@AaronParnas

.@AaronParnas and I have contextualized some statements in this article /THREAD

https://twitter.com/ScottMStedman/status/1367208085589159937

First, we explained *why* banks flag adult entertainment businesses more often and how some in the industry find these behaviors to be burdensome and detrimental.

We also reiterated that the bulk of the complaints filed in these SARs are largely about Radvinsky's dealings within his own companies i.e. layering payments to other accounts owned by him, changing round-dollar amount transfers, etc. This is *not* primarily about paying models..

Secondly, we added context to the banks' concerns of underage activity, pointing readers to a BBC study that found such activity on OnlyFans and elsewhere.

In addition to the study, we again referred to our previous piece in 2020 wherein we signed up for an account on OnlyFans and were never asked to provide ID.

My DMs remain open and my Signal is 6172176295.

THREAD/ Watch this space. I've been told by multiple people that Akhavan is the lynchpin of Wirecard's massive fraud in the US. wsj.com/articles/men-a…

From WSJ: "The government also recently indicated, in a pretrial filing related to a grand-jury subpoena sent to Mastercard, that there is a “broader, ongoing criminal investigation into other individuals and conducted related to, but not encompassed by, the charged scheme.”"

I reported last month that investigators are zeroing-in on Akhavan in the Wirecard investigation. It is massive and complex. I acquired Suspicious Activity Reports on Akhavan: forensicnews.net/us-authorities…

Now, @sternde proves that Marsalek was one of ~25 investors at a "very exclusive" meeting with Grenell capital.de/wirtschaft-pol…

NEW: AP confirms my reporting that @ProjectLincoln knew about Weaver allegations in June, 2020. apnews.com/article/john-w…

"Despite the early warning, the group took no action against Weaver and pressed forward with its high-profile work."

"multiple people familiar with the situation say that Steslow immediately raised the email with Galen, who helped manage day-to-day operations at the time, and the Lincoln Project’s corporate counsel Matthew Sanderson."
