CEO, Former President & Chief Counsel for Barcelona soccer team arrested for paying for Fusion GPS style fake news & social media campaigns against players they wanted to damage. #ButNothingsHappening
This is being investigated by the Spanish financial crimes unit, so don’t be surprised if this revolves around money laundering issue. Soccer has been notorious for laundering cash through player contracts, endorsements, sponsorships, & broadcasting rights. Image
Barca of course brought in one of the global auditing firms to ‘clear’ them of the allegations.
I imagine any auditor who couldn’t find financial corruption in a major soccer team wasn’t really looking. Apparently the police found it though! Image
Ah the ole fire the guy responsible & claim his bosses didn’t know & then quietly rehire him trick!

Note those are candidates to be President of the soccer team, not politicians. I guess they didn’t want new execs that might drain their Swamp... Image

Boy the media has missed this story for 3 days!

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles pleads guilty for paying $3.5M bribes to UAW officials from 2009-2016 and no one covers it? DOJ even tweets it out using their initials so no one notices it.

#ButNothingsHappening
I have been following this case for a long time as UAW officials were subjected to raids, indictments & then started pleading guilty.
Pending approval by the court, a monitor will be appointed to supervise Chrysler Fiat's labor relations to prevent corruption.

I'm on the Kevin Clinesmith hearing conference call. Sentencing for falsely editing a CIA email that confirmed Page was a CIA source in order to get a FISA renewal.

#Clinesmith I'm hoping @carterwpage gets to reveal a few things in his statement!

#ButNothingsHappening
Judge Boasberg is hearing this case. I think Boasberg should be recused from the case is also the President Judge of the FISA Court who is forcing FBI to conduct reforms of their FISA Application process to prevent such false information being given to the FISA court.
Why would Carter Page pick McAdoo-Gordon to represent him?

She's a clown...

Not that type of clown, but one that isn't taken seriously.

Another day, another Wirecard story!

Seems German prosecutors chose not to get warrants to arrest the executives when news broke that more than $2B in cash was missing from the company. #ButNothingsHappening
ft.com/content/ed2e3f…
This story is broken by Financial Times, who exposed Wirecard in the first place. But German regulators, authorities, & the auditors all sided with the crooks at Wirecard & even opened criminal cases against FT reporters for allegedly colluding with investors shorting the stock.
German authorities claiming that when the $2B+ in money came up missing, that they never suspected that there might be fraud or embezzlement going on. Only after they let the crooks get away did that occur to them...

Seems the people trying to block the Gamestop issue are pointing to German regulators stopping short selling of Wirecard as their example of why short selling is good & regulations against it are bad! Really? Wirecard has been in the news a lot this week but most is paywalled...
In addition to the German regulators protecting Wirecard from short sellers who knew it was bankrupt, there was a German federal regulator fired for insider trading based on his knowledge of the Wirecard issues. German coverage only #ButNothingsHappening. wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/wi…
Then we have a member of the media former "Bild" editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann and a former Defense Minister & Economics Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg doing Swampy lobbying & public relations for Wirecard.

More shady arms deals buried by firms with shady transactions in the #FinCENFiles.

#ButNothingsHappening
English front companies buying Ukrainian helicopters with money laundered through tax havens & secret bank accounts...
This shady deal was for $2M in 2012, wonder if any Swamp creatures were involved in this deal or hiding it.

Of course the money which looks like a kickback, went through Deutsche Bank & from a Romanian company.

Looks like a #ButNothingsHappening case has reached the top of the central bank of Lebanon!
The case also involves a casino & an airline that the bank was heavily invested in.
Looks like the airline bought a lot of Airbus jets while Airbus was paying bribes to executives & government officials will bids over Boeing.
