Mueller Investigation of Russian Oligarch Sinks Israeli Predictive Analytics Company

Tel Aviv-based Fifth Dimension has recently fired all of its employees. The company is chaired by Benny Gantz, the Israeli military’s former Chief of Staff

Russian Oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, once a benefactor of the recently defunct predictive analytics company Fifth Dimension Holdings Ltd., has become a burden.
<snip>

Vekselberg is a businessman and the owner of Moscow-based asset management company Renova Group. His personal wealth is valued at $14 billion. Through his U.S.-based investment fund, CNTP, Vekselberg had invested in Fifth Dimension, leading a $12 million funding round in the company in 2015.



In early 2018, Vekselberg was investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team, as part of an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. Vekselberg’s involvement in the ongoing investigation has affected Fifth Dimension by deterring customers and other investors, one person familiar with the company’s affairs said in an interview with Calcalist, speaking on terms of anonymity. - CTECH

The robber barons within the billionaire class need to be rooted out, too. It's not just Russian oligarchs trying to destabilize democracies.
