Money was laundered to Swiss bank accounts of shell companies then into the US in real estate & securities investments. I've long theorized that the Swamp draining started overseas first to drive the money into the US where DOJ could get at it easier!
Primary crimes occurred in 2012, but the Feds are finally closing in. The prosecution began in 2017 but based upon older information. What was your DOJ doing @BarackObama?
How do you gain 'respectability' so people don't notice you are laundering billions of dollars stolen from the starving people of Venezuela with the help of the socialist government?
You donate art to a museum.
A couple of photos called art makes up for starving children, right?
Shady private bankers, shell games, & the usual methods of hiding & laundering assets.
As yet unnamed conspirators in the US helped them move the money into the US & use it for Manhattan & Miami real estate...
In March 2018, DOJ asked for Swiss help in getting the #receipts for $4.5 Billion in stolen Venezuelan funds.
Seems the banker arranged the shell companies for them, wonder if they were in the #PanamaPapers
While the socialist government of Venezuela enabled these crimes, the Swiss & US governments are not rectifying the problem. Fortunately the cases are being handled by US Attorney's far from DC in Miami & Houston.
I have been talking about the preceding cases related to this one since late last year.
Wanna guess who the Venezuelan's hired in 2014 to shut down the media to prevent this issue being investigated? Fusion GPS. infodio.com/20170114/fusio…
After the 2018 election, DOJ unsealed a guilty plea from December 2017 for Alejandro Andrade for taking $1B in bribes as part of the Venezuelan money laundering & currency exchange scheme. It was one of my first #ButNothingsHappening stories but I can't find the thread...
Marc Rich's former company Glencore is also under criminal investigation for it's deals in Venezuela.
Venezeula also plays a role in the FINCEN scandals. Because there is really no plausible explanation for why FINCEN never designated the country as a primary money laundering concern. No non-Swampy explanation anyway!
How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!
Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!
Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.
Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels...
The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…
If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
