FEC violation of Foreign dollars in Federal Elections.

Except I believe the donor is a US citizen. Of Ukrainian extraction and Russian sympathies.

I think it should be investigated, snd it's interesting to note that he donated comparatively very little money prior to this election cycle.

He funds the campaigns, the Russians refund the expense.

changes in Banking rules for Foreign Currency movement have been changed as to who monitors these movements. Or have placed roadblocks as to protect certain transactions.

Not dollars, but certainly valuable

Fry all of 'em!

have more ways of washing money than Carter has Liver Pills.

Warner Bros Records, Atlantic, Rhino, etc. Len is a tuneful oligarch.

Capitalism is rotten to the core, and this exemplifies $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
is laundered through individuals who then "purchase " and "own" this or that company.

What a huge fucking scam the global economy is.

I think the excesses have become a bit too excessful but stealing money from the "less deserving" has always been the mana for banksters.

Always better if you can get the rule-makers into the plan. There are very few ways for anyone who is paid by their real worth to amass more than a few $100,000s. All those fine homes around the US capital (beltway bandits) are not being paid for by a reasonable salary.

When the USSR (whoopsie - rUSSiaR) and Iran and anyone else can print greenbacks, launder every currency, establish off-shore, over-there shells of corruptions (corporations), then only the stupid plebes pay taxes. Oh, by the way, April 15 is coming up for you and me - not them.

According to the website, there's an updated version here:

Why hasn't more attention been paid to this reporting?

Two weeks after the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement in October 2016 that the Russian government had directed the effort to interfere in our electoral process, McConnell's PAC accepted a $1 million donation from Blavatnik's AI-Altep Holdings. The PAC took another $1 million from Blavatnik's AI-Altep Holdings on March 30, 2017, just 10 days after former FBI Director James Comey publicly testified before the House Intelligence Committee about Russia's interference in the election.

I'm sure they were told that unless they tow 45's line he'll take them all down with him.

Many of these crooks will end up going to jail for what all they've been a part of, and regret their actions.

This may possibly be the explanation for why Mitch McConnell put the kibosh on Obama wanting to make public what the intelligence community had found out about the Russian interference in the election. Thanks for this source.

I don't know if you've noticed but both our posts were within a minute or two apart. Perhaps your post might have appeared as I was composing mine, and therefore not visible to me at the time. That being said, your post was very detailed and imparted much that I was not aware of, so thank you for providing that post.

Our government, unfortunately, is rotten to the core. We seem to be a vassal state of Russia.

Vile disgusting human beings.

They are a waste of air, water, and food.

From Trump Tower

Republicans will find a way to make excuses and cover all this up and say something like "Oh all this is horsehit because all those monies were returned"

when is someone going to jail for it? If these were state legislators, they'd be in the slammer.

Why do they let them get away with everything before they do anything about it?

He is killing our state.

They're dirty too. That's for damned sure.

This needs a lot more attention.

Another piece of the puzzle confirmed.

Thank you for finding and posting it, cattledog.

He loves bank money. Doesn’t matter from which one he gets it.

I know he's in on the take.

Blavatnik's relationships with Russian oligarchs close to Putin, particularly Oleg Deripaska, should be worrisome for Trump and the six GOP leaders who took Blavatnik's money during the 2016 presidential campaign. Lucky for them no one has noticed. Yet.

Oleg Deripaska is the founder and majority owner of RUSAL, the world's second largest aluminum company, based in Russia. Len Blavatnik owns a significant stake in RUSAL and served on its Board until November 10, 2016, two days after Donald Trump was elected.
Deripaska controls RUSAL with a 48 percent majority stake through his holding company, EN+ Group, and the Russian government owns 4.35 percent stake of EN+ Group through its second-largest state owned bank, VTB. VTB was exposed in the Panama papers in 2016for facilitating the flow of billions of dollars to offshore companies linked to Vladimir Putin and is under sanctions by the U.S. government.

Deripaska has been closely connected to the Kremlin since he married into Boris Yeltsin's family in 2001, which literally includes him in the Russian clan known as "The Family."According to the Associated Press, starting in 2006, Deripaska made annual payments of $10 million to Paul Manafort through the Bank of Cyprus to advance Putin's global agenda.


Len Blavatnik's co-owner in RUSAL is his long-time business partner, Viktor Vekselberg, another Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. Blavatnik and Vekselberg hold their 15.8 percent joint stake in RUSAL in the name of Sual Partners, their offshore company in the Bahamas. Vekselberg also happens to be the largest shareholder in the Bank of Cyprus.
Another oligarch with close ties to Putin, Dmitry Rybolovlev, owns a 3.3 percent stake in the Bank of Cyprus. Rybolovlev is known as "Russia's Fertilizer King" and has been in the spotlight for several months as the purchaser of Trump's 60,000 square-foot mansion in Palm Beach. Rybolovlev bought the estate for $54 million more than Trump paid for the property at the bottom of the crash in the U.S. real estate market.
