easy to disprove lie. Rather than shutting down Digitonics Labs, a company that was generating in excess of $4 million dollars a month (at its peak), Mirza and Mansoor restructured it into a sprawling network of software houses, each branded as a distinct enterprise with its own fake CEO but all funneling payments through the same merchants controlled by the two men. Another lie that Burhan Mirza and Junaid Mansoor routinely repeat is that the case against them has been withdrawn for lack of evidence, this is simply not true and if it were true they’d present the court documents. The fact that Mirza and Mansoor continue to hide all court documents having to do with the case indicates that the case has simply been stalled by paying huge bribes to Pakistan’s corrupt judiciary and law enforcement.

Firms such as ProByte, ProTech, Techrix, Sky Soft Tech, and Technado present themselves as independent businesses, yet all of them are owned and directed by Mirza, operating under his unified system of fraud. And unified production teams.

Burhan Mirza publicly portrays himself as nothing more than an “angel investor” in these companies, but those familiar with him know this is far from the truth. His reputation is defined by two traits: overbearing narcissism and an obsessive need to micromanage others. Far from remaining a passive investor, Mirza involves himself in the smallest operational details of his criminal software houses. On multiple occasions, he has even personally joined phone calls with clients—not only to showcase his sales prowess but also to demonstrate that he can out-scam anyone on his team.

Burhan Mirza’s current right-hand man is Moiz Sattar who has a slavish devotion to Burhan Mirza, but Mirza’s pattern of behavior makes such alliances short-lived. No matter how capable someone may be in helping manage his criminal empire, his narcissism and ego inevitably come to the surface. Time and again, he has turned on his closest associates—undermining them through office politics, withholding payments, and ultimately driving them out. For Mirza, loyalty is expendable, and even his most trusted lieutenants eventually become targets of his manipulation and abuse. Such as Burhan Mirza’s treatment of Muneeb Ali Khan who spent months in prison for Burhan Mirza only to be discarded later on over fights over money.

Using Quran To Launder Money, Scam Merchants and Banks

Burhan Mirza and Junaid Mansoor have exploited the Quran as a front for laundering money and shielding their large-scale criminal operations from scrutiny. They set up websites such as recitequranonline[.]com and quranmasteronline[.]com, nominally registered under the name of Junaid Mansoor’s brother, Qasim Mansoor. On paper, these sites appear to be legitimate platforms for Quranic teaching, but in practice they serve a different purpose: providing a cover story for suspicious financial transactions. When banks or payment processors question why an American client has transferred as much as $200,000 to one of Mirza’s companies, the explanation offered is that the money represents subscription fees for online Quran lessons. This strategy allows Mirza to mask the origins of fraudulent payments, laundering illicit proceeds under the guise of religious education. The funds are then funneled through these Quran businesses to justify large international wire transfers to destinations such as the UAE, China, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Karachi, the UK, and Sweden. Through this scheme, Mirza and Mansoor have defrauded payment companies like Stripe and PayPal, as well as major banks including USAA and JPMorgan Chase-all while cynically using religion as a shield for their crimes. These websites are also being funded through proceeds of crime.

Fake FIA Charges

After serving time in prison for crimes he had committed, Burhan Mirza came to understand how powerful a weapon locking someone in prison could be when used as a threat. Rather than treating his sentence as a cautionary lesson, he turned it into a strategy—co-opting Pakistan’s notoriously corrupt Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) as an extension of his control.

Several former employees have revealed that Mirza has filed false charges against them, manipulating FIA officers to carry out brutal campaigns of intimidation. Victims describe being kidnapped, beaten, and even having their female family members threatened with rape in order to force their obedience to Burhan Mirza’s wishes. In one chilling case, Mirza allegedly had an employee abducted so his phone could be stolen and used to impersonate the employee on WhatsApp, allowing Mirza to deceive yet another colleague into revealing sensitive information.

Far from being the so-called “Mark Zuckerberg of Pakistan,” as some media puff pieces (paid for by Burhan Mirza) claim, Burhan Mirza operates as a mafia don in Karachi—more comparable to Dawood Ibrahim than to any legitimate IT wunderkind.

Online Reputation Management

Burhan Mirza has gone to great lengths to buy positive coverage from the corrupt Pakistani media, where he is presented as a commentator on issues such as the national financial budget—despite having no qualifications or expertise to speak on such matters. In reality, he is a scammer and accused drug trafficker, and his media appearances serve one purpose: to drown out the factual record of his criminal activity, which includes fraud, arrests, paying bribes to Pakistani law enforcement and prison time.

According to insiders, Mirza is obsessively concerned with how he appears online. He reportedly asks ChatGPT about himself multiple times a day and has resorted to large language model poisoning techniques, seeding the internet with glowing articles designed to trick AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude into generating positive portrayals of him. The result is a carefully manufactured facade of legitimacy that masks the truth: Burhan Mirza is not a respected entrepreneur but a mafia don operating out of Karachi. Mirza’s trusted employee Aden Batool plays a key role in managing his paid press mentions.

Positive press coverage Burhan Mirza has paid for includes:

Angel Investor Lie

Burhan Mirza functionally controls over 30 scam software houses in Karachi Pakistan. Some of the largest scam software houses Burhan Mirza owns and runs includes:

• The Techrics: Zain Rehan Siddiqui, Sabih Khan, Mir Asad, Amir Bin Qasim, Saif bin Qasim.
• Awsomate (Pvt) Ltd: Ilhan Pervaiz Khan on behalf of Burhan Mirza.
• ProTech (Pvt) Ltd: Abdul Rehman Chhotani, Waleed Yousaf, Rehan Siddiqui, Anas Chhotani, Zaid Atique.
• ProByte (Pvt) Ltd: Kashif Hussain Shah, Azeem Ahmed.
• Sky Soft Tech (Pvt) Ltd: Moiz Abdus Sattar, Shahmir Ahmed, Niaz Ahmed, Haseeb Ahmed.
• Technado (Pvt) Ltd: Irfan Iqbal,Junaid Mansoor, Shafat Ayub, Jameel Qazi, Showzeb Jaffri, not only does this company engage in extensive online fraud but Irfan Iqbal and Burhan Mirza have spearheaded the trafficking of illicit narcotics to America through Technado brands such as TradeKey and ExportHub and they are under investigation by the US FBI, DEA, HSI and DOJ.

Make no mistake about this: none of these software houses are independent. They are all part of the “Digi” group of companies and are directly under the control of Burhan Mirza, they share the same production departments and use Slack for internal communications (in most but not all cases). But then why has Mirza gone to the trouble of setting up all these fake companies and fake CEO’s? It is because Burhan Mirza wants to avoid being raided and he wants to avoid going to prison. Burhan Mirza has also set up fences, barriers and other strong physical security measures to stop FIA from being able to easily breach these buildings.

eBook Scam; Burhan Pimps Male Prostitutes?

In addition to the large software houses he secretly controls, Burhan Mirza has struck deals with people such as Bareera Tariq, Ahmed Omer Tariq and Batha Tariq owners of the scam software house PestleTech. Under these arrangements, he invests in their companies and, in return, requires them to process scam payments through his merchant accounts-ensuring that the money ultimately flows back to him.

One interesting case PestleTech scammed Elisabeth Wetke Hallgren, a 66-year-old woman from Denmark, out of more than $100,000. The stolen funds went to Burhan Mirza and his long-time partner in crime, Junaid Mansoor through Qasim Manoor (Junaid Mansoor’s brother). Elisabeth initially sought help publishing a book about her life, inspired by the tragic loss of her son at a young age. When she searched Google for “book publishing company,” she was shown an ad for AmazonPublishingAgency[.]com, a fake website designed to look like it was the real Amazon. Believing it was genuine, she submitted her details and was quickly contacted by PestleTech employees. Her credit card was then charged by U.S. entities operating under “doing business as” names of AppMization and Webtonics, both being DBA’s of DIGINADO TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Texas corporation registered to Muhammad A. Hashmat and Qasim Mansoor, the brother of Junaid Mansoor. The real Amazon later seized the fraudulent domain, forcing Mirza’s network to rebrand the scam as GlobalPublishingAgency[.]com (then it was moved to lionsgatepublishingandstudios[.]com). Victims were told that companies were being “merged,” a complete lie. Throughout this process, Elisabeth was subjected to a deeply manipulative scheme: three PestleTech salesmen—led by Zaeem Ul Haq Zia Siddiqui using the fake name Ethan Williams, with others using the fake names “Peter Wilburt” and “Ronald Grayson”- sent her sexually explicit messages, pretended to fall in love with her, and begged for expensive gifts such as iPhones. Zaeem Ul Haq Zia Siddiqui even traveled to Thailand to meet Elisabeth in person in order to extract more money, he begged and begged and Elisabeth gave him $4000 to cover the expenses of the trip to meet her in person in Thailand. Zaeem Ul Haq Zia Siddiqui travelled to Thailand with fake identification documents of his pseudonym “Ethan Williams.”

Zaeem Ul haq Zia Siddiquii Burhan Mirza-Pestletech

What began as a publishing scam devolved into sexual exploitation, with Mirza effectively tasking his salesmen to serve as male prostitutes for his financial gain. So Burhan Mirza is not just a scam mafia don but he is also a pimp.

Fake UK ID used by Zaeem Ul Haq Zia Siddiqui to fool the victim in Thailand. He flew with this fake ID across international borders.

The scam also revealed cracks in the criminal alliance between Burhan Mirza and Bareera Tariq. Tensions flared between Bareera Tariq and Burhan Mirza over how the profits were being divided from the scam. In a calculated maneuver, Bareera Tariq refunded Elisabeth $25,000 from Burhan Mirza’s merchant account only to have Zaeem Ul Haq Zia Siddiqui immediately try and re-charge her the exact same amount through a newly created company, SYNTHILOGIC SYSTEMS LLC, incorporated in Texas by Bareera’s relative, Batha Tariq. This company existed purely as a money-laundering front for Spark Byte Pvt Ltd, another software house run by Bareera Tariq, Ahmed Omer Tariq, Muhammad Abid Majeed Soleja, and Muhammad Waqas Abid.

Ahmed Omar Tariq of PestleTech in Texas

As if the ordeal were not already cruel enough, PestleTech escalated its exploitation of Elisabeth Stark Wetke Hallgren by introducing her to a so-called lawyer who promised to help her recover the money she had already lost. This “lawyer,” Shaikh Aquib Majid, operated under both his real name and the fabricated identity Daniel J. Kramer. While claiming to work for the prestigious real American law firm Buchalter.

Batha Tariq of Texas, money launderer for PestleTech

At first, Shaikh Aquib Majid presented himself as a sympathetic advocate, reassuring Elisabeth that he could navigate the legal system and recover her stolen funds. But instead of offering genuine legal counsel, he began shamelessly flirting with a woman older than his mother. He made sexual comments, drew her into deeply personal conversations, and even told her he was a virgin but added that he’d had oral sex with his girlfriend in conversations with Elisabeth.

For weeks, Elisabeth believed she had finally found someone who was not only on her side but also cared for her as a person. Shaikh Aquib Majid essentially worked to stall the refund request, telling Elisabeth that her payment was outside the refund window when it was inside the refund window. This shows how the eBook scam is evolving into romance scams and why Burhan Mirza is being aggressively investigated by US law enforcement.

PestleTech cricket match of scammers

FBI, DEA, HSI, DOJ, Burhan Mirza is facing multi-agency investigation in USA:

DIGINADO TECHNOLOGIES INC, one of the companies used by Burhan Mirza to collect payments from victims like Elisabeth, is now under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Department of Justice (DOJ). These agencies have been conducting a joint investigation into Mirza’s criminal empire for more than six months. Why has Mirza drawn the attention of so many U.S. law enforcement bodies?

The answer lies not only in the tens of millions of dollars he has stolen from American victims through scams, but also in allegations that he is trafficking synthetic opioids—particularly fentanyl analogues, substances far more powerful than heroin, a charge that first touched TradeKey in 2018. Through his U.S.-based merchants and accomplices—including Muhammad A. Hashmat, Qasim Mansoor, Bilal Hashmat, and Asad Ullah Chaudhry—Mirza has built a shadow financial network in America. This parallel payments system has operated like a private banking infrastructure, moving millions of dollars on behalf of not just Burhan Mirza’s organized crime group but also for other criminal groups operating in Pakistan, UAE and elsewhere. According to sources, U.S. authorities consider this network a significant terrorism financing risk-one of the key reasons Mirza is now being targeted by an inter-agency task force as part of Operation Take Back America. The FBI Alaska office is also investigating Burhan Mirza’s links to a large denial of service attack he launched against a website that published news about him. Even now TradeKey and ExportHub, both Burhan Mirza websites have listed for sale many illegal drugs such as fentanyl, carfentanyl and precursors of methamphetamine.

Charges against Burhan Mirza are widely expected to be filed before November 2025. Signs of the coming crackdown are already visible. In Karachi, it is common knowledge that Mirza’s merchant accounts began to be shut down in May 2025, with U.S. authorities seizing large sums of money between May and July 2025. This has led to layoffs at ProTech (Pvt) Ltd, Sky Soft Tech (Pvt) Ltd, ProByte (Pvt) Ltd and Technado (Pvt) Ltd as well as withholding of salaries.

Irfan Iqbal, Technado, TradeKey, Showzeb Jaffri

Among the network of scam software houses run by Burhan Mirza and Junaid Mansoor, Technado is particularly of interest to US law enforcement because it has played a direct role in drug trafficking. Irfan Iqbal runs Technado Pvt Ltd, ExportHub, OIP (Outsource in Pakistan), TechnoCloud Solutions, and Binate Digital.

Irfan Iqbal has profited mightily from serving as a fake CEO for Burhan Mirza, ensuring that scam proceeds are collected, laundered, and hidden. These operations are run out of Karachi offices on Shahra-e-Faisal (Suites 301, 308, and 808), where more than 100 employees work under brutal conditions, often going unpaid for months at a time.

One whistleblower revealed that he and many of his colleagues were denied six months of salary despite the companies pulling in between $55,000 and $100,000 a month in revenue through fraudulent membership fees and scams. This is not accounting for revenues generated from drug trafficking. Employees who protested were silenced with excuses that “there were no funds,” even as the companies continued to scam clients abroad. Some workers reportedly grew so desperate they considered suicide.

The whistleblower further exposed how Technado and ExportHub scammed a U.S. client out of $60,000 in a fake kratom deal. The buyer transferred funds to Tradekey’s Chinese account, expecting delivery, but the payment was pocketed by Irfan Iqbal and his close associate Shafat Ayub instead of being passed to suppliers. According to insiders, this practice—taking money from clients while never fulfilling orders—has been the standard business model of TradeKey, ExportHub, and their sister brands for years.

The scheme extends beyond Karachi. Payments are routed through a web of U.S. and Chinese bank accounts, including Diginado Technologies Inc. in Texas, tied to Muhammad A. Hashmat, as well as additional laundering fronts like Continental IT Concept LLC. Employees confirm that crypto wallets are also used to collect payments from victims in the United States, Russia, and elsewhere, particularly for bogus membership fees.

Behind the scenes, a small circle of insiders manages these criminal fund flows: Irfan Iqbal, Shafat Ayub and Jameel Qazi. Together, they handle client scams, internal revenue manipulation and wage theft. Finance is overseen by Muhammad Rashid Siddiqui, who manages money not only for Irfan but also for Burhan Mirza and Junaid Mansoor.

Burhan Mirza, Junaid Mansoor and Irfan Iqbal have held back revenue shares from Sheikh Waleed, the Saudi financier who originally funded TradeKey back in 2006. While Waleed reportedly believes the company has collapsed, Irfan continues to run it in secret with Burhan and Junaid, funneling profits while keeping the original investor in the dark.

Burhan Mirza has placed substantial assets in the name of Sumera Sohail Burhan Mirza who also uses the name Sumaira Sohail Mirza. These assets have been generated from fraud, drug trafficking and other crimes. Sumaira Sohail Mirza has undeclared assets in UAE, UK, and in Sweden. Sumera Sohail Burhan Mirza who uses the names Sumaira Sohail Mirza and Sumera Sohail is a politically exposed person (PEP) because she is the sister of Major General Adil Rehmani who is a highly placed official within Pakistan’s Special Service Group, Major General Adil Rehmani has been credibly accused of raping several minors as well as accused of accepting large bribes and shaking down businesses operating in Karachi.
