The Moment You Know You Know You Know...
... exposing 'Football Leaks' for the charlatans that they are.
A shady operation, 'Football Leaks' have been releasing stolen contracts and documents since September 2015. Their play on 'Wikileaks', a proper sousveillance organisation established for the good of us all, is a misnomer, 'Football Leaks' cannot hack, they cannot protect themselves digitally and their aim is private profit.
'Football Leaks' are simply a criminal organisation.
_______________________________________________________________________________
What's Going On?
FIFA and UEFA have disintegrated.
There are no institutions protecting the integrity of the beautiful game, not that there were when Blatter and Platini were playing their 'pass the brown envelope' charades.
Like all good mafia men, the Dynamic Duo further deconstructed the validity of the sport before exiting stage right by shelving Financial Fair Play regulations and ending the licensing of football agents.
Cowboy capitalism has taken over.
But FIFA did undertake to produce one final piece of valid regulation prior to the FBI and the Swiss authorities moving onto the scene.
In April 2015, the football world's governing body introduced a document on football governance entitled "Third-Party Ownership of Players' Economic Rights" which banned such ownership worldwide from May Day 2015 http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/footballgovernance/02/59/55/80/third-partyownershipofplayerseconomicrights-backgroundinformation_neutral.pdf).
Prior to this, multiple ownership wasn't illegal on the Iberian peninsula and was consequently commonplace.
It was illegal though in the Premier League following the Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano affair but it continued anyway under the watchful gaze of Richard Scudamore.
However, being Blatter, the regulation was undermined by his other actions leading Jean-Pierre Louvel, the head of the French association of professional clubs, to state: "It was already difficult to know the exact identity of a player's agent. Now it's going to be worse."
Who Are 'Football Leaks'?
'Football Leaks' (FL) began life as a shoddy little operation that purportedly tried to shakedown Doyen Sports over Third Party Ownership (TPO) of players primarily in Portugal.
FL deny these extortion attempts but the Portuguese police claim to have evidence which would appear to be robust.
Nelio Lucas of Doyen received the first email demanding payment on October 3rd 2015 as detailed in Spanish newspaper AS (http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2016/01/23/internacional/1453561644_635176.html).
In translation, the email stated: "500,000 euros or a million euros would be a good gift for this material. I am a man of my word and have no interest in harming you or your collaborators."
AS describes FL as an "international criminal organisation" which is exactly what they were to become.
FL's Superman had accessed contracts and documents relating to TPO and Doyen at Sporting Clube de Portugal (and elsewhere).
It was these contracts and documents that were the basis of the shenanigans.
These contracts were not hacked.
They were stolen.
FL's hacking skills have always been whack.
The 'Football Leaks' family are merely crooks and hoaxers.
Documents also surfaced relating to Doyen and Twente Enschede which, by fluke, had also been stolen after a business arrangement went awry.
It is worthy of note that Mr Small can't hack either.
But Mr Small represented other bosses who were much more interested in Mr Big than in Doyen.
Mr Small and Superman have made big claims that FL is for the fans.
It isn't.
It is for a mob.
What's The Story?
Mr Small together with his fellow bosses in the Anglo Saxon world, ###### and representatives of certain football clubs and certain refereeing overseers had hatched a plan to fix football matches in the Premier League and La Liga starting from the beginning of this season.
And fix matches they did with fully ##% of referees in the two leagues being brought into the crime family.
##%!!
However, there was a spanner in the works in the shape of a Special One who refused to stay quiet about corruption in the English game. Mr Small and his mafia crime hierarchy matchfixed the Special One out of the Premier League which was not taken kindly by Mr Big resulting ############# ############## fragmenting further into warring factions.
Battles raged in San Sebastian, Swansea, Madrid and the battlefield remains bloody in Valencia.
Mr Big is being directly targeted by FL's disclosures yet the people that form an alliance with Superman undertake the same illegal and criminal practices themselves.
Since we started disclosing our evidences, the British side of this battle have fallen to pieces by putting out contradictory and self-harming media releases while matchfixing has become blindingly obvious to any knowledgeable spectator.
In the last week, the following games have been systemic matchfixing events in England - Norwich v Liverpool, ######## v ########, ####### v #######, ####### v #######, Swansea v Watford, ####### v ####### and ########### v #########. Not all corruptions were landed with injury time at Carrow Road wiping the smiles from the faces of certain high-flyers at a well known television channel.
A similar number of events have been matchfixed in La Liga with Saturday's ############## versus ############# standing out as the most obvious scam.
Who Is Losing Out?
The fans, other agents, sponsors, advertisers, bettors on the wrong side of scams, Sky and BT Sport subscribers and readers of the mainstream media in England, some of which grease the systemic corruption - all are having the piss taken out of them by a bunch of multi-millionaires who are addicted to the profits of criminality.
The leagues have become a complete farce with 'shock' results becoming so regular that non-shock results are shocking!
And attendances are plummeting in La Liga and the EPL.
Meanwhile the abusers have the chutzpah to claim ownership of integrity - "Thank you for all your support in our fight for transparency in the world of football!" recently shouted the fantasists and the hoaxers.
Forget about it and let's consider how to strike back.
What Can Be Done?

But there are still an array of strong responses.
1) Sousveillance of data, actions and inactions - my favourite current operation is the Coletive Papo Reto in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro who video police extra-judicial killings and bring the rogue officers to court. We can all film and record.
2) Although 'Football Leaks' can't hack, other individuals can and white hat hacking utilising the shocking lack of internet security to digitally trespass and slurp data to facilitate the free flow of information is certainly a strategy for those of a lulzy state of mind. Nothing could be easier.
3) Police should be making arrests over the stolen information in Portugal, the Netherlands and the UK and, who knows, they may well do so.
4) Agents evade tax rampantly and focus on Offshore Financial Centres (OFCs) to launder their already illicit gains. There are those who hack into these OFCs and release the data and, furthermore, there are those who network these releases bottom-up to recreate the Tor-like networks used to obfuscate the corruptions. Sometimes the tax authorities of state do their regulatory business too...
5) Once cartels fragment, the mask of omerta slips and self-motivated psychopathy becomes the art of war of choice. The rewards for spilling the beans on opponents magnifies in such windows.
How Are Things Going To Develop?
Agents are destroying the sport on which they leech. Via their excessive percentages resulting in spiralling transfer fees at the expense of the game, multiple ownership of players between agents, coercion of players, the matchfixing of games, control of mainstream media and a tendency to reside in the moral gutter, this largely non-regulated body of shysters has succeeded in destroying the world's favourite sport.
As with FIFA and UEFA, Blatter and Platini, and the ExCo crooks from around the world, time is not on their side.
Chilean journalist Juan Cristóbal Guarello: "The FBI has arrested them [FIFA executives] for doing what they always did without reproach: behaving as a bigwig in the world of professional football. All the allegations that they face (fraud and money laundering) are everyday elements of their activity. That is to say they are an essential part of football for rent."
