All we need are some really smart prosecutors (smirk).
Am sure 2007 was a contributing factor. Way back the read an article from India Times stating there was a scam bigger than Matoff doing the manipulation It appeared to be originated from Indonesia. Since it was late, bookmarked it to read in morning. When I tried to pull it up it had disappeared.
A friend who was working for WSJ in India at the time, told me that the times was known to print or remove articles for cash.
Could the way back machine retrieve it?

Teodorin Obiang, the playboy son of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea’s leader, and the country’s current vice president, has been found guilty of corruption and sentenced to three years in jail in France.
The sentence comes after a long investigation by French authorities into allegations that Obiang embezzled $175 million from his country to buy luxury cars, real estate, and other assets in France. Those assets will now be seized. The sentence, as well as a 30 million euro fine ($34.78 million), were both suspended.
Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, 48, nicknamed Teodorin, is the son of president Teodoro Obiang, whose 38-year rule of Equatorial Guinea has earned him the title of Africa’s longest ruling leader.
The president’s son previously denied the charges. French authorities, who have for years been investigating possibly illicit purchases of French assets by African leaders, estimate that his collection of cars, real estate, and other items is worth more than €100 million (about $115 million).

European authorities have already seized some of Obiang’s assets, including a $120 million 76-meter yacht, called Ebony Ice, a fleet of some of the world’s rarest cars, and a mansion in Paris, complete with a club, gold-plated bathrooms, and original paintings by Degas and Renoir.
In a previous settlement with US authorities, Obiang handed over more than $30 million in assets, including a villa in Malibu, California, and luxury cars. He was able to keep his collection of Michael Jackson memorabilia, including a crystal glove once worn by the pop star.

Equatorial Guinea is an oil-rich former Spanish colony. More than half of the country lives in poverty. Prosecutors had alleged that Teodorin stole at least $115 million from the country while serving as agriculture minister. He was appointed vice president in 2012.

2015--Bill Clinton received in the Rabat, Morocco royal palace by HM King Mohammed VI.
ABC News reported in may 6, 2015 that ex-president Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation’s Global Initiative were being hosted at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco by one of the world's most controversial mining companies, criticized for "serious human rights violations" by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice.
The Moroccan government-owned mining company OCP operates in disputed international territory in a remote part of the Saharan Desert and the firm has been criticized for removing the resources without adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there.“
Any time the human rights of a population are systematically suppressed in this type of way it's a serious concern, and I think it's worthy of attention,” said David McKean, who has studied the issue for the RFK center.
OCP mining paid $1 million to help host the event and throw a private cocktail reception, to the dismay of human rights activists.

2016 UPDATE Pres O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco for "teaching Muslim girls"...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

===========================================
(hat tip LORIANNE) The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a bilateral US foreign aid agency established by the US Congress in 2004, applying a new philosophy toward foreign aid. It is an independent agency separate from the State Department and USAID.
The MCC Board is made up of representatives. These include the MCC's CEO, the U.S. Secretary of State who is the chair, the Secretary of Treasury who is the vice chair, the administrator of USAID, the U.S. Trade Representative and other private-sector or development-related officials.

Clinton’s ties with Lebanese-Nigerian donor Gilbert Chagoury deserved heightened scrutiny.
“The fact that a major Clinton Foundation donor was denied entry into the U.S. over ties to the terrorist group Hezbollah is deeply troubling, especially when this individual had access to top aides at Hillary Clinton’s State Department.”
"Several of the documents showed that the Department of State considered buying land for a U.S. Embassy in Nigeria from Chagoury after Clinton’s tenure ended. Clinton’s ties to Chagoury, who donated more than $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, raised several red flags after it came to light that Chagoury had been denied entry into the U.S. last year because of a suspected affiliation with Hezbollah through Lebanese politics."
BACKSTORY On March 20, 2013, William P. Franklin, an “intl realty specialist” at the State Department under then Secy Hillary emailed an American diplomat stationed in Africa, instructing her to “put on (official) Post letterhead” an “expression of interest” in purchasing property at Eko Atlantic, a massive real estate development off the coast of Lagos...... Franklin instructed that the signed letter was to be “delivered to Ronald Chagoury.”

Until the Constitution is restored you have to play by their rules or go down to defeat.
I said a long time ago it would take a tyrant to undo what the other tyrant did.
The Constitution is just another hunk of paper without people desiring to respect it.
And there’s another book, the bible, warning us what trusting in tyrants would be like.
You might have noticed that Barak Obama is the most popular man in the World and Hillary is the most popular woman, according to some groups that hands out that award.
The real solution is of course Christ but we as a nation are not going there so we are stuck with what we go. Trump can not beat the Court the Democrats and his own party to restore the Constitution unless his party sees the light.
