@AramRoston @karen_freifeld @polinaivanovva @mrspanstreppon I haven't posted this chart in a while, left side is failed 2008 attempt to buy Drake Hotel & shows how closely Firtash worked with Trump associates- Manafort, Rick Gates, Brad Zackson, Arthur Cohen and reported funding from Deripaska, Firtash, Mogilevich

@AramRoston @karen_freifeld @polinaivanovva @mrspanstreppon Another Trump-related hotel connection with Firtash - in 2007 $310 million funding for Trump Toronto hotel came from Austrian bank Raiffesen (RZB) which does majority of business in Russia and has ties to Firtash and has been called a front for Mogilevich

@AramRoston @karen_freifeld @polinaivanovva @mrspanstreppon And just to connect the two tweets above about Trump Toronto funder Raiffesen and the Drake Hotel - In 2008 Dmitry Firtash wired $25 million deposit from Raiffeisen for Drake Hotel

@AramRoston @karen_freifeld @polinaivanovva @mrspanstreppon In the early 2000s Firtash and his ex-wife Kalinovska were 1/3 owners of Cyprus-based company Highrock Holding Ltd, which was partly owned by a company where Semion Mogilevich's ex-wife Galina Telesh was listed as a director

@AramRoston @karen_freifeld @polinaivanovva @mrspanstreppon As an aside, there's no public evidence showing Dmitry Firtash ever funded Cambridge Analytica

What is known is finding by @annmarlowe that Vincent Tchenguiz, the former largest owner of CA parent co SCL, & Firtash both invested in unrelated Zander Group

@AramRoston @karen_freifeld @polinaivanovva @mrspanstreppon @annmarlowe The reason US is trying to extradite Firtash (now under house arrest in Vienna) to Chicago:

In 2006 Boeing planned to buy titanium through company controlled by Firtash

Firtash was indicted on charges of directing $18.5mil in bribes to Indian officials
