3. As of December 31, 2025, M&M Tech Solutions was a licensed foreign transmittal agent of OMNEX Group, Inc. and Viamericas Corporation. As a licensed agent of OMNEX Group, Inc. and Viamericas Corporation, M&M Tech Solutions was only authorized to transmit consumer funds as an agent of OMNEX Group, Inc. or Viamericas Corporation.
4. According to the Division's records, from January 1, 2026, to present, M&M Tech Solutions is an authorized delegate under M.G.L. chapter 169B, section 7 of both OMNEX Group, Inc. and Viamericas Corporation.
5. According to the records of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Division, the president of M&M Tech Solutions is Mariana Machado Baril.

(Money Transmitter).
7. On March 7, 2026, the Division received an email alerting the Division to potential unlicensed money transmission activity at M&M Tech Solutions. The email included a photograph of what appeared to be a transmission receipt (receipt) dated December 17, 2025, which did not identify either OMNEX Group, Inc. or Viamericas Corporation as the Money Transmitter and instead appeared to identify M&M Tech Solutions as the money transmitter.
8. The receipt appeared to indicate that M&M Tech Solutions accepted seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00) and an additional ten dollar ($10.00) fee for transmission. The receipt indicated that the $7,500 in funds were for M&M Tech Solutions to transmit to a foreign country. Acceptance of such funds for transmission to a foreign country in this manner was outside of the authority granted under the agent licenses referenced in paragraph 3 of this Cease Directive. Specifically, M&M Tech Solutions accepted funds from a Massachusetts consumer to transmit through channels outside of the OMNEX Group, Inc. or Viamericas Corporation network.
9. On March 10, 2026, a Senior Examiner for the Division entered the premises of M&M Tech Solutions located at 100 Granger Boulevard, Suite 101, Marlborough, Massachusetts.
10. The Senior Examiner identified himself as an employee of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to Mr. Marcus Rodrigues, the only employee of M&M Tech Solutions present. Mr. Rodrigues identified himself as the person in charge of or typically involved with conducting money transmission services at the location.
11. Mr. Rodrigues relayed to the Senior Examiner that M&M Tech Solutions is an authorized delegate of both OMNEX Group, Inc. and Viamericas Corporation. Upon further inquiry by the Division's Senior Examiner regarding money transmission activity at the location, Mr. Rodrigues noted that on occasion, when customers at the 100 Granger Boulevard location of M&M Tech Solutions request that funds be made available immediately in Brazil, he facilitates transfers through individuals he knows who maintain bank accounts in Brazil. According to Mr. Rodrigues, upon authorization, these individuals who maintain bank accounts in Brazil transfer funds or otherwise pay the designated beneficiary in Brazil. Mr. Rodrigues further stated that funds received from customers at the store are deposited into various U.S. bank accounts (noting it is not always the same account) owned by those individuals who maintain bank accounts in Brazil.
12. On March 10, 2026, the Division's Senior Examiner requested all transmission records related to the unlicensed activity from Mr. Rodrigues; however, to date the records have not been provided to the Division.
13. The Division has reason to believe that M&M Tech Solutions may be engaging in the activity of a money transmitter in violation of M.G.L chapter 169B.
