FBI is at DC home of Oleg Deripaska👀
Not sure if this is related but this October 2019 Bloomberg story described raid on Oleg Deripaska-Linked real estate company Terra Services Ltd, US prosecutors were seeking filings in criminal probe, laundering investigation grew out of Mueller's work

The FBI are at Oleg Deripaska's DC mansion which WaPo story is owned by Hestia International and operated by Gracetown Inc - the chief exec of Gracetown is Graham Bonham-Carter who worked for Terra Services

Here's the 2017 WaPo story on Deripaska's DC home

The Russian billionaire next door: Putin ally is tied to one of D.C.’s swankiest mansions

washingtonpost.com/politics/the-r…
In 2020 the UK judge said Terra can’t keep docs from US investigators, police raid that seized docs was legal & US investigation goes beyond Manafort & Gates

The FBI law enforcement activity at the Washington DC home of Russia oligarch Oleg Deripaska is connected to a federal investigation out of New York

cnn.com/2021/10/19/pol…
Update from @ChristopherJM HT @Matthew_Shadle

Deripaska spokesman confirmed searches are underway in homes belonging to his relatives in New York and Washington. Spox said Deripaska doesn't own the homes but searches related to US sanctions against him

FBI agents investigating whether Oleg Deripaska violated U.S. sanctions searched homes he has used in New York and Washington DC

In 2018 the Treasury Dept imposed sanctions against Deripaska and his aluminum company EN+ Group, Rusal and other subsidiaries

Link to 2018 sanctions against Deripaska, EN+ Group, Rusal and some of his other companies and other Russian oligarchs and entities

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
From May 2018 Rusal - which was 48% owned by Oleg Deripaska's EN+ - was set to escape sanctions after Treasury amends Russia blacklist - Aluminum giant’s owner EN+ Group was at risk of a delisting from LSE without Treasury reprieve

Dec 2018 Treasury Dept notified congress of plans to terminate sanctions on Oleg Deripaska's En+ Group, Rusal & EuroSibEnergo in 30 days


Jan 2019 Senate vote cleared way for Treasury Dept to remove Deripaska's Rusal from blacklist

Thread on Deripaska's company Rusal and its investment in Braidy Industries in Kentucky, at the time run by Craig Bouchard who years before did prior business with Russian company Severstal

Deripaska transferred many of his company shares and ownership in property to others, including relatives, to avoid complications from sanctions

I've been following Deripaska/Rusal for years, some info in thread on how Rusal has been a key hub of people close to Putin including Viktor Vekselberg, Len Blavatnik & Matthias Warnig, Deputy Chairman of Rosneft and Managing Director of Nord Stream 2 AG

Information from @carolecadwalla on Deripaska's UK links

A recent disappointing update on the board of EN+

This is a wild story unfolding

Martin Shkreli - who was convicted of securities fraud, spent 6 years in jail, and fined $70 million - claims that he and Barron Trump are responsible for a mysterious Trump-branded meme cryptocurrency called Trump Coin

newrepublic.com/post/182900/ma…
Trump Coin was registered on the Solana blockchain platform this past week with the DJT symbol

Data analytics firm Arkham Intelligence offered $150,000 to whoever discovered who was behind the asset

@ZachXBT posted this thread identifying Mrtin Shkreli

There's no proof Barron was involved - but an interesting item in @zachxbt thread

Someone potentially involved in Trump Coin/DJT with initials CWR aka Cameron Roxborough went to school with Barron and his dad was supposedly the pilot for Jeffrey Epstein

Former Trump associate Felix Sater tells NY jury he wasn’t bothered by ‘dirty’ money

Sater is accused of helping a Kazakh man Ilyas Khrapunov launder money through US real estate including Trump SoHo condos. Sater allegedly made millions in the process.

gazettextra.com/news/nation_wo…
Felix Sater on Tuesday told a federal jury in Manhattan that he knowingly lied when he helped the wealthy Kazakh, Ilyas Khrapunov, conceal his role in the lucrative deals to dodge a worldwide freezing order that tied up his family’s assets.

gazettextra.com/news/nation_wo…
The suit was filed by the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, and BTA Bank. They claim Felix Sater helped Khrapunov launder a portion of $6 billion allegedly looted from BTA by Ilyas Khrapunov's father-in-law, former BTA Chairman Mukhtar Ablyazov.

How large Trump PACs are spending

I analyzed thousands of payments made by 6 large PACs supporting Trump and identified recipients paid over $1 million from 2023 to April 2024

More than half the payments went to other PACs, to the RNC, or for legal work

Omeed Malik fundraises for Trump and invests in ‘patriotic’ ‘anti-woke’ businesses including one with Cambridge Analytica funder Rebekah Mercer that funded Tucker Carlson

My latest on Malik, who was once known as a democrat, and his right wing businesses:
newstracs.com/trump-donor-om…
In April Omeed Malik dined with Trump, Rebekah & Robert Mercer and co-chaired a Trump fundraiser

Malik, Rebekah Mercer and Christopher Buskirk launched 1789 Capital and lead a $15 million seed round for Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel’s new media company
newstracs.com/trump-donor-om…
Malik founded Colombier Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which merged with PublicSquare (PSQ Holding) in 2023.

This year PublicSquare (a right-wing ‘patriotic’ version of Amazon) acquired firearms financing company Credova.
