Guardian Trust Company Limited has had its license suspended by the financial services regulator in Nevis - 11 years after OffshoreAlert first began exposing the trust company's involvement with criminals.

A United States national who was convicted of tax evasion-related offenses as recently as June 30th, 2006 is secretly involved with a Nevis-based trust company, OffshoreAlert can reveal. Until a few weeks ago, Charles Sigerseth, 66, of Missoula, Montana, was listed as the registrant for the domain name ‘guardiantrustcompany.com', which links to the web-site for Guardian Trust Company Ltd. 

A man who is under criminal indictment in the United States for alleged money laundering and fraud is no longer involved with Nevis-based Guardian Trust Company, said the firm's manager, Jessica Huggins. Even though one of Guardian's web-sites is still registered to Baron D. Abboud, of Omaha, Nebraska, Huggins said: "He no longer has anything to do with the company."
