This 18 year-old NYU freshman just indirectly stole $51k worth of luxury goods from a Putin and Maduro-connected Russian mining magnate.
Kaitlyn Fung was just arrested for stealing from her Russian oligarch nepobaby roommate, Aurora Agapov.
Agapov, pictured on the left here with Kaitlyn, is the daughter and granddaughter of Russian mining oligarchs Andre Agapov and Vladimir Agapov, worth tens of millions.
Andre is the President and Vladimir is the Chairman of Rusoro Mining.
Rusoro mines for gold in Venezuela under the permission of the Maduro dictatorship.
One of the items Fung stole from Agapov was this Solange Azagury 18K Ruby Ring, valued at $23,765.
TLDR; 18 year-old steals jewelry and luxury goods from her Putin-connected roommate, whose father purchased the items with the money he's earned from sucking away gold from Venezuela in collaboration with the Maduro (and previously Chavez) regimes. nypost.com/2024/06/15/us-…

Yet all four oppose the Ukraine aid that funded those projects — and they're not the only ones.
New research from AEI shows that the majority of Ukraine aid is going to 122 defense production lines across 65 congressional districts to support Ukraine's defense effort.
However, several of the representatives benefitting are vocal opponents of aid.
Rep. Bill Posey's (FL-08) district receives Ukraine aid funding for HIMARS launchers and VAMPIRE Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems munitions.
This post made a lot of people angry, but the reply section is a fascinating dive into the most prevalent anti-Ukraine talking points:
• "Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"
• "US aid is money laundering"
Neither are particularly compelling, a thread.
"Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"
Good news, they're not!
Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90% is going to Americans.
Aid is being injected directly into the economies of several states and reviving defense production capabilities that we desperately need as China rapidly builds up militarily.
The weapons we end up sending to Ukraine are being replaced domestically with modern equipment.
CODEPINK is an explicitly pro-Assad, pro-Putin, and pro-CCP organization partially bankrolled by a pro-CCP millionaire, which the New York Times recently reported.
Pelosi was obviously referring to the New York Times report + the protesters were all white women. Be serious.
I don't think people understand that Pelosi (and many other members of Congress) are very aware of CODEPINK mostly by force because CODEPINK has been shoving themselves in members' faces for decades at this point.
Imagine you had none of this context watching that video of Pelosi — did anyone not stop to think for a second that it would be very weird and random for Pelosi to tell a bunch of old white women to go back to their HQ in China for no reason? Let's use critical thinking.
