Kolomoisky is not unfamiliar on the US scene, nor at Deutsche Bank.
Yet ICIJ found that for six years, Deutsche Bank moved at least $490 million from companies set up in the British Virgin Islands secretly under the control of Kolomoisky and business partner Hennady Boholyubov to companies in Delaware — one of the world’s foremost havens for financial secrecy. Most of the money was used to buy up the Midwest properties.
Yeah, I’m from Atlantic City so I’m aware of the…history, and the longstanding $$ connections to the Russian mob (he was laundering their money there, probably since the late 80s). I still find this connection to a GOP Russia-linked candidate back in 1994 pretty astonishing.
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he would appoint former White House aide Kellyanne Conway to the board of visitors of the U.S. Air Force Academy.
These lawsuits aren’t supposed to win. They’re meant to get press, fire up the mob, prove that the whole system is rigged and add to the grievances that will power the 2024 campaign, and in the short term deter prosecutors with the prospect of crowds of crazy people mobbing courthouses and downtowns and worse.
And four years ago, the aliens tipped the scales to stop Clinton from spilling the beans when she took the WH. Didn’t she make some comment about how she was going to open the books on Area 51 and aliens (if there were any books to open)?
I don’t know Marks’ story, but I don’t think that the article establishes that he was Russia-aligned in 1994 (just anti-bussing/bigoted). Though that does raise the question of how he transitioned from politics to post-Soviet law consultant. It would imply there was some connection to start the new career.
It is still odd why Trump would helicopter into an event for Marks, but even though Trump was a “NY Real Estate developer” I thought the family had properties in multiple states around NY, so there may have been existing connections to the PA market. And a fellow red-liner might have been enough to pique his mercurial interests.
The scientist in me is shouting “Show me the evidence!!”
To date no one in the trump orbit has shown any…repeat… any solid evidence anywhere of voter fraud. All that has been done is trump repeating saying Fraud, fraud fraud as if saying it will make it real. But that is not how reality works.
It’s not 100% clear but I think Marks got into the oligarch-law business after his time in politics (not before). Possible Trump introduced him to that world though…
