According to TicoTimes, Puerto Rican officials stated that Arthur Budovsky married a Puerto Rican woman in 2008 to obtain PR citizenship, and formally renounced his US citizenship in 2011. However, Puerto Rican officials cannot find any evidence of Budovsky entering Puerto Rico prior to 2011.
This seem to suggest that the marriage may be a sham marriage solely as a business arrangement for Budovsky to obtain PR citizenship in order to get away from US law. Sham marriages are considered serious fraud and can lead to revocation of citizenship.
TicoTimes also reported that the top players in Liberty Reserve have all used aliases when signing and/or creating corporate documents, and thus investigation into the company is often stonewalled, leading the PR financial authority SUGEF to deny Liberty Reserve a license to operate in PR in 2011. Liberty Reserve continued to operate any way, but slowly moved its servers and its bank accounts to Europe, trying to get away from PR authorities.
