Just saw this 2018 story on CA-based Grabr, founded by Daria Rebenok & Artem Fedyaev

Funders include

Peter Thiel's Founders Fund

Konstantin Nikolaev, Russian railroad billionaire & Maria Butina funder

Alexey Repik, Russian pharmaceutical magnate, attended Trump inauguration
Noticed 👆 while searching for news on Alexey Repik, who @MacFinn44 brought to my attention as he frequently tracks his flights. Repik's plane was in Maine recently (Rohrabacher now lives there, though there's no indication of any links between the two)

Interesting, also HT @MacFinn44 - Rohrabacher's company registered to lobby for Linear Therapies related to COVID-19

Some more details about Rohrabacher's latest gig and links to Stone and Giuliani from @MountainsStars

Early 2020 Dana Rohrabacher lobbied VP Pence for coronavirus company Linear Therapies, whose president Tim Yale has known Rohrabacher for 20 yrs

Yale worked for super PAC started by Roger Stone

Yale partnered w/Giuliani on documentary on Hunter Biden

ocregister.com/2020/06/03/dan…
Firm Rohrabacher lobbied for earlier this year also has links to Flynn

"Also on the Linear Therapies team as vice president is Phil Oakley. He’s a former Army intelligence analyst who worked with Michael Flynn’s lobbying firm Flynn Intel Group"

ocregister.com/2020/06/03/dan…
I can't find incorporation info for Linear Therapies, but the tel # on their website

lineartherapies.com

Is same # listed for Linear Therapies VP Phil Oakley, at the company i3federal where Oakley is a sales exec

Oakley is also founder of i3 LLC

i3federal.com/wordpressi3fed…
Michael Flynn was a consultant for Phil Oakley's I3 Integrative Creative Solutions, LLC

projects.propublica.org/trump-town/org…

opencorporates.com/companies/us_v…
Phil Oakley, former Flynn Intel Group partner, and working w/Tim Yale at Linear Therapies (hired Rohrabacher as lobbyist) - runs i3 Integrative Creative Solutions, which announced 2017 agreement w/Bravatek on GSA govt contract

bravatek.com/bravatek-execu…
In April 2020 the SEC temporarily suspended Bravatek trading because of questions on accuracy of statements BVTK made in press releases and social media posts, regarding third party tests of partner (Z System) disinfectant against COVID-19

sec.gov/litigation/sus…
In 2018 thread @patrickLSimpson wrote about Bravatek CEO Thomas Cellucci

Bravatek was previously Ecrypt Technologies until 2015

Cellucci became CEO in 2014, Curt Weldon was Chairman of Ecrypt's board from 2011 until 2015, when Cellucci took his role

In June 2020 Phil Oakley's i3 Federal was awarded nearly $10 million contract by HHS, without competition, for data-sharing platform for tracking its pandemic relief payments & grants to health care providers

fedscoop.com/hhs-cares-act-…
Phil Oakley also runs Quaestor Federal Consulting, LLC, where Flynn was an advisor

Who invested in Trump Media?

An April SEC filing for Trump Media reveals new details on early investors in Trump’s company - including ex FL AG Pam Bondi who owns 100,000+ shares worth several million dollars and her brother advised on the deal. My latest

A new name in the Trump Media Apr S-1 Registration Statement is lawyer Michael Milkersen with 300,000+ shares (and several hundred thousand founder and ARC shares) making him one of the largest investors. It's not clear how he became involved in the deal.
newstracs.com/april-sec-fili…
A new name in the alternative financing group is 'Washington Muse Investments SPC' which has a Cayman Islands address and owns 4,166,666 shares and 1,388,888 warrants, making it one of the top owners - but there is almost no public info on this company.
