Former President of Maryland-Based transportation company indicted on 11 counts related to Foreign Bribery, Fraud and Money Laundering Scheme - Mark Lambert allegedly paid bribes to a Russian official to win nuclear fuel transportation contracts
justice.gov/opa/pr/former-…
From 2009-2014 Lambert allegedly conspired with Vadim Mikerin to secure business with TENEX, the US subsidiary of Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporate ROSATOM
ROSATOM is the nuclear company mentioned as part of a consortium deal that Michael Flynn was working on with Alex Copson during the inauguration as part of a "Trump/Putin ME Marshall Plan" concept
ROSATOM has been actively signing deals around the world - thread:
Adding a bit more about Flynn biz partner Alex Copson with ACU Strategic Partners - in '16 Copson pursued a US/Russia partnership on a nuclear deal in Alabama
The US/Russia nuclear deal Flynn's business partner Copson was pursuing in Alabama in 2016 expected support from Alabama's senators (Jeff Sessions & Richard Shelby) & the next presidential administration to move the project forward

💥Big addition to my thread 👆🏼 on yesterday's DOJ indictment of Mark Lambert for foreign bribery, fraud, $ laundering w/Tenex & Russia's nuclear company ROSATOM: per this 2014 statement, this case was previously led by Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe

Another connection to ROSATOM from @grantstern - Carter Page Met Russian Politician Behind Uranium One Deal During Trump Campaign

Great point by @Delavegalaw about international scope of this case
In addition to Cyprus, the indictment release thanks law enforcement colleagues in Switzerland and Latvia as well

This excellent film on Viktor Yanukovych (who Manafort & Akhmetov both supported) and $ allegedly stolen when he was ousted from Ukraine's presidency and a network used by Ukrainian & Russian oligarchs, highlights Latvia as a key center for $ laundering
There's no evident connection from recent bribery indictment to Akhmetov or Yanukovych, but interesting when these cases lead to similar financial centers where financial fraud is common, including Latvia and as @Delavegalaw noted Cyprus
A quick note - while my thread above highlights several stories/connections related to Rosatom, I have not yet seen a direct connection from Flynn, Trump or any Trump associate to the indictment or those involved in the Tenex/Rosatom bribery case

Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion
nypost.com/2019/01/08/mos…
I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

1. THREAD: This piece came out by Paul Sperry from RealClearInvestigations. I appreciate and respect the author very much. He has done fantastic work, and what I am about to outline for you in no way changes my opinions in that regard. realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/…
2. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out some of the inconsistencies and issues with this grim outlook on where we are in terms of the slow trek of justice against the criminals who have been
operating unchecked for decades.

Senator Grassley has the entire case laid out in this list of names-- 👇 I've spent the better part of 3 days looking at connections. Was it an anti-Magnitsky Act campaign all along? Framed by Russians with DNC, U.K. & Aussie help? Grassley knows. #ReleaseTheMemo 👌👍🐍
If you take Sen. Grassley's list and began cross referencing with the names in the President's E.O. of 12/21/17, namely, Dan Gertler; Sergey Kusiuk; Goulnora Islamovna Karimova; Slobodon Tesic, and Artem Chayka, the picture begins to emerge. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
I want to do a thread on this, but it would require a hundred or more. It's that complicated. In Senator Grassley's list there is a tale that will shock the world. Someone more skilled than I am is going to sell a gazillion books if this story is ever fully revealed.

1) This deserves a #UraniumOne thread. Mark Lambert was the one who had the license to import & export uranium for TENEX, the Russian Nuclear Agency.

cc: @Imperator_Rex3, @drawandstrike
2) Big question: Why uranium is being exported to Russia? Who's exporting it?
3) The uranium is being exported by ConverDyn to Tenex.

ConverDyn owns the Honeywell uranium conversion facility in Metropolis, IL.

This facility converts yellow cake (U3O8) to uranium hexafluoride (UF6).
