Maybe time to look once again at how Rudy Giuliani helped Kazakhstan’s notorious oligarchs launder the embezzled BTA & City of Almaty funds into Trump properties.
The lawsuit filed by BTA Bank against Felix Sater alleges he helped launder millions of the stolen funds via Bayrock into Trump Soho properties.

courthousenews.com/sater-had-laun…
For the wonks in the audience, the actual lawsuit.

As @fairchild01 the Editor Devil puts it so well, RICO, baby, RICO.

Rudy’s firm, Bracewell & Guiliani, had an office in Kazakhstan.
The firm assisted Leila Krapunova, oligarch Victor’s wife, in setting up a firm, KazBay B.V., based in Holland, which purchased & flipped three Trump Soho condos. They got tax advice from Rudy’s former firm. 💸
Zembla did some very fine reporting on this matter — Rudy Giuliani helping Kazakh money launderers with their tax shelters — and it is subtitled.
Dutch is such a nice language to listen to.
TY, sistercrow. 😚

Fun fact: Felix Sater’s father was part of Semion Mogilevich’s organized crime syndicate.

If I was looking to store data, or run an operation well away from prying eyes, it’s ideal. Epstein called his NYC place a “shack”.

I suppose using Zorro is a hattip to Epstein’s prowess as a “swordsman”.
Also, due to the book and several movies, it makes obscuring your “corporate” doings just a bit easier.

We see two of them in the Google Earth screenshot.

Picked up this beauty from 1997 at a thrift store yesterday.

Who am I to resist a book with a blurb from Dimitri K. Simes of the Nixon Center for Peace and Freedom?
I thumbed through it noticing its lovely map, and notations made by the original owner. They seemed a trail of breadcrumbs...that led me to Michael Ledeen, of all people.

Here is the lovely map.

I am sharpening the knives before tackling my very favorite villain of all, Paul John Manafort, former Trump campaign manager, former Yanukovych campaign manager, and current inmate at a Pennsylvania prison.
My currently open windows of indictments range from A to U: Assange Butina Cohen Concord Corsi Deripaska Epstein Firtash Gates Internet-research-agency Kilimnik Khusyznova Manafort NRA Papadapolous Patten Stone Trump Unknown-defendant.
Like Arya, I like lists.
Eff me, always with the legion typos, which in this case involves me not even being able to read my own handwriting.
It’s KHUSYANOVA not KhusyZnova.

Rudy Giuliani is losing it. This is Infowars-type stuff.
Wow. Here's Rudy Giuliani throwing the State Department under the bus and saying State officials called him and asked him to get involved in Ukraine.
Rudy is pushing Illuminati-style conspiracy theories about [spins wheel] George Soros

#Giuliani Renews Pressure On #Ukraine to Investigate Trump’s Political Opponents nyti.ms/31TI2ne
Amazing. #Giuliani says Kurt Volker & the State Dept helped him press #Ukraine to launch criminal probes of Trump's political opponents. Even if they're just trying to placate Rudy, this shows how profoundly corrosive it is to have corruption & moral bankruptcy at the top of USG.
@kenvogel @jheil There's so much grotesquely wrong with Giuliani's abuses in Ukraine, not the least of which is HIS own well-known work for suspected organized crime & corruption in Eastern Europe. @anders_aslund names a few of them here ⬇️

"Asked on Serbian TV...how much he was...paid to appear w/ Vucic, Giuliani...replied, “My company gets paid for it. I don’t get paid for it.”...the US Embassy...was forced to issue a stmt that the visit should not be perceived as an American endorsement of any candidate/party."
"When Radovan Karadzic, currently facing war crimes and genocide charges at The Hague, was arrested in 2008, Vucic [party leader Giuliani's group was paid to appear with] praised the former Bosnian Serb leader as a “Serbian hero,”
"...Vucic (who served as MILOSEVIC's info minister) had been leaders of the Serbian Radical Party, which supported the restoration of “Greater Serbia,” CLOSER TIES WITH RUSSIA, and whose leader, Vojislav Seselj, is currently facing prosecution forw WAR CRIMES at The Hague."

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
