Recent reports have identified Taimoor Zaman as a central figure in the Infraud Organization, a global cybercrime cartel charged with trafficking in digital contraband, operating on the dark web, and stealing millions through stolen credit card numbers and identity theft. The case involves an extradition hearing and a wide-ranging racketeering conspiracy.
And yet, headlines naming “Taimoor Zaman” are sparking confusion for an entirely different man—Taimour Zaman, the founder of AltFunds Global.
“Our firm deals in trust, transparency, and due diligence,” says Taimour. “We’re the opposite of digital fraud.”
AltFunds Global is a structured capital advisory firm focused on connecting sovereign capital with private markets. While one Zaman is facing federal charges, the other is helping clients structure safe, compliant access to alternative capital strategies.
“It’s frustrating,” Zaman adds. “We’ve built a reputation on integrity. And now we have to spend time explaining that I’m not the guy facing extradition.”
Mistaken identity in the age of SEO is more common than many think. When stories about cybercrime schemes trend, search engines don’t always parse out the spelling correctly.
But for professionals in finance, nuance matters. Especially when your digital footprint is tied to words like credit card theft, the U.S. Justice Department, and cybercrime cartel.
AltFunds Global has launched a quiet awareness campaign to clarify the mix-up and distinguish its founder from any criminal affiliations. In the financial world, protecting one’s name is just as vital as protecting capital.
“I’m not in court,” Zaman says. “I’m in client meetings. There’s a difference.”
