FBI & DOJ targeting Venezuelan bankers in $4.5 Billion #moneylaundering scheme.
Shady loans to state owned oil companies. Rig exchange rate markets for the payments to pay back much more than the loans were worth. #ButNothingsHappening
amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…
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!

Breaking!
Neustar's access to government networks was worse than we thought!
And I thought they had everything!

It appears Neustar was subcontracted for EOP by Verisign, Inc. who had the federal contract to provide DNS services for ALL .gov websites!
#ButNothingsHappening
Verisign Inc. was providing DNS services for the entire .gov system under a contract with GSA.
The earliest contract that makes clear that they are managing the .gov domain for the federal government is in 2010 or 2011, but there are contracts earlier.
usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD…
Here is the contract from 2016 that was recently extended until June of 2022.
In 2014 when Neustar got access to do DNS services at the Executive Office of the President, Verisign was the contractor for all .gov domains. If Neustar was a subcontractor, it was for Verisign.

Durham's response to Sussmann's motion to strike Durham's notification of conflicts of interest hearing request by Durham.

courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Durham says they shared a very limited amount of factual detail to make the judge aware of the conflict.
How much more do they have?

Last week they said the law firm says Bosworth wasn't involved but they want the judge to ask him in person.
Durham then takes a shot at the fake news people on both the left & the right who have "overstated, understated, or misinterpreted facts" from his motion!

Hi Marcy!

The worlds Swampiest commodities firm Glencore warns investors it is setting aside $1.5 Billion to pay fines in the US, UK & Brazil over corruption!
Glencore was run for 40+ years by Marc Rich of Clinton Pardon infamy.
They're connected to Russiagate too
#ButNothingsHappening
Glencore connects to almost every Swamp on the planet, which is why Clinton had to pardon Marc Rich to sabotage decades of cases prior to 2001.
But they kept doing the same deals, including involvement in Chad.
These prosecutions stem from cases as far back as 2009, with various executives being flipped along the way.

As expected, Sussmann's attorney's filed their motion for dismissal today.
Focusing on the materiality of his lies to the FBI, it's not going to work but this is meant for public consumption not the judge.
Let's see if he forces Durham to reveal more!
courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
But Sussmann did provide a false tip, the Alfa Bank information was false. At a minimum Sussmann knew the results were misleading & he was attempting to get the FBI to investigate Trump so he could leak that to the media & influence the 2016 election.
Judges almost always leave these decision to the trial & don't dismiss cases before the evidence is presented.

Another example of the #CollegeAdmission scandal revealing parents that may be linked to other crime.
Gamal Abdelaziz was convicted of bribery for admissions.
But he's a Wynn Casino exec who used to run their Macau casino. Macau is a Chinese money laundering hub.
I found a lot of examples where these parents were linked to other criminal activity, including a $1B heathcare fraud case in Florida.

Wow, Charlie Savage saying @nytimes readers aren't smart enough to understand the issues so they aren't covering it up. They just aren't covering it because their readers can't handle the truth because it is too complex.
So just tell them a fairy tale that it is misinformation.
@nytimes Where it gets interesting is that it is NYT's who started the story that Sussmann gave the CIA information from spying upon the White House.
Were they throwing Sussmann under the bus to distract from a bigger story?
This could all be false information trying to spin the NYTimes. But the researchers are claiming they were spying on the Obama White House, not the Trump White House, so why take that to CIA in Feb. 2017?
