Looks like newpapers got the #receipts leaked from the Italian cops. Billions in money laundering through major banks for the ‘Ndrangheta organized crime syndicate!
Claimed to be managing $500B in accounts! #ButNothingsHappening
HT @gm2dm
Suspect denies the charges but the investigation continues.
The 'entrepreneur' had to companies in Malta identified in the #PanamaPapers & the records show laundering through some of the usual suspect countries...
Finding & using corrupt bankers at big international banks to move the money into safe countries to conceal it & protect the money.
He was moving the money through Denmark's national bank who has been linked to a lot of the #ButNothingsHappening cases. His partners wanted more lawyers involved to add attorney client privilege claims to hide the corruption.
His partners wanted to hide the money in Barclays & HSBC in London or Hong Kong as they felt those banks & authorities would look the other way more than Denmark.
Even caught the suspect joking about the safety of moving his company to Malta where money laundering was protected by Swampy politicians. And where journalists get killed for trying to drain the Swamp like #DaphneCaruanaGalizia

Finally got a little time to read Judge Sullivan's ruling on the #GenFlynn case.
Read about 12 pages & saw nothing new but I think it gives an explanation for the pardon, to prevent the judge from ruling on DOJ's "Presumption of Regularity" in the case.
courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Presumption of Regularity is legal principle that a judge must accept the word of a federal agent or prosecutor unless he has evidence to refute what the fed says.

It's ironclad legal principle & DOJ made it a major problem in this case as I'll explain.
From 11/30/17 until 1/29/20 both the DOJ & Flynn's defense agreed that Flynn was guilty of the crime. During which time Van Grack & the SCO filed a lot of documents attesting to Flynn's guilt without rebuttal. Making that the record of the case, with a Presumption of Regularity.

With the Christine Fang honey trap & fund raising for Democrat politicians being revealed, wonder if the researchers on Twitter can identify the 2 midwestern mayors she slept with...

axios.com/china-spy-cali…
Can't tell if they are hinting there are 4 officials she is known to have slept with. They note 2 mayors & 1 former elected official. Then say FBI surveillance caught her on tape with 1 of the mayors & another elected officials. Are they the former elected official or a 4th one?
Nevermind on the former elected official, it seems they are the second source confirming the 3 politicians she was reportedly sleeping with.

DOJ charges former Deputy Mayor & aide to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti with multiple federal crimes!

#ButNothingsHappening

Raymond Chan spent his time as Deputy Mayor in charge of economic development in 2016-2017, shaking down developers. It's almost like these regulatory & approval processes were designed to help Swamp creatures get rich.
This time they were shaking down Chinese developers who were willing to pay bribes to get their projects approved.

Another indictment in the PDVSA case for bribery & money laundering associated with Venezeula's state oil company.

Natalino D’Amato is indicted & DOJ orders seizure of $45M in illicit proceeds of the scheme. Crimes were disguised as contracts. #ButNothingsHappening
Press release says he laundered the cash into FLorida businesses that he owned. A quick search found these entities listed...
search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/Corpor…
Seems D'Amato took a cut of $45M on $160M being laundered through his businesses, passing on the rest to others not identified in the indictment. But at least some of it was used on behalf of Venezuelan officials, wonder if this was some of the cash donated to US politicians?

Huge victory for the IRS over Coca Cola in case of off shoring IP ownership & transferring profit out of the US to the divisions owning the intellectual property to avoid US taxes on the profits. Coke now owes $3.4B in taxes for Coke!
#ButNothingsHappening

This is a common tax avoidance scheme, internally the company awards the intellectual property rights to a foreign division of the company. Then the US divisions pay royalties or profit shares to that foreign division, lowering their profits in the US.
It is a very common scheme.
Just as important, the IRS got a ruling that a Coca Cola friendly agreement with the IRS in 1996 covering prior years, does not bind the IRS to accepting the accounting formulas for every years since 1996. They avoided $3.4B in taxes they avoided by using that scheme...

There is one main problem with this idea, too many of the Democrat base has been taught that not loving our country is the morally superior position. They stopped loving America long before Trump came along. Trump is just exposing this hypocrisy with his America First rhetoric.
When Reagan tied together patriotism & America's success, many Democratic Party voters were not yet anti-American. Some were there, but patriotic rhetoric from Reagan in the 80s called to many Democrat voters & won them over for his 1984 landslide.
Since that time, Dems have focused very hard on convincing their voters that a successful America is not the solution to their problems; but that America's success is a threat to them. That they are not part of America & will miss out on the fruits of American success.
