Accused Russian hacker extradited to New York and will be brought before Judge Swain on Sept. 25.
He will also be presented before a magistrate judge this afternoon. More to come.
USAO's press release lists Tyurin's co-conspirators (charged separately) as Gery Shalon, Joshua Samuel Aaron, and Ziv Orenstein, charged three years ago by then-U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

A “brave new world of hacking for profit,” Preet called it then

The indictments unsealed today against Tyurin shield the names of the hacking victims, but the victims ID-d by the WSJ in the Shalon/Aaron/Orenstein cases included JPMorgan, E-Trade Financial and Scotttrade.

Look out for more story on this, with updates TK.
From the USAO press release on the Tyurin connection with Shalon/Aaron/Orenstein.

Prosecutors claim that indicted attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya fabricated supposed findings from a mutual legal assistance treaty. @PeteBrush dug up that Russian MLAT, and it's signed by "S.A. Karapetyan."

A top Russian prosecutor with that name died in a copter crash last year.
Just as prosecutors allege, the Russian MLAT clears itself and vilifies an "Investment Company" throughout, in particular, Bill Browder's Hermitage Capital.

Here's a story on the death of Karapetyan, whose name matches the one on the doc's signature. rferl.org/amp/russian-pr…
It should be noted that figures connected to the Prevezon case, believed to be tied to Russian organized crime, have a habit of encountering misfortune.

After Magnitsky's death in a Moscow prison, his family's attorney survived a four-story fall from his Moscow apartment.

In which attorneys for an accused Russian troll farm - an actual fake news operation founded by a man nicknamed "Putin's chef" - cry foul on reporters accurately quoting a federal judge. ⬇️
(Note: Despite my ironic usage of the phrase "fake news" in relation to Concord Management, the more accurate phrase for the outfit would be disinformation mill, as "fake news" is a meaningless propaganda term.)
Meanwhile, rebuked by a Trump-appointed judge, Concord Management's defense team carries on with its legal strategy: trolling-so-hard.

Their latest missive:

🚨 MAJOR: Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, charged with obstruction of justice in the Prevezon case.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said she fabricated evidence.
Remember when Donald Trump, Jr. claimed that he "mostly talked about adoptions" with Veselnitskaya at the Trump Tower meeting?

That's Russia's response to sanctions over the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a key figure in the Prevezon case.

Background: courthousenews.com/judge-enforces…
The sealed indictment was docketed on Dec. 20, 2018.

You can find the unsealed 18-page indictment here. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

New York!

I need some advice.

We can only get a theatre on December 9th, a Sunday.

Still want a Night for Freedom NYC?

(P.S. NOT interested in "general" advice. This is for people who attend events or would attend on a Sunday.)
It would be a Hoaxed screening + party afterwards, although it's Sunday so it wouldn't be a late night affair.
NYC on December 9th would be be Hoaxed matinee showing and "an afternoon and early evening of freedom" style event.

Thought I would share some history of our #Press and perhaps some of the ppl behind it so we can understand how it became #FakeNews "The first American press was the partisan press, underwritten and dictated by the political parties."
"The third wave in American journalism—that of the foundation press—may be taking form now thanks to Bay Area billionaires Herbert and Marion Sandler. Waving $10 million that they promise to replenish annually"
"The Sandlers have founded the nonprofit ProPublica to produce investigative journalism. (Usual suspect the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is also chipping in some money to the ProPublica kitty, as are the Atlantic Philanthropies and the JEHT Foundation.)"

NEW THREAD: Donald Trump was “desperate” to win a casino bid from the Cyprus Government during the 2016 election - a Cyprus LLC was opened for the project & Cypriot officials were aggressively lobbied. I don't see any research/US reporting on this, so dropping what I've got here.
Some background: in July 2015, the Cyprus Government passed legislation to allow the island's first casino to be built. The Ministry of Tourism opened up a first phase of bidding in September 2015. /2 cyprus-mail.com/2015/07/27/two…
On 11/12/15, a Cyprus LLC named “Goldenlady Consortium” was formed. One director, David Rouxel, is a French national. The other, Giorgos Pavlidis, appears to be a Greek national. I'm *pretty sure* that the date is European, so it would be December 11th, 2015. /3

NEW: The ties between President Donald Trump’s embattled personal lawyer Michael D. Cohen and Chicago’s taxicab industry go deeper than previously known. 1) chicago.suntimes.com/?post_type=cst…
Over the past eight months, Cohen’s father-in-law has given at least $20 million in loans to Yasya Shtayner, records examined by the Chicago Sun-Times show. Her family owns Chicago Medallion Management Corp., which manages 368 taxicabs, including 22 owned by Cohen. 2)

Accused Russian hacker Peter Levashov is likely losing his attorney after revelations that the lawyer simultaneously represented Gery Shalo, lead defendant in the JP Morgan hack. The issue: Shalo has turned state's evidence, informed on Levashov thedailybeast.com/tony-soprano-o…
Kozlovsky claims the program he developed, the so-called LDCS, was able to “replace information on Twitter, Facebook, Google and leading U.S. media outlets.”

“The technology described, LDCS, it’s quite a typical code called podmena or substitute in Russian slang, mainly used for changing real advertising links for someone else’s illegal promotion or for illegal bank fraud operations,”

THREAD: the FBI warned Hope Hicks earlier this year about repeated attempts by #Russian🇷🇺operatives to make contact with her during the presidential transition‼️1/

nytimes.com/2017/12/08/us/…
After Trump took office, FBI CI agents met w/Hicks in the Situation Room at least twice, gave her the names of the #Russians who had contacted her, and said that they were not who they claimed to be.🙄 2/
The FBI was concerned that the emails to Hicks was part of a #Russian🇷🇺intelligence op, and urged Ms. Hicks to be cautious.🤨 3/
