Parnas & Fruman assoc David Correia allegedly told friends via text he was in Vienna w/ Firtash for a week over the summer 2019 (had returned to US by mid 8/19), and that he was in Dubai w/ Firtash’s Dubai-based atty to “close a deal w/Firtash” on 10/7/19. cnn.com/2019/12/23/pol…
"Correia used ME expert/frequent Fox contributor Walid Phares to help set up a meeting in the summer of 2018 w/ Okba Haftar, the son of renegade Libyan general Khalifa Haftar, according to Phares. The meeting was a general discussion about doing business in Libya, Phares," said."
"...the Dubai-based lawyer, Ralph Isenegger, said...the interest-bearing loan was a personal biz transaction.

“The funds were entirely mine and I was not acting in this matter at the request of or on behalf of any of my clients or indeed anyone else,”

reut.rs/2Q4oM2e
"Isenegger [Firtash's lawyer] said Lev and Svetlana Parnas had requested the $1 million loan in August this year and that it was extended to them in five installments of $200,000 with a 5% interest rate. The loan is repayable in full by 2024, he added."
"...the account into which the payment was deposited was in the name of Parnas’ wife.

Prosecutors said in court the loan was meant for Parnas, not his wife. They said it was not plausible the lawyer would extend “an unsecured, undocumented loan to a housewife with no assets.”
"“This was a personal business transaction between myself and Lev and Svetlana Parnas...Mr Parnas asked to keep the loan confidential, so I told no one else about it.”
This lie (above) unraveled tonight....

"Parnas connected Firtash to a pair of US lawyers with ties to the Trump administration: Giuliani's close friends, Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing.... "
"...Parnas [NOT THE WIFE] was paid $200,000 for a four-month contract to be an interpreter for Firtash, according to Parnas' lawyer Joseph A. Bondy, who said in court that Parnas split the money with Correia."

cnn.com/2019/12/23/pol…
"As Correia explained...an initial payment, which was enough to fund priv jet travel, bodyguards and SUVs, was a mix of a "thank you" for an introduction to DiGenova and Toensing, who then advocated for Firtash to AG Barr, and a payment for Parnas' work as an interpreter."
.@SaladOilSwindle - remember the distribution of payments you laid out?

Damn.
@SaladOilSwindle Switching gears a bit, back to an earlier AP article re Parnas mortgages/loans...

abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireSto…
@SaladOilSwindle "Details of the source of the funds only emerged earlier this year as part of a long-running, unrelated lawsuit involving the estate of a Navy veteran from New York who accused Parnas of defrauding him out of nearly half a million dollars in loans and investments...."
@SaladOilSwindle "Those records and deed filings in FL reviewed by The AP show the money for the $32K donation to the Trump PAC on 5/17/18, came from the same corp entity that two days earlier received the proceeds from a $3M priv mortgage...."
@SaladOilSwindle "That loan was secured by a luxury high-rise condo unit in North Miami Beach owned by a separate corporation tied to Fruman.

More than half of the proceeds from the $3 million loan appear to have been used to pay off a prior bank mortgage on Fruman's condo..."
"...with the remaining $1.2 million wired from a Miami lawyer's trust account to a corporate entity controlled by Parnas called Aaron Investments I.

Wire transfer records show $325,000 was then wired from Aaron Investments I to America First Action, the Trump PAC."
"Four days after that donation, Parnas posted a photo of himself and Fruman at an intimate "Power Breakfast!!!" with Donald Trump Jr. at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge (5/21/18)."

"Despite receiving the seven-figure payout last year from the condo loan, court records indicate Parnas and Fruman were still scrambling for money."

???
Watch this video of Vicky Ward...think Lev Parnas is feeding her info through his attorney, like perhaps Michael Cohen did?

I think he is, just my two cents, lol. Watch and decide for yourself. I think she's great, btw:

Parnas and Hannity in msgs on 10/5/19: confirming interview of Shokin in Vienna "on Monday," which is the same day Parnas assoc Correia is in Vienna, meeting with Firtash's Dubai-based attorney to "close a deal with Firtash" on 10/7/19.

Restating (in case the text disappears): Sean Hannity was to interview Shokin on Fox, the exact same Monday, 10/7/19, that David Correia was meeting with Dmitry Firtash’s Dubai-based atty to close a deal with Firtash. Image
Image
Why it's relevant: Shokin is the corrupt Ukrainian official who signed the affidavit for Firtash. Firtash has axe to grind with Biden.

What was the deal that was to be finalized with Firtash's lawyer that Monday that the interview was supposed to occur?

Of course the interview didn't happen, and in jumps Rudy:

Trump Media saved in 2022 by Russian-American under criminal investigation
Exclusive: Trump’s social media company went public relying partly on loans from trust managed by person of interest to prosecutors theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
ES Family Trust operated like a shell company for a Russian-American businessman named Anton Postolnikov, who co-owns Paxum Bank and has been a subject of a years-long joint federal criminal investigation by the FBI and DHS.
Paxum Bank does not offer loans in the US as it lacks a US banking license and is not regulated by the FDIC. Postolnikov appears to have used the trust to loan money to help save Trump Media – and the Truth Social platform – because his bank itself could not furnish the loan.
