TVI Express: banks alongside Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda?

TVI Express was so eager to explain why they list a Cyprus address as their official address (even though it still claims to be "headquartered in London UK", despite not having any office in London), they have a whole webpage explaining why.

But here's a bit of history you may not have realized about Cyprus...

Did you know that Osama Bin Laden, world's most wanted man, leader of Al Qaeda, funneled money through Cyprus?

"Bin Laden's organization kept bank accounts in Cyprus" -- Cyprus Mail

"South Cyprus -- haven for money laundering en route to EU" -- Turks.us
Bin Laden, Milosovic, and Russian Mafia are just some who had laundered money through Cyprus

"A Tramp Freighter's Money Trail to Osama Bin Laden" -- New York Times
Bin laden's lieutenants setup front companies on Cyprus to own various ships, purpose unknown

The charges are serious enough that UN officially asked the Central Bank of Cyprus to issue some orders to other banks on Cyprus to look for links to Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, and so on.
