Henning Schwarzkopf, head of international law firm pleads guilty to #MoneyLaundering that was an FBI sting against pump & dump stock market manipulation!
With a guilty plea, it is likely that he is cooperating.
One of his specialties? Asian super yachts...
#ButNothingsHappening
His guilty plea exposes him to a 20 year sentence & $250k in fines. I suspect he has a lot of assets & receipts to provide too!
His guilty plea likely breaks attorney client privilege to his super rich global clientele he enabled crimes for!
I can't wait to find out what lead the FBI to introduce their undercover agent to Henning Schwarzkopf!
His law firm operates in several places around the world with a focus on German, France, & China, but they have US operations too.

Oh wow, apparently Henning Schwarzkopf was following Ivanka Trump on Twitter & liking random tweets she made in 2010.

I'm guessing he was fishing for business...
Wonder if that is how he ended up getting caught in an FBI sting!
I don't have time to dig, but does anyone know much about the NYC South Street Seaport Museum & about 2 decades of efforts to 'save' it while enabling some real estate deals? Seems Schwarzkopf cut a deal to move one of their ships to Hamburg in 2016. nypost.com/2016/09/05/how…
Seems like a lot of Swampy government & private agencies passing money around regarding the museum & the real estate!
nytimes.com/2013/06/26/art…
Huh, there is Ivanka visiting the museum a few days after the ship Peking was closed to the public for repairs & movement to Hamburg on Henning Schwartzkopf's dime... bonvoyage.ireneeng.com/?p=34910
Seems the Howard Hughes Corporation spent years trying to redevelop the site of the museum...

And were was Henning Swarzkopf hanging out in 2013 searching for clients who wanted to set up shell companies & move money to Hong Kong to minimize taxes & take advantage of strict bank secrecy laws?

Ukraine of course! docplayer.net/18921922-Hong-…
Looks like he was teaching the Ukrainians how to evade taxes, hide money laundering in a respectable location & hide the beneficial owner of the Hong Kong based shell company...
This is a textbook for how to set up a #ButNothingsHappening case!
I hope they got all the #Receipts!
Looks like he was a major player at similar conferences in a variety of places. Including Latvia where much of the cash laundered out of former Soviet Republics went to gain access to the EU to be laundered from there.

Wonder if it is just a coincidence that Latvia's former Prime Minister was indicted this week.

Interesting, a German politician serving in the Bundestag was secretly getting abut $2M a year from a billionaire as 'consulting fees' to his law firm. Payments stopped a few months after he left office but exceeded 12M Euro from 2008-2015. #ButNothingsHappening.
It's in German but here are some snips that are translated by my browser.

Of course he hid behind attorney client privilege claiming to be bound by "strictly, legally regulated confidentiality".

Cool story bro! ImageImage
I'm guessing this Swiss billionaire didn't want Europe consolidating enough to close all the loopholes in tax evasion & money laundering laws! Image

Emilio Jose Heredia Collado, an oil trader for Swampy commodity trader Glencore has pled guilty & is cooperating with the DOJ for manipulating oil market prices to rig profitable trades for his employer. #ButNothingsHappening
morningstar.com/news/dow-jones…
Glencore's activities are under investigation in dozens of countries & since the 1970s they have played a role in everything from illegal CIA operations, UN programs, Russian arms deals, and bribery of dictators & politicians on a global scale.
The founder of Glencore, Marc Rich, was infamously pardoned by Bill Clinton on his final day in office to sabotage the prosecutions of Rich & his enablers by the Republican lead DOJ.

The spouse of the governor of Malaysia’s central bank is now under investigation for his role in the $4.5B heist from #1MDB! #ButNothingsHappening
Looks like he transferred funds from #1MDB to off shore accounts in Singapore...

Now they are looking for the #receipts!
Seems the central bank was warned about the #MoneyLaundering in 2015 & 2016 but they didn’t do anything about it.

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

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.
