Should Hunter Biden Be in Jail? Another Look at the Oglala Sioux Indian Tribe Securities Fraud Case
RedState ^ | October 19, 2020 | Shipwreckedcrew

Posted on 10/19/2020 12:52:14 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

There’s a mystery about to unfold about Hunter Biden’s connection to an Indian bond fraud scheme that happened from 2014-15, for which some business associates of Hunter Biden have gone to federal prison.

Bottom line: Hunter Biden followed his partner, Devon Archer, into bed with some unabashed Wall Street fraud merchants.

No ifs, ands, or buts — Hunter Biden laid down with dogs and now he’s got fleas.

I wrote two articles last week on the decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reinstating the felony securities fraud conviction of Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s, main business partner in his Ukraine and Chinese business ventures that seem to have traded on Joe Biden’s position as Vice President.

The second article looked into the details of the fraudulent bond deal which left an Indian Tribe saddled with a mountain of debt, and buyers of the Indian Tribe’s bonds the likely possibility that the bonds were worthless and the money they invested has been lost. The scheme was relatively sophisticated, with a lot of moving parts, and involved a variety of “players.”

After the release last week of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop exposing some of the business schemes he’s been involved in, a person convicted in the Indian Tribe bond fraud, Bevan Cooney, has now made available approximately 26,000 emails in his Gmail account, suggesting there are documents there that implicate Hunter Biden in the Indian bond fraud scheme — and probably a lot more.

Cooney has released the emails because he claims that Hunter Biden improperly escaped accountability and responsibility for his role in the fraud for which seven other people have gone to prison...

Good point about the kiddie sex, where there’s little to no statute of limitations. It could be what nails Hunter.

I’ve actually been investigating this very thing.

There are ties to Banc of California for the bonds, according to SEC filings.

Also, did you know that Jason Galanis was considered the “new porn king”? He had a very large stake in Penthouse International.

Isn’t Devon Archer a former major fundraiser for John Kerry?

Bureaucracies don’t promote people who buck the system. Not ever. Only swamp creatures at heart will make it up the DoJ ladder. Same with all bureaucracies.

The author simply does not understand how con artists work. They operate like magicians following the same 3 stages, the pledge, the turn, and the prestige.

Hunter Biden being a part of Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC was like showing the audience a pack of cards with the seal intact or, with Hunter, an implied certificate of authenticity. The tribes convinced themselves that this deal was legitimate because the son of the VP of the US was involved in it.

Selling the bonds to tribal investors and making the proceeds disappear was the turn.

The twist with con artists is they never show the prestige because the money reappears in their bank accounts, yachts, and mansions and this has no entertainment value to the suckers.

>>> It could be what nails Hunter.

The fact that the FBI has sat on this laptop for over a year without arresting Hunter is what should nail the FBI.

Sorry, but as much as I love Rudy, he’s lost his mojo. Twenty years ago, there’d be sparks flying all over newsrooms.

27 Jan 2020: Hunter Biden’s name used to legitimize sale of fraudulent tribal bonds
By Ernestine Chasing Hawk, Native Sun News
Part II of a series | Part I
WAKPAMNI LAKE – The Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation bond scheme that defrauded unwitting investors of more than $60 million, attracted the attention of the Wall Street Journal, because of a high profile name connected to it, Hunter Biden.

The bond offerings by the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation, promised millions in relief to one of the most impoverished areas in the nation, with little or no economic development opportunities. However the old adage, “If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is” turned out to be true in this case.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, in May 2016, seven people connected to the WLCC case were indicted then arrested for securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud: Jason Galanis, Hugh Dunkerley, Gary Hirst, John Galanis, a/k/a “Yanni,” ***Bevan Cooney, ***Devon Archer and Michelle Morton...

All of the defendants have been tried and sentenced for varying degrees of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
However during Devon Archer’s trial in June of 2018, an old Yale classmate of Archer’s was repeatedly implicated in the scheme. According to court transcripts Archer was a longtime business partner of Hunter Biden and the pair were connected to an “to an opaque investment company, called Rosemont Seneca Bohai, LLC, which on information and belief, was affiliated with Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLP, an investment company run by Archer’s friend and former college roommate, Hunter Biden.”
Rosemont was started by Archer, Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and the heir to the Heinz ketchup empire, Christopher Heinz.

According to prosecutors at Archer’s trial, Archer and Biden were also connected to the Burnham Financial Group, “where his business partner Devon Archer — sat on the board of directors.” Biden was listed as the vice-president. Although Burnham was not named in any court proceedings, they were the alleged placement agent for the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation tribal bond offerings.
Burnham shut down shortly after a complaint was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission and is no longer licensed.

Racketeering Statute of Limitations

Title 18 of the United States Code, section 3282, provides that no person may be brought to trial, prosecuted or punished for any non-capital offense unless they are indicted or information is filed within five years. It is important to note that some criminal activities that might be connected with racketeering may not be protected by the short statute of limitations provided by Title 18.

No ... he’s a democrat . . . they never go to jail or get charged with anything

Blagojevich said yes they do, if they threaten someone higher up the ladder. James Traficant also twisted a few senior dems noses and paid the price.

So, every 10 years or so they'll barf up one or two POS as sacrificial lambs. That's no where near enough.

Very true of course there could have been many if Barr didn't just prosecute Trump's friends and went after some of Obama, Hillary or Biden's friends.
