This is the most interesting thing that I have seen in awhile. A Brazilian corruption case, with a $30M shady loan to a construction contractor, who was supposed to then 'invest $3M" in a company that rented buildings to the US govt. #ButNothingsHappening justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr/f…
I will have to do some digging on these companies as theyare all new to me. But the scam of getting bribes to build facilities to lease back to the Feds has been running for decades. Sometimes using US govt. backed loans! This is major Swamp activity. 
The indictment is for a loan agreed to in 2013, but the suspect paid in the $3M dollar investment to the GSA contractor but never got the $30M loan. Was it just a ruse to hide the source of the $3M? I will have to do some research...
The 2 companies appear to be shells for the same suspect who was arrested. Seems they were taking foreign money to invest in projects (to rend to the US govt.) & offering lots of benefits. I found this from a presentation given in Latvia in 2014.

The investments included getting revenue out of GSA (US federal contracts) for building facilities for US agencies like the Social Security Agency office pictured in their first slide! They are also offering EB-5 Visas to be US Residents in exchange! #ButNothingsHappening!
They claim their principals & partners to have involvement in more than $5B in real estate deals.
Those are some pretty high yield investments, delivering 6.75% to 12% net income yield. They must have had high confidence that they could get federal agencies to rent space in their buildings... You don't think this might lead to procurement fraud do you?
So now they are guaranteeing 12% yields on the investment in government rental facilities. More interesting, they claim they are putting the clients' money in the bank, then building the facilities with borrowed money. Who would loan these guys money? I smell #moneylaundering!
Yep, their $1M investors get EB-5 Visas with permanent resident status in the US for creating at least 10 jobs with their investment! Along with a guaranteed 12% return on their investment. Sound Swampy to you?
I have been doing some more digging on these 2 companies. My followers will not be surprised that they were run out of a virtual office using shared space. There websites are dead, but I found some interesting information on the Wayback Machine!
Both websites pointed to the one for Evergreen & they list the same team as the individuals involved. I looked at some profiles on these individuals & there isn't much on most of them. But what is available raises red flags...
I found an extremely suspicious real estate transaction last week. The completion of which may have triggered the announcement of the indictment. It connects the foreign money laundering into the Broward County Florida Swamp. #ButNothingsHappening
One LLC managed by Janalie Joseph appears to have bought a medical office building for $10.9M dollars. The seller? an LLC managed by Bruce Chait, who has already plead guilty to bribing Broward County officials in a previous case. floridamedspace.com/medical-office…
So they paid $10.9M for a building that was sold in 2017 for $3.25M.
Seems they overpaid a bit, especially as the hospital beside it is moving & it will no longer be in an ideal location...

A company called Keystone Real Estate Income Trust provided a $5.8 million loan to the buyer. But search engines find 0 uses of that name prior to the news articles about the sale on 4/15/19. It's like it existed only to make this transaction...
I am wondering if this is connected to some of the other cases & issues coming out of South Florida. Bruce Chait connects to a variety of cases of election violations, bribing Broward County & local officials. I'm sure his $7M windfall is under review!

Does the sale of this medical building tie into the conviction of one of the college admissions scandal parents for $1.3B in fraud over 10+ years in the region!
Does it tie into the SDFL case against a gold company that flipped on the criminals who were running the schemes?
Evergreen made a big deal on it's website about putting it's customer's money into gold! web.archive.org/web/2013090504…
I think there is far more here than we can see at this time. But what is already visible is a giant Swampy mess. Wonder if it connects to those corrupt Ecuadorians or the former Venezuelan official who plead guilty under seal in 2017? #ButNothingsHappening
