United States v. The Western Union Company Court Docket Number: 1:17-cr-00011 (M.D. Pa.)
Media Relations
12500 E. Belford Ave
Englewood, CO 80112

Petition for Remission Submission
On January 19, 2017, The Western Union Company (Western Union), paid $586 million to settle charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission
(or FTC) and the Department of Justice (or DOJ). The company admitted to criminally aiding and abetting wire fraud and to violations of the
Bank Secrecy Act.

The U. S. Postal Inspection Service investigated various schemes in which fraudsters contacted victims and falsely posed as
family members in need or federal law enforcement officials, or falsely promised prizes, loans, employment opportunities, discounted products or
other financial awards. The fraudsters directed the victims to send money through Western Union to help relatives, avoid imprisonment or arrest,
or to claim prizes, receive loans, employment, products or some other financial award. No one received the cash, prizes or other promised items.

The Department of Justice hired Gilardi & Co., LLC to serve as the remission administrator in this matter.
