NEW: Who Murdered Billionaire Epstein pal Les Wexner's lawyer?

Some questions about Epstein's activities in the 1990s may be answered by what an unsolved murder investigation reveals about Wexner's business before he met Epstein

From me & @WillBredderman
thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
In 1985 a day before lawyer Arthur Shapiro was set to testify before a grand jury for dodging taxes he was murdered

Bob Fitrakis published findings of a 1991 police report that said Shapiro worked on The Limited account and looked at Wexner associates
thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
A suspect was identified, Wexner isn't accused of any involvement in the murder

The memo shows links from Wexner associates to others allegedly involved w/organized crime

New research shows Epstein named in 1990s dissolution docs for 2 companies in memo

thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
The 1991 Shapiro memo noted Wexner controlled Samax Trading (later renamed Lewex Inc) that acquired Omni Exploration & mentioned another Wexner co PFI Leasing

Dissolution filings for Lewex (1992) and PFI (1990) list Jeffrey Epstein as an officer

thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
Wexner reportedly met Epstein years after the unsolved Shapiro murder

New research on Shapiro investigation reveals new info on Wexner's early business & Epstein's role a few years later as officer on dissolution docs at companies set up by Shapiro's firm
thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
I started researching this story after finding a 2010 FBI interview on Shapiro homicide in FBI file of Epstein's former butler Alfredo Rodriguez (info on Shapiro appears unrelated to Epstein) and thanks to a researcher who found Epstein dissolution filings
I had become aware of the unsolved Shapiro homicide after @TheViewFromLL2 shared out this article by Bob Fitrakis

Colombians held in Haitian assassination say they were hired by FL firm CTU Security run by Venezuelan émigré Antonio Enmanuel Intriago Valera

Interesting details on Intriago who is authorized by the state to provide security services & to carry a firearm
tampabay.com/news/florida/2…
Intriago’s CTU is formally registered as Counter Terrorist Unit Federal Academy LLC and lists a member named Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, who ran a now-defunct security firm called Taktical Consulting Corp.

tampabay.com/news/florida/2…
Intriago and his now ex-wife owned a South FL newspaper company Prensa Libre Newspaper Corp. 2003-2009

Nothing indicates Intriago had the money or scope to train dozens of private soldiers to raid the private residence of the Haitian president & kill him

Our infrastructure is not ready for severe weather

Meanwhile, most of the GOP is denying climate change, fighting against the infrastructure bill and as @maddow noted last night, their primary focus is on the big lie and launching an audit in PA of the 2020 election 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd - Termination of appointment of Allen Weisselberg as a director 8 July 2021

Is Weisselberg the new Sater? Trump on Sater: “If he were sitting in the room right now I really wouldn't know what he looked like”

…te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC2921…
The removal process for US companies will be a bit more complicated - Allen Weisselberg is currently (or was previously) listed as an officer on 180 companies (1 with jurisdiction in the UK (noted in tweet above), 3 in Panama and the rest in the US)

opencorporates.com/officers?utf8=…
Correction to tweet - I should have said Allen Weisselberg is listed as an officer 181 times - he is sometimes listed in different officer roles for the same company and may be listed on branches of related companies

NY grand jury said to return criminal indictments against Trump’s company and CFO, the first from prosecutors probing the Trump’s business dealings

The indictments against the Trump Org and CFO Allen Weisselberg will remain sealed until Thursday afternoon
washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
"Trump himself is not expected to be charged this week" ... "and no others in his orbit are expected to face imminent charges"

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
While the details of indictment are not yet know, investigators were probing allegations of unpaid taxes on fringe benefits - and also whether Trump broke the law by misleading lenders or tax authorities, or evaded taxes on forgiven debts

NY prosecutors to indict Trump Org insider - but not Trump sources say

People familiar with case said prosecutors are preparing criminal charges against Trump Org chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg & considering criminal charges against the company
reuters.com/world/us/ny-pr…
Initial charges by Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr will focus mainly on whether Weisselberg and other company officials received corporate perks and benefits, such as rent-free apartments and leased cars, that were not reported properly on their tax returns

reuters.com/world/us/ny-pr…
Prosecutors have been pressing Weisselberg, 73, to cooperate with their probe and provide testimony, so far without success. An indictment would increase that pressure. Weisselberg worked for the company since 1973 when it was run by Trump’s father, Fred
