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

1) a springing loan made by Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC in 2012 for over $50 mil

2) Deutsche(DBTCA) loan of $25-50mil from 2012

Thread w/some info & questions on DBTCA Chicago loans Image
In 2014 DBTCA refinanced $69 mil for TIHT Chicago

@clliday found that on Nov 9, 2016 (after the election) there was a partial release of $53,730,977.65 (which presumably left balance of approx $15mil)

I'm adding some updates on prior thread below

I created the table below of the loans and major filings I found on Cook County website for TIHT Chicago starting in 2004 from Fortress & DBTCA (springing loan is not available)
