"Kazakh sources subsequently informed Sater that the Kremlin (!) had directed the Kazakhs not to pay Sater because of his espionage activities against Russia."

"Arcanum (a private intelligence firm staffed by former officials from the Clinton administration) and their attorneys Boies Schiller intended to use the CAA as a pretext for gathering intelligence against Sater, with the intent of harming Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign."

"Sater has extensive documentary evidence, including audio recordings, proving that Sater provided detailed information [about the Ablyazov funds] and a number of key witnesses previously unknown to the Kazakhs and their agents Arcanum and Boies Schiller."

"[Massimov's spy operation against Sater] was overseen on a day-to-day basis by his henchman Rakishev, Chairman of BTA Bank. Numerous Kazakh sources have told Sater that in reality, Massimov was taking orders from his old bosses at the Kremlin and directing Rakishev accordingly."

"The Kazakh KGB [Massimov] used Arcanum as its agent to pass the fraudulently obtained information to Steele. The information was then passed to the FBI, DOJ and numerous news sources. In December 2015, confidential information about Sater was leaked to Brian Ross of ABC News."

"The Brian Ross Smear started an avalanche of false reports and outright libel, all to create a cloud of suspicion that Trump was beholden to shadowy Russian interests. As this counterclaim will demonstrate, the Russian Collusion Hoax was the product of a Kazakh KGB operation."

"The Kazakhs meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election as a cynical ploy to curry favor with Hillary Clinton. When she lost, the Kazakh KGB doubled down, promoting the Russian Collusion Hoax that triggered the appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel in May 2017."

"No one can predict the long-term consequences of the Kazakhs’ actions. However, when the history is written, the Russian Collusion Hoax and its fallout should be laid at the feet of the Kazakh KGB and the Kremlin, which directed Massimov."

"In July of 2021, Sater’s attorneys prepared a draft version of this document and Sater, through high level former Obama Administration contacts, showed it to Massimov. This led immediately to Greenberg Traurig being hired to enter into settlement negotiations and mediation."

"Massimov began a U.S. influence campaign by targeting Hunter Biden, whom Rakishev contacted in 2012 at Massimov’s request. Rakishev arranged cash payments to Devon Archer (Hunter Biden's business partner) as well as cash payments to Hunter Biden from KazMunayGaz."

"Sater had no way of knowing, but Arcanum and Boies Schiller entered into the CAA with the goal of conducting a shadow operation against Sater and Trump. This operation was sponsored, funded, and approved by the Kazakh KGB, which itself was under the control of the Russian FSB."
