On 29th August 2025, Azneem Bilwani was handed what appears to be a victory by the US Department of Justice.

Azneem Bilwani’s lawyers at Schertler Onorato Mead & Sears LLP have performed a miracle and secured the possibility of getting his company eWorldTrade out of a drug trafficking charge in America with a deferred prosecution agreement.

That means: no trial, but a big fine (possibly as high as USD $50 million) and a requirement to provide information on other criminals in Pakistan.

Who is Azneem Bilwani?

Azneem Bilwani, the beneficial owner of Intersys (formerly known as Abtach), I believe, is a serious organized crime figure. He also owns Intermarket Securities, Intermarket Oil and many other companies.

He runs a diverse range of criminal operations from Karachi, Pakistan. I personally believe that Bilwani’s criminal empire is operated from the United States of America, UAE, UK, Pakistan and many other countries through employees like:

  • Muhammad Saad Iqbal
  • Rameez Moiz
  • Shehzad Hussain Moosani
  • Siraj Dosani
  • Abdul Aziz Seema
  • Asbabanu Sema
  • and others.

From Axact to Abtach

Bilwani’s big idea came when Axact (another notorious scam operating in Karachi) was exposed by The New York Times in 2015.

He realised just how much money there was in building a “world leading IT Company” and hired top Axact officials such as Saad Iqbal and Salman Yousuf to replicate the Axact business model.

This worked brilliantly. By 2019, Abtach (A.B. standing for Azneem Bilwani) was making upwards of USD $3 million a month scamming Americans with:

  • trademark registration
  • logo design
  • other scams that relied on upselling useless services, pretending to be US government officials, and other criminal actions (as laid out by the US Patent and Trademark Office — and also personally believed by me).

Fast Forward to 2025

Bilwani’s B2B business eWorldTrade, which is run out of Karachi, was charged with trafficking drugs by the U.S. Government’s Department of Justice.

What Happened in Court

PDFThe United States of America and Defendant EWorldTrade, LLC, by and through their respective undersigned counsel, (collectively the “Parties”), hereby submit this Joint Status Report (JSR) pursuant to the Court’s instructions on June 4, 2025, directing the Parties to inform the Court through a JSR in advance of the status conference currently scheduled for September 4, 2025, if the Parties expect to resolve the case short of a trial but have not yet reached such a resolution.

The Parties have conferred about a resolution, including in two in-person meetings, and expect to resolve the case without a trial. But given the cross-border nature of this case and the multitude of issues to be navigated before a resolution, the Parties anticipate further negotiations that will take time. As such, the Parties jointly request that the Court schedule a trial date during the month of May 2026, specifically May 4, May 11, or May 18, 2026. The Parties will notify the Court as soon as an agreement is reached and request a hearing date accordingly.

What This Really Means

Although the United States government had enough evidence to seize the website eWorldTrade from Azneem Bilwani, it is not going to trial against him.

Instead, it will most likely settle the drug trafficking charge with a deferred prosecution agreement and a fine (which could be as big as USD $50 million) — as long as Bilwani turns over information on all the business activities of Intersys and cooperates with the US Government.

Cooperation with the U.S. Government

Intersys (formerly Abtach) will have to cooperate and turn over a range of information to the U.S. Government about how eWorldTrade operated, as well as information on Intersys operations in Karachi.

This will include information on employees and partners.

Based on what I know about Azneem Bilwani and the sort of people he employs (like Maria Siddiqui, Irsa Faruqi and Majid Hassan, who are pathological liars — my personal opinion), I believe Bilwani and his legal team will face a tough position.

Whatever information they turn over as part of the cooperation (a pre-requisite to avoid the drug trafficking court case) will implicate Bilwani and his employees, including:

  • Syed Zuhaib Hasan Wasti
  • Arhum Siddiqui (whose Mom might be in the FIA and protecting Abtach from prosecution in Pakistan)
  • and other Abtach high-ups.

These names could be tied to crimes ranging from drug trafficking to large-scale fraud and money laundering for German criminal organizations.

What is Likely to Happen?

I believe that Azneem Bilwani and the Intersys team will lie to the U.S. Government to try and make the case go away.

Those lies will be documented and could lead to a superseding indictment wherein Bilwani will be charged along with Intersys and all the subsidiaries.

I also firmly believe that Bilwani’s helpers in America, like Anil Raj Govind (who is residing in America illegally and running a range of illicit businesses), will be implicated and face serious jail time.

I also believe that a new case will be brought against Intersys and several other large scam organizations soon.

Any partners of Bilwani who have helped him set up merchant processors will be implicated and their information given to the U.S. Government as part of this deal to avoid the drug trafficking charges (I believe!).

Geopolitical Angle

It’s possible that geopolitical considerations have influenced the U.S. Department of Justice’s decision to negotiate with eWorldTrade — a brand wholly owned by Intersys (formerly Abtach) — despite the serious allegations of:

  • drug trafficking
  • money laundering
  • human trafficking
  • national security risks

With the highly transactional Trump administration, there is a notable push for U.S. companies to gain access to Pakistan’s untapped mineral wealth — particularly oil, rare earth minerals crucial for modern technologies like lithium-ion batteries, and even cryptocurrency mining potential.

These interests may have led to a reluctance by the U.S. to aggressively pursue action against Pakistani fentanyl trafficking entities like Intersys.

This backdrop may have created a delicate balance, where Pam Bondi’s DOJ, while aware of the criminal activity at play, may be factoring in the broader diplomatic and economic considerations with Pakistan.

There is precedent for this: Pam Bondi’s brother, Bradley Bondi, has represented multiple criminals who have had charges dropped by his sister’s Department of Justice.

What the Filing Really Means

The government and the defense are basically asking the court to pause everything while they work out a backroom deal.

They argue that rushing to trial could “result in a miscarriage of justice.” But justice for whom? The people dying from fentanyl overdoses?

The Speedy Trial Act exists to protect both defendants and the public interest. Yet here, the DOJ itself is asking the court to stop the clock — not because evidence is lacking, but because both sides would rather talk settlement.

This is the same playbook used in countless corporate crime cases: drag out negotiations, avoid a jury, and end up with a fine or deferred prosecution agreement that allows the company to continue operating.

Abtach to Intersys

This trial doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

eWorldTrade is a brand wholly owned by Intersys (formerly Abtach), which I believe to be a transnational criminal organization operating from Texas, Karachi, UK, Pakistan, Germany and more.

Here’s what’s already known about them:

A notorious “software house” that built an empire on:

  • trademark registration scams
  • ghostwriting scams
  • fake publishing companies
  • fraudulent call centres
  • digital extortion

Customers were lured in with promises of cheap services, only to be trapped in endless upsells and outright theft.

Abtach is Over

The Intersys/Abtach business model of (I believe) scamming victims left and right and making giant profits is over.

Why? Because I will now help victims sue Azneem Bilwani, Saad Iqbal and their family members.

No more scamming victims anonymously. The days of super growth at Intersys are finished.

Anyone who thinks otherwise just do the simple math:

  • If your brands are all known to be owned by Azneem Bilwani…
  • And each victim can sue Azneem Bilwani, Erum Bilwani and Uraib Bilwani directly…

How long can Intersys stay in business? Not long.

Even without me shutting down the Abtach eBook, Design and PoS scams, given the cooperation with the U.S. Government, Abtach cannot continue to commit crimes.

What Happens Next?

As of now, the trial is set for May 2026, but the Joint Status Report makes it possible that Azneem Bilwani will snitch on employees, partners and government protectors to avoid the drug case.

The public deserves to know exactly what deals are being made, who is being protected, and why corporations tied to narcotics trafficking aren’t treated the same way as individuals.

I am Danny de Hek and will keep exposing these criminals, because the truth matters.

If regulators won’t hold them accountable, then I will.

I will not stop this till every single eBook, Trademark, Copyright, RSP, DME, Design, Lower Interest, Copyright, E-com, and Customer Service scammer in Karachi feels the heat.

Azneem Bilwani Extra-Marital Affairs

In posts to come I may reveal Azneem Bilwani’s extra-marital affairs wherein he has cheated on his wife Erum Bilwani with his female employees.

I only mention this as some of these relationships were coercive based on accounts relayed to me.

The Timeline of the Case

  • June 4, 2025 – Judge Ana C. Reyes instructs both parties to update the court if they expect a resolution short of trial.
  • Summer 2025 – The DOJ’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section holds multiple in-person meetings with EWorldTrade’s defense team. Negotiations for a non-trial resolution begin.
  • August 29, 2025 – A Joint Status Report & Motion to Toll Time is filed. Both the DOJ and EWorldTrade’s lawyers confirm they expect to resolve the case without trial. They also request to “toll the Speedy Trial clock” to buy more time.
  • September 4, 2025 – A status conference was originally scheduled, but the filing pre-empts it by declaring progress toward a deal.
  • May 4, 11, or 18, 2026 – Proposed trial dates if negotiations fail. But make no mistake: this timeline makes it very likely the case will never see a courtroom.

The Bigger Problem: Fines Over Justice

If history repeats, here’s what’s likely to happen:

  • EWorldTrade will pay a large fine that looks impressive on paper but represents a fraction of what it earned through criminal activity. This fine could be as high as $50 million.
  • No executives will face prison time. The company takes the hit, while the individuals behind it walk free. (For this drug trafficking case. The fraud investigation is continuing, from what I know).
  • Intersys keeps running. But with lower profits and lot more layoffs.

This outcome doesn’t deter crime — it encourages it. To cartels and financial syndicates, a fine is simply the price of doing business in Western markets.
