Reputed federal informant, whistleblower found dead in L.A. after he's reported missing
NBC News ^ | April 27, 2022 | Tim Stelloh

A reputed federal informant and whistleblower who went missing after reportedly turning over a trove of secret files about Deutsche Bank was found dead at a Los Angeles school earlier this week, a police official said Wednesday.

The body of Valentin Broeksmit, 46, was found Monday at Woodrow Wilson High School shortly before 7 a.m., Sgt. Rudy Perez of the Los Angeles School Police Department said in email.

Records with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner do not list a cause of death. Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Kenneth Cabrera told the Los Angeles Times that authorities do not suspect foul play.

Broeksmit was last seen driving a red Mini Cooper on the afternoon of April 6, 2021, on Riverside Drive and was later reported missing by relatives, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

His vehicle was found, the department said, but Broeksmit remained missing.

Perez said Wednesday that he appeared to be homeless.

According to a 2019 profile in the New York Times, Broeksmit was a musician and son of a Deutsche Bank executive who died by suicide in 2014.

After his father's death, Broeksmit gained access to his father's email account and found hundreds of files related to the bank, including board meeting minutes, financial plans, spreadsheets and password-protected presentations, the newspaper reported.

Federal and state authorities were scrutinizing allegations of criminal misconduct and the bank's long relationship with former President Donald Trump, the newspaper reported.

According to the Times, Broeksmit supplied the documents to journalists and others, including Fusion GPS, the research firm linked to an unverified dossier about Trump, and investigators with the FBI's New York office.

After meeting with FBI agents in Los Angeles, the agency permitted Broeksmit to publicly identify himself as a cooperating witness in a federal criminal investigation, the paper reported.

"Neither Fusion GPS nor the FBI immediately responded to requests for comment.

David Enrich, the Times reporter who authored the profile, said in a Twitter post Tuesday that Broeksmit was a central character in his his 2020 book, "Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction," and that news of his death was "terrible."

"We had a complicated relationship, but this is just devastating to hear," he said."

In this particular case, the question “Was he recently vaccinated?” is not actually the first thing to pop into my mind.

If I recall correctly, Deutsch Bank suffered from a run of imprudent managers and reckless lending, with Donald Trump a prominent borrower. Add in the bank’s connections to Russian financial interests, the obvious conclusion for believers in the Trump-Russia fairytale was that Deutsch was acting as Russia’s alter-ego in lending to Trump. As always, the lack of coherent and credible proof did little to deter such belief.

If Donald Trump is not made of wood, he must be a witch, kind of logic.

The father commits suicide and the son dies mysteriously.

Yeah, I’m buying it.

Deutsche Bank is connected to many high profile politicians.

Deutsche Bank is to financials what Jeffrey Epstein was to networking.

Pervasively reprobate global socialist left just silencing potential witnesses to their highly criminal and treasonous activity...?

Someone has to be sacrificed every now and then, to appease their satanic god.

I wonder how many people not named Trump have significant relationships with Deutschland Bank. I suppose that’s not headline worthy.

The Russian Trump thingy fell apart, so SOMEONE has to re focus on another scandal.

So, the Durham indictments have come out and specified that data was manufactured when it comes to alpha bank and the Russian phones. This was accomplished by DARPA connected Georgia Tech researchers with top secret clearance. The faked information was funded by the DNC and Hillary, then sent to Perkins Coi (Obama and DNC lawyers) attorney Susseman wherein its was ‘given’ by a neutral bystander (who was working for Hillary) to the FBI and other agencies.

This person was in hiding after giving ‘whistleblower’ information on the Deutche bank. MSN tries to point how his death might effect testimony. Except by now, his important testimony would be to Durham! Simply put, if he was working or paid by the DNC, and had given faked documents and testimony, that would be a serious problem for the DNC and democrats as well as Hillary.

Then suddenly he turns up dead.

Leftists would point at Trump having him silenced.

I guess Killary, having him silenced to keep him from implicating some bigs in the Russian Collusion Hoax of 2016 and on.

Also from 2015...

Deutsche Bank's Fine For Breaking Sanctions Is By No Means Its Biggest Problem

...From at least 1999 through 2006, Deutsche Bank used non-transparent methods and practices to conduct more than 27,200 U.S. dollar clearing transactions valued at over $10.86 billion on behalf of Iranian, Libyan, Syrian, Burmese, and Sudanese financial institutions and other entities subject to U.S. economic sanctions, including entities on the Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) List of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).

“We had a complicated relationship, but this is just devastating to hear,” he said.”

________________________________________________________

Yeah, it was complicated alright. You ripped him off David Enrich - took credit for his work:

Here’s Val Broeksmit’s words on Twitter. (I don’t have Twitter and I’m not bothering with the HTML to post images of his Tweets):

1.) Imagine you turn on the television & you watch a guy doing the talk show rounds; (@davidenrich) telling the world YOUR life story focusing on all your mistakes. Using Concepts you explained to him. Even speaking your words verbatim - words that you taught him - as his own...

2.) ...Now imagine he changes tact, speaks of your father & his suicide, & how he,(& he alone) KNOWS more than you about your fathers life!
THEN he (#davidenrich) destroys your reputation & character, lies in let’s say, @NYTimes, calling you terrible, false, & exaggerated names, ...

3.) ...You watch & listen show after show, as he presents ALL the work & research YOU’ve done for 5 years as his own! ( @davidenrich ) rather than give you a thread of credit, he continues to attack you... after all, now you’re now just a “complicated character” with “drug problems”...

4.) ...furthermore, you know he doesn’t know what he’s taking about.
He sat on the biggest story of the decade because a german named Jürgen, from the bank he proclaims to attack, asked him not to!
BUT,
Then one day you get lucky and are able to viciously put him in his place...

5.) ...you grin focused as you destroy him publicly on the
@NYTimes podcast #thedaily (with @mikiebarb) - you call out his lies, his ethical misdeeds, his secret deals with @DeutscheBank. Your girlfriend even gets a chance to confront him & expose how he treated her..

6.) ...for two days you watch him sweat & squirm & twitch. A new nervous tick forms on his face. You smile because you know that tick belongs to you now. So You plant an imaginary flag on his duplicitous face.
The fireable offense he tried hard to hide, you expose. Proof...

7.) ..Proof both of you were doing business years before his
@nytimes profile about you was published & years before the book he stole from you was published.
You offer documents of proof detailing a year of meeting with hollywood producers, as he actively sells your life story...

8.) He ( @davidenrich ) sets up meetings for you & you attend. You present the $20,000 pitch deck his agent & producer put together for Netflix. Photos from Al Pacino’s Bday party. Myriad texts & emails between you both + endless hollywood agents - there’s even an option agreement...

9.) ... working together to create a story in the #NYT to make hollywood money is a serious crime in journalism... You have him beat. Your a bit sad, but not too sad as your girlfriend reminds you what he’s Done.

But what’s gnawing are you, in the back of your mind & everyday...

10.) ... Is the story he buried at the request of
@DeutscheBank. The evidence he won’t show. It’s driving you mad. Why, do you ask yourself, did @davidenrich bury the story about VTB bank indemnifying a loan to @realDonaldTrump, through liquidity trapped at DB trust subsidy #DBTCA...

11.) ... where three CLO’s (colaterized Loan obligations) MISSING the all important ‘consenting agreement’ The only loans in a traunce of 8000 HNW individuals at DBTCA, backed by Russian money, ONE of which, in 2013 was signed & indemnified by the infamous,
Dmitry Rybolovlev.

Hmm...

12.) This particular CLO was 3% about the NAV. The wrapper alone caught the attention of DB compliance, setting off alarms in Jacksonville FLA, resulting in a SARS report.

You wonder how a #NYTimes writer could goto Jacksonville, FLA and return with nothing but the word....

13.) ...of a whistleblower, who would later disassociate herself from the writer ( @davidenrich )
You walk alone with a ciggarette, thinking of the 2nd CLO, bearing the signature of the one & only
Viktor Vekselberg.
You scratch your head, smoke and wonder... why?

Hmmm.
