Interesting - Plane registered to subsidiary of sanctioned Russian Direct Investment Fund flew from Moscow to DC 4/11/19 - head of RDIF Kirill Dmitriev met with Erik Prince in the Seychelles

@MacFinn44 collects and tweets out some incredible flight data ✈️
In addition to Dmitriev's meeting with Erik Prince, here's another odd story that mostly flew under the radar - RDIF invested twice in Elon Musk's Hyperloop and US officials and lawmakers were reviewing the deal
RDIF was one of my early guesses for the mystery wholly state-owned foreign financial company in the Mueller subpoena case

Alptekin, the now-indicted business associate of Flynn and Bijan Kian, in 2008 had a business deal "with financing from Putin-chaired VEB Bank" [whose CEO met with Kushner in Dec 2016 and whose subsidiary is RDIF, the CEO of which, Kirill Dmitriev, met with Erik Prince].
#Maddow
Bijan Kian is seeking files re Mike Flynn's contacts with RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev [who in Jan 2017 met with Erik Prince in the Seychelles and Scaramucci at DAVOS]. Flynn likely made contact with Dmitriev through his now-indicted associate, Ekim Alptekin.
@wisewinston @MaddowBlog
Flynn’s now-indicted associate Alptekin in 2008 had a business deal funded by Russia's VEB Bank [whose CEO met with Kushner in Dec 2016]. Putin personally approved the loan. RDIF [whose CEO Dmitriev met with Erik Prince] is a subsidiary of VEB.

Russian Direct Investment Fund, whose CEO Kirill Dmitriev met with Erik Prince in the Seychelles? RDIF is a subsidiary of VEB Bank, whose CEO met with Jared Kushner in Dec 2016.
Recall, then-Trump transition team member Anthony Scaramucci also met with Russian Direct Investment Fund [RDIF] CEO Kirill Dmitriev at Davos, one week after Erik Prince's Seychelles' meeting with Dmitriev.
