1/#FILE_ONE (CASE# 001): DIMITRY STRESHINSKY, PART I – Today’s FILE_ONE will be the first in a series of Twitter threads highlighting the history and associations of Russian gun manufacturer and arms dealer DIMITRY STRESHINSKY, ERIK PRINCE’s mysterious business partner.
2/ #FILE_ONE can report today, mostly thanks to the excellent journalism of Scott Stedman @ScottMStedman, that STRESHINSKY is connected, at least by association, to powerful Russian interests through the Cypriot law firm of CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES.
3/ STRESHINSKY, DIMITRY, aka DIMITRY STRESHINSKIY along w/other names with slightly different spellings, lives in Paris, France according to his Linkedin page. STRESHINSKY is Chairman of the Board, ARSENAL FIREARMS GROUP, a position he’s held since 2010.

4/ Recently, ERIK PRINCE was linked to DIMITRY STRESHINSKY, a Russian gun manufacturer and arms dealer. Both men were partners in “PROJECT ZULU”, a proposal to sell $200+ million in arms and security services to the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.

5/ ARSENAL FIREARMS was incorporated in Cyprus as a private limited liability company on Oct 22, 2010 (h/t to Patrick @Trickfreee). STRESHINSKY (“DMITRY STRESHINSKIY”) and his wife, SUZANA (“SYUZANA STRESHINSKAYA”), are listed as directors of the company.

6/ ELENI LAOU, VASILIKI ANDREOU, and PAMPINA VOTSI are also listed as listed as directors of ARSNEAL FIREARMS. As #FILE_ONE will show, VOTSI is connected to powerful Russian interests through a Cypriot attorney, CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES.
7/ Beginning in October, 2010, at the exact same time ARESNAL FIREARMS was incorporated in Cyprus, VASILIKI ANDREOU started her position as a corporate attorney with VASSILIADES’ Nicosia based law firm, CHRISTODOUPOLOS G. VASSILIADES & Co. LLC.

8/ Furthermore, according to ARSENAL FIREARMS director PAMPINA VOTSI’s Linkedin page, VOTSI is listed as a senior administrator at CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES & Co. LLC.

9/ CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES & Co. LLC lists on its website banking and private clients, corporate law, tax and international tax planning as some of the firm’s areas of expertise.

10/ However, CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES & Co. LLC is extensively referred to in leaked documents known as the PANAMA PAPERS which reveal large-scale money laundering and tax evasion by the global elites.

11/ Interestingly, ARSENAL FIREARMS director VASILIKI ANDREOU’s name comes up in a search of the OFFSHORE LEAKS DATABASE which is an archive of the infamous PANAMA PAPERS.
offshoreleaks.icij.org/search?utf8=%E…
12/ And ARSENAL FIREARMS director PAMPINA VOTSI’s name also comes up in a search of the PANAMA PAPERS.
offshoreleaks.icij.org/search?utf8=%E…
13/ Recently, Scott Stedman @ScottMStedman revealed links between CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES, the man who owns the law firm STRESHINSKY’s fellow ARSENAL directors ANDREOU and VOTSI are associated with, and a Russian company connected to DONALD TRUMP.
medium.com/@ScottMStedman…
14/ Stedman: “A prominent Cypriot lawyer (CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES) known for serving Russian interests owns at least 60% of IC Expert, the Russian company Trump did business with during his presidential campaign.”
15/ “In the 2015 LOI signed between IC Expert and Trump Acquisition LLC, IC Expert Chairman Andrey Rozov falsely certified that he owned 100% of the company. ... IC Expert is actually owned by three “mystery” offshore companies — two in Cyprus and one in the Marshall Islands.”
16/ “Vassiliades obtained 60% ownership of IC Expert through his Cyprus-based company Ionics Nominees Limited. Ownership of the company was transferred to Ionics Nominees in May 2015, days after Rozov was given amnesty by the Kremlin for a negligent homicide charge.”
17/ “ … (N)ew financial documents ... prove that at least one of IC Expert’s Cyprus-based owners, Colinsen Trading Limited, is owned by Christodoulos Vassiliades — a high-profile Cypriot lawyer with links to the governments of Cyprus and Russia, and to the Bank of Cyprus.”
18/ #FILE_ONE finds it Interesting that the Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed on behalf of TRUMP ACQUISITON LLC by none other than former TRUMP attorney, MICHAEL COHEN.
19/ Furthermore, when it comes to TRUMP world links, VASSILIADES was nominated in 13 by the head of the BANK OF MOSCOW (now VTB) to the board of the BANK OF CYPRUS at the same time WILBUR ROSS, TRUMP’s current Sec of Commerce, served as its Vice-Chairman.
theguardian.com/us-news/2017/m…
20/ Stedman also revealed a connection through mutual associates in UKRAINE between VASSILIADES and TRUMP campaign manager PAUL MANAFORT, who is currently in court facing federal charges re: money laundering and tax evasion.
21/ Lastly, Stedman revealed significant connections between through PAMPINA VOTSI, ERIK PRINCE’s business partner DIMITRY STRESHINSKY’s fellow ARSENAL FIREARMS director, to the highest echelons of Russian organized crime.
22/ “The designated Secretary of Ionics is Pampina Votsi, a Vassiliades Director connected to multiple cases of tax evasion, embezzlement, and money laundering for at least two high-profile Russians — Semion Mogilevich and Suleiman Kerimov.”
23/ When it comes to understanding the connections between CHRISTODOULOS G. VASSILIADES and key Russian players, Scott Stedman’s @ScottMStedman excellent reporting is a must-read.
medium.com/@ScottMStedman…
24/ Furthermore, as #FILE_ONE has outlined in this thread, in addition to Stedman's reporting, we now know these powerful Russian players are also connected, at least through association, through VASSILIADES to DIMITRY STRESHINSKY, ERIK PRINCE’s business partner in “PROJECT ZULU.
END/ COMING NEXT: #FILE_ONE (CASE# 001): DIMITRY STRESHINSKY, PART 2 – A review of documents/articles related to STRESHINSKY’S criminal activities in illegally selling and shipping weapons from Soviet-era stockpiles and his connections to Russian oligarchs and the ODESSA MAFIA.

0/ Before the arrival of the weekend, we had a spate of news related to the #cryptocurrency and #blockchain ecosystem.

Keep reading to get up to speed on the latest goings-ons from the past day or so. You ready?
1/ 🆕 The team over at @ParityTech launched the alpha version of its Parity Fether wallet for the #Ethereum.

Fether uses the Parity Ethereum light client to access the #blockchain, as opposed to most #crypto wallets that are reliant on a centralized node. medium.com/paritytech/par…
2/ 🌊 After 4 full source-code rewrites, @PerlinNetwork [ $PERL ] unveiled the pre-alpha version of Wavelet.

It's the *first* publicly available, open, permissionless ledger that makes use of a DAG-based consensus protocol. Check it! medium.com/perlin-network…

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

THREAD: While we wait for the NRA to come clean about its connections to alleged Russian agent Maria Butina, let’s take a trip down memory lane and explore the twisted web of ties between Butina, the NRA, and prominent GOP operatives.
In 2011, then-NRA president David Keene befriended Russian banker & politician Alexander Torshin. Shortly thereafter, Torshin joined with Maria Butina to form a Russian gun rights group supposedly modeled after the NRA called the Right to Bear Arms. newrepublic.com/article/110223…
In 2013, Butina’s gun rights group hosted Keene and NRA-linked Republican operative Paul Erickson at the Right to Bear Arms’ annual convention in Moscow. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
