Huh, LTC. Vindman's big brother used to handle investment banking in Russia & former Soviet states for UniCredit Group, one of the key money laundering organizations!
#ButNothingsHappening
They were involved in a wide variety of questionable activities over the years!
@MadAddictSport has done a few good threads on UniCredit!

@MadAddictSport They've even experienced some strange medical mishaps...

@MadAddictSport UniCredit has also been in the Trump Admin DOJ's crosshairs for money laundering for Iran to violate sanctions too!
@MadAddictSport They settled allegations with a $1.3B fine & agreed to hand over the #Receipts for sanctions violations with Iran, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Burma & Cuba.

@MadAddictSport The #Receipts always lead to the next case, with UniCredit it lead to a 20 year scandal in the Italian diamond markets.

One of the unsung triumphs of the Trump Admin is the application of #BigData to detecting fraud & crime.
I suspect that is what happened here after a 22-year crime spree against the military acquisition system comes to an end.
#ButNothingsHappening
Seems our alleged criminal spent 22-years winning bids to provide parts & supplies to the US military by being the low bidder. Of course he was the low bidder because his companies didn't exist & didn't manufacture the parts.
He just bought them from China & other places...
Then sent the substandard parts & the military paid up prior to testing if the parts met the standards of the contracts. When they didn't, they would reject the parts, but he would close up the shell companies when they came to collect. FOR 22 YEARS!

Draining the Swamp in Detroit!
Corruption in federally funded blight removal program run by the city of Detroit. Rigging bids for kickbacks & bribes.

#ButNothingsHappening
This case, like several others, seem to have come from a newly weaponized Special Inspector General for TARP programs that were part of the 2008-9 bail out programs!

This scheme started in 2013 until the FBI & DOJ brought charges!
How big was this program? Well almost $260M of federal tax payer dollars...

#Banking is a business of #trust. With trust gone, the biggest bank will collapse in no time.

This is a true story that happened about 30 years ago. In a village near Faridabad, Govt had acquired some land & paid the farmers in cash. One of them got 10 lacs, which was
1/n
big money at that time. As keeping the money at home was risky, this guy (let's call him "A") came to the town & deposited the entire amount into an FD in a bank.

About a week later, someone ("B") in the village told this A that he (B) had been to the same bank & saw
2/n
the Bank Manager giving out big loans to many people and if they didn't return the loan, the manager may not be able to return his (A's) money also.

The worried A immediately rushed to bank. By the time he reached, it was late evening & bank was closed. He parked himself

#Russia: Over 600 people arrested in Moscow's brutal clampdown on pro-democracy #protests today. Russians are risking life & limb for the right to fair elections, to end the ban on opposition candidates for city council. Sheer numbers show how scared the Mayor is of people power.
🗳✊#Russia #Protests: Riot police crackdown on pro-#democracy protesters in #Moscow today. Russians are protesting opposition candidates being booted from ballots. They don’t want taxation w/o representation. Sounds familiar. Video via @novaya_gazeta
#Russia #Moscow #protests: Riot police out in full force–with dogs–beating protesters on the ground. This couple asked for an ambulance for his broken ribs & a concussion. Cops refused, hauled him off to paddywagon, claiming “nobody beat you.” @mediazzzona
