"In 2017, NYT reported that after the $900K donation from Ave Ventures to Trump’s inaugural committee, Zuberi was granted attendance to the Chairman’s Global Dinner, “a pre-inauguration, black-tie gathering intended to introduce the incoming pres to the foreign diplomatic corps.”
"Zuberi’s LinkedIn IDs him as vice chairman of priv equity and VC firm Avenue Ventures. He has “closed over $15B...” at the firm, whose clients include start-ups, major corps and sovereign wealth funds...

"Sri Lanka paid [Imaad Zuberi] $4.5M directly and $2 million to a company he co-owned for consulting work that included influencing the U.S. government. And he didn’t properly disclose to the United States the extent of his arrangement with Sri Lanka, the report said."
"The Daily Beast also reported that Zuberi was in contact with Elliott Broidy, former Republican National Committee finance chairman, about potential business."
Of course he was.
Of course he was.
The fact this guy is based out of L.A., tells me that either Broidy or Barrack set him in front of Cohen and Trump.
Possibly even Dana Rohrabacher, since Zuberi donated to him as well.

"This came in the wake of US then introducing a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council to probe alleged war crimes. It has transpired that Mr. Zuberi played the role of a middleman and benefited from large amount of moneys paid to these so-called PR firms."
"Mr. Zuberi’s co, Ave Ventures, acts as a consultant and has offices in China and the UAE, w/investments in India and Bahrain. The donation apparently generated coveted invitations to black-tie dinners and photo ops w/the US pres and some of his high-ranking officials..."
"Zuberi’s habit of trading on his political connects veered into his role as an agent for a foreign gov't....the Times said that in 2015, “the scandal-plagued gov't of Sri Lanka paid a total of $6.5M to Zuberi...to have included seeking to influence the American gov't.”
"The report also said that Zuberi belatedly registered as a consultant to the government of Sri Lanka, as required by law under the Foreign Agents Registration Act."
