Learn how a Russian oligarch who has been called a "front" for Russian intelligence moved $330,000,000 from his bank into Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americans in New York with no explanation: forensicnews.net/russian-intell…
It's right here in black and white (and Excel green). An internal Deutsche Bank document showing 241.7 million euros from Yugra Bank in Russia.
They just pulled off the biggest hack of the US government in history. Perhaps we should start looking into Russian intelligence-connected money that flowed into New York.
And oh by the way, Putin himself ordered Yugra Bank shut down and the oligarch arrested. He didn't do that for fun.

I'm immensely proud of the hard-hitting work the @forensicnewsnet team has done this year. Here are some highlights of some of our reporting in 2020:
First, @jesskcoleman, @robertjdenault, @ImagineWorldas1 and I broke the news that Russian state-owned Gazprombank moved over half a billion dollars into Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in New York by 2013, even though they had no US presence forensicnews.net/russian-govern…
.@ImagineWorldas1 warned about the Trump administrations cuts to public health programs and other critical government functions in the early days of the pandemic: forensicnews.net/trumps-botched…

NEW: I can report that NSO Group's "US branch" Westbridge Technologies received loans worth up to $265,000,000 from Credit Suisse's Cayman Islands branch. NSO has repeatedly sworn in court that they had no US operations. Image
Westbridge Technologies and OSY Technologies (both in the NSO Group of companies) were co-borrowers on the loans. Image
What's more: SEC filings show that Westbridge Technologies had $30,000,000 under management with an alternative investment manager. This indicates that Westbridge did indeed draw down on the loan and had significant capital in the US. Image

No one has ever explained this. And no other media outlet has pressed for answers. forensicnews.net/russian-govern…
Why did a Russian government bank move over half a billion dollars into New York when they had ZERO US presence (office, subsidiaries, etc)?
That's 16,000,000,000 rubles. With no explanation.

A Russian oligarch who offered dirt on the Clintons shipped Trump an expensive painting as Russian intelligence was hacking the DNC and the Clintons.
After the Russians help delivered the election to Trump, a former Russian spy and head of a large state-owned bank gave Kushner a painting too. We can keep going.
When Russian intelligence was pushing dirt on the Bidens, Giuliani met with a Russian real estate developer who built the Kremlin and got...... this? forensicnews.net/amid-hunt-for-…

I take foreign intelligence influence in the US very seriously. If the right-hand-man of a US Senator (on the Intel Committee!!) manages the money for an ex-Israeli intelligence officer, yeah, there's a problem. That's just one of the parts of this piece.
That aide is currently doing the following things:

-Helping the ex-Israeli intelligence officer with his investments
-Managing the Senator's PACs and family business.

It's a conflict. I don't care who it is.
A parallel would be this:

A GOP senator's 30 year aide who manages the senator's political and personal businesses working with an ex-Russian intelligence officer who has a company that hacks journalists. There's a problem here.
