Link to english translated version of main article in the top tweet, thx @SaysDana

There's no apparent link to Kolomoisky's KY steel plant cryptocurrency biz, but there are some parallels:

Oleg Deripaska, who invested $200mil in a KY aluminum plant, partners in Russia with BitRiver which owns the largest crypto mining venue in Russia

RNC's highest-paid vendor of the 2020 election: A mystery company formed nine months ago - Digital Consulting Group made $42 million in eight months for media and marketing services. But who's behind it? by @SollenbergerRC

salon.com/2020/12/04/rnc…
The address for Digital Consulting Group LLC is 1000 N. West Street Suite 1200 Wilmington DE 19801 - the address of a Regus virtual office, used by many different businesses, so as @SollenbergerRC noted it's nearly impossible to track who is behind the company with that location

Billionaire San Francisco real estate developer Sanford Diller, enlisted the help of Elliott Broidy & lawyer Abbe Lowell in securing clemency for Berkeley psychologist Hugh Baras, who received 30-month prison sentence for tax evasion & improperly claiming Social Security benefits
Elliott Broidy's network of criminal associates is endless

But I totally missed the mark on this one

Details here:

Trump Associates Said to Have Been Scrutinized in Suspected Pardon Scheme - San Francisco billionaire sought clemency for psychologist convicted of monetary crimes, republican donor Elliott Broidy and lawyer for Jared Kushner were enlisted

Redacted docs in investigation of possible criminal bribery scheme for presidential pardon displays short name of someone convicted, appears to end in 's'

...on behalf of [_]' clemency petition

...in service of [_]' legal case

(Gates? Nicki Lum Davis?)

dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file…
Some suggest Parnas but he's been pro-Biden anti-Trump so it would be surprising

It's too early to tell but Gates went from cooperating witness to less cooperative and he wants a pardon

He knows about Manafort, Firtash & was hired by Broidy and Barrack

Great @OCCRP story on Monarch Air's past Russian org crime links & later US govt contracts w/DoD & US Marshal service witness protection

But disappointing Lily Dobrovolskaya doesn't mention @patrickLSimpson broke part of the story - Monarch witness protection scoop - in May 2019
This @OCCRP is full of great info about Monarch Air's former/current investors Jacob & David Gitman, Anatoly Golubchik, Vadim Trincher - latter 2 jailed for running gambling ring in Trump Tower
occrp.org/en/investigati…

Here's @patrickLSimpson's 2019 story
thesternfacts.com/under-trump-wi…
A fascinating detail in the OCCRP story is that Boruch “Bob” Freedman, who joined Monarch Air in 2011, is nephew of Alexander Mashkevich - who w/Patokh Chodiev, Alijan Ibragimov (aka The Trio) founded ENRC, & invested in Bayrock - a Trump Soho partner
