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!
I am going to break down the OIG report on FBI SAC of NYC Counterintelligence section & link it to other cases including #Spygate & the #RussiaHoax.
If you don't know yet, Trump & others were helping FBI hunt a Russian mole in FBI, Hillary told you a hoax. oig.justice.gov/sites/default/…
This investigation began by at least 2010, when someone within FBI tipped the Russians off that FBI was tracking Russian illegal agents working in the US.
Why warn the Russians? The FBI & Russian spies were getting close to the Clintons & DNC fundraising.
While none of this is covered in the report, the FBI mole hunters at FBI started investigating to identify the new Russian spies being sent to NYC. But to find the mole, you need an asset borrowed from another agency that the FBI agents don't know.
Male-1 playing a consultant.
Ukraine became defenseless. Then Clinton rigged the 1996 Russian election to ensure Yeltsin won. Later, Clinton & Blair would rig the 2000 election for Putin. Then Blair would rig the 2004 election for Putin.
That Swampy “WE” was at risk of being exposed by money laundering investigations tracking the billion dollars a day flying from NYC to Moscow.
Yeltsin & Clinton agree to have FBI Dir Freeh protect Gore & Putin’s 2000 election campaigns by shutting it down.
If you are just learning about the Swamp creature named Leonard Leo & his control of ‘conservative’ judges who work for Fortune 500 multinational corporations instead of the American people; now is your chance to catch up.
#ButNothingsHappening
Leo’s friends then use your fake news to tell you that you should blindly support judicial rulings disguised as protecting the Constitution. When in reality, they are protecting Swampy relationships between corrupt companies & the politicians they own.
Why does your fake news want MAGA to support judges controlled by ’sleazeball’ Leonard Leo?
Because they believe that it’s very important that you support the judges who work for the Swamp.
How do they control them? Consulting fees, gifts & trips.
Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
