In an explosive legal complaint filed last month in Delaware, attorneys for a major Ukrainian bank alleged that two oligarchs who founded the bank and controlled it from 2006 to 2016 laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent corporate loans to purchase assets in the United States and unjustly enrich themselves and their associates.
Dubbed the "Optima Schemes" in the 104-page document, these "brazen fraudulent schemes" were successful, among other things, in making the oligarchs and their co-defendants the largest commercial real estate holders in Cleveland. With money siphoned from public bonds and 20 million private Ukrainian citizens who'd opened accounts with PrivatBank, the oligarchs Igor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Bogolyubov doled out corporate loans to shell companies that they controlled. They used PrivatBank "as their own personal piggy bank," in the words of the complaint.
Those loans were then laundered in multiple digital transactions, sent through dozens of other shell companies that had been created exclusively for the purpose of laundering. These accounts were managed by co-conspirators at PrivatBank's branch in Cyprus.
The true origin of the money thus concealed, funds were then shipped to LLCs in Delaware (hence the legal filing there). Those LLCs "One Cleveland Center, LLC," to take just one example were used to acquire properties and metalworking facilities in the U.S. Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov are mineral magnates and own mining factories and metalworking plants in Ukraine.

Amazing that all those supposed experts on the Mueller team didnt notice any of this despite supposedly having money laundering experts on board. They must have tossed aside mountains of evidence trying to find anything on the Trump campaign.

Here’s that Kolomoisky character again
For now I think Kolomoisky is the least bad guy over there and the only one with any coherent agenda.
What else would you do with evidence of the largest fraudulent charity in the world?
“Amazing that all those supposed experts on the Mueller team didnt notice any of this despite supposedly having money laundering experts on board”
Probably because they know there are a lot of democrat names scattered in that big pile of horse manure.
They should have bought the Browns.
I wish they would use the term Ukraine Businessmen instead of Oligarch. It gives a false impression.
Wonder if John Kasich got in on any of this...
Nah, they were buying up distressed property.
Oh, I see what youre doing here!
Funny guy, huh!
I doubt it.
These criminals know smart guys when they see them.
Or dont.

The funny thing is, the Baby Barisma paternity suite may result in exposing the entire rotten empire of bribery.
By no means am I familiar with much going on in Ukraine. But I keep seeing this guy’s name popping up and he doesn’t seem to be very nice.
Yes, every time you turn around there’s another congresscritter’s family member involved with Ukraine. Snort, and that is exactly why they need Trump out.
